What exactly are the restorations to the Protean warform?

Quite early during doing the patches I replaced the Protean 4 and 5 claws with normal claws plus stat bonuses because they were missing the cool graphical clawing effect. I recently discovered how to add that to those claws themselves and thus restored them for the basic patch with their original stats. I also fixed all claw attacks not being able to perform combinations because the enemy was pushed too far away for the second attack to hit.

What's the difference between Voerman and Wesp's versions of the patches?

Voerman is only doing the German translations of my patch, but many thanks to him for doing so!

[Resheph606]

Still, I respect your work Wesp, and hope you'll dig everything that's still hidden in this game out

[Sir Twist]

If I remember right, there's not much more to dig out, but I can be wrong here. There are, still, a few tweaks, though, to dialogue, but I think those will come as things progress. Overall, a great patch. And one the no one should go without.

Hi Wesp, thanks for all the wonderful work you have done with this game .
I thought that this gangrel' power was truly underpowered, and when I installed patch 6.0 I saw your changes and I was glad about it.
Anyway, I should ask you a question about protean, have you changed is power stats to be more powerful, or now is like the unpatched game?
Thanks for attention

As a matter of fact I've just started to go trough the game files looking for unused textures and found quite a lot of cool signs and similar, e.g. from the cut library level. I will try to restore them for the 6.6 version!

With the basic patch it's like in the original game, with the plus patch you get boosted stats to compensate for keeping the first level claws, because I needed the higher ones to restore unused quest items!

a friend of mine is playing this game for the first time..and he's experienced a crash at hollowbrok hotel(character=toreador male if it matters)(he has official patch + 6.5 unofficial installed). i don't know if this is caused by the unofficial patch but just thought to let you know in case someone experiences such a crash.

Thanks Wesp5 for the reply, may you write there what are the stats differences between basic and plus?
