So Swen's been reading our forum discussions on how Repair should be fixed... awesome! Just hope he 1) gets rid of permanent durability decreases altogether (which the translated note does seem to say, thanks to you folks), and 2) makes higher Repair/"Blacksmithing" ability levels actually worth taking - i.e. not just having them mean you need to click a hammer a couple extra times to be able to repair every single piece of equipment to 100%.
(I wrote elsewhere about the idea to have higher Repair/Blacksmithing ability levels be prerequisites for repairing more valuable/higher-level equipment, and/or to have the highest level even allow you to improve equipment slightly "beyond 100%." But I think I've spammed this idea enough elsewhere.

)
Cheers Larian!
P.S. Gyson - guess you need to tell Swen you're happy.
