Licdom: well my whole reason for doing this is so I can see if their was a patch added that I can get because seems like their are numerous bugs in the game. As a sorcerer/mage some spells don't work.
You mean whether the GOG version had some more fixes than the Steam version? I can safely say that the probability of that is essentially 0. Even if it were the case, it would be a better idea to
ask on the forum first.
I do not immediately see any threads which seem to match your issue, meaning it may not be a bug at all. However, I have not played the game, so I can't say.
There's a thread on the Steam forums which may be related to what you're seeing; if so, it seems to be an intentional part of the game.
Or did you mean that the Steam version might have had bug fixes that the GOG version didn't, so you wanted to try the Steam version instead? I would expect a lot of complaining here if that were the case, and I haven't noticed anything of that sort.
