Noblesse Oblige v0.18.1.0 Patch Notes (4-17-2026)

• 160k words of content! This is literally a full effing length fantasy novel's worth of content. >_>;

• Four new party members divided across routes!

• Significant new section of the story!

• Major religious event!

• Very significant new combat section

• Seven new achievements for those playing on Steam!

• Two (unfinished) intimate scenes for those with the patch! (These currently only have a SFW version; the full version, along with the ability to view old scenes, will likely be added in v0.19)

• New art for Lorena by the ever-excellent Mimo! Note that the old art can be restored using the system menu if desired. This will be moved to a patch next version.

• ??? (You'll find out. Maybe. Depends on your route :X)

= Lore/Content

• Renamed the "Professional Soldiers" investment to "Recruiting Mercenaries."

• Blind now prevents the cooldown on Overwhelm from being reset if a skill misses or is parried.
