Neera romance stuck? BG2EE *SPOILERS*

$

I seem to be getting nowhere with Neera at the moment. At our last talk we decided that Charname would "come to her" the next time we rested. I've rested numerous times since then and tried to initiate dialougue with her but nothing seems to trigger the "sleeping-together-for-the-first-time-talk".

What's wrong?

In the beginning of this quest, you can take 3 items from a chest.

A statue of a child, a djinni bottle and some silk cloth.

Has anyone found out, what the items are meant for?

Based on http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/11202/christmas-thread-2012-your-presents-for-baldur-s-gate-npcs/p1 . I've actually been waiting all year for this, just so I can give more NPCs stuff. :3

Sooo any obscure or not-obscure Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale or Planescape: Torment NPCs or anything like that, that you want to give presents to, now's your chance!

I guess rules are probably in order for this thread. Just be nice to each other, it's a lovey huggy thread, where we dance and frolick and give fictional characters fictional items!

Let me start.

Neera gets a ring of wizardry from me! Ain't that nice, Neera, now you can cast ALL of the reckless dweomers you want!

Alright, alright, before you roll your eyes at me and sigh, this perennial discussion seems to have resurfaced over in 'Teh Meme' thread again, with some pretty good suggestions too, so rather than clog that thread up with OT stuff let's gather them all here. (Or of course we could summon Xzar to perform thread necromancy on about a dozen other similar threads!

I'll fire the opening salvo and throw George Clooney as a suggestion for casting as Keldorn Firecam, and the no-brainer of Joe Manganiello as Anomen.

Have at it!

My fighter/mage just got *twice* struck by lightning (from the weather, not a spell) on the Valley of the Tombs map within the space of about a minute in real time, she was wearing plate mail at the time - 25 points damage each hit, though luckily she had 50 HP and Viconia managed to cast Cure Medium Wounds in-between! Never had that happen before (not twice, anyway), though I could see the funny side!

Barcelona have sent out a fixed statement regarding their intention to assure Lionel Messi remains their player for the long tug.

On Friday afternoon,union chancellor Sandro Rosell was speaking by the official announcement of Barca's current shirt sponsorship with Intel,yet talk predictably shifted apt matters aboard the pitch―more specifically, the future of their Argentinian talisman.

Per the club's legal website,cheap jordans, Rosell said:

Whilst I am President, we'll do everything possible - and the impossible - to reserve Messi by the Club. We'll do it intelligently and it really would be quite intricate because Messi to depart for afresh troop - actually impossible.

The quotes were also published aboard the club's lawful Twitter feed:

Rosell: “whilst I am President, we'll do everything feasible - and the impossible - to reserve Messi by the Club” http://t.co/Hpkv206bqm

The affirmation comes amid the fallout of comments made onward Barcelona vice chancellor Javier Faus, who earlier this week commented that Messi wouldn't be offered repeatedly extension about to behind signing a new deal among February, he told Catalonia Radio (h/t Dermot Corrigan of ESPN).

In a extra recent report,Woman Air Jordans, Corrigan goes on to explain that these comments were made within relation apt the suggestion that summer signing Neymar namely now the highest-paid player at the Camp Nou.

To put the Catalan club beneath annexed pressure,last month saw Rob Shepherd of the Daily Mail affirm that a transfer apt Manchester City wouldn't be off the cards because Messi in 2014,Air Jordans 3, saying:

So confident is the Barca boardroom membership of keeping clutch of his prized possession,among truth that the term "impossible" has been accustom dissuade speculation. Certainly it would quickly be an embarrassing U-turn whether the union did lose Messi in the near future.

Where do my party members go in multiplayer games?

I have created a party of six, but I was thinking to remove a party member and get an npc every now and then just to do his quest. I tested it with Jaheira in the dungeon, and the member just left. No "stay here" option.

Do I find them in an inn or something or they're gone forever?

Romance Endings

$
0
0
So I have had a real beef with romance endings for many years now.

Let's start off with my play style. I am almost always a Chaotic Good character (class always changes though), that plays with the standard party (Minsc/Imoen/Jaheira) with 1 or 2 different characters (romance/another), and completes almost all the quests.

My romances are about 75% Aerie. Jaheira bothers me immensely because she is way too quick to jump ship and move to the PC after Khalid's death. I think it would have been more appropriate for her to start closer to ToB than so quickly after the death. But I understand that she can be grieving and the PC can comfort her and those feelings turn... I just don't like it. Viconia is long, brutal, and troublesome. But I like hers when I feel that I want to do that.

Here is my beef. I hate the endings for the romances... all of them. I have the choice to become a God... but I can't take my romance with me? What is this... Hercules (Disney Version). Mystra can have a lover (Elminster) and elevate them to Chosen status (essentially powerful immortals), but I can't take Aerie (or the others) with me? [Why can't I have Sarevok (who eventually turns good, if you choose correctly) become the first Paladin of my order? Or any of the other NPC's do something similar.]

Does anyone else feel this way? I want to get the cake and eat it too. If I become a God, Aerie is coming with me. She is getting her wings back, she is having my child, and she is going to become Immortal (because by that time she is as powerful, if not more so, than Elminster). I've read a lot about that in the Forgotten Realms lore and don't see anything against it.

Now I just need to figure out how to mod my game so this happens both in game (at the end) and in the epilogue, so that I can see it playing out and be satisfied.

How much do you roleplay your character?

On a scale from 1-7, where 1 is a pure roleplayer and 7 a complete powerplayer, where do you fit in? Do you do quests that aren't in line with your CHARNAME, and would you travel with evil companions even if you yourself are a Paladin?

Do thieves still hold out in TOB despite the mass backstabbing immunities?

Hey guys,

Was just wondering if anyone has any words of wisdom on this area?

I remember lots of enemies being immune to backstabbing in TOB possibly to make fights more challenging. With thieves and Fighter/thieves using backstabs as a staple part of their combat routine, do they lose their edge in the final chapter? Do they have to become an offtank, go ranged and focus on traps instead?

Thanks

Does anyone know what kind of numbers your Hide/Move Silently scores need to be at in order to reliably hide every time? Also what other environmental factors play into this - I seem to recall if you try to hide in broad daylight outside you receive a penalty etc.

Does anyone know what kind of penalties exist?

Original BG PC portraits. The barbarian and some Irish elf guy.

I was browsing all BG and custom pics and mentioned some interesting things.
In the original BG game every NPC has his own portrait. I mean if we count the tutorial NPCs too - Mordaine (elven girl in a hat in all green), Osprey (a paladin like girl with sexy lips and red hair), Canderous (the tutorial cleric) is the main BG pic with a handome guy in metal armor on a blue background, Deder and Arkanis also have their own portraits. We know them.

But there are 2 more original portraits:
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Who are this guys? Are this 2 guys supposed to be protagonists? Or there were some ideas on other 2 NPC, but they were not included into the game? I mean this 2 pics are the only pic who don't have NPCs in the game. I know in some random situations the 1st pic can be a replacement in the tutorial... But still.
The 2nd one is deffinately a human, a pure fighter or a barbarian.
But who's the on the 1st one? An elf or hal-elf? Or even a halfling? Look at his ears. What class? A bard? He looks like Irish or Scottish to me.

The Tales of Sima Jin - A Noober's Journey in BG 2 (Let's Play Series)

Hey guys,

This is my first playthrough of BG 2, inspired by the master storyteller, 'Tord' of the Youtube Channel, 'mynameisnotlilly'. As a complete noobie to Let's Plays and BG 2, my first few sessions were pretty shaky, but I feel like I am learning and improving in both regards, and will now try to share/publicise my efforts a bit more. Hopefully a few of you will find it interesting/entertaining, perhaps reminiscing about your own 'first time' with BG 2 ;)

My Let's Play is the complete opposite to the only other active Let's Play on this forum (that I am aware of). Whereas 'zur312' is obviously a veteran powergaming silently through a heavily modded game that jacks up the difficulty, I am a BG 2 noobie roleplaying blindly (and not silently) through the Vanilla experience at 'Core-rules' difficulty. Whereas he only uploads the highlights from his journey, I am uploading every minute of mine to retain a complete record of my first adventure.

Anyways enough fluff, more details can be found in my original post below, and also on my youtube channel. Here's some handy links :)

My original post:

This is my first full playthrough of BG 2, and also my first attempt to record a Let's Play of any game, inspired by the master storyteller, 'Tord' of the Youtube Channel, 'mynameisnotlilly'.

Sadly I do not share his talent for roleplay or his radio-ready voice, so I do not promise any quality or level of expertise, either with regards to gaming or narration. In periods, it basically becomes 'Let's watch this noob play BG 2 whilst thinking out loud.'

I am now recording primarily for my own enjoyment, so that I will be better motivated to remain faithful to roleplay and so that I can look back on what I am sure will be an epic journey through the great city of Athkatla and Empire of Amn beyond. If anyone else might be interested in following my trials and tribulations, then I will steadily upload my adventures onto Youtube.

Oh yeah, I am playing BG 2 Vanilla, with the only installed mod being the BG 2 Fixpack (Corefixes only) from http://www.gibberlings3.net/

I would regard my run as 'semi-blind'. With the exception of the very beginning of the game, I have no idea what to expect. I have avoided all walkthroughs/guides, but I have read the Manual that comes with the download from GOG, and I also use the following resources to help me in my journeys:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/258273-baldurs-gate-ii-shadows-of-amn/faqs/11334
http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/258273-baldurs-gate-ii-shadows-of-amn/faqs/13870
http://www.dotd.com/mm/MM00000.htm

Oh and of course I've sought guidance on this forum. But always in a non-spoiler-ish and specific way.

For BG:EE

STR 18
DEX 18
CON 15?
INT 18
WIS 10?
CHA 18?

Should I lower WIS to 7, raise CON to 18, get the Claw & bump WIS later with books? Or lower CHA to 15 & do it that way? Or leave as is?

Also, with a starting CON of 18, will this character eventually be able to get 20 CON & a small regen? Is that worth going for?

Um... quick question. Is Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition still going to receive updates? Or is 1.2 final? I'm asking because when my buddy and I try to play a game, it's unstable (whoever isn't hosting crashes constantly, such as when transitioning, or saving) to the point of being unplayable.
