Extra row of tits posted:Was that the one that would wake up if you happened to have the right combination of gems in your bag? That was Shangalar the Black, of the Twisted Rune. There is a nondescript trapped door in the middle of the Bridge District in Athkatla. A portal appears if you have a rogue stone in your inventory. It's all part of some cut content. You orginally had to get a specific rogue stone from the guys you fight in the Gaurded Compound in the Temple District. You got it from the guy who wields Celestial Fury, the best katana in the game - which also showed up as random loot in Neverwinter Nights - renamed Divine Fury.

what's really hosed up is that it's not even a gate at all. it's a city.

In BG your XP is split between all party members which means if you just have 1 party member you get 6x the experience and its not that hard to beat the entire game with just the main character which is really fun if you pick the right dual class.

I remember playing BG1 as a kid and having to switch out the 6 drat CDs to play it. Was kind of a struggle though I never beat it A little while ago I decided to give it an honest shot as a very smart adult and installed it off steam. I spent an hour setting up my character, tried pick pocketing someone in the starting area, failed and aggro'd him and the guy chased me around forever until he beat me to death, and I didn't have a save game to revert back to. I guess it was just an accurate role play for me

I played BGTutu to completion with a 3 person multiplayer party years ago and it ruled. Highly recommended for someone with too much free time and similarly idle friends. There was a weird bug in the dungeon with all of the kobold commando fire arrow archers, and they FILLED the entire dungeon with no walking room whatsoever. we somehow cleared it before getting access to fireball or skull trap etc

You can game this a bit to keep it split during combat and then tell everyone to leave except the PC when you turn in completed quests. My bard is level 6 and I just left the cloak wood, lol.

also throne of Bhaal kinda sucks because they had no idea how to balance level 15+ poo poo and you can end it at like level 33. instead of feeling powerful you feel worthless as the mooks all scale up and Random Guard has +5 enchantments and is immune to goddamn everything. it sucks because the story is pretty good!!!!11 it also has like 4 areas that are completely empty lol

credburn posted:A long time ago, just after the release of Baldur's Gate 2, we were all having a discussion about it in a Baldur's Gate 2 thread in the Games forum. Later on I would play through Baldur's Gate 2 and really love it -- like, it's one of my favorite games ever -- but I was not a fan of the first game, in particular the character Imoen. I found her to be utterly annoying, though it's been so long now I can't remember why. Anyway, while we were talking about Baldur's Gate lore or whatever in the Baldur's Gate 2 thread, I mentioned how much she annoyed me, this character Imoen. But here's the thing -- and this is SPOILER TERRITORY -- I referred to her as your annoying sister and I got probation for this. that didn't spoil anyone, she's obvious your adopted kid sister until it becomes obvious she's actually your sister. the only people 'spoiled' on this already knew, or were spoiled by someone explaining why it was a spoiler. spoilers aren't real.

Anyone else wonder what would happen if cloud kill were cast inside a tavern, then felt like a war criminal? Didn’t know charm person was considered a hostile act, tried to use it on a merchant for lower prices & he was aggroed whenever I returned to the shop but didn’t want to kill him with that character but had no way to apologize. Glad he wasn’t plot essential.

I remember playing IWD back when it first came out and discovering that if you paused and just mashed a bard's buff song button over and over, it would stack ad infinitum. It only lasted 6 seconds, but in that time you could demolish practically anything. Does Ropekid still post here? Or did we scare him off?

I remember all of those times in my youth installing this game and never completing it. I also remember buying Tales of the Sword Coast and installing both numerous times and never completing it. I also remember a little later on when mods were released and all of those times downloading them and never completing the game. I got the EE a few years back but I can't remember how, I installed it for nostalgia and decided to play through it again but gid I complete it? No. I did play Baldurs Gate II to completion countless times, but Planescape: Torment will always be my one true love.

I went from earned-power at the end of BG2 to "oh what the gently caress guards are wiping my party". The balance was not great when TOB starts, or ends. I always choose speech builds too so that doesn't help.

I played divinity something turn based, something, and a lizard guy was kind of a jerk to me to I didn’t recruit him, or killed him? anyways I needed him to fight for me on the team and couldn’t make any more progress and decided not to play because if I want to tolerate people I don’t like for their skill sets I can just go work in any office anywhere
