Hail to the twelve!

With todays Patch the Character editor so far only available for the "modding" area is now also active in the "normal" game. When generating characters in the temple, there is a new button "Edit Look" right below the left "Roll dice" button. Almost every detail of your new character can be adapated here, Moreover, generated characters from now on display their worn equipment instead of always looking the same!

ATTENTION: Existing Charakters are NOT automatically displaying their equipment! In order to make them, please go to a temple, activate the "Group management" and use the new button "Edit Character Looks" on the respective portrait and possibly adapt your character. After closing the editor, the equipment should also be displayed for existing characters. This is only necessary once!

I apologize for the long time since the last update, I was sick for the better part of the last two weeks and unable to release the already completed update. The absolute highlight of this update is a huge content update including the complete city of Lowangen and along with it the Dungeon "Swamp of the Forgotten". This includes all the quests, dialogs, conversations, specials and other content for both locations. We are especially proud of Lowangen, the largest city in the game by far, with more than 150 buildings, three distinguishable districts and nearly 200 NPCs in the Streets. The swamp is also huge, with more than 600.000 m². Both locations have been implemented with the Version of 1994 as a template and with a myriad of improvements and corrections.
