    thanks for replying. How ever, these instructions arent all that clear. If you have done the process to apply the patch, can you explain it to me in more detail?

    What exactly are you having trouble with? The instructions can't get much clearer than that.

    I hope you're not asking for help figuring out Windows Explorer.

    The mes file goes into arcanum/data/rules folder and you must make the rules folder and move the .mes file manually. The new arcanum.exe file replaces the old one. Thats why you should rename the old arcanum.exe to arcanum.old. Warning: In folder options enable to see extensions or you wont be able to rename the extension of arcanum.

    you are quite right, i dont like the little bastard. Just because you kill a few people to rob them when you dont have a high skill level in the begining. oh well, I just started a new game with the 127 patch, its going much better and Im going to use the charm spell to keep everyone happy

    Yes. You could also set the game difficulty to Easy.

    If you have changed the minimum xp for any level you're currently on or above, I belive so yes, but I'm not sure as I haven't used the patch myself.
