[ Scripts ]

Fixed an issue involving Lares in Chapter 3.

Fixed mistimed routine assignments of several NPCs.

Fixed several instances where a dialogue would not terminate dialogue-mode due to a scripting oversight.

Fixed several problems and glitches related to sheep detection when bringing an offering to Pedro (and later Opolos) in the Monastery. Additionally, the dialogue should no longer glitch out if you don’t have enough gold.

It is no longer possible to steal the old coins back after selling them to Wasili.

NPCs should no longer begin to attack the player after the penalty for a crime is paid.

NPCs wearing the Medium Dragon Hunter’s Armor now have a correctly textured neck.

Restored unused voicelines for when the player talks to a victim of his crimes after paying a fine.

Serpentes will no longer reprimand you if you refuse the “Forged Mine Shares” quest as a Mercenary or Dragon Hunter.

The Ice Block spell will now correctly leave the opponent at 1 HP, as was originally intended.

The Light Miltia Armor now hangs in the barracks instead of the old Guard Armor.

The helmet of the Heavy Dragon Hunter’s Armor now has blades, which were missing due to a model error.

You can no longer ask Mika to help you with Akil’s bandits multiple times in a row, causing an infinite XP exploit.
