With bg2EE just released I've aborted a small party f/m/t run. Now I want to run all the new character so what would work ok with that kind of party? I really enjoyed the sneaky backstab then invis to backstab again of the f/m/t, so something along those lines might be good

Hahaha I am ridiculous! I'm suffering from serious indecision with my class - I'd like something that synergises with thief for those sweet HLAs and I enjoyed a bit of sneaking about and backstabbing in my aborted (due to BG2 EE release; I want a fullish party for the new NPCs) F/M/T run. At the mo I'm thinking maybe something cleric since it's the missing class, but does cleric/thief have any synergy? Please help save me from myself!

Factor_VIII posted:I'd say it depends on what kind of party are you thinking of using. How many characters and what type of classes. Your PC could be a Wizard Slayer with the minimum stats possible and still finish the game with no problems if you have a decent party. I'll be using all the new characters, so that's a Blackguard, Thief, Sun Soul Monk and Wild Mage (although Dorn's quests sound so murderous I wouldn't be surprised if the monk gets upset). The last few times I played the games I used a Barbarian, Kensai/Thief(or mage, I forget which) and Wild Mage. As the protagonist I guess I'd prefer to do the killing than the buffing so I might end up with Viconia for cleric duties if I don't take it.

So what sort of fun stuff can you do with use any item, bar the obvious getting past the kensai (and wizzard slayer?) disadvantages?

zedprime posted:Is it Mislead that gives you the body double that gives you invisibility until your illusion is dead? So a mage/thief can back stab repeatedly during it? I got halfway through a F/M/T small party playthrough before Bg2EE and used that just once; it felt too cheesy.

Christ on a bike, the Neera quest and 'chatter' in BGEE is so utterly awful. I like having a wild mage in the party but I'm not sure it's worth having to put up with the bad writing. Does it get better after Adoy the wild mage and his goblin friends?

I am leaning helping the rebels because I'm pretty rich at this point and I figure I'll earn more bonus XP via aiding the rebels. Work for the exiled prince then kill him at the end for extra loot!

TomWaitsForNoMan posted:Going back to the earlier discussion about Fighter/Mage multiclass being better than Kansai/Mage dualclass, doesn't the former have very limited HLA slots? If things like Whirlwind Attack/Hardiness/etc are such game-changers aren't they somewhat weakened by only having 5 slots for fighter HLAs before hitting the XP cap? And even then you wouldn't get HLAs at all until a long way into ToB. Plus you only get 3 slots for Mage HLAs. gently caress the xp cap, I like levelling up too much to leave it in. e: I think you get to choose whatever HLA you want, not just the class that levels up. Plus there's only really two killer mage HLAs - improved alacrity and dragons breath. the fart question fucked around with this message at 16:06 on Dec 29, 2013 |

homeless poster posted:Is it night time or did you finish the trademeet / druid feud the evil way? Either of those things make the merchants go away. If you did the town quest and resolved it "correctly" and it isn't night time, then you might need to just edit whatever gear you wanted onto your characters. Well I never! In all the times I've finished this I don't think I've noticed that those merchants are away at night.

OregonDonor posted:Hi thread. I'm on my first playthrough of BG2, in chapter 2 I believe, and I just got Jaheira's curse cured. My party consists of charname (fighter), Minsc, Jaheira, Anomen, Nalia, and a modded-in Kivan. Aside from having the most annoying party banter, I'm having a hard time defending against disabling spells, like chaos, stun, confusion, etc. Anomen and Jaheira each have one copy of Chaotic Commands memorized, and I usually buff the party with "Remove Fear" before fights, but is there a more efficient/useful way to protect against those sorts of attacks? Oh, they also both have dispel magic, but it doesn't seem to work against certain spells. Any and all advice would be appreciated--I'm really enjoying the game, but I've hit a bit of a roadblock with this. Get nalia to remember a few breaches to help batter mages before they can do anything too nasty; it strips off protections like stoneskin and protection from magical weapons. I often find insect plague is too slow to prevent mages from getting something nasty off - blasting with elemental arrows as soon as you see them can help interrupt casting.

Factor_VIII posted:I had the same problem, though I can't remember which one it was (maybe the bottom one?). One of the options gives you the stronghold though. Save the game before choosing and check your journal after picking it to see if you were given the stronghold. It was the third option - did your dialogue have stuff about Raelis Shai?

Dillbag posted:FYI most dialog, item description or item addition options in the tweak pack will break dialog and descriptions throughout the game. I don't think it has been updated for EE. Item stacking works, but not much else. I think the only component I used that might have affected it would be the fatigue removal from restoration spells, if the description is changed.
