Will the upcoming patch for BG:EE affect your decision on buying BG2:EE?

$

Hello everybody,

some of you have already decided
if they are going to buy BG2:EE or not.

The question is:
If you have already made up your mind on buying or
not buying it, might the upcoming patch for BG:EE change that decision?

If you have not decided yet on buying or not buying
BG2:EE, do you think the patch will play a significant role on that decision?

This poll is NOT about whether you are going to buy BG2:EE or not, but rather
what kind of influence the patch for BG:EE may have on that decision.

THIS POLL IS ANONYMOUS. OTHERS WILL NOT SEE WHAT YOU VOTED FOR

Feel free to justify your vote or leave a comment on this subject, if you'd like to.

powergaming party (BG2 TOB,NPC and multiplayer)

What is the most powergaming party that you can think of?

two different groups of posts
1) multiplayer created party by player. What classes/races (and items)
2) charname + npc's. What npc's
-this is not 1 vs 2 but creating 2 different threads for 1 purpose is silly
-bg2 tob exp limit
-no mods

and why is this the most powergaming?


for example
F/M/T half-elf - like kensai mage but +100dmg with backstab
Kensai13/Mage - i think everyone know why kensai/mage
cleric/specjalist mage - healer who is almost immortal
mage slayer13/mage - antimage
edwin - most spells

npc's
F/M/T op op
sarevok dualed to mage op
edwin - op op op
aerie - op multi
keldorn - op dispell
Cernd - SS f yeah

like you can see I prefer magic :)

It's the little details...

One of the most impressive things about BG 1&2 is the level of detail in every area. Balduran's butterknife is amazing. Of course he had to eat with something!

My favorite was the roof of the iron throne building, with the reference to the intro movie.
[spoiler] repairs made on the broken railing where Sarevok killed the bhaalspawn [/spoiler]

It's little things like that that make the difference. Is there anything in the dialogue or scenery that you found impressive?

weird bug in BG2 -- cult of the eyeless quest

so i was doing the CotE quest and finally assembled the rift device but was killed instantly by the Unseeing Eye. so i reloaded, retrieved the second piece again, then quick-saved and was killed again.

so i reloaded my quick-save and now the Unseeing Eye won't appear .. i've tried wandering around the map, sleeping etc., but to no avail. my back-up save is from before i descended, so i'd rather not do the whole thing over again, and when i tried to talk to Sassar he still remarks that I need to kill the monster.

is there anyway I can bypass the quest and obtain the reward (possibly with cheats)?

In the original BG2, of course, the at-will invisibility doesn't work without the fixpack mod.

Do you think they'll fix it for BG2:EE, and if so, will there be any reason to play a Shadowdancer once you get HLAs?

BG2:EE's introduction of Dorn, Neera and Rasaad *Spoilers*

Hi,

I don't know if any information is available on this already, but I would love to speculate on how the new NPCs are introduced in BG2:EE.

Especially I'm curious about Dorn. Seeing as he was left to die in a dungeon by his former comrades, I'm thinking it would have a fitting ring to it if he did the same to CHARNAME to avoid being trapped in Irenicus' dungeon.

Rasaad would probably need a pretty good reason to return to Athkatla given his past there, I think.

When it comes to Neera she should definitely be hunted by the Cowled Wizards as well as the reds.

Ideas? Opinions?

How Do I Import My Game?

For the love of God, I feel like an idiot.

I've been using computers since the late 80's. Why is it that I can't figure out where the file needs to go so I can import my game in BG2:EE? It didn't automatically show up, so I went looking and... I can't figure out this weird Beamdog directory. I don't even know if I'm looking the right place. I am so frustrated with Windows 8 I can hardly type straight, and this is really irritating me. I have no idea what I'm looking at or where BG2:EE is installed.

I think that those few of us that actually enjoy Aeries romance and prefer it over Viconia or Jaheira need a support group, because how can something so wrong, whiney and annoying possibly be attractive?

I think we need a new selection at character creation

I realize that we are a progressive society now and we are tolerant of all lifestyles. However, In my world, I did not expect Dorn to tell me that he is attracted to me after we had a sparing match. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I turned him down ending the romance option I hope. Look, I played BG:EE and there was no indication that Dorn was attracted to men...I was pretty sure that he was attracted to/slept with the necromancy chick. I don't care one way or the other if he is gay...only that he is there to cover my back. I believe the romance options should coincide with each persons individual beliefs. At this point I believe beamdog needs to add a hetero/homo selection at character creation to tailor the game to each individual player.

Neera miniquests (BGII:EE SPOILERS)

I find myself a little annoyed here. I went around the whole camp and picked up every quest, including of course the main one from Telana. Two of them lead me to the Bridge District? Great, let's go there first. Get the hairband, get the wild mage. Except when you get the blue elf, the camp gets zapped. I've now taken care of the enclave, and what's next?

The girl who wanted the hairband is gone. What's more, the quest is gone from my journal. The guy who crafts talismans is still here, but I still need another diamond. His quest too is gone, and when I talk to him we don't seem to want to discuss the topic at all. The dwarf who wanted a drink from Trademeet, gone; quest, gone. Were these quests only for players allergic to logistics, or am I missing something here?

Girdle of XX STR on kensai/mage?

$

Hey guys,

I am making a mage that I intend to dual-class to Kensai later. STR is an advantage for the Kensai, but not so much the mage aside from being able to carry more.

If I use a girdle to get STR, can I save points in STR when I create the character? Lets say 12 instead of the 18 I would otherwise get.

Hope you can help me out :)

I'm going to try a fighter dualled to shadowdancer (using the editor) and I'd like to have him be playable throughout. What I'm trying to figure out is how strong I can get him before he has to take over thieving when Imoen duals to mage....

New areas from new NPCs Neera, Rasaad...Dorn????

Hello,
I am running through EE in the way I normally did BG, with no NPC usage (this time I am duoing, 2 characters using multiplayer)...

I just realized that these new fandangled NPCs bring with them new areas and contents 'up to 4 hours of gameplay'...

Questions~
Is it really 4 hours worth of new content?
Can I access these areas/adventures without the NPCs in my party?
I don't want any spoilers per se, but....how soon/at what chapter/level should I take on these side quests?

My thought is to try to complete these areas without the NPCs, but if I have to have them in my party, I figure, snag them up, complete the content, then dump them.

If this new content is any kind of good so etc. then all the bugs and stuff will be worth it.

Help! Immoen cannot cast any spells

I'm in Irenicus' dungeon and Immoen can't cast any spells. She has them memorized but when I click on the icon to cast them they are all greyed out. Is this part of the game (she is so distraught in the dungeon she can't cast) or is this a bug?

Thanks for any insight.
