    I went to the downloads section and saw a number of community made patches, but i don't know what order I should install them in, or if it makes any difference. I'm going to install the last official one first, but after that...

    -OR-
    1. Official 1.7.0.4 patch
    2. rroyo's A:WIP
    3. Hi-Res patch

    I would do the UAP first, though, for at least one play through. Then do a clean install and to the A:WIP.

    Some folks would say to do your first run through with just the official patch and experience the buggy pain that is inherent with "I don't care if it's done! Get it out NOW! Damn it!"

    Then play the UAP so you can appreciate all that Drog has done.

    Then play the A:WIP to appreciate all the rroyo has done.

    I actually have completed it (a few times) with the last official patch, but it was ages ago. Strangely enough, the only problem I ever encountered was never seeing that head priest guy, except when going evil. Ah well, it shall be interesting seeing what drog and rroyo have done.

    Just remember that that two do not play well together. It's UAP or A:WIP. Not both.

    Does the UAP also remove the level cap? I went to the link for it http://drog.terra-arcanum.com/uap.html but it said "Not Found"

    Edit: wait I see the level cap remover, but I'm not sure if it can be installed over the high resolution patch, or what it does to save games.

    That is always a 50/50 crap-shoot.
    Sometimes you get lucky.
