So...anyone else holding off until Patch 8?

[Rain]

I want to play again, but the amount of bug fixing/polishing that they will inevitably do and small changes that add into the bigger makes me just want to wait.

Yet...testing could take several months. What are you all going to do?

[Raz]

Nope. in the middle of a run that has been restarted five times now due to me losing saves, dying, and my computer being a punk ♥♥♥♥♥.

Don't curse me but patch 8 will come with a couple fixes on existing bugs but also with new set of bugs. That is the way software development works. Unless you are interested playing with users on other platforms (crossplay) or try one of the new classes, don't wait patch 8 might be better or worst than patch 7.

Patch 8 doesnt add the Wildfire druid subclass so i dont care about this update

[EricHVela]

I was going to hold off, but I hit a lull until the next game that's holding my interest.

There are new things I swear weren't there before: extra dialog and opportunities. Feels to me like some of the story-based rough edges were smoothed even more without making major changes.

This will probably make whatever polishing there is in 8 have less impact, but now, my curiosity is spiked, and I won't stop now.

You can get Circle of Wildfire right now from mod.io.

In fact, due to a bug, right now, I have Jaheira spec'd into BOTH Circle of WIldfire, and Circle of the Sea. She seems able to take one subclass at lvl2, and the other at lvl3.

Alas, Patch 8 may finally fix that bug. (I jest, as fixing that bug will solve other problems, even if it's letting me cheat with my druids at the moment.)

You never know. A loophole let people recruit two NPCs who seemed designed to be mutually exclusive and that became "fixed" as a permanent feature instead of being removed.

It's like musical chairs. When the bug fixing finally stops for good there will be a set immortalized bugs in the game, :) There is a mod that fixes a lot of item and spells called - Item and Spell Bug Fixes.

Respec Astarion into Drunken Master.

Do it.

[Chaosolous]

Nah. I'm doing an evil Durge run right now. I'll finish that. Then prob wait for the patch and do an Evil Karlach or Evil Gale run, using the new classes.

[Mode:Might]

yes
