Just beat the Demon guy apparently Greater Malaise or whatever it's called and cloud kill are easy mode. Ugh gotta go to bed but don't wanna. This is a fun game.

Man they nerfed the gently caress out of arrows in BG II, but bolts and bullets are unaffected. What gives?

Slings are the only ranged option for half the classes, but crossbows I don't know. I'm unnerfing them, screw balance.

So I finally picked a new party and got started. Today our plucky hero (Mage/Thief) is travelling with.. Dorn Jaheira Viconia Minsc Neera My only worry is that Dorn is actually a little squishy, but with his damage I can't resist using him as a frontman. Also, I did Neera's quest where you go to rescue a Wild Mage to try to help her control her powers. The Thayvians that port in were a HORRIBLE fight, I got slaughtered a bunch of times before I ended up cheesing it with Fireball and Fear wands. I really need to get on with the story though, my party is level 4-5 and I haven't even done the Nashkel Mines yet.

Hollismason posted:Even Gibberling 3 stuff? What should I do then? nah it depends on what mods you are using. anything text heavy will break stuff i think, mostly modded characters and poo poo. you can reinstall the mods after installing SoD and using the mod merger thing and if the mods are minor tweaks and items they should be okay but stuff like modded npcs and bg1 npc is gonna be broken for the rest of the bg1 playthrough but the items will be fine. your character and stuff will import fine over into SoD though. it's really anything that gets saved into the save file will which gets hosed if modded, such as modded store names and the like. those are fixable if you use near infinity and gently caress around with your save file if it really bugs you. if your wanting to play sod i'd wait on buying it until you're right at the end of the game about to face the final boss and then install Sod, use the mod merger, reinstall your mods and you should be okay.

They're fantastic provided you have a nice, big screen and can handle not being able to rotate formations. Remember, you can double tap to buy ammo in bulk on touchscreens!

Did the SoD changes to BG1EE break EEKeper? I can't get it to see my saves, for some reason. All I want to do is Keeper Khalid to Archer.

SoD saves go in a different directory, so EEKeeper won't see them unless you point it at the /sodsave/ directory and check "Use Custom Save Location".

Yeah, I don't think I would play these games anymore if I had to watch my party of dumbasses spend half an eternity trying to find their way out of a dungeon, but I guess if you're not used to Ctrl + J'ing everywhere you can't miss it.Rappaport posted:Is there something especially onerous with Kelsey?

I've just past Nashkel on an 8" android tablet and so far it's great! There is definitely a quick save button. Lack of formation rotation is a bit annoying but not a big problem.

Rappaport posted:Have not seen that, thanks for the heads up I guess Kelsey was for the modding community an early lesson in how to write NPC-NPC romantic relationships. Kelsey's example is "tell the PC everything that's going on." When I wrote Darian, I followed the idea that the player shouldn't see everything. The player definitely doesn't need to know that the NPCs are boning.

Dark Side of the Sword Coast, Secret of Bone Hill and the Grey Clan fit that bill. None are what anyone would call well-written, but there's a lot of poo poo to fight. I have no idea if they have EE versions, though. Cythereal posted:flirts (a mod thing he pioneered)
