Game froze. No way to progress, can't load a save or anything. I am honestly not a fan of this update. Combat was tolerably boring before; now its just an excrutiating money pit, with only two NPCs worth investing in and feeling even more forced. The slaving system isn't great either. I reccomend you look at strive for power for how it should be done.
And for the love of god, MAKE IT LESS COMBAT CENTRIC with more ways to get cash.
Also, while I appreciate the attempt with the background systems, the fact two of them are locked and you have yet to tell me how to unlock them, there is no information on the wiki about them and the fact the plot progress utterly stops with zero explanation after the jailbreak with aria makes the system unfeasible. Just...let us assign things where we want. Im getting really annoyed at a game that has great lore and wonderful worldbuilding but isn't living up to the potential.
Another issue is the hacking and classes. To ever engage in that part of the game; you need to build for intelligence, if you build for intelligence, you are utterly crippled in combat, meaning the hacking areas are worthless most of the time.
All in all I like this game, but it needs a lot of polish and less pigeonholing. It is inexcusable to present all these options that aren't valid because you expect the player to do one thing and only that thing. I will hold out hope that the issues will be corrected but I am at a point where I may just throw money at the subscribestar and just send the tier 4 version to whomever asks to avoid anyone spending money on this and feeling disapointed.
