First off, I'm a game developer myself. What Larian is crafting here is nothing short of amazing. It is, and will be up there with the top RPGs imho.
I played through act1 twice over the course of a week or two. Once solo, once with my daughter. We both agreed we would not play more until a level cap increase/Act 2. So here I am on Patch 4 day going really? I have to continue waiting... Alright, back to Valheim.
ps- I haven't actually patched and am assuming there is no act 2/level cap increase because I didn't see it in any of the patch notes. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.
