This is what’s in Update 1.3.2

Difficulty levels: The settings should now be easier to find. Also updated the descriptions for the exploration difficulty level.
Skill Nodes: These skills were introduced together with the river raids. From now on they also have the intended influence on Eivor’s stats – what exactly was not calculated correctly before is not stated in the patch notes though.
