The things that have just been revealed in patch 5 are probably the best (this is a relative word) news I've received about this game since its first announcement. I'm happy to give credit when it is due. I like that they are giving us the new party management UI in camp. The new custom mode would be the only mode in which I would ever play the game. It's also something I've been clamoring for. And of course the "choices and consequences" epilogue is most definitely a huge improvement, although it is an open question for me if this will be meaningful. After all, if I don't get my generally preferred option in each choice that I am presented throughout the game, then the epilogue is going to be meaningless for me. And right now I see many choices in the game where my preferred *good* alignment option is not given to me. But all in all, this patch does move the game somewhat towards the side of making it a good game for me.

Now the next big improvement I'd want is a built-in mod manager and Steam workshop access so that I can mod the crap out of the game and fix all of its many remaining wrong things.
