Been a lurker for quite a while and waited starting a playthrough since there Always seem to be an interesting patch in the works. Are there any plans for some major changes or can I start up the game? I'd rather wait some more if something interesting will be added.
If you haven't played 8.xNC yet, then there are many new things to see and do. The 8.1 patch fixed a few issues with some of the enemy AI, which in my opinion is what makes the Temple into almost a new area. I say this because I tend to get used to how the foes are going to approach my team and set up before hand to easily handle them, but now .... they're not quite as predictable as before. The revised Hickory Branch is well worth any time spent, but be forewarned .... if you plan on throwing tactics to the wind, be prepared to say goodbye to a few of your party as they leave this plane of existence.
Well, I haven't given up on modding yet So yes, there will probably be more improvements down the line. Whether they're major or minor, the jury's still out I guess... (the higher level random encounters would be one (hypothetical ) example )
