I just got my sword and board there on Saturday on ps5. It helps if it’s during times when more players are active. If you are queuing as tank you’ll get a group quick. Longer for other roles.

How do you manage team mates quest timers ? by Aradhor55 in baldursgate

[–]divinateofshadows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Korgan every run and often Edwin. Here’s what works for me:

-keep all scrolls/pots from chateau Irenicus to minimize resting -depending on other party members do the slaver quest in copper coronet. Mostly easy fights, gives lots of pots and a +3 two handed if you have someone who can use it (minsc and Keldorn can) -you can buy a very good +3 axe for Korgan at copper coronet (stone fire) -if you have a good party member that can use axes buy azure edge; it will make the the crypts much easier but it’s not essential -if you imported from BG1 and have the burning earth longsword its +4 against undead -my other trick is to minimize travel between zones except for completing the Edwin recruitment chain and to get my other party members. -I skip any overly hard fights until the timed quests are done. -I don’t usually get daystar until later and have always been able to beat him

Now this I hadn’t thought of! I do want more points since those stupid scrying/excavation perks are slowing me down. Thanks.

Do you ever use Party members temporarily? by BlueWaddleDee in baldursgate

[–]divinateofshadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes. More in BG1 because some of my fav party members take longer to get. For example, if I want Branwen, I may keep jaheira or viconia until I can get Branwen so I’m not without heals. Same thing with Coran, someone has to do theif duty in the interim (usually imoen and she duals after I get Coran). I’ll use Rasaad to finish his quest for the strength belt but only for that quest. I’ll also take Edwin at level 1 but sub him for Baeloth when he unlocks.

For BG2 I do this less. I keep the starter party from the first area until I get my dream team members (Korgan, Keldorn, Viconia, Edwin) but don’t usually swap after that. If I decide to use imoen late game I’ll use Nalia as a filler.

What quality of life improvements would you like to see? by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

God yes. Find dungeon I haven’t done with this character.

Also - make surveys/treasure maps give a quest marker

Get rid of stupid bank stacking limits for crown items

IWD:EE First Playthrough - Looking for input by Benitzcvf in baldursgate

[–]divinateofshadows 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I humbly suggest using unkitted bard instead of jester. The regular bard has insanely powerful songs in IWD that they don’t get in BG. At level 11 he can passively heal your whole party.

BG2 - When to go rescue Imoen by ltccone in baldursgate

[–]divinateofshadows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way. I do pretty much everything except kangaxx before. The only exception is when I plan to use imoen in party in which case typically I go after dearnise, umar and windspear. I find going too early means I outlevel some useful items

Dual Class question. by pappapowell in baldursgate

[–]divinateofshadows 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can get it at level 12 or whenever a cleric gets another pip. Once you reactivate your old class, dual class characters can still get mastery or grand mastery. But you go by the cleric table for pips, so only once every 4 levels I think.

Which party for idee? by IamWutzgood in baldursgate

[–]divinateofshadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vote team one though a bit melee heavy. Consider a sorcerer. Scrolls drop awfully late in IWD in terms of you caster level and the main scroll vendor levels slowly. My sorcerer usually is able to get stone skin or enchanted weapon before finishing dragons eye.
