#276446 Rune Assassins

Posted by Gort on 28 December 2006 - 07:32 PM in Big Picture

well, right after getting out of building, I set a couple of traps (hate metagaming, but still). Second - my stoneskinned sorcerer went ahead and as soon as he received 1st strike he hit asasssin with Aganazzar's scorcher from wand and started walking around, hitting all of them with it. Repeated until they all were dead. The rest of the party used true sight and killed 1 or 2 who was close to them.

#276359 BG original opening movie

Posted by Gort on 27 December 2006 - 08:01 PM in BGT Archive

I find it annoying, too=). Right after installation, add these strings at the end of baldur.ini and you will be able to skip movie:

[MOVIES]
INTRO15F=1
BGINTRO=1
INTRO=1

I don't remember exactly which line matches the first intro, most likely "BGINTRO=1"

#275974 Kit and xp cap needed

Posted by Gort on 25 December 2006 - 05:33 AM in IE Help

that's called cheating, not powergaming=). I believe you can have only 1 kit at once. And afaik sorcerer cannot be multi- or dualclassed. XP cap is easily raised by editing XPcap.2da (override folder). Just set all values to -1

#274987 BG2 Storyline Improvements!

Posted by Gort on 19 December 2006 - 02:32 AM in IE Mod Ideas

I still want the choice I thought I was going to be given when I was about midway through SOA--the choice to ally with Irenicus.  He gives such a lovely reason, one that would tempt even a good NPC to (eventually) fall: "Think of all the innocents that will be hurt if you *don't* embrace your power." (I am paraphrasing).

I think it would be possible--Jon wants the power to gain godhood; he doesn't really care whether or not he kills the PC.

So--the PC could ally with him to destroy the tree & gain godhood for one or both of them.

If he really wants a Bhaalspawn soul--there are *plenty* of those around.  Depending on the PC, there's the possibility of dragging someone else in, or of ditching Bhodi & Imoen & having him keep Immy's soul for himself. By the time the PC has reached Spellhold, s/he is really a better ally than Bhodi & he doesn't strike me as the sort who would stick by his sister if offered a better chance.

I prefer playing a goody-two-shoes player myself, but it'd be nice to *choose* whether or not I wanted to save that Elven city, or Imoen, or anyone else.

it is a serious alteration, and I don't like it very much. I think Jon needs powerful soul, that's why he chooses main char

#274075 Why missile weapons are much more accurate than they should and melee

in keymap.ini?

#274014 Why missile weapons are much more accurate than they should and melee

Posted by Gort on 12 December 2006 - 05:35 PM in IE Help

I didn'y notice such thing. Are you sure about every shot? Bow usually shoots more often, than, say, 2h sword. Also, AC does not decrease further than -25 (just in case you forgot it). As far as I remember, in the of BG1 my main tank with boots of avidance and a large shield almost never got hit by range weapons.

#273280 how about IWD2?

Posted by Gort on 07 December 2006 - 10:14 PM in IE Mod Ideas

There is some mod that ports IWD's casting graphics to BG2

#272137 DEFJAM - Ding0 Experience Fixer

i always use it when playing BGT: 50% exp for killing, 25% for locks and traps

#272074 Unique Artifacts

Posted by Gort on 29 November 2006 - 02:06 PM in Miscellaneous Released Mods

Of course, an alternative (but more time consuming) method would be to write new descriptions for each of the duplicate items. Perhaps start the descriptions with things like "this particular pair of boots of speed..."

I just did as I liked, no more, no less. Writing new descriptions seems to me as if you suggest to bg2fixpackers change descriptions to match items rather than change items to match their descriptions. It is possible, but I personally do not like it.

#271122 A mage trio

Posted by Gort on 23 November 2006 - 01:38 PM in IE Mod Ideas

so, anyone else willing to join us?

#270989 A mage trio

Posted by Gort on 22 November 2006 - 05:54 PM in IE Mod Ideas

well, I might be the one who is willing to code=). I know almost nothing, but I'm sure it's not too complicated. I can't write banters (my english is truly terrible, I believe), and all I can do is code. However, I promise nothing right now. Also, a few ideas about apprentices and their relationship are already in my head (a couple of miniquests, maybe). So, who is really want to make a try with me?)

#270956 Instalation failture

Posted by Gort on 22 November 2006 - 11:18 AM in BGT Archive

AFAIK according to latest instructions, before the installation you should disable all cdroms, both virtual and and real

Posted by Gort on 20 November 2006 - 08:58 AM in IE Mod Ideas

I like the idea, i think it would be cool also if apprentices would make some items when they levelups
