4.3 progress? Options

[coaster]

Hi Sikret

Sorry to be a pain but do you have any idea when v4.3 will be ready for public release (not looking for a specific day, but whether it might be a matter of days or weeks?)

I would quite like another run through BG2 with IA installed, but as there seems to be an increasing list of bugfixes & features for 4.3 compared to 4.2, I am wondering if it is worth waiting for a bit longer.

Thanks

If your main PC is a vagrant or a cavalier, starting a new game after installing v4.3 will be mandatory. Otherwise, it is not mandatory but it's still strongly recommended. Reasons:
1- Some (not many) items are added to the randomizer program. If you do not start a new game, you will never find those items in the game.
2- Lilarcor is not an easy pray in v4.3. It's now guarded. If you already have Lilarcor, and if you don't start a new game, it may disappear from your ineventory as you have not actually defeated its guardians.
3- New content is added to the 3rd level of WK. If you have already been there, you will not see the new content and you won't be able to proceed to the 4th level. So, if you are in the 3rd level of WK, you will need to rertun to a saved game before that level.
4- The battle with Faldorn in druid grove is revised (slightly improved; don't panic!). If you have already done the trademeet quest, you will not see the new content.
And some other new content (such as Improved "Chaos monster" in the last quest of druid stronghold, etc...) are added.
In short, depending on how far you have progressed in the game, it is probable that you miss some new content, but your game will not break (that's why I said it is not mandatory to start a new game).
