I've seen the Unofficial Patch. I'm guessing by how prevalent it is it's the preferred way to play the game.

Is there anything else I *should* do? I know a lot of these, "older" games need a little bit of help running on modern systems. More than once I've been turned off a game by having to restart a playthrough half-way because I actually needed to install a third party client or else the game can't load the second half or some other such poor luck.

The Unofficial Patch is what allows you to run the game on a modern machine. When you run the installer it will give you a choice for either basic or plus patch. Basic fixed most of the bugs and gives you pretty much the vanilla experience. Plus adds some content that never made it into the original game. Be sure to read the readme file provided with the patch.

Here is a guide: https://youtu.be/WNx_N8CIbts

To run through steam add to start options: -game Unofficial_Patch

It should work fine. If it fails, Steam Guide time.

Play as whichever one you want. You'll need to remember things in the game, maybe use a notebook if you have a bad memory.

Already regretting not keeping notes. I was like "Oh yeah I can keep that info in my brain" but it turns out she's looser than fat man's elastic waistband.

Question for folks here, I investigated the murder on the docks the first day and the journal says, "You didn't find anything important" but I did because I saw a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ werewolf howling over the pier. Did I miss evidence or someone I was supposed to talk I wandered around and didn't find anything and it suddenly updated the quest status to saying I hadn't. I'm just now thinking, maybe if I had higher investigation?

The "werewolf" will reveal itself later to you.

How's the notebook doing? Recommend sectioning it out. Also, you can go back and look at your emails / computer thingd later, something to note.
