This gets broken and unbroken every other update (as of 0.9.075-PUBLIC#3987, it's broken). It's small, but I figured I'd make a post about since it's something I quite like.
The player's portrait won't update during combat. There are only a handful of enemies that can make changes to Steele in the midst of combat (Nym-Foe's injections, the Tentacle Plant's facefucking, and the Zaika Hydra's new facefuck are all that I know of, the latter two inflating the player's belly), but the portrait doesn't update during combat. It does after, though.
Notice how Nym-Foe has injected Steele (quite a lot, actually, this is turn 27), but the portrait is still unchanged.
And then after the combat finishes:
I know for a fact it used to change mid-combat.
