Well this update is dumb.

The game automatically selects your character in cutscenes now. For example when going to talk to Kagha for the first time you will automatically talk as your player character and not whoever might be your face. In this case my PC is a fighter and my face is Astarion as a lore bard. Needless to say I'm a little miffed that Arabella dies just because I can't use my face to do his job.

So if you're not playing a charisma character don't even bother making one of your other characters a charisma character.

Edit: Also hide party now hides the whole party even when you are separated from everyone in a different group. That is kind of silly since it used to work that anyone grouped with you would hide if you hit hide party instead of the whole group. This was useful for two rogues cruising around. Now you have to use the hide button instead and do it for each individual you want to hide.
