question to dagger of speed backstab enjoyers: is backstab dmg affected by 20 str bonuses? Do you deal more dmg as 20str race or halfling with his extra speed and crit chance?

Have long since forgotten what the exact bonus to critical chance Back Stab Mastery confers to aware and unaware opponents, suppose it would depend on whether or not that 5% bonus could guarantee criticals to make up for that lack of 20 str bonus damage.

Dont pump str on backstabber, use dagger of speed. Also max Melee so you can hit reliably + prowling master. Early on without prowling dmg will be lower but still good enough (move behind enemy back and hit him).

A question: I installed the game a couple of months ago, but didnt worked on recent Windows 10 version. Does this patch fixes such problems, or maybe should I use Wine in Linux and see what happens?

Install the High Resolution Patch.
See if it works then.

Replaying Arcanum with UAP, I noticed two things I hadn't seen before: A book to levelup followers to the PC's level and ability to select their leveling scheme. Are these changes from the UAP or the last official patch? TIA

They are both things you had to select when installing UAP...
I tried reinstalling just to check, there's no such choice in 2.0.2. Anyway I just asked because I like playing as close to vanilla as possible.

I see the thread title popping up and everytime for a moment I'm excited there's a new update to the patch.
So what happened to Drog anyways, anyone has some info?

I didn't know about the levelling schemes. That's interesting. How exactly does it work? I think I tried it a couple of times, but couldn't get it to work properly.
The levelling book is pretty nice, as it allows followers who are lagging behind you in levels catch up to you.

I only tried the 'no scheme' setting and it let me assign points manually. I feel it makes things a bit too easy, having optimized followers especially early on which imho is the harder part of the game.

I joined this forum just to ask: Does Drog's patch change the way custom portraits work? I tried doing it the old way, but it doesn't seem to work or I'm to stupid to get it to work. Any knowers?
