- Selling a container to a trader and then swapping to a different character in the Trade/Barter UI no longer allows you to use ‘Take All’ to transfer the trader’s stock to your inventory.

- Fixed an exploit that could give you free items from a trader by quickly escaping the Trade UI while dragging an item to the Barter UI inventory.

SCRIPTING

- Fixed a bug causing Minthara to keep repeating a greeting that also happened to be a nice little Act III spoiler.

- Fixed the ‘Enemy of Justice’ condition applying to your player character upon reaching Créche Y’llek or the Shadow-Cursed Lands if you knocked out Minthara in a previous region, or upon reaching the Lower City if you killed a guard at Moonrise Towers and Araj Oblodra witnessed it.
- Fixed a bug where the game would not realise knocked-out Minthara had been defeated in Act I if you took a Long Rest between knocking her out and defeating the other goblin leaders.
GAMEPLAY
- You can no longer save your game while the credits are rolling. This is to prevent issues with the game not knowing which state to load.
