"Normal" is the default on BG2 - damage reduction on player, instant max hp, instant learn spells
All my life, including my late tactics teens, I had to switch to the easiest to get max hp and 100% chance to learn spells.

Fuck your dad.

Post the P*lish BG1 and 2 config or in-game difficulty tooltip. I'm curious.

This is from my EXTRA SUPER KKKLASSIC cRPG KKKOLEKTION 4in1.

BG2.jpg


- Insane.
- Difficult.
- Standard.
- Easy. <--
- Novice.

And it seems the default is... easy? Was I always changing it to Normal? Or maybe ToB changed it? Do I have fake memories?
Hmm... my autism wants me to install my 20 years old BG2 discs... But something tells me it might be a ToB thing.

My vanilla BG2 copy refuses to cooperate. Perhaps Core is not the default, but my pr0 gam0r soul always made me switch to "Standardowy".

Polish localization at work. They decided Core Rules was standard and Normal was Easy.

I installed a retail, CD copy of Shadows of Amn for a few clips and it indeed defaults to Normal. As far as I recall, it always defaulted to Normal.

So RPG Poledex has been playing on "Easy" all this time.....damn I wouldn't want to be Polish right now.

Fuck you Ed. Everybody switched to "Standardowy/Core" during the obligatory first config.
Even my normie n00b friends had permadeath anecdotes.

It is you who has been playing on "łatwy". All of us switched to core rules ("standardowy"), because who plays games on easy? Westerners, apparently.

I really wonder how many westerners believe the "normal" is really the default. I guess it is, but it shouldn't be. Are you also playing scs with additional damage resistance?

Why would I play with mods? I'm not a cheater.
SCS is literally the best mod for BG/BG2 unless you're a storyfag who plays on Novice just for the story.

Also filtered Lilura, much to his continual butthurt.

Edit: Roguey's butthurt as well apparently.
