Heh, I am no stranger to fixing things by changing then ames of files and folders, sometimes in very peculiar ways. Yeah, memory blocks can be tricky. In earlier Windows editions, they were a reason for random crashes, the so-called "illegal operations" that applications performed for seemingly no reason. So, no surprises here. I recently had troubles with a game that seems to genuinely hate multi-core processors, but I was lucky to find some very old tool (dating back to 2000/2001) that can modify exe files and force them to run in unicore mode, thus resolving the problems I had. The trick is to keep trying - a good fix or workaround always turns up in the end (or at least almost always).

Considering all the strange new creatures it introduces, the mod can easily be called "Zoo" as well :P

It's a really nice cycle - improvements are made, we test them, then more improvements can be made. The mod is alive and growing, even with all the restraints you have to dance around. I suppose Ogre accuracy would affect Shrek as well? The poor sod often ends up unleashing his... ummm, "juice" at walls.

Having some option for distraction would be fine - it contributes to the overall chaos and evens the odds slightly.

I imagined the poison damage more like something with a set duration that wears off on its own (like Hexen's and Half-Life's poison damage), rather than something that needs you to find a medkit, though that is a valid option too (more in line with Daggerfall's poison mechanics). Well, if you can't get it to work, no need to fret about it. It might have caused other problems elsewhere.

Let me tell you one thing about therapists... if you put a space in the right spot, "therapists" become "the rapists". Jokes aside, regardless of how often you meet that person, I seriously doubt they'd get to know you for who you really are. This is something that takes time and persistence (just like the whole "finding yourself" thing). All the therapist can do is collect the data you provide and then try to shove you into some box (a diagnosis or whatever). I find it hard to beluieve you're a narcissist, considering how much you bash yourself. You may appear as such due to being distant and aloof, but this is, again, an issue of people not being able to get to know you for who you really are. It's something like the proverbial Wall made famouse by the Pink Floyd album - a barrier people build up to conceal their emotions and weaknesses. Some people, like you, build up taller and thicker walls, and they usually have a reason for doing so. The unofrtunatre side effect is that people will think you're a narcissist, a menace to society, etc.

In the end of the day, unhealthy individual or not, you are still better company than 95% of my so-called friends :)
