I'm not going to be at my PC for a few hours. Anyone with the patch installed can you clarify what was changed with the attribute tooltips?

I am assuming the note about Vit and Will effecting HP and Energy on level up was the issue and they do not effect HP or Energy on level up. Since there is not bullet point about that.

That's correct. The level up -bit in the description was left there by mistake.

Thanks I sort of figured that was the case.

- buckler's evasion (does not apply to old save games)

Does this mean that if I started a game already I can not get bonuses from picking up the buckler and equipping it? This is the wrist piece?

I think you'll still get the bonus for equipping it in the wrist slot. However, if you keep it in your hand, you won't get a bonus.

Nice patch. Would love to see something added to change the portrait and/or names of your characters after staring the adventure.

Bummer Vitality and Willpower don't have longer-term impacts on the game. It creates a cool balance between getting a large bonus now (selecting Tough or Aura) versus a bigger payoff over time (by selecting Healthy or Strong Mind). Now the only reason to get Vitality or Willpower directly will be for the small resistance bonuses change (and Vitality is losing one).

Seems like the attribute bonuses for Willpower and Vitality should increase more to +3 and/or the direct bonuses decrease (maybe from 20 to 15) to balance this differential.

Would be great if you could release the beta-patch for the GOG-version, too!

Is the higher regeneration rate change in yet?
