OK, forget that, I know what the patch does.....
And it does some obscure things (like; "Various AI fixes / tweaks (includes boss difficulty, coterie blood
usage, and guard alertness)", and "NOTE: Certain Disciplines may not work properly for a short time after reloading a save game").
So now my question is, is the patch woth installing?
The save anywhere and pause combat option sound great, but the thing with the load is kinda weird, and maybe the AI tweaks are bad... how can I know if they made the coterie dumber? and what if they made the bosses weaker? I like them hard the way they're now. So is the patch worth it?

I'm not using it at the moment, but i had it installed in the past. The option of saving when you want was the most important fix for me, but of course getting stuck behind a carpet or a door was also very annoying, if i recall correctly the patch fixed that as well.

use it

I know that most people who play VTMR singleplayer and multiplayer have installed the patch. I recommend to use it.

For me the main reason is if i wanna play online i dont wanna have compatibilities problems.

Yes but is the AI better?
Did they make the bosses easier?

yes

of course the AI is better. The game is more balanced now ;)

I have heard that before the patch killing Mercurio was very difficult. But now every characters, and enemys balanced.

Trust me, its much better to install the 1.1 patch

Good luck

Why would anyone want the bosses to be easier to defeat ? They're not THAT tough to begin with.

I didn't, I want them to be hard.
And yeah, I suppose that when you got 4 memebers in your party no one's really a challange... so I'd hate it if they made the bosses even easier.

BTW, before the patch Mercurio is insanely tough (I only defeated him because I was lucky enough to have some holy water left. Tossed a 4-5 bottles on him and that was the only way I defeated him), and the patch specifically says they lowered Mercurio's stats, but he's the only boss it says that about him. I guess he's the only one that is really unbalanced.

Thanks everybody
