Help with dual class, kits and shadowkeeper

$
0
0
IIRC its not possible to dual class to a kit, even if the first class is a base class.

So to realise a fighter -> shadowdancer i need to make use of the shadowkeeper:

- change the kit
- add 10 points to both stealth skills
- remove traps innate
- add 1x shadowstep

The backstab multiplier, thievepoints/lvl , Hide in Plain Sight ability gets set automatically after setting the kit, right ?
Or do I need to add some variables to that character?

What kind of HLA am I getting with that dual class, the same as a pure shadowdancer, or some fighter abilities too ?

Your favorite EE NPC

I see a lot of hate for these guys, well mostly for Dorn and Hexxat, so I was wondering if there was any love for the rest of them? So just pick your favorite.

Ooh also if you comment, please list your least favorite as well.

Dual class question.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can find no definitive answer as to whether this still works in the EE version of the game. My question, if I dual a fighter at level 2 or 3, can I still attain grand mastery in my chosen weapon proficiency?
I know I could in the old games and I haven't run a low level dual class CHARNAME in a long long time.

Edwin School Choice

I never understood why they made Edwin a conjurer?! Edwin is a power hungry wizard with a strong ambition to be god like... Wouldn't have made since for him to have been a pure wizard class? I mean conjurers are limited to certain spells... im wondering if he's bitterness is from that choice?

Portraits for BG from Pillars of Eternity

In the latest Pillars of Eternity update we finally got a character portrait in a good resolution. It looks gorgeous!

So, no doubt about it: when Pillars of Eternity are out, portraits from that game will more than suit BG.

By the way, the name of this portrait is "pe_portrait_female_human_580" which leads me to dream that we'll have MANY portraits in Pillars of Eternity for PCs and NPCs.

BG saga

Hey fellow adventurers!
I have this strange problem which I wanted to share. You see, I have been playing BG saga for last 11 years. I began doing it just after my english skills were high enough for me to understand what the story is about. Every year, around june or july I create a new character whom I always love. And every time I spend many, many hours in character creation sheet. Everything must be perfect. Name, race, class and biography. Well, everything. Afterwards my adventure begins. Oh, those goblins and demons! My half brother and his evil plans! Mysterious mage which imprisoned myself and my friends. And eventually comes battle for Iron, sorry, Bhaals throne. At this point, when about 2 months of real playtime has passed, I uninstall my game and seek something else. I have never, not even once finished ToB. I even managed not to read any spoilers about what happens in the end. I have this feeling that if I finally finish whole saga about Bhaalspawn it is going to be the end of it. Fairy tale which will become boring afterwards. So my fellow adventurers, had any of you such problem? Does the game becomes different when it's done?

PS. Sorry about any misspelling. I am writing on my phone and recently have begun learning norwegian and both languages just mixed up.

Looking for BG 1 & 2 GUI mods

The 75 roll No-Reload/No Resurrection Challenge

Not sure how much interest there will be in this but I'm throwing it out there nonetheless!!!

RULES
- You must use a non-edited roll of 75
- You can re-roll as many times as you like
- You may not min/max any stats or edit any abilities at all
- You may not resurrect any party members
- Core rules
- Update your progress in this thread, whether it be death or success!
- Try to roleplay your character as much as possible :)
- Have fun


I'll start with Gwen, an Elven Priestess of Talos although I don't know how long she will live with her crippling low dexterity lol. She can barely equip herself and nearly takes her half an hour to do so. I took her first roll of 75, updates to come in the near future

Playing BG2/SOA but not EE.

So, I'm in the Planar Prison & I've killed almost everything but lost an NPC, Auren, who fell into one of the 'holes.'

I saved Auren's equipment & am ready to raise dead w/Anomen.

But, every time I try to sleep, I go thru the sleep sequence but the game freezes up as soon as I get to the part where I'd be able to start playing again. I'm well into the game so I don't lose this.

The Error Massage says, "An Assertion failed in ObjCreatureAI.cpp at line number 17023.

I have three saves, two of them doing this same thing every time.

I have an Auto Save that is before my party entered the prison & I could go back but I prefer to drive on. Help is appreciated so I can continue the butt whoopin'.

EE OSX Versions: Beamdog, GoG, App Store?

I have been running a wineskin version of BGT forever. However, with my retina MacBook Pro I am having trouble getting the widescreen mod to work. Now that most of the mods I use seem to work with the EE version, I thought it might be time to give it a try. I have a couple of questions from those who are running the game on a Mac before I purchase.

1. Is the game the same no matter where you buy it? I have bought a lot of stuff from GoG and I also see that it is in the Mac App Store.

2. I read a couple of reviews on the Mac App store that the game was unplayable with a retina Macbook Pro. Something about text and text tooltips too small to read. Anybody running on a rMbpro and have a good experience?

So I finished IWD:EE

I also finished the BG:EE saga. What should I do now? move on to IWD 2? I know Planescape:Torment would be the next logical step as I have never played it but I heard there's LOADS of reading involved and less action. What else is good?

Spell prepping

This one is mostly for players who prefer to be pure/specialized wizards/mages over soc or duel classing.

Purist forever!

How many spells do you tend to prep? Or what's your rule of thumb about spell usage? Unlike the soc, we can only cast as many of a spell that we have prepped, so do you prefer to stack spells or keep a large supply of different spells ready?

After completing the temple quest to get the artifact from "L" she has been in her "wraith" or "cloud" for the time since that quest. I cannot kill her no matter what I do + "L"s messenger has not come back after the artifact.

Please help :)

Would it be too much to ask for one more adventure before the departing the Infinity Engine?

$

We all know that Adventure Y is coming and im super excited, but at the same time i feel there should be one more game. Before they retire the infinity engine.
I always felt that there needed to be a adventure set between SoA and ToB. To me Throne of Bhaal went by too quick... even though i really enjoyed the deep campaign.

So... Do you guys agree? Or do you feel we had enough Baldurs Gate Infinity Games?

Word up,

Are the cd-keys provided in the retail boxes of BG1+2EE and IWDEE steam-keys, or can you install and run the games straight from the disc?

Top 5 NPCs, and bottom 5 NPCs! best party combos

$
0

When I first played BG back in the beginning of the century, I was primarily concerned with getting the strongest party together to kick the most butt.
This time through, I want to spend more time with as many NPCs as deserve it.

Who are your fav 5 NPCs to travel with, and who are your least fav 5?

Their effectiveness in game matters, but I am more concerned with who had a good quest, has good interparty dialogue, and who you look forward to traveling with again. I also want to know who you think the coolest party combos are.


(you can certainly have more than a top or bottom 5, I am just throwing out a number to get the ball rolling.)

I am familiar with CRPG mechanics enough to be confident I can succeed without concerns for party strength, and I know some of you on here know every little bit about this game, so this is a good opportunity for you to school some of us on some hidden gems in this game.
