Is this the first time tier 4 leaked? Also is it working properly?
We got tier 4 for the previous version a week or two before this version. I haven't tested everything, but the tier 2 quest for your brother's girl works. I don't get why it wouldn't work; someone would have complained.
On the other hand, I also installed the Automation Mod, and it's acting a bit glitchy, but it's still kinda useful.
I haven't really played in about year, and I can't tell if the interface has gotten better or worse. For example, I forgot how to remove someone from "Favorite NPCs" and spent like 20 minutes looking for that option. When you click a face on the favorites list, it goes directly into the Interact menu, and you never see the Actions from the regular NPC menu. Quirks like this are all over the UI, and it makes re-learning the game incredibly tedious, even with the Automation mod.
The regular saves send the save to the browser cache. They are not kept as separate files, though, so all the player can do is clear the cache (which deletes all saves).
If you go through your browser's data, you'll notice many files for each webpage and media there. You can infact find the data file specifically for Raana, but yeah, it's in SQLite format (at least on Firefox), so you'll have to parse it. It's hard to explain to someone the location paths because each OS is different even for the same browser, and there's many browsers. (I don't understand why they keep making more Chromium browsers with a different skin and a few plugins, and portray that as a different browser.)

I hate the AppData directory in Windows. It seems like every developer chooses, on a whim, whether to use Local or LocalLow or Roaming and which files go in there as opposed to somewhere else (e.g. Documents). It's not much better in Linux as every distribution handles it slightly differently, but at least all your profiles are usually in the home directory.
I like this game, but one thing puts be off at least in the prior versions. The unique NPC don't have unique traits they are randomly generated when you hire them, wish it wasn't like that.
I agree, but most of their Stats and a few of their Traits are fixed, or at least the randomness is limited according to each character, plus their story is always the same of course.
