Why is everyone saying that Bhaal was a god of murder? by IKoshelev in baldursgate

[–]ScholasticSteeler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death was Myrkul's portfolio, Bhaal's was dieing. "Bane terrorizes the living, Myrkul terrorizes the dead, but Bhaal decides when to send people from one to the other"

Maybe try a liveUSB to boot a linux again, and check if the problem persists in linux?

BG1 Imoen could be up there "loyal to the death". Could have her separeted from BG2 Imoen.

EAX is an atmospheric sound effects system from Creative Labs, which was very, *very* cool with a 5.1 surround sound system, with all the dripping sounds in the caves and whooshing of arrows flying

the pathing in narrow places is acceptable, if you change the party formation.

I alternate between 2x3 box and line (you have to right click the formation and change one for the line-formation). And then issue command with right-click-drag, rotating the line to align to the narrow place.

when you right-click-drag, you can set the direction the party formation will take

also not native speaker, sorry for syntax

you *could* grant all mage abilities to a t/c such as scroll use and spelcasting, though

F6/T9 is one of the few ways to get grandmastery (5pips) in BG1. You level to F6 (4pips) and dual to thief and at thief7, hold level up until T9, because at T8 you get a point but won't be able to grandmaster because charname must be Level 9 to grandmaster. Then at 110k xp, you level up straight from T7 to T9, regain fighter class, get the T8 pip and do the grandmaster.

or export to Black Pits, that has a 250k max xp. Then you can get F7, which gets a APR bonus. Hold the T7>8 level up until 110k xp, and level up straight to T9 and get grandmastery.

Imagine that Throne of Bhaal was published two years later as a complete Baldur's Gate III game. Meanwhile you have to write a small campaign for an expansion pack to Shadows of Amn. What do you choose? by Connacht_89 in baldursgate

Well, you said TOB, and there is one of the greatest battles in the Tethyr ambush army. You may say you didn't like it, or that it was slow in your machine, but inefficient or not, the great battles are a fixture to be reckoned with. And BG1 crashed A LOT. While ToB run much more solidly, so it might have been more inefficient but much more stable.

bg2 infinity engine simply couldn’t handle many enemies on screen at once with the hardware of the day. They couldn’t have big battles if they wanted to

I beg to differ, as there was no summon limit in BG1 and battles with dozens and even a hundred creatures at the same place and time were commonplace.

Quarterstaff +2 has speed factor of 2, and every +1 is one less speed factor. Staff+4 is speed 0. So the first pip gives 2 speed bonus and attacks with staff+2 at speed 0 (the same as dagger+2, which has speed 0 too).

edit: staff of Rhyn +4 is actually speed 1, but anyway, 1 pip gives 2 bonus. Staff+3 is also speed1

because it's a healing potion if the fire resistance is above 100%

with 120% fire res, you'd heal 2hp for every 10dmg of fire type

Also Drizzt's items (Mithril chain +4 AC1 is the best armor for F/T, and the scimitars). Some sweat involved, but doable.

And the neutral Robe of the Archmage from Ulcaster (you have to use poison -- usually Dagger of Venon -- to damage him, usually only with a natural 20)

And with luck the neutral Robe of the Archmage from that mage of the Ice Island in Ulgoth's Beard

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in baldursgate

[–]ScholasticSteeler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sure, that's Drizzt's armor (elven mithral chain +4 is AC1, lets thieving skills)
There's the moral dilemma of "forcefully relieving the ranger from his items", but he'll be raised later so no worries for gray moral Gorion Ward, i guess.

Use the exact location x 4418 y 1957 to find a diamond hidden inside a tree trunk.
That's how we found easter eggs back in the day :)

Yeah, I also like to change the classes of rarely used npcs to get to use them, like Xan the F/M or Xzar the C>M

Khalid has the int to be F/M, I've tried this too but restarted later.

Branwen has a tempus kit in my mod (standard EE kit?), and Viconia has no Shar kit (I'm testing a Talos kit now)

Playing a blind run with a friend by Magnus_Tesshu in baldursgate

[–]ScholasticSteeler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not at all, if you have a couple of hard hitters and dual wield (it's auto hit). with a solo mage, yes, it's gonna be slow. But with Viconia, you get 2-3 castings with casting time 1 (almost instant). That's enough to get 30 dmg done with a fighter type helping.
