    Fucker, it's right above the inn. You can't miss it unless you're an aspie completionist aiming straight for Naskell.

    Just go ahead and play it if you are so interested. Or just watch gameplay on youtube. That's what I did, there's records of whole streams so you can skip around to encounters.

    Complain more, especially about a game whose best item is hidden in a tree stump 15 minutes in.

    It's been a long time since I played original BG1, but I remember that on a subsequent playthrough where I used the Dudleyville patch that added hints telling you where the hidden items are, I was able to amass a surprisingly large fortune in the early game. It's like Fallout in that an experienced player can do stuff quicker than you might think.

    But perhaps those items should be converted to hidden caches ala PoE.

    Hegel is the best baldurs gate player in the world. He knew the extact 12 pixels to click.. He could sense it.

    The new items aren't remotely hidden. The existing items are in tab highlighted containers.. defeating the whole point of hiding anything.

    Wow begging for positive reviews. :lol:

    If you thought beamdog hit rock bottom, they just found a shovel and a note saying: dig more.

    I'm more interested if its fixable and/or what changed gameplaywise than spoiling the story for me.

    But I guess trying to get useful infos out of here is pointless because only few of here have actually played the game.

    Of course, nobody sane would go through this without knowing if it's decent in the first place from somebody who is not a shill. Why don't you do the sacrifice? :M

    I'd rather remain ignorant on that subject.

    They could've, you know, hired a competent writer and avoided having to beg on their forums for positive reviews. The tranny is just a symptom of a much larger problem. The tranny herself is not the problem, but the way they included her and the context in which she appears. This can only be rectified by having a competent writer.

    Just pulling your hair, I've never played EE so I wouldn't know.

    I think it's interesting to point out that container highlighting wasn't available in BG1,from what I remember. It was only added by applying mods like BGT or Tutu, and thus it's a feature that appeared on BG2 and IWD first. In fact, I believe dudley's walkhrough gave you coordinates to find stuff like the ring of protection and the ring of wizardry,among others. You had to check the coordinates with a cheat or something like that.

    Tutu only added the container highlighting because it uses the BG2 engine.
    When those items were originally implemented.. they were meant to be hidden and very difficult to find. That was the magic and excitement behind them.

    They should have been removed or put somewhere else for EE with container highlighting removed.

    Yup. I remember I had the coordinates on a notepad document on my desktop. Never did find that ring of wizardry until years later. Which is a shame. Its perhaps the most important ring for Mages in the game.

    I need to get off the Beamdog forums. They are lowering my IQ.

    And now this:

    :lol: :lol: :lol:

    It's great to see how desperately they're projecting and sjwsplaining when they didn't get the millions. How could it be???? They shoehorned PC shit into the game, why doesn't it work????

    inb4 Beamdog starts a Patreon crying about abuse.
