So does Korgan just really not like you clearing out the Umar Hills questline? I was looking at his affect flags in Shadowkeeper right before he left, which was right after I finished the quest, and they seem to be tied to quest events. Or is it just that I needed to grab his second quest sooner, regardless of what I was currently up to?

Edit: They likely refer to the tomb in the graveyard, not the temple in the hills. I probably just didn't need to take all those dungeon naps. Ah, the life of a murderhobo is sometimes confusing.

It's the same in BG2, as long as you have a single class cleric you can murder almost any undead. The exception is vampires and mummies because they tend to be a bit higher level, but even that isn't always the case.

Now with 100% less DoTA crotchshots
Here's a neat thing I've been wondering about: in IWD:EE (and maybe other versions as well) a shapeshifter doesn't turn back into human form when you dual-class into a fighter. Neither does he unequip any items that a fighter can use, either. I *think* shapeshift forms will benefit from an off-hand weapon, which is pretty neat-o.

If I wanted to, I could dual-class a level 13 shapeshifter with a +1 APR scimitar in offhand into a fighter, get dual-wielding & scimitar profs & have a pretty goddamn viable fighter type leveled-up real fast thanks to shapeshifts stats & fighter THAC0. -10 AC & 5 APR right out of the gate doesn't seem too terrible to deal with. Any non-obvious problems with this plan? Eg. dispel magic/resting/chapter change/a cutscene removing shapeshift bonuses or something stupid like that.

Neera

I'm thinking about switching Neera for Edwin cuz apparently he is the poo poo. But I kinda want to do Neera's side quests, the odds of me playing through this game another time are kinda slim so I wanted to a couple EE characters. But I can't help but think I'm gonna need Edwin's extra spells when things start to get real hard. Suggestions?

Get rid of Korgan for Edwin if you want 2 mages. If you need a 2nd tank, give Viconia the belt that lets you set your CON to 18 once a day (for 8 hours?) and she can tank pretty well.

You should be able to find her at the refugee camp. If you haven't discovered that yet, head off the NE corner of the Wild Forest (cross the bridge by using the lootable pebbles SE of it.)

I picked up the Baldur's Gate 2 EE since I never finished the first one and seem to have run into a bug. I have killed the boss in De'Arnise Keep and am able to move about the environment as normal. After completing the quest (speaking to Nalia, interacting with the Majordomo, transported back inside) I only have 5 of my party party members. Jaheira is nowhere to be found and I have to "gather my party before venturing forth" - I can't leave the Keep.

Is this a bug? Am I missing something obvious? I've edited my savegame a bit if that's an issue. Does anyone have a solution?

The portrait is visible and I can click on it. When I use the "select all" button it won't select her. I removed another party member and tried it, but she was still nowhere to be found. I could try removing her but I'm interested in the romance. She seems quite upset if you try to remove her.

I was thinking she could be in some room you left but if you clicked on the portrait and it didn't center on her it seems like a bug, yeah.

It doesn't matter if you remove her, she just scampers off to the harper headquarters and you can pick her up later.

I just tried it again - it looks like I can view her character record but not actually select her. Everything worked perfectly when I removed her from the group before completing the quest.

No, she can move just fine. Exiting the keep, speaking with Nalia to complete the quest, and ending up back in the keep glitches her somehow. Removing her before I completed the quest worked fine.

I'm having the same problem I mentioned on the previous page - this time on Anomen's quest. I speak to his father and all 6 party members are present. The game shifts me to his sister's burial location and Jaheira is no longer selectable and is gone (which means no Alt+J). Looks like I just can't have her in my party.

In my Ironman BG1 game, I'm trying to pick up characters I don't usually play with. I'm also going for the no arcane caster achievement. I've got an elven fighter focusing on bows, Dorn with two handers, Kagain with axes and hammers. I'm at Cloakwood now and planning to swap out Imoen for Coran and Jaheira for Faldorn, but can't think who would be a good swap for Khalid, since Ajantis went all suicidal and attacked me for recruiting Dorn. I usually take Minsc or Kivan so would prefer to avoid them. Any suggestions?

Viconia, make sure she gets the Ankheg Plate cause she's weak as poo poo. Shar-teel would also fit I think but I just can't stand her. Most other characters are saddled with someone else or want Kagain's gauntlets of dexterity.

I had considered Viconia but discounted her for weakness. Spending so much gold resurrecting people rather than reloading gets really old! I might give Yeslick a trial since I'm at Cloakwood now. Never ever used him before :).

Angered & displeased, he went to the Blessed One and, on arrival, insulted & cursed him with rude, harsh words.

When this was said, the Blessed One said to him:


"Motherfucker I will -end- you"


I had never really considered it before, but wow. Coran makes a great mainline fighter in that Ankheg plate. His AC is already at -6 or so

Coran is basically good at everything, he's one of those characters who is often as/more powerful than the PC.

If you don't mind not playing to the exact specifications of the developers, its easy to give NPCs non-idiotic constitution/dexterity scores with Shadowkeeper. Not making them godlike or anything just making it so you don't look at their character sheet and cry.

Dunno if they changed this in EE , but removing Jaheira from your party (or stuff like her getting turned to stone) used to kill the romance. So double check your global variables.
