We have just released a new beta build for Update 3.0. This will likely be the last update before the release of The White March - Part II.

We have also made the questline to defend your keep available through debug commands. To access the questline, do the following:

• In the console, enter the following command: SetGlobalValue b_Enable_Yenwood 1

Added the "Ground" keyword and associated it with a whole bunch of spells and abilities that are ground-based: Tanglefoot, Web, Slicken, the various priest Seals, etc.

 

"Ground" sounds like a buff against electricity damage to me. Bad choice of a keyword, imo.
