WORK IN PROGRESS BUILD AND DOCUMENT
This is a work in progress build and as such, neither of the changes and implementations found in it are final. Neither is the patchnotes document, which will be updated, corrected and completed over the Public Beta Client period to better reflect the work in progress nature of this build.
Exiles of the Public Beta Client lands!
Brace yourselves Exiles as the Age of Heroes is upon us! Your settlements will never be the same! In this major free update, your followers will act on their needs ~for a change~, new companions with the promise of adventures, and much more to discover! Tidy up your tavern, warm up by a campfire, and summon the bards to sing about this new journey ahead.
You can test out the new content in our public Beta. Remember that this is an early access build and you will experience bugs. Your feedback, as always, is massively appreciated.
Thank you for showing interest in our public beta, and don’t forget to send us feedback if you try it out!
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING MODS
Please remember that updates can mess with the functionality of your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed.
Living Settlements
It is time Exiles that we allow our followers and workers to live their best lives. They worked hard, many times under the scalding sun of the desert, and it’s their turn to show you what’s what!
With this new feature, your workers will have a needs system that guides them into a better work-life balance, seeking rest and feast!
Watch as your settlement comes to life with new animations, a new UI for bonus selection on workbenches, and move them around to see new interactions with placeables! Be the follower for a while to discover what’s truly in their hearts and with whom they prefer to sit for their meals.
Companions
What’s best in life than the friends we made along the way?
With this update we introduce two new companions, but don’t be fooled, they are not quite like regular followers. To earn their loyalty you must hear their stories and adventure on new quests!
First, you will need to scavenge the Lands to find them. Then, understand what troubles them and how to assist. New perks follow them along the way and your decisions might change their fate.
