Update 3.6.35.8270 - No more playing chicken with the Kraken

Hi Everyone,

The latest update for Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition is now live!

We’ve a few changes: the placement of eggs in Wrecker’s Cave has been addressed, some issues with GM mode have been fixed, and pickpocketing someone in Fort Joy no longer means you can’t talk to NPCs. Also, there’s no more playing chicken with the Kraken as it’s now immune to Chicken Form.

Safe travels through Rivellon!
