Black & White Patch
The long awaited (and overdue) official 1.1 patch for Lionhead’s Black & White has been released. EA has posted a list of changes to read while you download the patch from Wireplay. Here’s some highlights of what’s new…
FIXES
Creature occasionally forgot learnt info when moving between lands.
Creature does not become more evil after being punished for fishing, eating animals or grain.
Creature’s natural desire to eat other villagers has been reduced.
Creature doesn’t become constipated if you punish him for pooing.
Worshippers’ desire for food is now more related to their hunger.
IMPROVEMENTS
Black & White will now allow people to skip the tutorial and/or Creature development section early on Land One if they have played the game already.
If the current profile already has a Creature, or there is more than one profile on the machine when a new game is started then a requester box appears asking if you want to skip the intro.
There are 4 options in this box. The first is to start the game normally. The second is to skip the beginning tutorial and quests and go straight to selecting your Creature. The third is to skip all of the story quests on land one; this means that after selecting your Creature, he automatically gains all initial knowledge, the big Creature Guide doesn’t exist, and the vortex is open. You can of course still spend as much time as you want on this land.
The fourth option is to keep your original Creature. This option is the same as option three, but you don’t select a Creature, and your old Creature remains. If you select the last option and your current profile doesn’t have a Creature then option three is executed instead.
Is that clear? Now get downloading.
