Baldur's Gate Beamdog's Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 Enhanced Editions

Viconia is overrated IMO. Her Magic Resistance is the only thing that sets her apart. Her low HPs is her main weakness and she was always the first one to die in hard fights when I played an evil party in BG2. I did use that Girdle of the Dwarves but I think it only lasts 8 hours per day.
I'd rather have "bad" Anomen in an evil party.

 

Don't actually like the Magic Resist on her because it makes my healing spells not work half the time.
I like her for the maxed Wisdom. STR and CON gear wasn't too hard to find.

But then, I haven't played that game in... wow, a decade now.

 

I don't mind female NPCs that come with bitchy predispositions a certain "personality" about them, but they ought to have some standards. Otherwise, they can practice their thumb twiddling skills at the first inn/camp that I can drop them at. Male NPCs that impersonate female NPCs with bitchy predispositions get outright ignored.

Also, a cleric that dies in BG1/2 parties ? How ?

 

Does it keep Paladin spell casting?

 

Note that this was only the case in unmodded BG1.

In BG2 (and by extension Tutu/BGT/BGEE) beneficial spells ignore the magic resistance of friendly targets.

 

AFAIK it does.

- must be eivl, but it's a matter of choise and only cost a few coins to compensate with donations.
- can't detect evi, what? I NEVER detected evil ..EVER!!!! ..they all dies just aswell.
- can't cast protection from evil, that silly spell that only last 3 rounds?
- can't cast lay on hands, it sucks anyways! He should be cutting things up in very fine pieces anyways, not trying to stich things together when a child m ..eh when a priest should do so instead! Besides he got that absorb health which slighty is the same.

these are the disadvantages (copy paste from baldursgate.com forums)

 

What? Gay. Way to turn a double-edged sword that forced you to make a tactical choice into popamole.

 

Still think Keldorn alone makes a good playthrough totally worth it. And as I said; Edwin will stick with a good party too so long as your reputation doesn't hit 20 and you're able to consistently convince Minsc and Keldorn not to kill him on the spot for being a prick.

 

Is there any way to make Myth work under Windows 7? Fan patches, etc?

 

Seems OP for a low level campaign, indeed. Not unlike the most of other kits derived from BG2...

Rebalanced classes are one of things one naturally expected in so-called remake. But no. That's too much for those guys! Design of proper level progression undoubtedly requires more than two brain cells.

 

There's a bug I remember from BG, where if you accept Edwin's quest and kill Dynaheir before ever interacting with Minsc you can convince him to join you, but the script file was bugged and it ended dialogue instead of adding him to your party. I had to mod the game files myself to debug it. With how sloppy this project is, I wouldn't be surprised if the bug is still there.

 

I liked that aspect as well. It made Viconia a bit less overpowered.

However, per PnP rules, magic resistant creatures can voluntarily lower their MR in order to allow spells to be cast on them. I guess Bioware initially missed that part, but they corrected it by the time BG2 was made.

 

thanks!


I wonder why would they overpower a character class as much as they did with the blackguard. It makes me kinda sad that D&D classes are getting useless buffs so they can get the attention of the average MMORPG player.

 

Speaking of BG annoyances/features, the NPCs had, of course, randomly placed interjections. The absolutely horrible drawback was that this would break them out of stealth.

 

Lol @ the retarded way they implemented the Blackguard kit. There was already a mod for that kit and it was much better balanced - a fighter kit with some drain health abilities, weapon poisoning, undead summoning, no paladin abilities, not allowed to dual-class.

 

In BG2 your reputation enemies

How these hacks have the nerve to release such a bug ridden pile of garbage for $20 despite there being free mods that are way superior is beyond comprehension. And they want to do BG3? Right...

 

I want to be a Godslayer

 

Funny how Myth looks better. I can sort of see the art style they were going for with some of the new areas, but it is done in a supremely lazy way and does not match the original game at all. The Cloud Peaks have these really nasty low-res textures and sharp polygon edges that look like they were half-finished, and the rest of the areas are detailed but very blurry. Part of that is simply modern rendering and colour depth - I imagine they lowered the number of colours in backgrounds in the originals to save file size, which made them look sharper and "pop" more - but part of it just seems like their 3D artist didn't give a shit.
