This patch introduces two important updates: a complete rebalance of equipment and the ability to hide headgear.
Previously, there was an issue where a character with 10 strength could not equip full-plate T4 armor without becoming overloaded. This has now been addressed, making it possible to wear such armor. Additionally, other equipment has been rebalanced to reduce weight.
While investing 1-2 additional strength points is still a good choice—as it allows carrying medkits, potions, and is required for multiclassing when using dual weapons—it is no longer mandatory for light armor related subclasses.
