So from what I've gathered the past few days, it seems like quite a few major feedback requests from the fandom are datamined as up-and-coming. We're talking casual/romantic hugs, photomode, a goody recruitment option for Minthara (with the twist that her and Halsin will be at odds with one another and you'll have to pick one of them to keep in camp), and by the amounts of bugs and fixes they push out with each patch (hotfixes not included) it only proves that Larian keeps on going and will for some time. I don't know, maybe I'm high on copium but I genuinely want to believe that the fact that they changed up Karlach's kiss animation to the best, most fanfic-dreamy way it could've been, without us even asking for it, just kind of makes me hope that they won't abandon this thread and all the talking across all SM's and do something about it in the end.
Edit: A new Honor-mode achievement popped up on GOG so it seems like people asking for a more difficult/permadeath/ultra hard mode are also getting some!
So it seems like they'll give us a choice between Halsin and Minthara? That's great news if true, I won't have to lose Dammon for Karlach's story progress or losing both her and Wyll for Minthy and i'd love to have her because i'm really curious what Karlach and Wyll especially have to say about her and the banter. Might also have to replay another Karlach origin to romance Minthy now that I won't have to skip the grove to get her which would result in Dammon dying (because damn, the vid that was posted a while ago on what Minthy told Karlach was so beautiful)
