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

I'm playing BG1 with TuTu.
I just checked my WeiDu log to make sure I had chosen the happy patch in BG2 Tweaks.
(NPCs can be angry about reputation but never leave (Salk): v9)
But apparently Shar-Teel never read the WeiDu log, and left on account of us being a bunch of do-gooders.
I guess the happy patch doesn't cover BG1 npc's.
Now if I could only remember which inn Safana said she was going to wait at.

glad you've liked it

I got the ring!

I got it very early this time around.
I only have a party of two, My Thief dualled to Fighter, and Viconia, no magic until we get Imoen back.
Just got Daystar from the Lich, (Got in grabbed it and got out while he was still buffing himself)
Then did the Unseeing Eye to get the bones and the Girdle of Fortitude.
The battle in the sewers was the hardest part. (I usually rely on wands to soften them up a bit, but no magic user)
I just did the cheesy Protection from Undead on Kangaxx.
I wasted a scroll on Viconia as well, I thought afterwards that I should have just given her the Cloak of the Sewers and had her sit in mustard jelly form.
Anyway, Bodhi has been true to her word and got us to Brynnlaw.
It shouldn't be too hard to convince them I'm crazy and get thrown in the asylum.

Edit: I spoke too soon, turns out I don't have enough charisma to be insane (I sold the ring from the circus already.)

Yeah I vaguely remember doing that in the past.
This time I freed Jaheira and Minsc in the dungeon thinking I'd get the XP for it, but you don't.
You only get the XP for having them join you. (which I didn't do, because I wanted all the dungeon XP for myself.)
I had brought in Angelina from BG1, already dualled to fighter and wanted to stay solo for a bit to level up quickly.

Yeah, it's bridging content between BG1 and BG2.

Though some of the characters do behave rather ooc...

Still a decent adventure, if you can get past that.

Currenttly playing BG1:EE with a full custom party, never done that before.



it's a blast so far, all these 90 rolls or higher

Archer will be dualed into a Cleric at level 12, Shadowdancer will de dualed into a mage at level 13 (=max backstab for class)

Also really enjoy having a max lore Bard. All that money saved, damn.

edit: I will edit the alignment of the Shadowdancer in BG2 to Chaotic Good, as it has come to my attention that there's only one Robe of the Neutral Archmagi in BG2 and that will have to go on the Gnome.

Didn't know about those! Thanks

My Archer was sitting at around 70% of a full party's kills when I played one through BG1. Granted, I was using the game's actual joinable NPC's (including the likes of Quayle and Alora) for the other 5 instead of creating a full custom party that's almost guaranteed to be more powerful, thus spreading the kills around a bit more instead of the Archer Bhaalspawn doing all the murdering.

Just started chapter 7, so I'll probably beat the game tomorrow and start Shadows of Amn with the same party. Finally time to dual

Edit: ugh, just discovered I made a mistake. A dual classed Archer/Cleric can't use bows.

That's terrible, wasted all those tomes of wisdom on him Ugh, I might have to edit that. Put the 3 wisdom on the Fighter/Cleric and just leave the Archer an Archer for the entirety of the game.

Or maybe make him a Fighter dualed into a Priest, with 5 pips in slings. I'll probably do that.
