just remember WHY they released the patch in the first place. remember the stink it caused? it would auto-install on your C drive, and, in substantiated instances, erased integral window's files from your drive.
even with the patch to correct that awful problem and subsequent patches, nothing can change the fact that the dungeons are dreary and uninspiring, the monsters are repetitive and not challenging, and the game looks and plays exactly the way you'd think it would after running thru 3 different developers (all of whom had no real focus on the game, but spent more time correcting what the previous developer did).
save your money. you'll only rip your eyes out in frustration.
