On the other hand she doesn't get immediately attacked. She just asks you to find something for her I think.
Quick question about BG 2 EE. Did they put that wild mage Neera somewhere off the beaten path this time?. Or did they put her in a place that forces you to avoid the whole north of town like they did in BG:EE. Resulting in the party getting hammered my red wizards?
Pretty sure on either your first or second visit to the Bridge District in Athkatla she'll make herself known. Essentially unavoidable.
Did they remove the config menu? I remember BG 2 had an quite extensive one. Or is it just maxed out now? Such as pathfinding and resolution.
Also one thing has been bothering me for a long time. I remember one finding a sword in the pirates house in Brynnlaw. It was an elven sword, that in the description, said it was was used to guide surface elves through the Underdark. Yet with the TOB expansion the sword was removed. I never played base BG2 after the expansion. Does anyone else remember that sword?

I take it Rasaad sucks and should be avoided until BG 2EE?
Buff her before fight?
Use invisibility potion on her during it?
On map with spiders queen in Cloakwood, if you go south from starting location. There is a body there with it.Buff her before fight?

Not going to work since I can't cleave down the ogre to get to the wizards fast enough before they fear the entire party. If I had a few hold spells and either a fireball or stinking cloud I could manage it. But that is a level or so away.
Also. Where can I find a scimitar+ 1 or so? Jaheira is really lacking in a one handed weapon.
I managed to complete the quest for Neera. One fireball and spamming fear and sleep was enough to barely get it done. Neera doesn't have any educational dialog after her quest is complete right? If not I'm kicking her from the party and taking her gem bag with me. Since as far as I can tell its the only one in the game.
When playing as a mage when is it best to multi class? I was thinking of finally trying a mage/thief after all these years. The first character I ever played was a thief all the way to throne of bhaal. And I really liked the control it offers. And also. How does being a Mage/thief effect BG 2? I remember the stronghold was picked depending on class. With Mages getting the sphere and thieves getting the guild HQ (and tons of income) do you get to pick or does the first class dictate the stronghold?
1. You have to attack from the back and be in stealth. Also I don't think all damage is 4x but I don't know the exact math.I started playing BG2 EE, been a long time since I last spent a significant amount of time with an IE game, so my memory might be a bit fuzzy, but two things bother me.
1. What's up with backstabs? The new UI gives you an exact dmg range for your chars, but, apart from crits, I'm yet to see a backstab that actually dealt at least 4x (current multiplier for my assassin) minimum dmg or more. It's even funnier when you get a "backstab for quadruple damage" message, but the actual number isn't even divisible by four. You also seem to miss a lot when trying to backstab, which isn't something I remember.
2. Learning spells. Afair 18 int should mean 90% chance to learn a spell from a scroll? Well, in BG2 EE it obviously doesn't, I often need to Q-L like 5-6 times to learn something.
Was it always like that or did the prestigious incliners from Beamdog fucked with the game in a yet another way?
