    Call me an ass, but I think the game is better with the stronger version of Animate Dead. Does anyone know which file to remove from the Override directory to get the original back?

    Animate Dead is overpowered no matter what you do with it. Anyone who can cast that spell can just about solo the game with that spell alone.

    Enemy mages constantly use Banish and Dismissal and they and clerics can also use the more powerful version. Unpatched it may be overpowerful, but patched it becomes rubbish at later stages. I want my Cold Bones back!


    Edited to say:

    Screw it, I only really wanted it back because I only just found out the patch changed it, and I'd been looking forward to decent Animate Deads at later levels. Every time I levelled my mage or cleric I was checking to see what new thing I got, so I thought I must have a bug, then I found it's supposed to be that way. Oh well, I'll fight the dragon some other way.
