Baldur's Gate The Baldur's Gate Series Thread

That means my blog will become the ONLY venue on the internet that bans EE/BG3 fans from expressing their retarded opinions.

So only BG1/BG2 retarded opinions will be expressed there, I guess.

Nah, Lilura won't allow you to comment on her authoritative blog.

Getting back on-topic, I like Baldur's Gate. It's the greatest D&D-based RPG ever made, and the 4th greatest RPG of all-time.

I really wish I cared.

Your Skyrim thread and General Gaming are calling.

Sorry*, I lied.
I actually don't care that I don't care.

I lied about this part too, it turns out.
I am not sorry.

Lilura On https://lilura1.blogspot.com/2017/08/Best-Classes-Baldurs-Gate-and-Baldurs-Gate-2.html you recommend stats for an Elf Conjurer, but I don't see this as an option in character generation. What gives?

 

[Lilura]

Fixed.

I found this entry in NI for Elminster:
"I am...a wanderer of the realm not unlike thyself, and thou have caught my notice. I would ask thee a riddle, just as a point of interest for me, and I have a gift if thy answer is correct. A simple test of logic is thus: you have a mother who had four children. Two were twin girls of quiet demeanor, to be named Spring and Summer. The third child, a hellion of a boy, was named autumn. What was the given name of the fourth and final child?."

Under given response it says: The player must manually enter his answer. The correct response is his own name.

I wonder where they were going with this? It doesn't fit for the doppleganger Elmister to say this. And the third child sounds like Sarevok. I'll try and get a screenshot up.

Spoiler

Has anyone ever discussed this in the past?.

I restarted my play through of BG2 and the Icewind Dale merchant (Joviel, I think) is not in copper coronet and the shadow thieves guild quest has me getting a statue from the temple of lathander instead of Talos.

???

 

[Deadyawn]

I think which temple you steal from is based on your alignment

 

[hell bovine]

Afaik it's based on reputation.

What version are you playing? The EE? Does that have the merchants installed? Only time that ever happened to me was when I installed a mod that screwed with the copper cornet. I was on the original CDs that I ordered from America.

That shadows thieves quest is according to your alignment, if I remember correctly.

Sounds like it'll really foster constructive discourse, go for it.

Hmm. First I see you've emptied your extensive Codex ignore list and now you've allowed comments on your blog. What madness is this?

This confinement crap is turning into geek's paradise. So many exciting new videos to be made, and, most importantly, watched.

I've unearthed some forgotten DnD lore:

Liluracor +2 bastard sword, +5 against "scrubs" (whatever that might be)

Liluracor constantly prattles about "optimization", often mentioning topics that make no sense to its wielder and as far as they can tell are not even actual things in the world they inhabit such as THAC0, saving throws, min-maxing or "Git gud, scrub". This incessant prattle eventually drives the wielder insane resulting in weapon changing hands quite often.

Each time the sword prattles on (in practice every round it is drawn - luckily the scabbard muffles it somewhat rendering its prattle unintelligible, if still irritating - the sword doesn't seem aware of being sheathed) its wielder must make a wisdom saving throw or became confused for 2 rounds (as if affected by Confusion or similar spell). As the effect ends the wielder is required to make another wisdom saving throw - successful throw will cause them to throw away (drop) Liluracor, while failed throw will cause the confusion to become permanent unless cured via magical means.

That's why I love Codex.

Is there anyway I can make a custom party while using BGT, because I don’t have a multiplayer option.

 

[GarfunkeL]

Your installation is borked. You can definitely make a custom party in BGT. Just start a Multiplayer game as a host, create your party - I would recommend 5 instead of 6 so that in BG2 you have an easier time doing NPC quests but if you don't care about those then by all means make six. Start the game, save, and then copy your save over from MPSaves to Saves folder so you can continue it in SinglePlayer.
