I also just tested to see if they made any changes to Arka's story which I've covered in
this post extensively and unfortunately there are no changes. In fact a particular line to convince her that Kanon would not want her to become a murderer is missing now, despite using detect thoughts on her which reveals she is thinking exactly about Kanon not wanting this for her, yet there is no dialogue option to choose it. Most likely is available only if she is persuaded rather than thought detected. So this quest is still very much unfinished and broken just as thought detection is, which leads me to believe everything else is pretty much the same as it was in Patch 8.
This update seems like it's just for reactions and Paladins, which apparently also don't work properly for some people. Makes me sad a bit seeing so much stuff buggy and broken still, especially since there won't be any more updates until release. But at least there's hope knowing that the next time an update drops, the game will function beautifully and properly. At least I hope it does
