'¢ Old Joe now has a custom look.

'¢ Tweaked skill/combat settings for the three new npcs. They should be more balanced and better overall.
'¢ Kitsune should now aid the player in lockpicking needs, much like Myron and Vic help with science and repair.
Bug Fixes:
In addition to numerous undocumented bug fixes, the following issues were addressed:
Abbey
-----
'¢ Fixed issue where Brother Jason would not appear at Gecko when you escort him there.
'¢ Corrected swapped dialogue options when buying mutant armor for Marcus.
'¢ Added dialogue when returning the book to the Abbot, having not been given the quest yet.
'¢ Party members use correct talking head background when in the caves.
'¢ Dialogue screen no longer comes up when using an item from the inventory on the water pump - would cause overlapping windows.
'¢ Monks in the basement no longer wander to a corner and stay there forever.
Arroyo
------
'¢ Removed added Broc flowers and Xander roots from the hunting grounds. These were accidently included in the enhanced maps and were bugged.
'¢ Rugs have been tweaked for better appearance (look more worn, older, etc) and no longer interfere with NPC interaction. This change also takes affect in any other location that uses these rugs.
Broken Hills
------------
'¢ Fixed crash when showing Francis the letter.
'¢ Fixed problem where you were only able to tell Marcus about finding the tunnels, despite having discovered the bodies of the missing people.
'¢ Marcus no longer joins your party without completing any quests for him (debug script was accidently left in place in 2.0 release).
'¢ Chad's door now correctly displays a message when you try to blow it up, etc.
Den
---
'¢ Fixed severe lag issue in the Den. (Was the result of a scripting bug with Petey).

'¢ Tweaked scrolling on the Residential map so that the westernmost corner of the squatter house is not off the map.
'¢ Walking away from the second part of the gang fight now marks it as failed. However, like it was in the vanilla version of the game, walking away from the first part successfully completes the quest. You will be unable to do the second part though.
'¢ Little Johnny is now known as Little Bobby (to reduce confusion with the little boy named Jonny in Modoc)
'¢ Fixed a bug that prevented some dialogue with Little Bobby to not be shown.
'¢ Vic no longer joins your party without completing any quests for him (debug script was accidently left in place).
'¢ Corrected problem where the slavers would not run off the map and instead huddle up in one area. Was the result of changes made with the enhanced maps.

'¢ It was possible that roof tiles would "surround" the player on the green level of the EPA. This will no longer happen.
'¢ Restored the agility serum. It was accidently removed with the enhanced maps.
