...and can be found at The Patches Scrolls
(http://www.patches-scrolls.de/vampire_bloodlines.php) in both full and
incremental versions.

This time the patch is mostly bug-fixes and tweaks only, without new
restored content besides two context-icons and without major structural
changes besides the added plus patch possibility to experience melee from
the first person perspective albeit without visible weapon models. Thanks
to Offkorn for discovering this, and of course switching to third person
view will show the usual animations. Again the Bloodlines community at
Planet Vampire has to be acknowledged for bug feedback, suggestions and
actual model editing work by MooCHa. Thanks!

v5.3 15.05.2008
----
+Tweaked new stealth rules and made rating visible at Tawni's place.
+Made first person view melee fighting possible, thanks to Offkorn.
+Restored plus conditions for hg firearms, computer and dodge books.
+Made braid raise perception and improved Fu Syndicate test timing.
Fixed blood return and purge and added xp for hacking freezer code.
Removed warehouse bum before cutscene and made tubes not sellable.
Added some idle expressions to Gimble and Jack during the tutorial.
Fixed minor dialogue bugs, a Dane computer issue and version info.
Restored Jeanette scene for females and Larry's quest for everyone.
Prevented surplus CD quest email and corrected Maria dress detail.
Fixed Beckett's scholarship bonus and Pearl item, thanks to MooCHa.
Removed Tzimisce creation burning death and an Empire door handle.
Fixed occasion of Yukie not getting her sword and minor map issues.
Corrected looping conversation and look-through duct at warehouse.
Restored beach house inspection and changed Eldritch Prodigy bonus.
Corrected wrong newspaper icons and restored valve and oven icons.
Replaced sky at the Ocean House hotel to get rid of oversized moon.

Thanks. Do I have to start the game over again with this patch?

If you continue an older saved game after patching strange things may
happen so I would suggest starting from scratch unless your far in.

OK, thanks. I'll never finish this game if you keep patching it so often.

So what was the "Dane computer issue" to be fixed?
Report is the only option I have.

Am enjoying the game as Malk right now. I'll patch after I've finished
that one. (Love how a Malk reacts to the cabbie, knowing it's Caine.
"OMG, it's... it's... YOU!" sort of reaction.)

Well, I like my Tzimisce creations extra crispy,
so I changed it back.

This version cleaned up my Hanna Glazer problem,
and my computer not working after the
Nocturne Theater.

Yes, I know. But nobody is forced to play the game with each new patch ;).
I'm more or less fixing details now that most of you will never notice.
Still three or four hard-core gamers on Planet Vampire play right through
each new release to look for issues and then a new version is ready :)!

They will burn up again in 5.4 too, because after 5.3 it became apparent
that noone really knows what they are supposed to do in the PnP game ;).
