I'm not at all sure if this is new, but since it involved a crash (and those have become a non-issue for me since quite a few patches ago), I thought I'd mention it:

Tried to switch to a different character (away from Tav) during the conversation with Isobel just prior to the Marcus-fight. Tried to switch to SH to put Protection from Good and Evil on Isobel and the game froze and then the Windows dialogue about "program is not responding" popped up.

I *think* it happened very late during the conversation, like one or two lines before the big cut-scene with the Winged Horrors starts.

Also: During said fight, something weird happened with Marcus. Karlach managed to down him on turn two, but for some reason he was just knocked out. I double checked but my party was not on non-lethal damage,so I'm not sure what happened there. He had my Tav's Hexblade-Curse on him when he "died", but I didn't get the Spectre pop-up/reaction. Probably because he's an Aberration and/or because he was unconscious. In any case, instead of having 1 HP remaining, he suddenly was back up to over 100 HP or so (full health, IIRC) while remaining prone and unconscious. Never seen this happen in any of my previous/pre-patch 8 runs, so I'm kinda suspecting that the Accursed Spectre reaction might have something to do with this.
