I'm just interested to know where I can locate all the journal entries that appear in the first Baldur's Gate game.
I assume that they must be included somewhere within dialog.tlk, correct?

Hey

I get that the option to Force Attack an NPC appears rather rarely in the original campaign. Is there perhaps an exploit that lets you turn neutral critters hostile?

Thanks in advance

Is it possible to progress faster through the game when using the console? For testing purposes, I'd like my character to end up in the Nosferatu hideout.

Figured it myself, thanks anyway though! In the end, I fell for the Samantha skin.

Yo folks, I want to do some simple history and skin editing. Which utilites do I need for this? I'd like to give the Blunt Fangs history to a female Tremere. Her appearance should either be that of Nadia (Giovanni Mansion), Samantha or Pisha.

During my play-through, I found that Nordom was the most combat efficient character, except for the NO of course. Also, Nordom's AC is better than Vhailor's and if you upgrade him he'll even end up with MORE HPs.

Isn't that for the player to decide? Actually, if it had been doable, the most rewarding way to handle the Mausoleum area, would have been to finish the spirit's quest and thereafter kill it.

Is that possible? I used the Infinity Explorer to check its stats, which revealed that it had a 100% resistance against crushing and slashing damage. However, its remaining resistances (e.g. fire) were all at zero percent. Still, attacking it with the Brimstone Hammer - a weapon which deals fire ...

I've retrieved the sarcophagus for LaCroix. After the conversation between him, Beckett and my character, I spoke to him again. I had him forking out 700$ for my services using persuasion. However once the new conversation ends, the sequence where the sarcophagus is centered is triggered again. My ...

Thanks guys!

I seem to have misplaced the severed arm you collect from Gimble. My Malk is kind of interested in a new one. According to this site, you're supposed to find one later in the sewers. I vaguely recall this as well, but where and in which of them specifically?

Concerning your low constitution...
Haven't tested this myself so unsure if this actually is legit, but from what I've read you can counter this by temporarily increasing it (spells, potions) when your character is nearing a level up. This way (after leveling up) your character receives hit points ...

I've used the search option but didn't come up with a solution for this problem. After the intro movie the game constantly crashes and I get a message that an error occured in the BGmain.exe file. I've ran the game before perfectly on XP so I've no idea why this is happening now.
The only thing I ...

You'll only receive the memory if you haven't "upset" Many-As-One. This happens if you've killed to many of his minions within the Warrents of Thought.

By the way, if you wanted to get the skull without angering any undead, you could simply replace it with one regular skull (gaining 500exp) and ...

Correct, 16 CHA is required in order to convince Mary to let you gain access to the Silent King. Using the spell Friends should be enough here, which you can buy/steal from Mebbeth after your mage training.

Okey, this might sound extremely noobish, but I can't seem to figure how to pick locks. Actually, I would also prefer if Virgil did the picking instead as he is more skilled in it than my main character. Anyone here able to help?

I was thinking of creating my own voice set for my character. However, unlike with the first BG the Sounds folder doesn't contain the soundlist text file which could help you in indicating the expressions which were going to be used in the game. Has someone created such a list for BGII? It would ...

Since there have been found methods to obtain items you normaly shouldn't, like helmet of opposite alignment, I wonder if this is also possible to do with Drizzt's boots of speed (except for using clua console). It would be nice to aquire a second pair of these.

Arkanis the dwarven fighter who joins you in the "learn how to fight" training in Candlekeep makes an excellent fighter. He just lacks dexterity which can be boosted with the gauntlets anyway. Frankly, most of the Candlekeep NPCs (Canderous, Mordain, Deder & Arkanis) are quite special. There is a ...

If you do go with a ranged build to make the most of your Auspex, you may want to put a few points into Finance to lower the cost of ammo. With a research book found downtown and some persuaion with Fat Larry, you can get Finance up to 5 while spending only 6 xp on it. Xp, xp, book, book, Larry ...
