Here's the latest from the DTU team.

1.  Whats going on with the patch?
* ALOT of A.I. work
* Physics problems
* Script tweaks
* Spell tweaks
* Save game issues
     
Plus a lot of other bugs that we are evaluating and testing per what 
you guys have found.
     
2.  When will the patch be released? 
We don't know yet.  We are working on all the major bugs and trying 
to evaluate a lot of other bugs that you guys have found.  We are also

working on tweaking some gameplay issues to make the game better.
     
3.  Why are there so many bugs? 
To be blantently honest?  The game was rushed out.  Interplay had 
given the team a certain amount of time to get the game out and we did

what we could to make sure the game was as stable as possible.  This 
doesn't justify the condition the game shipped in, but were doing 
everything we can to amend the game.  This is not an excuse but a 
honest statement to a very tough situation.
     
4.  Is this a reflection of all Interplay games?
Definately not.  Different teams encounter different problems and 
unforunately, our team encountered everything that could possibly go 
wrong.  Games such as Fallout were developed in house at Interplay and

they reflect the best of what we can offer.
