hitpoints at level up

Hi Guys, is the hitpoint at Level up System bugged? I was used to different results when you reload a Level up, now im getting always the same amount (which is mostly 1 or 2 hitpoints, max 3 for my barbarian?). Could this be connected to playing on hard not core rules? Seems kinda broken to me..

Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition playthrough begins, using same character as the first playthrough

I'm so excited, BG2 is solidly in my top 3 games of all time and so far it seems like the changes have improved quite a bit! You might have crossed paths with my playthrough of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition which I started last year, when I was just starting out on YouTube, so I hope you'll appreciate the improvement in quality since then!

Using the same bg2tweaks as before, will be exploring all of the new content, and my main character is a Kensai soon to be Kensai/Mage.

More videos coming today for a total of 4, any questions or feedback is appreciated! Enjoy!

For the curious, here's the Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition playlist that started last year:

Kanon Characters anyone feel little bad about them?

$

I mean that the game kinda force us as good character to take kanon characters in bg1 - imoen , khal and jah, minsc and dynaheir. And imo, jah and minsc with bg2 leaving you little place or none for others and if you ditch any of thease you are jerk defiling memory of gorion or very bad brother or very bad friend. So any of you feels bad as me taking other party members even if you played with them perhaps several times alredy?

BG2 Frequency of respawns in explored arena a little high?

As the title say, I constantly literally in chains face mobs/respawns in my previously explored/cleared areas. This is getting a little annoying to be honest lol.

A new, improved version of the Shadowdancer kit in BG2:EE

$

So, with the manuals for BG2:EE available now, we can see the Shadowdancer kit gets amazing HLAs.

I just have not enough words to say thank you to the Devs who have created these NEW shiny HLAs and thus have made the Shadowdancer kit truly unique:

[spoiler]

o SHADOW FORM: This ability temporarily transposes some of the Shadowdancer’s tissue with shadow-material, making the subject partially incorporeal. For the next 5 rounds, all physical attacks directed against the Shadowdancer deal only 50% of their normal damage. During this time the Shadowdancer is also under the effects of Improved Invisibility and cannot be directly targeted by spells.
o SHADOW MAZE: This ability opens a temporary gateway to a small pocket within the Plane of Shadow. All enemies within 10 feet of the Shadowdancer must make a saving throw vs. spells at a -4 penalty or become trapped inside a shadowy labyrinth, as per the Maze spell.
o SHADOW TWIN: This ability creates an almost exact duplicate of the Shadowdancer for 2 turns. The duplicate is created at 60% of the level at which the Shadowdancer is currently on. It has all the abilities that the Shadowdancer would have at that level. It also has 60% of the hit points of the Shadowdancer. The duplicate is fully under the control of the Shadowdancer.

[/spoiler]

And now the Shadowdancer kit gets the impoved backstab progression:

o Level 1-4: x1 (no multiplier)
o Level 5-8: x2
o Level 9-12: x3
o Level 13+: x4

It clearly shows the Devs hear what we (common gamers) say and constantly try to make the game better.

I think this news will be interesting especially for those of us who played and discussed the Shadowdancer kit a lot, including @Basillicum , @Aranthys , @Infiltrator , @Edvin , @enneract and many others

My mage is level 12 and has 17 base TACH0

My mage is level 12 and has 17 base TACH0 shouldn't it have 16?
Do you think editing games with EE Keeper (latest version) could have resulted of this? I never touched TACH0 tho but figured since it should be reduced by 1 every 3 it could probably get fucked up I suppose?

Is it just me... Or do the Multi-Classes appear as: Jaheria: Fighter/Druid and Fighter/Druid. How the heck am I supposed to know which is the Fighter Class and which is the Druid One...? O.o (I mean, I'm pretty sure I remember which class is which when you Multi-Class and or have Jaheira. But that's still really confusing!)

My Cleric/Thief also displays as the same. Which is super confusing. :/

Imoen's Dual Class is the way it used to be.

@Jalily

Is this a bug or just an inconvenient way to list Multi-Classes now? ._.

Edit:

Also, I don't know if this is my PC being old and weird, but why are most of the buttons in the tool bar now greyed out instead of Goldish like they used to be...? I find that a tiny bit annoying, as well.
Items in Quick Slots (Weapons, Potions, Fists(Empty Slot) are coloured but everything else is grey)

Dorn's quest? (Spoilers)

With all the bugs I've had lately regarding quests that don't trigger, I'm wondering if I could get an indication of when Dorn's SoA quest triggers? I am still in Chapter 1 and have completed Neera and Hexxat's, so not sure if it just isn't triggering or it's kept for a later chapter.

Anyone find a use for Dings, Mechanical Bird, ect?

I've been playing primarily with the new party members up until this point, but they keep handing me completely random items with no actual efffects. My inventory OCD is going crazy.

Can I safely store:

Dings (the cat)
Dragomirs respite (I just reload if anyone dies, I dont even know what it does)
Mechanical bird
Lamp of oil (from the tomb quest, you never use it though)
Gold statue (same deal, tomb)
Piece of silk (tomb)
Journal of fadell ironeye (I think i looted this in the tomb too)
Iron rod

I don't want to miss out on some kind of party interaction based on these, but i dont want to keep wandering around with them either. Any idea what any of these are worth?

No, it's not the real Hexxat. Hexxat: Like it says, guys. Ask me anything.

Super annoying Dorn bug... Get him to shut up!!!

At the moment I ran into a bug, where Dorn asks me when we're going to go to the Temple, I say let's go and he instantly teleports us there... Yay, time saved... But now he keeps talking, nonstop... as if I'm targetting him :)
And ofcourse I somehow mannaged to overwrite my savegame, so now ... I only have the bugged save game, anyone have any ideas as to how I can work around this? Cause at the moment I can't do anything :)

I've tried:
Removing him from party.
Saving / reloading.
Tried killing him and reviving again.
All the different conversation options, one leads to him just talking like I'm constantly targetting him... The other he just constantly opens conversation with me... So either one is just as bad. :)

(Yes I know I posted this in 2 forums, but a lot more seem to check this one :) )

Tombelthen's journal (possible spoilers)

While exploring the shadow temple in the Umar Hills, I found a shred of a journal that hinted at a cache hidden somewhere. It talked of a column of rock where I could find it, but I checked all the nearby columns in the woods there, and found nothing. anyone know where I could find it?

Can you get Dorn back after booting him (BG2EE)?

I'm about to move on to Valygrs story, but hate having a party of more than 4 people. Since I've finished Dorn's story and I'm not too amazed with blackguard, I'm gonna boot him. I want to do whatever he has in ToB though. Unlike other characters, he doesn't say anything about where to find him later. Does he leave forever if you kick him? If not, where can I find him?

Can't Save By Enraged? - This Seems to be New

I'm fairly certain that I have always been able to save the game when I had a character in a berserker rage, even in BGEE. But in BG2EE I can't seem to save my game until after the berserker rage ends. This true for others? Is this a bug or a new feature?

Do new npcs upset xp balance

Haven't played yet due to bugs but I was curious how much xp was just added into the game with the new characters? If I use them in a full party am I likely to be in TOB levels without also doing watchers keep in SOA? I do not really meta game too much so I make the choices I want not the most rewarding choices.

Also I have SCS and it put duergar in replacement of goblins in Irenicus dungeon. Does it do a lot of switching enemies that it will add a notable amount of xp to my total by the end?

Heretic guard dialog , guarding the bridge... hilarious (send ur resume) (rashad quest)

What should overhaul do next?

So BG1 and BG2 now both have an enhanced edition.

We will see the inevitable patches in the coming months, but now Overhaul is drifting directionlessly in the black void of post-development uncertainty.

Clearly only you and I can solve this existential dilemma. So what is the answer?

Should they:
1. Continue producing large amounts of post launch content for both games of breathtaking scale?
2. Start enhancing another infinity engine game?
3. Start enhancing another D&D game?
4. Start enhancing another game?
5. Stop enhancing games, and start making their own games which they may or may not be able to enhance another 12 years down the line?
6. Start making Baldur's gate 3?
7. Start making what is basically Baldur's gate 3, but not actually called Baldur's gate 3?
8. Start making an entirely new D&D game?
9. Start making an entirely new rpg?
10. Start making an entirely new game?
11. Something else?

I never really cared for Korgan...

But for some reason, in BG2EE I can't stop quoting him and find him absolutely hilarious, even if I find it annoying that my female dwarf can carry 120 pounds more crap than he can :P

My first attempt at playing BG2 goes back to the early 2000s, and I didn't get far before Icewind Dale 2 and other games took my attention away from it. Early this year I started playing through as a chaotic good archer (perhaps my reason for talking myself out of using Korgan), but now that I am using him with my chaotic neutral character, I just can't stop thinking about how awesome the bloody bibulous dwarf is!

Even compared to the new characters he stands out for me :)

The way he speaks of Lady Delcia endears him to me as well lol. I consider myself "neutral/chaotic good" with some neutralish tendencies irl, but he seems like a character I wouldn't mind having a pint or two with, haha.

Does anyone else have a character they never really cared for much before but now can't get enough of? I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts! :D
