Even if I monitor progress almost on a day-to-day basis, I'm still impress by the amount of work achieved in a month (once again)

Some great stuff in this update, wow.

QUESTION: Do I need to start over or can I continue with my 0.7.146 save, what would be best? And will mods still work?

This June Build update has LOTS of fixes to any sort of thieving style with lock levels etc. Plus Guards able to even react to Interior Door bashing or thievery, going to make it a lot more exciting, wow. Fixes to some core problems well known in original Daggerfall, such as Paralyzed Enemies can't attack now, and no resist to cast on self as well. These are core fixes of great importance. Having the effects be able to affect attributes and chance to hit, very cool. Reseeding of random before loot piles, I could already notice this was needed from my several hours of playing. Potions no longer saying Unknown -- oh yes.

Incredible progress in one month, really outstanding. Great work by the Team. Wow, I'm stunned.

Your save carries over. Mods should still work.

@ Jay_H

Thanks for the info. Should I just unpack the new Build and overwrite the old DFU extraction, or should I just rebuild the whole thing then apply the mods and quests, then the save.

Sorry to ask such basic questions. I'd guess if there wasn't anything removed, an overwrite is okay. Quests are just in Streaming Assets anyway.

One good thing, is that by asking these questions, I learn and won't have to ask them again.
