Black & White 2 Patch

October 8, 2005 7:56 AM

Lionhead has released the Black & White 2 patch, updating the game to v1.1 and fixing several game and balancing issues. The patch unfortunately isn't save-game compatible with the original 1.0 release.

Anyone playing this? How is it?

How much baby sitting do you need to do with your pet?

  your pet seems to be much more intellegent this time around.. you do need to babysit him a little at first though just so you can teach him whats good/bad. But after that they do pretty well.
  
  You can also just give him a task such as a fighter, builder, entertainer, ect.. but those tasks cause the creature to lose his free will.

  Not bad so far. It's got plenty of minor things wrong (such as what seems to be a bit of mouse-lag, and maybe the advisor banter isn't quite as funny as it used to be) but I'm enjoying building up cities, and my pet doesn't seem quite as utterly hopeless so far.

      Now that I read this thread I think im going to have to buy it... I liked the idea and concept of the first one; but with all the stupid issues and having to constantly babysit my pet, I couldn't bare it.
      I hate you

        I am still going to hold off for a while (mainly due to all the crap going on in my life right now) .... but if I find it for $30 or $20 then I might impulse on it.

  I just started it this afternoon; after about three hours of playing, I'm very happily surprised. Seems like a lot of my issues with the first game have been fixed, and the added amount of base-building really makes building a fairly massive town/village a lot of fun.
