I've made a few critical comments about patch 4 but I also wanted to point out some improvements.

1. Books! The new books are good. We get a primmer on the weave, a treatise on soul coins and some more details on the waar between Gith and the mind flayers. Getting closer to the BG experience where you could get learn Forgotten Realms lore from libraries. (but Larian, make the books a bit longer please)

2. Ground triggers for conversations are near quick travel gates. Gives more frequent banters and the banters make more sense. Astarian is now talking about goblins in the goblin camp and not in the underdark.

3. New dialogues. I liked having a theology battle with Khorga. Ahh, but Silvanus also says . . . Nice job, priests of the same religion should try and settle disagreements by making references to their sacred texts.

* Not new but I like that Astarian now tells you details about his relationship with Cazador even if you've not had sex with him.

* Fixed the Koa Toa dialogues. My toon is now a god of the fish people. They've promised to stop spilling blood and only strangle people which was nice.

4. Shadow druid fight was much improved.
