Is there any news on if or when the patch to bring D2ED up to date with DKS will be downloadable? I am holding off starting a new game since I heard it will make the saves incompatible.

I saw this same questions asked in the German forums but thought I would ask here in the English.

My understanding was that FoV is supposed to do this, although I've seen a couple of comments suggesting that it's not the case, which has left me feeling rather confused. Certainly there are some differences between ED as it was and ED+FoV, both visual and in terms of gameplay, but there's at least one difference between it and DKS which is that old saves still load quite happily, for example.

Perhaps somebody who knows what the differences are (or aren't) would like to add something...

(And I know it's an old thread, but I was looking for the same information myself!)

There will be a separate patch, FOV just applies the cosmetic changes for the most part.

I've noticed a few gameplay changes as well as the cosmetic stuff: notably that it's no longer impossibly difficult (well, for those of us who are rubbish at combat) and a few tweaks such as being locked out of the Williams quest until the appropriate part of the game; also one or two places that may be new, though it may simply be that I never noticed them first time round.

So I am curious as to what I'm missing out on, but since I've just asked the same thing in another topic on the DKS subforum maybe I shouldn't be prattling away about it here too...
