Vagrus – The Riven Realms: Old Acquaintances is Out Now! (Patreon)

The time has come to release our next DLC, Old Acquaintances, which adds Javek and Sedarias to the main game, two Companions we’ve met in the prologue scenario previously. Both of them changed drastically in the time that passed since we first saw them and both offer extensive questlines to tell their stories, replete with new NPCs, enemies, allies, lore, and rewards.

The DLC also contains the Freelancers’ Guild, a specialized mercenary organization that allows you to recruit new hirelings (from a selection of four) to round out your crew. They can be found in the four major cities of the North and the Onyx Outpost.

Alongside the new content, the accompanying Patch (detailed below) contains a number of improvements and fixes to improve the general experience of Vagrus.

Patch 1.170 is LIVE

New Content

• The DLC ‘Old Acquaintances’ will now be unlocked to all its owners.

User Interface Improvements

• Clarified the visual guidance of Javek’s Hypnotize Skill.

• We streamlined tooltip behavior while using a controller based on feedback and expanded their functionality.

• Tutorial windows no longer appear minimized under any circumstances.

• Owned DLCs will now always show up properly under ‘Extras’ in Vagrus games in GOG and Epic Games Store libraries.

• Event choices with an Achievement dependency now show the proper icon (chalice).

• When using a controller, the Chart tutorial no longer scrolls the same way as the Chart is zoomed in and out.

• Fixed a rare issue occurring on GOG and the Epic Games Store, causing players to be unable to select the Knowledge Ambition upon vagrus creation when owning the Vorax Free-LC.

• You can no longer turn back in the initial parts of Pilgrims of the Wasteland when using a controller.

• Fixed an issue caused by owning more than 10.000 Bross upon loading a game.

• Fixed an issue that caused the game to freeze in Companion Combat when Suppressing Shot would trigger an Evade.

Most of all, we hope you enjoy what the Lost Pilgrims Team has put together. As always: stay vigilant, stay resilient, and conquer the wasteland!
