Wtf happened to Jaheira? Did mf-Sheppard evaporized her for being disobedient, and then reconnected her molecules because he needed healing?

Diplomacy....worked?

Well...it's far from diplomacy...but I'm pretty sure you can only pull that line off with a high charisma. That is to say, everyone can say it, but I think only higher charisma will let it work. Charisma is actually sorta useful in Baldur's Gate.

I think you get more exp and loot with killing, though, so I wouldn't say diplomacy is useful.

BTW: Will BG1->BG2 porting prevent me from using kits?

Not at all, you can choose a kit just as if you created your character and I think the weapon proficiencies are even reset so you can reattribute the points as you see fit.

Be sure to charm the necromancer and some bounty hunters for some backstory. I don't remember if greywolf worked.

It just doesn't work.
Do some more write-up instead, or something.

Yeah...I really don't know what's going on. With some of the later stuff, I started taking screenshots obsessively because I couldn't quite figure out the root of the problem. At first I thought it was just whenever I had my cursor over a sprite and the scroll thing popped up that was causing the glitch. But that doesn't seem to be the issue after some testing?

Anyone here happen to use MWSnap with Infinity Engine Games and run into this before?

Huh. You can do that? I'm probably a little too far to do much of that anymore, but for reference, do you know what NPCs can be dealt with like that?

That fat spider girl in the cave can be charmed and delivers some backstory. It's the only one I know.


Nice LP btw. Thank god we don't have sounds, so we didn't go through the agonizing process of hearing them xvarts burping to death over and over.

Dire charm Yes. There was the necromancer, some of the bounty hunters (i remember this guy in naskell maybe), Centeol (the spider queen), the first flaming fist soldier, Taugosz Khosann and Ardenor Crush in the bandit camp, Marl, chapter 7 flaming fist, maybe Davaeorn etc. Lots of them really.

In true bioware fashion the end result is the same. But hey, at least they tried.

Also proving the :decline: in BG II there is exactly 1 situation like this i think, the captain of Nalia keep.

Looking at this

It appears you might not be able to see this if using tutu.

Edit: ho some pc if not recruted yet are charmable:
Dynaheir, Kivan and Eldoth. Bioware you whores.

Why don't you just use in-game screenshot functionality, then batch convert the screenshots to some manageable format? :?

That's what I would like to do, but in game screenshots can't capture dialogue, unfortunately.
They don't work during dialogue?

But even then, the dialogue should be available in the text window after you go through it, IIRC.

When will the next update be ready?

Choices and consequences time!

Does everyone want me to

A.) Skip the screenshot gap of Shepard and crew doing a lot of sidequests and get an update sooner with the possibility of Shepard going black in time at a later date to recreate the screenshots.

B.) Wait awhile while I get the stamina to backtrack.

C.) This is like that thing fake skyway was talking about.

Discuss!

Use fraps for screenshot capture.

Also, do a fake "previously on motherfucker Sheppard" about the sidequests with journal pics and character portraits talking.
