Baldur's Gate I & II - Gather your party before venturing forth

Yeah the villains on the show (Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale) always referred to Rocky and Bullwinkle as "Moose and Squirrel"

I finished Siege of Dragonspear yesterday, overall I like the campaign, don't get me wrong. There are two things that bug me big time, so much in fact, that I have decided to ignore the dlc in my head canon . My Bhaal spawn is exploring north and Ten-Towns while this whole crusade is going on. It is completely another Bhaal spawn who is showing the business end of chicken to Caelar. Explanations in under spoiler tag.

Protip: In the Wild Forest, Jan's ammo summoning ability counts as magic as far as wild surges go.

He ended up Gating in a demon along with a bunch of skull-shaped turnips. Hilarity ensued.

Bah, wish I knew about that Skie mod. BUt it looks like the content starts in Irenicus's dungeon, and I'm way past that.

Next time though.

From what little I could find, Amber Scott wanted to "correct" the parts of Safana she found "problematic"; namely, Safana being a selfish, hedonistic, manipulative Chaotic Neutral bitch . Apparently, Scott found the whole Safana's Femme Fatale trope outdated and sexist, which is ironic since her own take on the character could be considered Slut Shamming . Honestly, if they were going to change the character that much, it would have been better to create a new character to be an "improved" Safana. Not to mention the potential plot hole of how she goes back to old ways in Badur's Gate 2.

They just had to explain how/why Immy went from a thief to a thief/mage in BG II 

Oh there's a mod for that? Installing it asap! Thank you officer!

Mod for Skie. I can happily start a new pt now (jk, I won't start again anytime soon, but it is nice to know it is there:) )

I couldn't launch BG2 recently after a Steam update. But the problem seemed to fix itself after a reboot.

Resting at the Copper Coronet with Aerie and Neera in the party led to a really bizarre adventure involving a "Red Wizard spy"...

I like the Enhanced Editions.  Runs better on modern systems. Most mods at his point are compatible with EE. Several new companions, each with personal quests. New kits. A new class (shaman).

Since I can't play EE anymore (yes, problem is not solved), I can't recommend it. And the new companions are meh. Neera is downright annoying, I kicked her out very soon. The sorcerer is kind of funny and a good edition for an evil party, but he works with my mostly good party too. I tried the half orc and the monk too, both are decent, but a bit overpowered
