This is going to be one hella definitive example of a complete game when they stop updating it. Not only was it great at launch, they are fixing literally every problem. Most of the issues I never even encountered.
Wtf? I had a very buggy experience. Maybe it was because I was playing it in multiplayer, but I had glitches every 20 minutes and it crashed like every other hour.
I had a solid month of beautifully smooth gameplay with essentially zero distracting or overt bugs, and then a solid month of what you are describing. YMMV I guess 🤷♂️
Fairly certain you can no longer talk to a merchant now with one character and them rob them blind with another. Bummer
Edit: not sure what happened, but tried a different merchant and it worked. I couldn't do it at the grove blacksmith guy after the patch, but I could before.
