Hi guys,
we are still working on Forgotten Stories but of course the main content needs further polish. Here is a list of all fixes, adjustments and changes that have made their way into the internal build after the last official patch 1.2.5.0. was published on 03 March 2018.
Note that these fixes haven’t been patched yet and therefore mentioned bugs are still in Enderal. These fixes will come along with Forgotten Stories. Also note that the following sections contain spoilers. Keep in mind that the definitions of what is “Tech”, “Balancing”, ”UI” etc are blurred a bit, they usually go hand in hand.
Thanks to external helpers (gavrant, Ixion, archerarcher) who contributed to these fixes and our internal testers for helping us making Enderal a more enjoyable Total Conversion.
Let us know what you think.

Sidequest:
  • “Bad Vibrations”: Tarhutie’s Elixir can only be used once in the Clear Water Cave.
  • “Revenge is Sour”: Belend rewards the player character (hereinafter called player) with the proper amount of coins.
  • "Gnarldalf has to die": Increased range from which the chanting of Yrinto can be heard.
  • “The Brotherhood of the Kor”: Rukas’ corpse can now actually be found.
  • “Secrets from the Can”: There won’t be a second note in the casket on the beach. Removed unused properties from the respective script.
  • “Divide and Conquer”: Milbert and Sila now have proper AI behaviour after finishing the quest.
  • “The Voice from the Water”: Jugar now talks properly to the player if the player sits down before him. Furthermore, bribing Meldor gives you the proper reward if your speechcraft is below 25 and fixed a compiler error of a script.
  • “Put Off the Evil Hour”: Vynroot is no longer purchasable multiple times. The scene with Kabar and the two Rhalâta guys can’t be interacted with to prevent some strange bugs. Furthermore Kabar’s note can’t be interacted with before the respective objective was displayed.
  • “Like Newly Born”: Added missing script that prevented the body of the apothearius to spawn.
  • “Apotheosis, Part I”: Pahtira is now present in the final scene of the quest under every circumstance.
  • “The Butcher of Ark”: Quest Objectives are now really fixed.
  • “Myths and Legends”: Made sure that the Ash Widow can’t respawn under all circumstances.
  • “Eventualities”: Fixed “Scrollbug” in Elia’s dialogue resulting in all options being displayed properly.
  • “Retribution”: Added multiple fixes at the start of the quest. The quest can’t trigger multiple times now.
  • “Retribution”: Plotstopper fixed that got introduced with the new NQ34 start.
  • “Fever”: Added a new little side quest to better illustrate how the player’s fever evolves and that it got “cured” by Lishari.
  • “Wanted in Ark/Riverville”: Fixed a couple EXP issues within both quests.
  • "Wanted in Ark": Fixed a bug that caused Bertulus being killable without accepting the bounty quest but declining it.
  • Scene: It’s not possible for the player anymore to engage the dialogue in Duneville multiple times which resulted in some weird force greet behaviour of one sailor.
  • Scene: Bandits no longer respawn.
Characterquest:
  • “Two Souls, Part V”: Removed the torch from Calia’s inventory to make sure that it won’t obstruct the scenery.
  • “Every Day Like the Last, Part V” and “Two Souls, Part V”: The player should now really not be able to start the quest a second time.
Mainquest:
  • "A New Life" :Sirius should no longer be able to push the player into the corner when searching for a rope.

  • "A New Beginning": The scene after Finn’s initial dialogue should now work properly under every circumstance.

  • "The Void": The little puzzle in Yero's Cellar should now work as intended. Formerly the puzzle did reset multiple times when failing to insert all sticks in time. This caused major confusion for the player since Jespar said his line about "being to slow" multiple times as well as the script kept failing the puzzle when the player already started a new run.

  • “Part of Something Momentous, Part II”: Added a failsafe that ports Natara to the correct place so she can be part of the conversation if she isn’t present in the first place due to unknown reasons.
  • "Part of Something Momentous, Part III": It is no longer possibly to run past the Keeper in the Emporium and therefore the consecration being buggy.
  • "Part of Something Momentous, Part III": The armory now actually offers order gear to the player after the ceremony. Only works on new games.

Awesome list but I was hoping that under Sounds, I would read reduced or eliminated the incredibly annoying yawning/burping/snorking/spitting/coughing/etc. sounds in Ark and taverns. It had gotten to the point to where I have to turn the sound off if I am wandering/hanging around Ark.

I have never noticed it to be that bad - but I do play the German version, maybe it is different. I recommend you create a suggestion in the Bug-Tracker.

I guess that was a waste of effort. I know something like this can be a personal preference but maybe someone can mod this or at least point to the individual sound files, if they exist.

No, the ticket wasn't a waste of effort. I've had a look at the raw files and tested it in the game and but I didn't consider it a problem that needs to be adjusted. But as you said, it's probably also only my personal preference on these kind of things. Besides, it also heavily depends on the overall sound settings one is running.

So, here are a few more things that have been adjusted in the last two weeks. Im going to integrate the following into the main post:

Sidequest:
  • "Gnarldalf has to die": Increased range from which the chanting of Yrinto can be heard.
  • "Wanted in Ark": Fixed a bug that caused Bertulus being killable without accepting the bounty quest but declining it.
Mainquest:
  • "A New Life": Sirius should no longer be able to push the player into the corner when searching for a rope.
  • "A New Beginning": The scene after Finn’s initial dialogue should now work properly under every circumstance.
  • "The Void": The little puzzle in Yero's Cellar should now work as intended. Formerly the puzzle did reset multiple times when failing to insert all sticks in time. This caused major confusion for the player since Jespar said his line about "being to slow" multiple times as well as the script kept failing the puzzle when the player already started a new run.
  • "The Void": Book of Yero can now be thrown away after the quest and is no longer stuck in the inventory.
  • "The First Steps": The first scene with Constantin should no longer get stuck under certain circumstances.
  • "Taming the Waves": Added a failsafe in case that the elevator did not come down.
  • "Part of Something Momentous, Part III": It is no longer possibly to run past the Keeper in the Emporium which resulted inthe consecration being buggy.
  • "Part of Something Momentous, Part III": The armory now actually offers order gear to the player after the ceremony. Only works on new games.
  • "Deus Ex Machina": Calia will talk with the player about the beacon when they have actually seen it not out of sight when entering the dungeon.
  • "Deus Ex Machina": Added better Questmarkers in the late stages of the quest.
  • "Into the Deep": Added timer failsafe in case Jespar does not want to leave the train in time.
  • "Angel": Placed more oil puddles in case the fire doesn’t spread properly.
  • "Angel": Objective at the end of the quest now only gets completed if the player has returned to Lexil.
  • "All the Dead Souls": Letters of Adila get removed from the player’s inventory when talking to Jespar.
  • "Black Light, Part III": Fixed a stuck animation when the player tried to interact with the bed.
  • "Forgotten Homeland, Part I": The player can no longer break the quest by using Mark and Recall spells to enter Kurmai's workshop in the Powder desert.
  • "Forgotten Homeland, Part III": Jespar/Calia can no longer interrupt each others dialogue after being attacked by the turret.
  • "Forgotten Homeland, Part III": Fixed an issue where the player would slide through the elevator when standing on the edge of the elevator and colliding with the ledges on the wall.
Tech:
  • Removed tons of unused and/or redundant properties from quests and scripts.
  • Fixed Oorbâya behaviour and death.
  • Teleportation scrolls that can’t be casted due to some reason, will be added back to the inventory of the player.
  • Integrated ENBoost. ENBoost should increase overall game stability and FPS in some cases. Furthermore ENBoost locks FPS to 60.
World:

ENBoost looks FPS to 60.
Should that be "locks" instead of "looks"?

Would it be under Voices, Effects or Footsteps? (I assume Voices but wanted to be sure.)
