Time for a mid-may update to the First Access! This one features a bunch of interface improvements and assorted minor changes. Right now I’m in the middle of overhauling a bunch of content-blocks, including equipment, followers and locations. The next update at the end of this month will shift a bunch of things around.

The goals with that upcoming update are:

• To make it clearer which followers can be found where

• To make it possible to find followers that are not the primary faction on a map

• To make equipment more relevant and useful compared to when it drops

• To make locations more interesting and useful

That said, there’s the changelog for this patch:
