  • (weird sidenote: best game ever! party of 4 insanity <3) just some mumbo-jumbo My decoy had an AC of 74 ^^ tricky shait. the dragon and the bone-skeles don't really like that ^^ Thy could still hit you: Thac0 of 56 and 62, IIRC good game :D
  • ^I run 2 different "installations" or rather duplicated the base-install to a different folder - both are working as intended and unlock achievements just fine. 1 is basic vanilla install and the other is modded - because I messed up my mod install to prior patches more than once. Currently trying to finally beat ToB after…
  • And why would you Aerie? THe most important spell-slots for a cerlic are 1-4 and having 21 WIS gets you like a crapton of bonus. Anomen gets to 5* prof despite his level. Aerie just sucks She can't a barn...... Anomen swings FoA 3 times a round..... edit: you acxtually heal? I chuck potions......as they are abundant edit:…
  • why does everyone hypes silly Aerie - she is the most pointless character in the whole game. Do you actually read your comment? Aerie caps out on level 22 cleric......Anomen gets to level 38 or some. He gets bonus spells! It's the most useless chara<cter in the whole game
  • MC: Kensai/Mage (13->x) PC: Kensai/Thief (13->x) PC: Skald (/w RR) - support-caster, else singing (lingering song HLA doesn't break support casting) Jaheira Viconia (MR resi and overall face-tank) Edwin Works with SCSII (hardcore) + Spell & Item Revision. Had some issues with a couple of spell changes first, but adapted…
  • Looks nice! Only nitpicking is spell-revision/SCSII, but as it concerns mods it's also my fault. >:) If I use the basic interface @1080p, without downscaling to the old BG2 interface, the difference is rather minor and mostly visible in Bubb's Spell menu, else you won't notice a thing. Becomes more obvious, if I use EEex…
  • While it's kinda necro - there wasn't a proper answer... Oddly, I got it bugged as well; cause I somewhere missed the runner or he got stuck... An easy fix is either to use eekeeper or nearinfinity to open the *gam file of the save and set the global variable 'KPRUNNERSPAWN=1' to 0. After reloading the runner appeared…
  • Couldn't really pin-point the cause as well, but a few things, that do seem to help to kinda prevent this. (though, there is often a thought-chatline in paranthesis, that's once it's getting displayed in smaller font cripples the chat as well) - alt-tabbing, while any kind of chat/dialog is open (record/journal/etc seem to…
  • according some comment from CamDawq, they implemented the whole 'item upgrade mod' but emmerich doesn't sell the +1 quivers, bags, cases...checked in NI and they are completely missing. (from "item upgrade") The convenient ammo upgrade for the regular game is still an awesome mod - modified the old item upgrade mod though,…
  • There are also enough locations to get "free" rep-loss depending on your decision, or you can just get caught by 'accident' while pickpocketing - there are enough houses in Beregost alone :) Or if your rep is already pretty high, just kill some innocent in a house. Else without spending money I think you can barely reach…
  • There are a few that are quite nasty or specially the HoF version, ie Nimbles Cat Tail (+3/+3/ +3 dex) or the ultimate Sling of Pain (+9! damage/+5thac0) but that's a random drop and am note quite sure if it can be acquired in a normal game as well. And another can be bought in the trade post at the beginning, the HoF…
  • @Anton Fucking awesome! (2nd song)..love yer Countries' and states language anyway. (hope I didn't insult you cause of yer heritage or for whatever else reason) Cause I drink once in a while and do loose my mind :Þ Counter it with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDJNTd18ANA [no offense meant ^^] edit: I wish I'd see them…
  • uhm..I need to re-read all postings since my last one. Damn it was all about smoking, now it's all women? *checks the topics* hmm, weird ain't nothing wrong here :> And even narutard-pictures are now showing up....holy F.
  • I 2nd this! :P She pretty good in wasting gold....
  • Nope, you won't :P Reminds me at the youngest child of a friend of mine, barely 5 and can handle Super Mario like a Pro. Why is always super mario involved in that age? Ah I was 'allowed' to play a level for him while he watched and gave me hints&tricks...I felt humiliated! *uhm* topic..tried like a million of times to…
  • @LukevanV *w00t* ! I think we have something similar in Germany to 'Oliebollen' as well, but it's sadly a local specialty found in only some regions. And since I moved it's hard to get them... It should be the same as I spent several holidays in Netherlands (don't ask..k? ^^) and was lucky to try them at least once. (else…
  • @Ligg Lets just wait for a response then. IMO it was ever since working that way but restricted to certain classes. So my guess there are 'other' files that needs or can be edited to change that. Some time ago I had the Sharpshooter-Kit (thief) installed and gave it a try and was stuck to the basic ApR (bow 2, Xbow 1 etc)…
  • @moopy Yeah I understand, it's kind of a major change with pretty big consequences at all. And I doubt it was indeed intentional. Still I'd like to see how things would turn out if I'd change it in my running BG2 game - if that is even possible. Or at least restrict ranged weapon from spec/GM bonus, so only F/P or Ranger…
  • thx too :P Would love to know if it's possible to undo or mod the change 'easily', might wanna test/use a limited version in BG2 too.
  • Arrows are at least already corrected and launcher & projectile set to 100 feet. So the restriction to not fire in a characters' own fog of war is set somewhere else.
  • I honestly doubt that, then at least some fixpack would have corrected it or made it an optional fix. Seeing it ever since that way in BG1/BG2/IWD1/IWD2 and was never changed, so that must have been a terrifying bug, that no one could fix ever since :) Check ie Dagger & Darts in BG2, create a Fighter, give him 5 pips in…
  • If you check BG2 items/bows, they also are "set to 1" (1) and "modified to 2 ApR" (2) and it was ever since. Both numbers/options are identical to BGEE, so the change was done in a different way, cause Bows/Xbows in BG2 can still be affected by Fighter-class level ApR changes or specialization/GM.
  • BG2 'balanced' their ranged weapon in their own way, like no damage bonus to arrows, 1/2 or 1/3 of the 1d6 elemental damage and as mentioned above no real +DAM to composite bows. If that is getting 'fixed' the way it is supposed to work, I don't mind the 2ApR restriction according PnP. An archer under these modified…
  • I could imagine to get it working that way, but then Composite Bows should also get a proper damage bonus. Think BG2 tuned them down, cause of their high RoF + mastery + bonus attacks, but there are some Comp. Bows +2/+3 that only give you a tiny damage bonus as supposed to; ie Heartseeker +3 should get +4/+4..Ripper +2 ->…
  • Partially, I do use only 2 major condition blocks for attacking & defending and 2 lesser conditions for ranged attacker moving & turn undead. "Ease Of Use AI" is more like 30times bigger and has some automated stuff in it, which I don't really like. re-used the targeting function from eSeries, so it can be done within one…
  • 2 posting above yours it seems to be possible even within the core rules. Also plz mention the page from the manual, as the IWD1 is similar and doesn't have it included. EE' did just copy whatever it found reasonable to include in theirs. I guess you are dual-wielding like every1 else and don't care about the already…
  • So you are saying: Ladiiiiiiiiiiiiies and Gentlemen, in the left corner the most psycho killer dwarf, who recently got his hands on CromFeayr (in his left hand) and Flail of LOL in his mainhand, boosted by his very awesome trainer Edwin by Improooooooooooooooved Haste! *y<ayayayayayaya* In the right corner....the awesome…
  • nope ammo stacking wouldn't work nonetheless :) And never used it any way...(kinda: fix/tweakpack/atweaks/SCSII/tobex/tactics currently running in a specific order and left out sub-mods which do interfere) [and I do use haste ^^ but I take that spell lightly and only for trash-encounter] Despite that, arguing about which…
  • Hmm, you'd argue for BGEE it is within limits or at least 'okay', cause ranged classes are superior. But in BG2 they are not..if they'd be that capped they never catch up to 25 STR dual-wielding psychos or even 1-handed weapons-wielder. And as already mentioned, countless critter just ignore your stupid arrows/bolts anyway…
  • with a nifty @ZanathKariashi :P 'd love if you can name the reference, my 'paper' reading material is partially gone or stored at my grandparents or borrowed or... Currently trying to catch up older stuff but have to rely on PDF instead. [if possible the true title and if it's revised or not and so on? Would be really…
