Gotta be honest here, I don't think this update is worth playing currently. Don't get me wrong, I don't have any issues with the writing, it's just the sequencing and pacing.
This feels like a first third of a tv show episode, all set up and we're not even getting to the 2nd act of the plot beat, let alone payoff and resolution. I think it would have been better served with a more substantial chunk of content later down the line, especially since previous update was reasonably recent still.
P.S. Really interesting dynamic with The Arbiter as well, didn't really expect to see her being this friendly
