Animate is actually the wizard's name and it's pronounced animatey.

Dr. Quarex posted:It is an interesting question but since you need a corpse to cast the spell in the tabletop version surely it is actually the verb form, even if it makes perfect sense either way There are adjective noun constructions in spell names indicating the creation of something magically (ex. Chromatic  ) but most conjuring or creation of things with sustained substance tend to be verb based.

Just saw this post on facebook. Looks like we could actually be seing the big conversion mod soon for NWN 2.Baldur's Gate Reloaded Facebookpage posted:I'm happy to announce to that Shadows of Amn: Reloaded is now entirely playable from start to finish! This is a major milestone for the project, and we're incredibly excited to polish, bugfix, and balance the game over the next several months.

Modding Question: For BG1, is "mod merge" still a necessary first-install if you're modding BG:EE and have Siege of Dragonspear installed?

Yes, but DLCMerger is preferable these days I believe. It can be installed as another WeiDu mod, which is good. Should be installed before anything else, of course.

Interesting. I ask because my installation of BG1 was rather crash-happy and now I’m in BG2 and the game is rock solid. Same general collection of mods with the exception of not needing mod merge, UB1, or the banter pack.

My BG1 also became a train crash after DLC merge. Not sure if that's evidence but it's the only time I've really had an IE game crash with that frequency.

I also couldn’t get EEex to work on my BG1 install without it crashing at save-loading. Maybe I’ll give it a shot on my BG2 installation. Edit: Nope, BG2 still crashes when save-loading after installing EEex and running InfinityLoader. Ah well. At least it's stable with the CDTweaks/IWDification/SoDUI++ mods installed. That's all I really care about. chaosapiant fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Mar 8, 2024 |

Question regarding multi-class strongholds: I'm playing a fighter/mage multiclass and am wondering how the stronghold given is decided. I know that you can only get one (sans mods) and that the one you get is the first one you take, basically. But how does that work specifically? I want the Planar Sphere instead of De'Arnise Keep for this playthrough; do I just do the Planar Sphere quest first? Or can I do either quest in either order but only "accept" the given stronghold once it's offered? I know De'Arnise is only offered after you do the question, for example, so am I free to explore De'Arnise keep and get that quest out of my log? Or would doing that first lock me into that as my stronghold?

You can decline De'Arnise and then accept the Sphere, as they're two separate quests: https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Stronghold Note for anyone else looking at this, according to the Tweaks Anthology you CANNOT decline the Druid Grove, Umar Hills (ranger stronghold), or Five Flagons Playhouse (bard) in an unmodded game. Tweaks Anthology fixes this with its multiple stronghold change.

If memory serves, the Planar Sphere is the "harder" of the two quests so it'd make sense to do De'Arnise first, but not if it locks me into that stronghold. And noted about the mod. I'm using that mod, but not that component because it's never interested me to run more than one stronghold. Thanks!

Yes, I agree, Planar Sphere is much harder (for example, it's the chapter 2/3 quest that introduces Breach). And I mostly made the comment about the mod in case anyone else is looking at it and wondering how it affects their game, since those strongholds aren't available to you as a fighter/mage.

I just go to the candlekeep secret library with all the dopplegangers. I always wondered how long the dopples had been in candlekeep. There are a ton of dead bodies in there.

All we know for sure is that they infiltrated Candlekeep after Gorion’s Ward left and before you return in Chapter 6. I think Sarevok’s diary also has a relatively detailed timeline of events.

Duderclese posted:I always got the idea that candlekeep is way bigger than we get to see in the game. Yes. The biggest omission that would greatly change the events of BG1 is Miirym, a ghost dragon who lives in the catacombs and slays anyone who tries to attack Candlekeep or its inhabitants. You can see how Chapter 6 wouldn’t be the same if she was there.

Figured out my game crashes were directly related to the SoD UI ++ mod. Removed it and no more crashes, plus I can use EEex now flawlessly.

There's a component in Level One NPCs to do that, but it's kind of a big hammer versus a very small nail if you don't want the stuff the mod normally does: https://gibberlings3.github.io/Documentation/readmes/readme-level1npcs.html

I'm looking for something where, if I want to bench Minsc for say Jan, then Jan won't be 47 levels lower in experience. It'd give me more incentive to keep a rotating bench. Edit: Regardless, thanks for the link!

Dangerously, depending on your mods and difficulty level. The gargoyle cloak is not one of the few items that transfers over from SoD so you have no crit immunity. They come "online" fairly early in BG2 and with ninjato of the scarlet brotherhood in the offhand they can definitely put out some good damage, just don't be surprised if they get blown up by a random crit because you drew the attention of a fire giant or dragon.
