    First reply makes a good point; if Apple passes this to the store than the only thing they had going for them over droid-based hardware (quality control) is gone :lol: .

    Do any of the BGT mods fix the druids though? I've installed a big modded game a few weeks ago, and I'm about to start it.

    I never used BGT. There are a few Shapeshifter Rebalancing mods, usually broken, because they allow spellcasting when shapeshifted. Some are included in all the tweaks and fixes.
    The best thing which happened with druids is this mod: http://www.gibberlings3.net/spell_rev/
    It really brings them up as best buffers and summoners. Also tones down two of the most imba spells in BG - Insect Plague and Nature's Beauty.

    If it bothers you that much, just activate cheats and use ctrl+j to teleport to where your cursor is. It makes replaying BG1 much better.

    You mean "nope, shadowkeeper doesn't work with th ee", or "nope, shadowkeeper can't change portraits of npcs"? I'm quite sure on the latter, and if it is the first, why doesn't shadowkeeper work with this? It assumed it would, after all the game is still using IE.

    Anyone remember where the best place to get Boots of Speed is? Preferably for my whole party?

    cheats because there is only 1 lootable pair in the game (atleast in the normal version of BG1), it is dropped by the enforcer party led by Drasus outside of Davaeorn's mine in chapter 4

    It does't percieve BGEE as Infinity game. Maybe copying character files somehow to regular BG from it and changing then would work, but it certanly not what'd I call "works with BGEE".

    I won't play BG EE(if I play it at all) until february, but I would be curious to know if this works. Maybe you can go ahead and test it?

    You can't in BG1, AFAIR. But otherwise GameBanshee has a pretty detailed item listing with locations.

    By the way, is there a fix for the Sorcerer class in BG2? Apparently, BG2 Sorcerer does not have any primary stats at all, and his spell progression is the same irrespective of what any of his stats are. Basically, a 18/18/18/9/9/9 Sorcerer is as good as a 9/9/9/18/18/18 Sorcerer as far as spell-casting goes. That's just dumb. You could just give a Sorcerer 10 INT for reading scrolls, leave CHA at 9, and maximize physical stats and WIS (for resisting spells) if your roll was high enough. That's just cheap and kills the fun of playing one of the best classes in D&D. And yes, I already did several searches for "BG2 Sorcerer Fix", "BG2 Sorcerer mod" and found nothing.

    That's... strange. I could have sworn the progression tables always worked fine in relation to CHA, are you sure about this? Not really doubting your word, just that I played it for years back when it first came out and I'm surprised I never noticed any discrepancy in the numbers, unless they just happen to assume you have max CHA for the memorization/known numbers no matter what.

    Although, if you're worried about "cheap", Sorceror/Wizard is the one class in BG2 you should never play.

    Only Boots of Speed in BG1 are carried by a named guard outside Cloakwood Mines.

    The only named guard in that area is Lakadaar and he only has Long Sword, Medium Shield, Splint Mail.

    and indeed

    Sorcerer uses intelligence according to the kit description, not charisma. I have no idea if stats matter. I doubt Overhaul fixed this though as they made no changes to any other kits.
