Overall I am LOVING how much more smoothed out all the cinematic interactions are. Previously the animations were janky from one phrase to the next. Well - they're flowing very smoothly now!
I only JUST got the speaking-with-lips-closed bug after about 5 hours of play time, talking to Nettie.
Still getting the occasional character-in-wrong-place bug but much fewer instances of this so far than in Patch 4. Thank you Larian!
