  • Resolved the issue where companions were unable to jump while following the player character.
  • Fixed a situation where completing the tutorial with only Lae'zel alive prevented the player from saving the game in Act I.
  • Corrected Gale's dialogue, preventing it from ending abruptly when asked about what he wanted to show.
  • Addressed several instances of the "Pinocchio issue," wherein characters' noses (and cheeks) were elongated during cinematics, accompanied by the unsettling loss of eyeballs, transforming the eye sockets into flesh pits.
