Reinstalled IA 6.5.2/IATweaks 1.02 and playing slowly. Some observations:
Valygar as Vagrant has Charisma 10, but Vagrant requires Char 12.
Remove fear spell is not removing the fear symbol over avatar's head of Cloak of fear.
Simplified Economy: I was clearing the 2nd city area, collecting more than 15k gold and the plot was progressing. It felt a bit fast. But so far i like it a lot!
Enable the hardest versions of XP-based encounters in Chapters 2&3: Somehow i was expecting to get also the hardest Vanilla encounters. But no Bone Golem/2nd rune assassin in Skinner quest on 3rd floor.
