This patch bugged Baldurs Gate EE. I just killed Silke in Beregost and suddenly all party members got 25 strength.

All my guys have 25 strength too. Is it garret? I started an old save from shortly after I killed her. It lists nothing about why I have this in the buffs/effects section. Any idea on how to get rid of this?

This Bhaal Difficulty is interesting.. It took me 2 minutes of kiting one of the bounty hunters around candlekeep to kill him..
Any way to turn off the HP bloat? It's pretty poorly tuned IMO..

I think it's meant to appeal to someone who has been playing this game nonstop for the past 15 years and has gotten tired of every other challenge mod out there. Just reading the description was enough to make me understand I'm not touching it, hell just SCS installed is getting frustrating enough already and it doesn't cheat for the NPCs in any meaningful way (no increased damage, thaco, health, etc.).

By the way finally figured out what makes my game stutter when I use the dragon disciple flame breath and fireballs:

https://www.reddit.com/r/baldursgat...ebg2ee_terrible_performance_with_fire_sprite/

https://forums.beamdog.com/discussi...g-on-npcs-causing-very-low-fps-bgee-and-bg2ee

What an odd little bug. It's literally only the fire sprites that make the FPS drop. Well, that and the new zoom out map animation implemented on the 2.0 patch, now.

The sprite outline thing is also quite bizarre to me. Slows the game down to a crawl, even though it looks terribly simple and non-graphics intensive.

Oh man, look at that location names fonts. It's so fuckin jarring and out of place.
And now compare it with the old style,

Imagine if the dude that is in charge of these aesthetic design decisions will also "revamp" Fallout.
Boyarsky will turn in his Blizzard grave!


I laugh at how now it says "destination unreachable." Locations being grayed out is not enough it seems. It most be moron proof!
Much UI improve! :troll:

As with nearly every other change to the UI, my reaction is "Who the fuck thought this would be a good idea?"... Seriously, if you're going to make changes, make sure they actually improve the thing you're changing.

I would have bought BG:EE because of the expansion if it was on sale on GOG too. On Steam though, no.

One of the more important questions is are Steam achievements working? :obviously:

There should be an achievement whore emoticon on the codex. :negative:

Just be thankful they didn't go with this design. And yes, this was an actual design they asked on the forums. I don't think 6 compasses were enough. I'm sure they could have added another one or two more.

There was talk in the stream about Pillars of Eternity. It was praised as very good game although not perfect. PoE2 should surpass this to the perfection.
No idea why they are crawling in Obsidian's ass to be nice. Sawyer couldn't care less about SoD (not surprising as a BG hater and Fallout 4 Bethesda retardo-fag) and Avellone left.... Maybe it has something to do with Feargus and Feargus and Cain, I dunno.
I know it is shocking, but not everybody is an asshole in the world like in the Codex. Sometime people are just being nice, they might like things what another company makes.

Metal Hurlant , lol, this looks like something made with tools like this: https://secure.profantasy.com/default.asp Are those green things palms?

Then the artist took the picture and put together vector replicas of the areas' icons. Vector replicas! Of dnd map drawings!

At least they didn't adopt that... I'm waiting for reviews. I don't know the situation but this may have been some early draft, proof of concept, etc.

BTW, I'm preparing a 2d dnd style map myself for a side project I'm doing. I expect the Codex to provide solid criticism, but it's not ready yet.

How are the NPC's? Did we get a new lesbian vampire? Perhaps a female half-thiefling/half-drow lich that is lawful good and follow Lathander?

Probably so that PoE wouldn't be on sale today like D:OS.

So the codex has been bitching about the UI for several pages, and nobody is talking about the actual content?

I am playing Geneforge 1 currently, do you really think i care about a good looking UI? Its nice to have, nothing more.

People in chatroom asked them questions about PoE. They gave pretty honest opinion.

Also, Chris Avellone and Mark Meer apper in the stream.

It might be a surprise to imcuck but Pillows is considered to be a good game outside of the Codex.

Anyway, any actual opinions on this expansion? Specifically about combat encounters, item design, etc...?

Another schmuck that thinks that a good UI is something negligible.

Not completely, but there are definitely more important parts to gamedesign than how an UI looks, im not talking about functionality here just so you know.

I was just hoping that people would be talking about the actual gameplay you know, because thats far more important to me than drooling over a beautiful UI of a fucking bland game.

This black outline gives the sprites a very cartoonish look on the screenshots. Does it look better in motion or does it look best when disabled?

So, it looks like the first achievements you get in the game are:

Is it possible to import classic Baldur's Gate characters for the expansion ?
