Yeah, I started my 2nd playthrough two days before the patch2 and it looks more less the same for me as my first playthrough. I'm Act1 in goblin stronghold, enjoying the game very slowly, because I don't want to enter act3 as long as possible.

I'm starting to think, that they want us to go to avernus, maybe because future content, dlc killing Zariel or something like that.

But still fully hoping for fixing the engine and have nice life with my tav in BG at the end
