Hey there
I'm romancing another npc, do I have to be in a romance with aerie for it to start? I've tried the ctrl+I code and it isn't working .

Balanced group?

Hello everyone,
I've just finished my first round of BG:EE and I'm planning to do a new playthrought with more of those new NPC.

Here is the group was thinking of :
Char name : Neutral Fighter ---> War hammer ( Blunt weapon user)
Cleric : Virconia ---> Sling
Melee dps : Dorn --> 2h Sword
Neera : Wmage --> Sling
Imoen : Thief ---> Short bow
Rasaad : Monk --> Katana/ sling user

So, I was wonder, could I beat the entire game? I essentially play with the core rule and increase difficulty for specific fight, like the Iron Throne.
I've heard Rasaad is kinda weak, so this is true, or he can become decent with the right gear?
To give and Idea of what I want to do if the complete the whole game and Kill Semaj, Angelo, Tazok and finish with Sarevok on the final fight.

Any commentary, suggestion?
Thx.

"Specialist" Mages

$
0
0
It really bothers me how specialist mages don't feel one bit specialized. Yesterday, I paid some attention to the spells they have when you pick them up on the levels you meet them at (as opposed to "intentionally dancing around the NPC you want until you reach level x so the NPC will already have spell y").

Edwin has Color Spray (Alteration, known) and Larloch's Minor Drain (Necromancy, memorized) and doesn't know a single Conjuration spell. Dynaheir had Larloch's too, and no Evocation spell. Xzar - what a surprise, Larloch's, but at least, it's his school. (I think Neera had Color Spray and that special Wild Mage spell.)

I wonder if there are any obvious downsides to "put all spells of a school in a specialist's spellbook" that I'm missing. If the so-called specialists already have exclusively spells unrelated to their school memorized, at least put the spells they *should* know in the spellbook. It's not like they could memorize spells above their level, so it makes no difference if Dynaheir knows Fireball at level 1; she can't cast it. It would just feel more specialized and maybe make it more appealing to try out the spells. The scrolls for the high level spells for each school can almost all be found in mid/late game or bought in Baldur's Gate. As far as I'm thinking, it would give no "overpowered" advantage to anyone, just make the pitiful excuses of "mage kits" feel more specialized. What am I overlooking or not considering (and should, before I write a feature request)?

Black Pits: Final Battle & Najim

I tried killing Najim at the end of the game... he has unlimited health. He only takes damage from magic missile, and I lowered his resistance to 0% and unleashed over 350 damage at him but he didn't die. Then I went ahead and used cheats to do 50,000 damage to him and still not dead.

I am a bit confused as to why he has so much health. Yes... I understand that if you kill him you can't "win" but its not like you can do it accidentally. So I would like it if they patched him as an optional boss battle. The beholder was super easy to kill, though with my current party I didn't survive past the flesh golems. I wonder if/when new monsters keep getting added to the battle.

Baldur's Gate Costume Party - Who Would You Be?

The best idea that I have devised. If there was a Baldur's Gate themed costume party, who would you go as and why?

I would go as The Slayer to scare people.

Biscuit to anybody who works out how many people would go as Minsc.

BG2 - Mod Fade?

So I'm not sure if this is even the right website for a bg2 post, but I hope it is lol. I recently downloaded the companion mod fade that is a shadow thief, but for the life of me I cannot find her, could someone who might possibly know direct me to her? I haven't played bg2 yet so specific directions would be great. :D I would appreciate any help, thanks!

Exported my Blackguard to BG2

I exported my blackguard, which I had completed entire BG EE with. I wanted to continue the adventure.
When I started a new single player game, with my character from BG EE. He turned into a simple paladin, but I couldn't use any weapons or armor, except for a quarterstaff.
Is there anyways I can play him as a Blackguard, without any bugs?

Khalid & Jaheira builds

$
0

I just started experimenting running with these 2, who I usually just pass over. I'm curious what route for proficiencies you build them as. I've noticed that if I wait to pick them up until several levels in Khalid will have *** in Longswords and Jaheira will add * in Scimitar (although apparently she can't even use a wakizashi, which I found out today). Anyone build Khalid as more of an archer? If picked up early, he could easily get *** in Longbows by level 6, and given the gloves of DEX would probably do quite well like this. Or do you max him out in Longswords (could get **** by level 6). My natural instinct would be to give Jaheira a second * in sling, at first, and I'm not really sure where to go from there. Maybe sword & shield style or another pip in quarterstaff.

When Irenicus snatch your soul you loose your Bhaalspawn powers.

Should those be back in ToB when you have come back from hell with your restored soul?

I think so. Like if you agree.
Yay or nay?

Face it: everybody likes cheese. And the Faerunians are no different. Yet, you still can't order a plate of your favourite D&D cheese in the taverns along the Sword Coast. So, what kind of cheese would you like to see added by Overhaul in order to enrichen the flavor of taverns, pubs and home cooking in the upcoming BG2:EE?

Cheese for everyone!

What would you like to see after BG2EE is released

$

While we're waiting for BG2EE's release I've been thinking and after? What will happen after the release?

So I made a small list of what I'd like to see after BG2EE

1) Additional content, paid or free, such as new areas or new quests.

2) Expansions, not necessarily as big as the ones we already have, maybe complex adventures would be a better name for them, with multiple quests and new NPCs, not necessarily related to the main quest of the games;

3) Maybe a new modding suite to help the modding scene grow.

4) Continued support with bug fixes

5) Eventually a new isometric RPG, it doesn't even need to have the BG3 name :)

Any other ideas?

BIG THREAD short reviews of mods

I myself played few mods even tried BWP and really enjoyed it but there are some mods that i probably didn't try because there is so much mods for Baldur's Gate that it is really hard to know each mod. That is the main reason for this thread.

we can divers in 2 ways
BG:EE mods and old BG1/2/tutu/BGT mods

for example

old BG1/2/tutu/BGT mods
SCSII:
great mod for improving AI and other aspects of tactical combat with enemies in baldur's gate especially mages


old BG1/2/tutu/BGT mods
TACTICS:
many great TACTICAL improved encounters/enemies in BG2 with really hard combat (at least for new players) but sometimes can be a little cheesy ;)

A question for carsomyr in baldur's gate 2

$

Hi, I was wondering if anyone might know where I could find a tweak I could download for the two handed blade, Carsomyr, in Baldur's Gate 2.

I'm running a solo fighter through the game (one that I took through baldur's gate 1 and imported into Baldur's gate II: SoA), and he specializes in using two handed swords. Carsomyr would be the best choice for my guy, but because he's not a paladin, he can't use it. So I was wondering if anyone knew of something I could download that would let me remove the "paladin only" restriction, so that my fighter can equip Carsomyr.

Is SCS being integrated into BGEE and BG2EE?

I heard the news that the developer of SCS @DavidW is now employed by BeamDog. If true this is great news: it honors great work by a venerable community member and it also shows that BeamDog takes the community (and AI development) seriously.

Could we expect that SCS will be integrated directly into BGEE and BG2EE then? (As I understand the current beta of SCS for BGEE remains un-updated for several months now.)

If this is the case it is probably an instant sale for BG2EE for many of us old veterans.

Sooo, have I missed something or have there been no patches since February?

On choosing a main character

Hey all!

I tried asking this on my 'team building' topic, but didn't get any responses to it.... (so sad!) so I figured I'd try making another topic, see if that helps any. As the topic says, I am trying to come up with ideas for my main char, but having issues. I've only played BG1, and I'm not familiar with a lot of the new BG2 stuff. That said, I don't know if I'm going to play BG2 yet, as it kind of of worries me lol. I won't discuss that here, as i already made that topic. Point is, I'm trying to make a good, neutral, and evil aligned teams, and need three mc's.


Good MC: My team will likely be Imoen, Ajantic, Mincs, Dynaheir, and TBA. I am going to play a healer type. Only I can't decide if I should be a pure dwarf cleric, a dual classed human fighter/cleric, or a elven ranger/cleric lol. I think the ranger cleric is only useful in BG2 where the higher level spell kick in, and don't know if it will do more harm then good in BG1. I've heard the fight/cleric is rated highly, but not so sure why. I like the idea of a dwarf cleric as getting a 20 con would mean my healer doesn't need healing for the most part. Thoughts?


Neutral MC: Team will likely be Jaheira, Xan, Branwen, Safana, and TBA. I'm thinking a fighter here. I was thinking a half orc pure fighter, but here lots of good about the kensai kit. I just can't imagine how losing missile weapons, armor, and bracers can still be a useful class. Ideas?


Evil MC: Most room for change in this party, but I'm thinking Edwin, Vicona, and Shar-Teel as my core, rest still open. I'm thinking a thief type for this party. I was thinking a halfing pure thief to easily max out my thief skills, but seems everyone suggests being a human to dual class later. For a pure thief, I keep going back and forth on assassin and swashbuckler, as both sound interesting. Suggestions?


Any help is appreciated!







Level to Duel Imoen?

$
0

I'm wanting to duel Imoen for the first time that I've ever run a dueled character, using her as my mage. I want her to be able to handle all traps/locks by the time she gets her thief skills back. At sixth level she can have 100% traps and 85% locks, which I figure is probably enough, as it seems very few locks cannot be picked with 85%, and those of which she can cast Knock or simply drink a Perception Potion to get 'er done. I haven't put any points in stealth skills for her this time around, as she makes for a very poor backstabber compared to my Charname Stalker who has a 18/56 STR and a much better THACO. It doesn't seem worth it to take her to 7th level as thief, just for the remaining 15% locks she could top off, as that seems like it will take significantly longer for her to get her thief skills back.

Whaddaya tink professional duelers?
