While impressions on the game have been somewhat mixed, the number of bugs that have affected people's quest progress and save files has been a pretty unanimous gripe with the launch of the game, so we're definitely eager to check out the title again with this beefy amount of TLC. If you've paused your playthrough of the game in anticipation of a certain quest being bugged or a similar issue, it might be time to boot it back up again. The full set of notes was published to the game's Steam community page and we've copied them below.
