Players Cry Foul as Patch 1.5 Alters Game Mechanics

In a shocking turn of events for fans of *Wuchang: Fallen Feathers*, a dedicated modder has swiftly addressed the outcry over the latest Patch 1.5 changes that have left many players feeling frustrated. What were once targetable and killable NPCs have now become untouchable, severely impacting the game’s unique "madness" mechanic.

Previously, players could engage with certain passive NPCs and choose to eliminate them, affecting their character’s state. Sadly, with this patch, that option has vanished; players can no longer kill even boss enemies, who must now be 'exhausted' into submission. This shift has not gone unnoticed, prompting a wave of dissatisfaction across Steam's forums.

A Modder's Quick Fix: Rolling Back the Changes

Just days after the contentious update, a modder rolled out a solution, offering players the chance to revert to the beloved version 1.4.1. In their words, "Wuchang 1.5 massively downgrades the game experience. Most late-game bosses, NPCs, and enemies now just banter instead of providing story-driven dialogue that enriched the original game." The modder emphasized that the latest changes have stripped away critical elements of story and immersion.

A Complex Solution for Passionate Gamers

The mod itself is labeled as "fairly complex" since it modifies various game files. While it restores the narrative choices, it also rolls back some quality-of-life improvements from Patch 1.5. To help those players who crave the narrative without sacrificing the enhancements, the modder points to additional mods like Fast Vertical Traversal and Improved Recovery.
