Wasn't there a bug in the game where some absurd number of real life hours had to pass before it will proceed, rather than in-game hours?

How does weapon immunity work?

This is what it says on the wiki for Raksasha’s

They are immune to weapons up to either +2 or +3

It says they’re immune up to +2/+3 weapons but I’m still able to hit them with +1/2 weapons but +3 doesn’t work at all?

Other way around. If they are immune up to +3 weapons, +1 and +2 weapons won't work on them.

Well non-magical weapons didn’t work and neither did +3, only +1/+2 so it’s a bug I guess.

What is the highest roll anyone ever had in BG? I had a 97 which I clicked through, now I'm playing a 95 paladin.

 

[ga♥]

More than 100 i think, but I used a autoroller mod, basically it keeps rolling for you.

Anyway having high stats is basically useless, especially the mental ones so it was just for flavour.

Apparently, intelligence affects what you can say. For example to Elminstah when you meet him in the beginning of the game.

I roll manually.

If you are playing a original unmodded/unpatched game (don't know about the EEs) then you will find plenty of "little" bugs like that.

You mean in BG1 in beregost or at the crossroad out of candlekeep? Didn't know about it still mostly flavour, stat checks are very few in the game.
And they are usually unconsequential (just sometimes a bigger reward with high CHA, but could let someone else talk in your stead).

At the crossroads, after Gorion gets owned based on the main character being struck by fear and Sarevok's presence. Elminstah appears in Beregost? I play BG:EE without mods.

ElminstER appears in Beregost yes, I think when you come back from the Naskhel mines IIRC

When you get level drained, it takes away your EXP??? I now need 420k instead of 200k on Anomen to level up to level 11??? My main got level drained and he kept his EXP, wtf is this bugged?

That was how it worked in 1st Ed. You lost XP until you cast Restoration on the guy, and then you get it back. However, I am pretty sure you lost the XP you gained in the meantime as you always end up with a different XP compared to the rest of your party afterwards. I noticed that in the Gold Box games. Perhaps BG implemented the same thing.

Is there any way to install the widescreen mod for vanilla bg without totsc 1.1.4315?

Soo I killed the weaker lichens so I could revive Kangaax, my party is around level 10

and dead in 10 seconds


WTF is chain contingency

Glorious. Remember this feeling because once you've sorted all of this out, it's gone forever.

I tried breaching the fuck but it’s not working and my buffs run out because by the time I’m done casting the ones I need are already gone

 

[Cael]

That one spell made that fight so much easier and that not many people realise it was pretty funny.

He is supposed to be an end game challenge. You can do it in Chapter 2 but it's not super easy.

After you kill him, be sure to head over to Twisted Ruin for tea and crumpets.

If you duel/multi class do you lose out on level 8/9th cleric and Druid spells?

Jaheria and myself only go up to 7th level and Anomen.

In 2nd edition, divine spells only go up to level 7 and arcane spells go up to level 9. So druids and clerics cap at 7th level spells.

There are no 8th/9th level divine spell. Goddamn zoomer with no knowledge of best D&D.

On this note, smaug you should really RTFM.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

RTFM only to find out multi-class druid/fighter aren't allowed to wear metal armor and the game itself is wrong
