Was the original BG this ridiculous? (ambush by ~40 kobolds)

$
0
0
So, if you rest in Firewine area with a party of lvl 6-7 you can get ambushed by a sea of kobolds (almost 40 of them).

This... breaks immersion. I mean a few are fine, but that many?!

I don't remember this kind of "level scaling" in the original. Perhaps it should be toned down...


(Well, to be honest, one Fireball to the face still clears ALL of them [you may want to keep one front liner in place to delay the tide]. But it's still annoying.)

non mi reputo in grado di mettere mano ad una directory di testa mia e chiedo consiglio a voi o miei valdi figli di bhaal... fatemi sapere ;)

Mod to nerf illegal NPC's stats

$

This is somehow a follow-up on the thread about Garrick's stats. The idea is to write a mod that changes the NPC's stats in BG:EE for the better, akin to the so-called "Level 1 NPC" mod (which does far more and is not compatible with BG:EE).

So we have Coran and Kagain that have impossible stats. What do you think about given Coran a dexterity of 19 instead of 20, and Kagain a constitution of 19 instead of 19 and maybe a boost of 1 point of strength?

I just started a new game and I was in Irenicus' dungeon taking on those Goblins right at the beginning after the Genii. When the battle was over I noticed that one of them had dropped some heavy armour when it died. It turned out to be a Chain Mail +1. I've done that battle countless times and I've never gotten anything more than a Battle Axe. I'm not sure if it was a glitch or not.

Baldur's Gate Alphabet

While I've been reading this, I've thought about making a new thread where we can make a new alphabet - the one which every BG fan knows.

If there're several variants per one letter, the community will evaluate each one and by the number of reactions it will be evident which variant is the best.

Let the new forum game begin!

So, let me start:

A - Amelyssan

B - Baldur's Gate

C - Candlekeep

Stuck on Resurrection Gorge

I'm in the gorge and have the stones from Winterbrook and Fil. However, the demon w/ the third stone is nowhere to be found. I've used all the charges on the wand, explored the whole map w/ my thief's detect illusion skill going (at 120 points), and CLUAed myself 50 scrolls of Glitterdust.

It seems the demon is failing to spawn, but I found him on an earlier game using only my thief's detect illusion skill, however I had to load a previous save due to char death and now I'm stuck.

Does anyone know his NPC char number so I can just CLUA him in or the stones item number? I don't have any usable save files to reload.

image____GIF THREAD____image

In seguito ad una grande richiesta da parte degli utenti di questo forum:

[spoiler]in realtà solo due al momento della creazione di questo thread: @Sophia e @Pibaro XD[/spoiler]

ho creato questo thread ove ci si può sbizzarrire nel postare le GIF animate più divertenti, sorprendenti e strane del web!!


Onde evitare, però spam esagerati da parte degli utenti stessi
effettivamente è un po' un controsenso parlare di non spammare in un topic di spam ma tant'è...
gradirei sottolineare due regoline che poi si rifanno a due punti ben precisi del regolamento di forum:


[spoiler]
1- a) Ogni utente potrà postare SOLO una GIF animata per volta;
b) Se l'utente ne ha altre pronte in canna è pregato di attendere che qualcun'altro abbia postato prima di replicare - regola legata al punto #3 - No doppi post, in caso di doppio post provvederò a cancellare il secondo (nulla vieta di ripostare ciò che è stato cancellato a patto di seguire la regola 1);

2- a) Gli utenti sono fortemente invitati a NON postare GIF animate con contenuti palesemente sessuali/pornografici/volgari - regola legata al punto #1 del regolamento, nonché al fatto che il forum stesso è classificato PEGI13;
b) L'ironia, il sarcasmo e lo sfottò goliardico sono ammessi ma NON l'insulto esplicito e palese, con l'intento volontario quindi di arrecare danno o offesa al prossimo.
In caso di dubbi domandate a me o agli altri moderatori della sezione Italiana del forum via PM, in caso di post contenenti GIF con contenuti non ammessi lo stesso verrà cancellato e verranno presi provvedimenti.
[/spoiler]

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


La sintassi per postare GIF in thread è: < img src ="qui dentro va il link all'immagine" >, senza gli spazi tra le parentesi acute o chevron(<>).

Consiglio di cliccare col tasto destro sulla GIF voluta e selezionare "visualizza Immagine" (o "Visualizza", dipende dal browser) infine copiare grezzamente il link nello spazio tra i doppi apici (").
Questo dovrebbe evitare problemi di visualizzazione.

Tenete conto che facilmente i link dropbox non funzionano (se inseriti nel comando BBCODE < img src > nel post si visualizzerà solo la scritta "image"), tenete conto che questo vuole esser un thread immediato e quindi non ha senso postare semplici link che rimandano ad altre pagine, cercate di far visualizzare direttamente la GIF! :)


Ricordatevi di dare un breve titolo alla GIF che postate, in maniera da presentarla meglio e contribuire a creare la situazione comica!!!!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Fate sapere ai ragazzi che postano quanto vi piacciono le GIF di questo thread!! :D
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Detto questo fate i bravi e DIVERTITEVI a postare GIF animate divertenti, pazze, strane e chi più ne ha più ne metta!! :D



[spoiler=For non Italian users]

Just a brief sum up of the WoT above:
  • this is the GIF THREAD; (rly?)
  • you can post any funny, amazing and/or strange GIF you want, here;
  • double posting is allowed and encouraged, here;
  • stick to the RULES and especiallly to PEGI 13;
  • like what you like;
  • have fun!!!

Best Armor for a Cleric/Thief

Solo Cleric/Mage or Fighter/Cleric/Mage

Hi all,

I am getting ready to start a solo character all the way from BG through Throne of Bhaal. I want a cleric this time, but I also love mages and want to be a front line tank as well. Quite a bit to ask. I am torn between a F/M/C and just a C/M. The C/M will obviously gain levels faster and end at a higher level, but can a C/M go toe to toe with anything without the Fighter class or would I only be casting spells? Which would be the stronger class over-all. I will admit the only battles I typically have problems are in ToB (Mellissan, Abizigal, Sendai) so I want a character that could easily take these foes on even on insane difficulty.

SCS tips?

Well, I just started playing this, and enjoying it this far... Playing the canon party with 1 exception (Khalid, Jaheira, Imoen, minsc, Neera and PC as cavalier)
Never gotten my ass handed to me so hard by silke before, but a lucky wild surge cast a stinking cloud on her.

Is there anything I just MUST get, thinking abilities, items or w/e.

I use item randomizer as well.

Done gnoll stronghold and headed for mines now.

Getting Ready To Play BG2:EE For the First Time: Party Help?

$
0
0
So I'm... maybe halfway through the first Baldur's Gate game, maybe more if I remember how the story goes, and I'll be exporting my BG:EE character to BG2:EE. I was wondering if I could get some help setting up my party for BG2:EE and beyond.

My main character is a half-elf fighter, dual-wielding long swords. Chaotic Good, and I plan on sticking with being all squeaky clean and nice (I've got a heroic reputation on BG:EE; boo yeah). My current party in BG:EE is myself, Imoen, Minsc, Dynaheir, Rasaad, and Branwen.

Currently, drawing on my memories of BGII, my current party set up for BG2:EE will probably be:

Myself (Damage)
Yoshimo (thievery) --> Imoen (thievery/magic)
Minsc (Damage/Tank)
Aerie (magic/healing/new witch for Minsc)
Keldorn (Awesome)
Rasaad (LI)

Any obvious holes? Alternate ideas?

Kensai or Berserker Mage: Holding off levels for mage to fighter pips

$

I vaguely remember back in vanilla BG2 that if I held off leveling when I dual-classed my fighter at 13(1.25 mil xp) until I reached mage level 14 (1.5 mil xp), I'd be able to allocate the mage weapon pips into fighter weapon proficiencies. Does anybody remember if this still works?

BG1NPC for BGEE Prerelease

$

BG1NPC with BGEE compatibility is still a work-in-progress. A prerelease version is available for testing by the BGEE community. Since this is work-in-progress, there may still be outstanding compatibility issues with BGEE. There may also be inadvertently created issues with Tutu/BGT. Please keep that in mind.

The most recent prerelease is v21-PR_20140806: https://github.com/AstroBryGuy/BG1NPC/releases/tag/v21-PR_20140806

    NEW COMPONENT FOR BGEE:
    Banter Timing Tweak - Utilizes the new BANTTIMG.2DA file available in BGEE to adjust banter dialog timings. This component replaces Compton's Banter Accelerator script for BGEE. It is not available for Tutu/BGT (Compton's Banter Accelerator remains available for Tutu/BGT). There are five timing options available:
    [1] Normal banter timing (~27 minutes between banter dialogs)
    [2] Faster banters (Banter dialogs occur ~50% faster)
    [3] Very fast banters (Banter dialogs occur twice as fast)
    [4] Slower banters (Banter dialogs occur ~50% slower)
    [5] Very slow banters (Banter dialogs occur twice as slow)

    INSTALLATION:
    Download and unzip the archive. Copy the mod files to the directory/folder where the CHITIN.KEY file lives (depends on OS and download version). See the following links for more information on installing on your platform: KNOWN ISSUES:
    • If you are running BGEE v1.2, do not save and reload your game with a dead NPC in the party. This will cause the NPC's local variables to be reset, which could make dialogs repeat. Raise dead party members before saving and reloading. This is a BGEE/BG2EE engine bug (#7190) that should be fixed in V1.3.
    • If you attempt a PID with Montaron and your reputation is 12 or greater, he will leave the party (and take Xzar with him). This is bug in Montaron's dialog file in BGEE (#7233). His "break point" is set incorrectly. This will be fixed in v1.3.

Which ones are the most useful for you?

My charnam regenerates with a 20 con and he carries potions of healing which heal 8 hp fast and cant be interrupted. So cure light wounds seems weak. Minor drain is a fast acting range attack that can interrupt casters, and provides a slight hp boost to boot.

In EE ghoul touch was replaced with horror, and that is so much better. Way better than slow poison, which typically gets interrupted while trying to stop poison on charnam. Potions do it better and horror is a game changer for solo runs, basically insta killing wyverns and stuff .

Tier 3 is debatable. Draw upon holy might has 1001 uses. For a thief, that dex increase boosts your rogue skills by 5% per increase. So if you casted that at level 30, you would get a plus 50 to all of your skills for 10 rounds? Wait, is it really that useful?!? what is the casting level limit?

Vampiric touch is good too, can heal and harm a nice chunk of HP before during or after a fight. Unless i have an alignment restriction i usually keep my rep low to get all evil powers!

Hi Guys,

I am interested in making a friend who wants to do some multiplayer action! Game is BG1:EE w/ two mods - SCS & BG2Tweaks. (I will eventually beat this and move to BG2:EE)

I am relatively new to Baldur's Gate, but I am experienced with tactical rpgs and the like. After my first hour with this game I knew I would be a long-time player, regardless of "how old" it is.

Long story short: I haven't really gotten past the Nashkel Mines yet. Well I cleared them, but am having a blast restarting to try new toons and such. It occurred to me that this would be much more fun with a friend.

Skype, mumble, teamspeak, vent... whatever you prefer is great! If things go well we eventually exchange cell numbers for texting and planning ahead / theorycrafting.

I am really interested in playing a Dwarf. Fighter/Thief, Fighter/Cleric, Berserker, Dwarven Defender - my options are open - but I would like to be an "Armored Dwarf." If you want to be a mage - I will be your wall. Honestly there are a thousand builds I am more than happy to try!!

About me: My name is Mick. I work 9a-5p EST - live in Buffalo, NY - I am super chill guy, daily smoker of teh mary jane, and my favorite thing to do is to lose myself in a game. Looking to pick and choose weeknights to play some, and I am also open to long marathons on the weekends. I have my rig set up to a big screen TV and I am going to be at this for quite some time.


TL:DR;

-I want a friend =(

-BG1:EE w/ limited mods. We can sync up our mods beforehand.

-I have used Steam to purchase my game, if that matters for anything.

-Gametime - I work 9-5p EST and my life is basically Running and Gaming. If I am not at work, I will be on the game. It's fresh and new to me. I will probably be playing this well into 2015.

-What I am like; chill guy, history of years in WoW - favorite aspect was PvE raiding/tanking heroics, favorite games have been Dragon Age: Origins, Rift, Fire Emblem, Zelda, Ogre Battle, Shining Force, Skyrim. Usually something with tactical/fun combat and a decent story. I modded Skyrim to high heaven. I actually found out about BG on the Divinity: Original Sins forums. Another game I am interested in - but newer and not so well done as Baldur's Gate.

-RP ... I can do light RP. But let's be honest I am going to be stoned and having a good time. I laugh at just about everything and never get mad. But I can't see myself literally talking to you like a Dwarf. Lmao.

-I like to really clean out towns and maps. Fog of War is the enemy. Don't usually pickpocket, but I will search high and low, every container, when I am playing alone. If I am with a friend I will be much more lenient with my play style in an effort to keep both of us happy. My gameplay style is generally to really crank up the difficulty and try to struggle through hard fights. Reloading and trying to win by the skin of my teeth is fine. Also turning the difficulty down and trying a no-reloads run isn't out of the question either.


If you have any interest - please send me a message and I will get back to you. I will be at this for awhile so please consider this post to be active if you stumble into it a couple weeks from now.

Thanks!
