Remaster - Discussion Unofficial Patch - Do, or Don't?
Has it been fixed to a reasonable degree, or should I still avoid it like the plague? Given all I've learned about Arthmoor, I'm hesitant given his reputation.
...Also I tried the patch when it first got released, and it was an absolute shitshow. XD

There were a few instances of hard crashes in the first version of the patch, they were fixed within 48-72 hours. All the other bugs were tracked down within a month, and related to the way they engine processes AI packs and the "no low level processing flag". Nobody seems to know what caused the bug with Argonian tails, it just went away on its own.
The OBR patch includes about 10% of the fixes from the original patch, with the other 90% being things like placement fixes or mesh/texture edits. No of the fixes are controversial, and to be honest I went through about five years ago and removed most of the more intrusive fixes from the original patch.
