I kept meaning to write up and evaluate all the changes I liked with patch 5 but never got around to it, and I've been wanting to do the same for p6 but let's be honest that's probably not happening.
But there was a lot of changes in these two patches that I liked. From mechanical things like removing backstabbing, height bonuses being reduced to +/-2, or things like AI improvements (even if they sometimes irritates me too) and enemies making use of the environment to a bigger degree, to little things like the "character reselection shuffle" being hemmed in so you don't have all characters randomly changing places when you reselect between any of the party members, spears being made versatile, all manner of smaller things that I think shows they listen more than their silence makes us think they do.
So yeah mosr of all appreciativeness: thanks for watching us and listening to us, Larian!
(Bonus appreciation for the camp additions of patch 5; I didn't see enough cheer for that when p5 released)
