Reputation and how to keep people in the group...

$
0
0
So i'm about to reach reputation 20 and as soon as I do both Viconia and Hexxat say "Heck with this!" If I reform the group, get the reputation increase then can I have them rejoin the group?

If I do this will it affect Hexxat's quests? I'm waiting the week to turn in the panther claw.

Can a PC thief side with Bodhi?

$

So I've built an awesome NE shadowdancer and was planning on having an all evil party side with Bodhi over the Shadow Thieves (still have to get Edwin from Mae'var's), but from reading online it looks like you cant side with her whatsoever if your charname is a thief. Is this still true in BG2:EE?

If so, is there a workaround? Part of the reason for the evil run is to see the Bodhi content as it relates to a certain new npc, and it seems silly to have to change my class for it.

My evil party. Wanna help me pick class?

Im currently running my solo Fighter/Cleric through BG1 on normal.
I just entered undercity so soon time for BG2!

What i cant figure out is what to play in my BG2 evil party on insane. Im out of ideas.
Hexxar and Dorn is a given for new content. Rest will be Koran, Vic and Edwin.

But... jesus i cant figure out what to play myself. Wanna try something new.
Any tips? There are several classes i still havent played in BG, despite tons of playthroughs.
Druid, Bard and Monk are the ones i mainly think of.
Ranger and Paladin i cant play as evil anyway. Kensai dualclass seems way to good...

Neera is now a man! Wild Surges and you!

So I'm playing BG2:EE and Neera wild surged into a bloke. I'm not romancing her so not a problem for me as a female PC but I'm surprised she hasn't reacted to it! Also is this a permanent effect? I seem to remember with main PC chars it is.

What interesting wild surge effects has everyone else experienced?

trueclass bard advice?

I'm starting a bard for bg2, and was hoping to get some pointers. None of the kits appeal to me, so I'm just going with the trueclass version.

I'm already used to pickpocketing everyone, so I know how that works. I also know of a couple weapons that add extra spells. I'm using Rogue Rebalancing, fwiw.

Any thoughts on party makeup, tactics, good spells to use, etc?

Black Pit 1 Party of younger NPCs from the Black Isle FR Games

I recently made a fun party of NPCs from the FR, usually younger versions of characters you have met
I pretended it was an adventure from their youth, and how they leveled up :p

Keldorn (LG Human Inquisitor): I gave him higher dexterity and lower wisdom to match his age (and used the Generic Handsome Man in Plate Armor for his Picture)

Gorion (LG Human Conjurer) using Edwin's Picture from BG1

Hrothgar from IWD (NG Human Fighter-->Cleric) using Anomen's Portrait

Saemus Freakin' Havarian (CN Human Swashbuckler) using Corans pic

Oswald Fiddlebender from IWD (CG Gnome Illusionist) using Tiax (lol)

Arundel from IWD (TN Human Druid) using that new portrait of the weird bearded (dwarf) guy who is holding a coin and has a hood.


Anyone else have ideas?
I was thinking maybe Melissan, Irenicus, Tethtoril, Scar, Erevain with his broadsword and a younger Haer-dalis or something.

Please share :) I plan on playing again with different classes. I'm for sure going to use Balthazaar as a Sun Soul Monk or a plain Monk. Looking for maybe another Cleric Class

ok who actually uses Neera

having to reload when she summons a freaking demon at level 2 is getting annoying. I mean if you role play, then your lifestory just ends right there because you got wiped out by a demon.

Dragon Disciple in BG2:EE

$
0
0
Ok, so in BG:EE, Sorcerers got a kit.

And it was cool. Dragon Disciple trades one casting of your level 1/2/3/4 spells per day in return for -2AC, 50% Fire Resistance, +1 con (which isn't really a big deal on mages), better hit dice, and the breath. Basically, a slightly less capable Sorcerer that compensates with slightly better natural defenses and a nifty ability. All in all, this is a fairly even trade in BG:EE, maybe even slightly in the favor of the Kit over the vanilla Sorcerer.

But with BG2:EE on the horizon, a lot of things change. In mid-late SoA and especially in ToB, AC becomes less and less important defensively - enemies with very low, even negative THAC0 and decent APR start to become common. The extra HP from those early levels might save you - from about one additional attack when enemies regularly hit for 20+ damage. And now you're not giving up just low-level spell slots, you're giving up an extra Time Stop or Improved Alacrity, Horrid Wilting or Power Word: Blind, etc.

In short - what is the Dragon Disciple going to get to compensate for the loss of those oh-so-incredible high-level spell slots? I hope it's something beyond further Fire Resistance/AC/Breath Weapon progression!

After six years of hard work, it's finally here. I have so much respect for the BGR project team for pulling through and finishing this instead of abandoning it like so many others would have. They're my new favorite modders now.

My Stalker is level 13, duel wielding a magic longsword (varies which one depending on fight) with Kundane (giving him +1 attack) in his off hand. It says I have 9/2 attacks. Is this correct? I've got ** longsword, * shortsword and *** 2 weapon fighting. Not hasted.

Is there a way to separate a BGEE couple without killing one?

Ok so I really want to use Jaheira but don't want to kill Khalid. Just for a roleplaying standpoint. I will prob want to do the same with Minsc and Dynaheir.

Has anyone ever done a (full) multi-romance playthrough?

$

I've played through BG2 countless times... and every single time end up with Jaheira. Her LOVETALKs seem to trigger way more often than any other NPC.

So, anyway, I'm thinking of doing a playthrough with multi-romance stuff, so I can (finally) try and see what the big deal about Viconia is. Has anyone ever done a whole playthrough with multiple romances? Does it "break" anything? I.E. will triggering one NPC's LOVETALK prevent another's from triggering properly?

So if you were to take a fighter from level 1 aaaaalll the way to the end of ToB. What weapon type would you GM in. Something thats going to be as useful at low levels as it is at level 30+. What would you suggest. (keeping in mind all the new goodies added to BG1 and 2EE)

Acknowledging area developers and sound (big spoilers, dont read until finished game with all 4 npc)

$

I feel that, although plenty of people are talking about the new npcs , not enough credit is being given to the developers of areas and sound.

Hexxat: Although some parts of the story arent as good as i would like, the new areas are very well written, giving that sense of unknown and danger that should come with a crypt full of undead. The music is imho excellent, fully summerging you in the whole undead, grave looter theme.

Dorn: The tree area, well not so much.... i was really hoping for something more demonic than a tree (go to the abyss kind of thing) ... heaven on the other side is great. I really liked it... but im missing angel animations. (not just solars). Music also very interesting

Rassad:i had very low expectations on this one, but i wasnt bad, the twin light and darkness temple area wasnt bad at all, the dwarf area was well designed, but i think other choices would have been preferable to a dwarf stronghold (an extremely high situated temple , like that famous one in greece) , the shadow twist was good, but imho short, they could really have done that part longer... overall , quite good.

Neera: Soa was ok, the red wizard shop very interesting, that whole area not bad , though it felt short. Thay on the other hand i liked it very much, the ambush, the transport, the arena, attacking the house etc... all quite good. Oh, and the music, excellent.

Give your thoughts!

BG2:EE Dorn (No Spoilers please)

I traveled with Dorn in a mixed alignment party in BG1. I liked the interaction between him and my PC because my PC wasn't of the same alignment. I was thinking of recruiting him when I came across him in the Temple district, but he was wanting to do something that was against my PC's alignment (plus Anomen started complaing... big surprise. lol). Is it possible to have him join a non-evil party and do you get any worthwhile interactions from him because of it?
