Again, great work, Wesp! Could you explain the reasoning behind Toreador & Ventrue stat bonuses removal?

It's actually to make the game closer to how it was released. Originally I figured that both clans have no real advantages, but after adding Presence in it occurred to me that having Toreador use it more than others like Ventrue with Dominate should be advantage enough...

If you are playing the plus version of the patch Fat Larry has been moved to the alley besides Confession where he was in the demos of the game and where his truck and his dialogue fit much better than in the bright light directly besides Venture Tower and in full sight of a security guard.

You know, I never really messed with the Presence dialog options much. Are there more opportunities for Presence dialog with this patch? Similar to the level available for Ventrue with Dominate dialog options?

Yes, there is Presence in the Plus Patch now, but it is not as versatile as Dominate so the Ventrue keep their advantage.
