Latest patch - just downloaded it. What do you think?

Hello!

Just downloaded the latest patch. Think it was released today or yeasterday. However, seems to be quite nice. Almost a "new game", many new cool efffects. Good job.

What do you other think of it?

Noticed one thing: Specialist mages now gain substantial benefits from their chosen school of magic, e.g. + 2 save vs the school aswell as enemies gain -2 on their saves (+ alot more).

I'm really liking it as well. One thing I do miss though is the parchment scroll unrolling to display things, now it's just a soulless black box. That's really my only complaint with it.

What? Why would they do that?

If I'm understanding right, that means whenever you hover over a party member portrait, a soulless black box displays the name and hit points instead of the neat little scroll unrolling with the sound effect?

Yeah the update is fantastic work - the parchment scroll is one of the very few things that's a negative

I thought I read somewhere that the scroll icons didn't scale very well with different resolutions and it would give visual errors with the 2.0 framework. I am not 100% sure if that was the reason though.

Hmm... so... I just reloaded my game and I try to level up with Khalid in BG 1: EE... However, he gains like 24 extra hp on level up?? What the heck?? That shouldn't be able shouldn't it?

Oh, nevermind. I just figured it out.... Somehow, two characters of which I picked up early game and then dumped to pick them up lategame again gained alot of experiance after the patch. Most likely to gain levels according to the main character. Hmm... Strange

They've always had that, the descriptions just didn't mention it. Someone figured it out a couple of months ago (I think it was Elminster). They also get +15% to scribe scrolls of their own school and -15% for all other scrolls.

Oh just noticed: You cannot create a transmuter in Throne of Bhaal due to the new effects during creation scene. One must chose 1 spell of his school before start, however, you cannot come past level 5 spells since there are no alteration spells on that level.
