Nearly five months after the game's September 2017 release, the folks at Larian Studios have put together a new patch that makes Divinity: Original Sin II's Taunt skill go through Physical Armour, finally making it ineligible for the “Most Useless Skill Ever” award. This same patch also tweaks and fixes over 500 other skills, bugs and assorted issues, and adds a number of quality of life improvements. Here's an excerpt from the massive changelog:

• Added sorting to the trade window
• Added “Sell all wares” option to the controller trade window
