Welcome to Update 4! It’s focused on making Kim’s user interface both easier to use and more informative. Ever wondered what determines an item’s price? Now you can click on it to see its modifiers and understand when and where to get the best deals! We’ve also made other characters’ opinion of you more important, added more ways to affect this in conversations and created a new scoring category so if you want to misbehave, don’t let too many people see! Check out the changelist to see everything we’ve polished and fixed and let us know what you’d like to see in future updates in the forums or on Twitter or Facebook:
