I'm starting a new playthrough of SoD having just completed Neera's mini-romance in BGEE. I'm into Chapter 10 at this point, and after recruiting Neera, shooting down Safana, and completing Neera's potion quest, I have yet to have any additional dialog with Neera. Have I missed anything, or do I just need to wait a bit longer for her dialogs to trigger?

Hardest fight in the game... (Heavy Spoilers)
I'm currently on my first LoB difficulty play through, and have cleared up to Suldanesselar, and have cleared Watchers Keep (WK). I understand WK should be considered ToB material but the devs made it accessible in SoA, so I always clear as much as I can until there's an obvious gear or skill check. I hit the Maze level when my 6 person party just started to get HLAs, and I consider Tahazzar's (antimagic) room to be the hardest fight in the game (SoA at least). Underdark Elder Orb was annoying, Kangaax, Saladrex (dragon) and the demilich were very tricky, Demogoron was cake.
What are your tactics for Tahazzar's room (other than potions, wands and spell contingencies)?
What do you all consider to be your hardest battle (ToB included)?

Elder Scrolls : The dumbing down
An interesting retrospective of the decrease in quality of the TES series.
![image]()
You know that i, like any oldschool rpg fan, likes to bash Bethesda and Todd ''you can climb it'' Howard for completely missing the point of the Fallout series, but i really like the premise and races of the TES series and its pretty sad watching it becoming the rpg equivalent of COD.

Favorite Roguelikes
Here's a genre that doesn't get talked about alot here, but are probably the most pure form of RPG out there. I've recently been trying my hand at Tales of Maj'eyal, and I find it to be absolutely stellar in every regard. I've also heard great things about Ancient Domains of Mystery and Stone Soup. Clearly Angband and Nethack are of the more hardcore and old-school variety. I generally prefer ones that have decent looking graphical tile-sets, as the idea of staring at calculator symbols for hours on end doesn't appeal to me. But what are some of the favorites around here?? Has anyone ever beaten any of the more notorious ones??

Original Poison Weapon ability for BG1:EE and BG2:EE
This mod simply makes the Poison Weapon ability of Blackguards and Assassins work exactly like it used to in BG:EE v1.3. To install just extract the spcl423.spl file into your game's override folder. Make sure to put the one in the BG1EE folder in your BG1:EE override and the one in the BG2EE folder in your BG2:EE override. Download link.
Note: The descriptions will be wrong, but they always were anyway.
I will make more soon...
(@Dee has mentioned that the official version of this ability may get further re-balanced because of some math errors. I have other plans for modding this but, I may hold off until I see what the devs cook up.)

How to kill dragons in BG2 ?
Do you have a solid strategy and are you willing to share it ?
Because i have not find it yet. I go by instinct. Or i cheese.
For example :
My cheese strategy for Draconis is to lower his magic resistance, ( greater malison optional ) and then Finger on Death until he fail the save vs death and dies.
My not cheese strategy for the SoA shadow dragon Thaxll'ssillyia was to lower his magic resistance.
Then, without bothering to do break or magic piercing spells, i simply melee him while my mages keep hitting him with Flame Arrows.
Flame Arrow is, surprisingly, a very good spell in my opinion. Very useful in many situations.

"Maybe this time" [NO-RELOAD THREAD]: "Kill three greater basilisks with one mirror potion"
In the depths of the old bioware forums, there are arcane threads hundreds of pages long and eons old that recount the travails of countless adventurers that tried to get through the entire trilogy without reloading. There are also already several excellent threads by @semiticgod @Blackraven and many others detailing their no-reload challenges.
I suggest that we share our no-reload/trilogy attempts in a common thread. Bioware forums show that there is synergy in such combined threads that keep solidarity far beyond the attempts of single adventurers.
Here are some suggested rules for a trilogy run that I use [adjust your own to taste and announce]:
1. no-reload [otherwise, there is no point]
2. SCS
[I recommend the following setup for both BGEE/BG2EE: full AI improvements; improved encounters only without rule-changes to monsters; NO insta-buff mages -- full SCS *will* kill you, if not trimmed as such reasonably.]
(SR would be great, but it is still in beta.)
3. no "munchkining" [personal taste, of course]
a. fair rolls for stats [i.e. don't touch the +/- buttons; re-roll if you want to]
b. no meta-game abuse [e.g. using a thief to scout is fine, but don't buff up for an ambush you couldn't have known about]
c. no EEkeeper abuse [I like making my FMC human for flavor, but it is perhaps overkill to make a Dwarven Defender/Mage with +++++ in Axes...]
d. "Do unto the AI as you would have the AI do unto you."
Basically, avoid doing things that AI is incapable of.
Example: As per the discussion in the following link, I do not permit myself to use Sequencers mid combat. They are no longer an obvious first choice for a Sorcerer. (Casting 3 spells a round really breaks the balance.)
https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/44257/7-3x4-8-3x6-9-3x8
4. Any party size, solo or full team. Role play strongly-encouraged (and without such a gameplay theme, I loose interest in my own runs usually).
(If you wanna skip BG and start in BG2 it's also fine. My own OCD usually requires me to start from the very beginning, but I suppose this is impractical.)
Personally, in a decade of trying, I never finished a trilogy run (although did get as far Ch. 3 in BG2). I have seen others succeed in completing, so it is surely possible.

Cannot install BG2:ee on Mac OS Sierra
I tried to install BGII enhanced edition downloading the launcher from the website, but the launcher does not start.
It says: "It looks like you are unable to write to the current location. Please copy the game to your Applications Directory, or some other writeable location".
I tried to install it on the Applications folder and on my user Application folder, as well as in the desktop but the same message is always displayed. I suspect there is an issue with the permissions in the new version of Mac OS.
I am running the latest version Mac OS 10.12
The Siege of Dragonspear that I had already installed updated without problems instead.

[in-progress] Will of the Wisps - Shamanic enhancements
"Will of the Wisps" is my new BG2EE mod in-progress. I don't usually show my work when it's not ready, but I decided to make an exception. The mod is to introduce more shamanism in BG2. I understand that many people just don't play shamans because they do not get their own Stronghold and there is no shamanic NPCs in BG2. That resulted in making this class very little popular. What's more, right now original game does not include any kits for shaman class.
In the mod you will receive:
I'm not going to give you all details or release dates as it just takes time. I would also like to thank @Artemius_I who prepared the kit for shaman. I just came up with some ideas, but it is he who made it. (Aremius, where were you when I was working on my previous mods!?![;)]( ";)")
Thanks, really. You're great.)
To not leave you empty-handed, just with few promisses, here are some screenshots. Note that content may change a bit with time.

In the mod you will receive:
- Shaman's stronghold, that hopefully blend in with other original strongholds;
- A new kit for shamans: witchlight shaman;
- A brand new NPC: Will, the undead shaman (witchlight) with short friendship track;
- A change in original shaman's description to get rid of the "no stronghold" line;
- Some new items for shamans and undead character (Will, Hexxat and others added by other possible mods)

BG:EE is on GOG sale. I'm thinking about picking Siege of Dragonspear, but reviews scare me.
Greetings. I'm thinking about buying BG:EE and Siege of Dragonspear on GOG, but reviews for the latter are quite disheartening, to say at least. There are 10 pages of 1-star reviews in row. So I got questions:
1) How bad is the bug situation by now? I don't think I can handle Fallout 2 level of bugs like I did when I was teen.
2) Can someone point me in most possible non-spoilerish way to what exactly made "anti-SJW" crowd that mad?
3) How similar it is to original BG games in atmosphere and gameplay? I only played vanilla BG and mostly remember it being cheesy high-fantasy fare with plot which didn't really went anywhere until the very final part of the game. And honestly I liked it as it was, in its shameless DnD charm and endless green fields. But how can you make plot worse than that, really?
