Thanks! I didn't think so.

Just wondering if anyone knows if there's a purpose to the "Genie Flask" item from TotL?

A minor exploit with this item. . .

IIRC, a mage or thief can equip this item as a helmet (there aren't many other things they can). It isn't good for much, but it should at least protect against critical hits. . .and I think it would give your mage a helmet in his animation.

Too bad it can't see ...

If you download the bonus merchants from the pre-order CD (there are a lot of sites out there with them). . .

here's one:

only it doesn't seem to be working right now.

. . .there's a (pretty darn) good robe, otherwise the best robes are the ...

re: party creation

The last time I played thru I used characters from the Baldur's Gate series--specifically, Harpers: Jaheira and Khalid , Gorion , Cadderly, Entillis Fulsom, Reviane. Used the stats/classes (except I had to change one into a thief--I forget who) from their .cre files, pulled out ...

The only time they "level up" is when you enter TOB, if you have it. They get more HPs, more resistances (I think), maybe improved thieving skills.

I don't know if you can kill them off w/o losing HPs, but there is a trick to dump them from your inventory w/o any penalties (except you can't use ...

Thanks.

Looks like a cool site.

Not a girl, but here's a line a buddy of mine used once. Possibly the worst I've ever heard. He's a film buff, so he (I think) meant it as a compliment. He had a few too many, so maybe he didn't know what he was saying himself, but:

Him: (leaning in drunkenly) Did anyone ever tell you that you have ...

It's not chess--it's checkers! I hope you have Alora in your party, because when she gets to the other side of the board you get to double-stack her. A giant hobbit. . .I mean halfling!

Seriously, though, if I remember right, one of your characters--the PC, probably--gets to run around the board ...

Just wanted to throw in my two cents worth on this entertaining. . .long, painfully so when it devolved into a discussion of jargon. . .thread. To me, creationism vs. evolutionism is not a fair fight because creationism--when defined as the promotion of the Judaic Torah/Christian Old Testament as an ...

A dual-classed fighter-to-mage with mirror images/ stoneskins memorized is the best golem killer I've used. If you have Celestial Fury, it can stun golems (except clay, which it can't hit), but not long enough for the time it takes to kill an adamantium golem. Melf's is probably your best bet if you ...

re: Xanth

I like the idea of more "neutral" options. There are too few evil options as well. . .for instance, if I was role-playing an evil NPC, there's no way I would have helped the Helmites out with the Beholder cult, especially with the tone of voice they use. But I would need the XP. Too bad I ...

I can't be the only one who thinks the lack of a decent thief NPC is one of the biggest problems with BG2 (other than the eternally irritating Jan). . .

So, anyone have any good ideas/stories of mods they've made to "fix" this? (I usually only like to use one PC). I know about the keeping Yoshi ...

Have you tried *.wav's in your override folder?

e.g. rename a clip you like "imoen28.wav" to replace her "Whatcha want?" (in override).

I would have tried this myself before posting, but am currently running w/o a sound card.

:mad:

I think the same will work for portraits (you won't have to ...

slight spoiler


once you have 15,000 gold pieces, Valen, Bodhi's servant will appear and ask you to meet her in the graveyard district at night. You can side with Bodhi then.

I agree with the bounty hunter being useless in TOB. Also in SOA, once you hit high enough level. "Throwing" the traps is cool, but once they reach the otiluke's sphere effect, not too cool. . .I want the bad guys damaged, not put where I can't beat on 'em.

Worst "kit", if this counts--has to be ...

Don't know if there's a problem with doing this quest in chap 4, since I always do this one right away in case I decide to side with Bodhi. . .but if it's just a problem of a missing item, then:

CLUAConsole:CreateItem("misc4t")

Just occured to me that maybe you don't know how to do this, else you ...

Forgot to mention...this is with the patch.

I'm having the same problem with finding Montaron. I can get back inside the Harper building (someone standing in the doorway keeps it from closing), but Montaron is nowhere to be found inside. Has anyone playing TDD found him?

Just 30 Mb to go...oh, wait. . .that's 3 hours with dial-up.

Anyway, I read I have to un-install Throne of Baal to run TDD. I won't miss it--not nearly as good as SoA. No more "ho hum, which +10 weapon will I use to chunk this 'tough' enemy"; the last couple of times I ran thru it after SoA I ...
