Ulcaster is child's play. The Firewine ruins is where it's at.

Help your friends Xzar and Monty against those irksome Harpers of course.

 

[Melcar]

Kill Xzar and the midget, and "accidentally" backstab Khalid. "There was nothing we could do Jaheira, I tried to help. Let's go over to my tent to talk things through".

 

[Naraya]

If you think these are bad then behold!

Fucking hell what did they do to Jaheira?!

'Shouldn't we be doing something useful with this time?!'

Jeet maxing.

I'm sorry, but gemrb is just too janky for a full playthrough. The pathfinding especially is annoying as fuck.

Watch survival of the fittest in practice, and retain the victors. I remember K&J easily won when I played umodded BG1 back in the day. The event would not work with BGT or TuTu. I assume you are using the EE version?

I never had interesting in-fighting. Most of the time characters would just melee one another.

Whoa, is it even WORSE than the real thing? I'm playing IWD2 now and dear god, the number of times one of my party members decided to take a WHOLE MAP DETOUR because someone happened to be in the doorway is starting to make me furious.

That's WAD for the Infinity Engine

The non-retarded option is to use ctrl+j. In the ice temple, in Monk Sanctuary, in Chult. Remapped to something easier to use, like tilde.

Going through Chult on IE pathfinding...

Oh right, I’m confusing the two. Firewine ruins is pure torture indeed.

Firewine ruins is pure torture indeed.

It was torture the first time I played. I remember having to place one character in the small chamber to avoid constant respawning, and the characters would always try to take a shortcut around the world instead of waiting a second for the blocking character to move.
But with TuTu and BGT the respawning was no longer an issue and the path finding was improved.

 

[Mr. Magniloquent]

Has anyone ever tried to slay the ghostly knights in Firewine ruins? I remember making the attempt a loooong time ago when I very first go into BG. I recall getting wrecked. Are they even proper undead? If so, maybe equip a fighter with the cursed sword of berserking and then slap a protection from undead scroll on them. I'm curious if anyone has ever defeated them.

Doesn’t dispel magic make them effectively unarmed?

I know I at least tried it in my run for the extra XP, but I don't recall exactly how hard it was or the specifics of what happened.

So have you guys heard of a Belgian fan made mod called BG3 on a DOS engine? Heard it kinda sucks but has better romances.

The BGII engine has a different spawn system, along with the improved pathfinding.

It was frustrating micro-managing through that dungeon. You had to click at a destination not too far away, and when one of the characters inevitably ran into something and started reversing, you had to click again to re-align them. As long as you kept clicking and nobody got stuck in a door, it was manageable with alcohol. Or at least that was my experience.

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

The Imoen romance mod and the online reaction to it was pretty funny. I miss the days when BG2 had a mod community.

I don't know who looks at either of Imoen's avatars and thinks "hubba hubba" though.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Yet again I shall remind them that the patrician's choice is this mod. Basically Cassia from RT before that was a thing. Abandoned before getting a ToB component unfortunately though.
