So far, downloading for almost three hours and only 42% done. I have super fast internet.
I don't remember patch four or the others taking this long, but maybe my memory is shot?

How long did it take you all on average through steam?

My computer is upstairs and my modem is downstairs so it's a little slow on Steam. But it's at 25% after 5 minutes or so? Had to reserve space too. That took a few minutes.

^^That's crazy, why is mine taking so long I wonder?

Ive downloaded 200gb sample libraries in this amount of time. But it's taking longer for this 40gb update...

Yes, just did also. Really nice sword and XP boost.
On a side note, isn't the Jump keyboard shortcut the best thing ever. smile

I Love this patch. Its the best one I have seen yet. The overall effect is to make the game much more challenging and satisfying.

I hope Larian continues in this direction. The AI is much improved - NPC's are way more aggressive and nasty. The game is more tactical and rewarding.

Overall, great improvement patch, so hats off to the boys at Larian for that. Hope they continue on this route. But please oh please finish wizard so you can get rid of the silly learning any spell from scrolls thing. It is a tad immersion breaking for that class, at least for me. But currently that is my only gripe with it. Also, is it me or have they also mostly fixed guiding bolt? it seems to hit a lot more consistently now. Although when shooting it up at someone you still usually get 42 % hit chance only xD. that might need a bit tweaking still.

Having disengage as a action makes it feel so much more tactical and such. Maybe watching Solasta inspired them a bit to try harder to get the core ruleset right? As some things kinda feel like a nod to how solasta implemented things. (might not be though). But overall I love the fact encumbrance matters, that enemies have weight now (so no tossing dragons as a halfling haha).

There are many ways to make this easier, the biggest being having your people out of range of him and the cambions by being along the higher left and right that is raised up and pelting everything with ranged attacks. Then when one runs up just push them off and rinse and repeat, or thats how I take care of them. This patch they seem to just stand around just under me after a push or messing their aggro with an Mage hand or Illusion, letting me pelt them with hex enhanced Eldritch Blasts.
