Yes - the quick respawn of a just exited area is new. And somewhat problematic sometimes, but not always. It does make you be careful when you go through previously emptied areas...
I have to say close but no cigar... It is awesome that customer feedback is considered but it's like it was a rush job to get us off your back... You should consult the original more... The qoute goes by so fast you hardly have any time to read it and the font is a bit too big for it's own good... And as mentioned before the pleading goes a bit too fast making it seem sorta funny... which is wrong...
Anyway I'm just letting you know that there is no need to rush things and it is good to take some time to figure out what makes things right.
And I also wanted to report something I did not notice reported before... in previous versions there where some errors with item sketches not showing up. Like so: Just wondering if it was adressed or not.
They added a Scroll case. That's nice. Would be cool though if the issue with the Journal woud be fixed. It still doesn't support mouse wheel, and if you click drag it to scroll manually, it will get to edit mode which is annoying. One small text mistake still remains. Description of two handed style in character creation is wrong. double crit is gained with two points spent not one. There are a lot other bugs still remaining but anyway, nice to see the support so far, I appreciate that
awesome patch! one problem, the intro movie in my opinion is still pretty terrible, it doesn't capture the scarey atmosphere of the original opening movie and the way the characters are drawn don't have a sense of depth, when I watch it I feel like it is warped and stretched and too flat. The dubbed in extra dialogue of "there are others, I can show you, please!" sounds even more out of place. But the patch is great for all the other added goodies keep up the good work.

If you have 1 profiency point in two-handed weapon style in game you will get critical hits if you roll a 19 or 20 (not counting the bonuses you get from other things). So with 1 proficiency point in it if a roll says in game "attack roll 19+4 = 23" that counts as a critical hit, but 18+4 = 22 wouldn't. Point is the current description is correct, at least in terms of how the game operates.
@hansolo Regarding the journal entering edit mode, if you move the mouse so that it isn't over the journal when you release the mouse button, it wont try to edit the entry, and you can continue to scroll with the button depressed.
There are still four unfixed bugs (which are quite annoying) The journal entries are still not being moved over from Active to Done (Branwen, Prism and Murder most Fowl.) Scrolling in the journal still works like a bad version of Wordpad. Moving certain objects (like arrows, bows, halbards) leaves a trail of these objects all over the screen.
Has the CHARNAME and Imoen not getting fatigued bug been sorted?
I gotta disagree with your opinion on this one - I doubt anything I could say would change yours, either, so, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
The original movie, to me, looks janky and weird now. The new movies, I think, capture the atmosphere a little better (though are far from perfect) for anyone that's new to the series. And personally I love the art, but, hey - that part's subjective.
I know that this is the internet but i will never understand why people make fun of other's problems while having nothing constructive to add.
Yes the post was whiny, but i couldn't hold inside my frustration when after all these patches i see fixes like item tweaking while this bug is preventing me from acessing a new game feature thus making me wait for a fix before continuing my playthrough...Truth be told the devs can't please everybody so i'm happy for you that the intro quote is back
I think the art work drawn for the cut scenes of the chapters are great! don't get me wrong. but the intro movie does not capture Sarevok as good as the original. In the original if you watch it, not only do you get more talking, and a longer drawn out scene but you get to see his body language, though badly animated compared to modern techniques you really get a sense of his pure evilness and you get the helplessness of the soldier. especially when he squints as he watches the soldiers throat crack and gurgle blood.
I find the new intro movie though drawn pretty well, just doesn't capture that aspect of sarevok as it is so short and has no narrative. just a dark figure stands and laughs and crushes a neck of a man. There is no build up. If you watch them both side by side you will really get what I mean.
Edit: Now that I come to think about it, in the the new intro the soldier doesn't look frightened, there is no sense of being chased up the tower, there is no struggle.
Still hasn't been added. Tanthalas confirmed that he'd bring it up on the internal bug tracker, so at least we know it's being looked at. He also said that it would drop from Tazok in the next patch, but hopefully that was a joke. Guess we'll wait and see.
Please. Opinion about the way a piece of art looks is typically subjective for everyone. There are some things that I don't agree with about the way the movie flows, but, I'm not a video editor/animator - I'm an audio designer - and I didn't have much input on how that went. I've said before, if money were no object I would've made a case to the others to contract Blur to take care of the movie re-makes, but as a tiny company that we are, we worked with what we had and I believe it turned out decently.
If you want to talk about biased, one could argue that anyone claiming the original movies are better is biased due to their polished memories of how the originals made them feel. :P

I was only teasing T.T
I really do like the new art, and while I have certain nitpicks overall I do like the cutscenes.

Hope it makes it into the next patch, will make bards and evil fighter/mages (who can't access the evil Robes of Archmagi until very late, unlike the neutral and good ones) much more viable to play

I like the new movie art style in general personally, especially resting in the wild movie looks very pretty. That being said I do wish they were bit higher quality, ie. more actually animations in them and of course still more of them.
As for the revamped intro I really appreciate the effort, but it could still use bit improvement. IMO the Nietzsche quote would look better with bit smaller font and in the middle of the screen and of course the added sentence is played at too high speed.
@Tanthalas To be precise, Greater Wolfweres can be hit by weapons flagged as silver, not cold iron. Prior to the enhanced edition, this distinction was meaningless, as only flagged cold iron weapons were flagged as silver. However:
Simmeon drops Albruin+1, flagged as silver but not cold iron, and it is effective vs. Greater Wolfweres. Tested by me against SHWOLF.cre, WOLFGR01.cre, and WOLFWEGR.cre, and effective against all. WOLFWEGR is fought aboard the shipwreck.
Good to know because that means there is one more weapon usable against the GWW, though it is in a well-represented proficiency.

Forgot to mention. IMMUNE1.itm also makes them immune to non-magical, so a hypothetical silver, non-magical weapon couldn't damage them. RINGWOLF.itm makes them immune to non-silver.

@Nukenin I got around to testing it.
Are you still fixing the zoom so it doesn't reset everytime I change screens?
