So I uninstalled improved Ilyich, and installed the SCSII version of improved starting dungeon, and now the mage that is there doesn't even cast a single spell.. Him and Ilyich actually just run away and don't do anything. Eventually they might throw a bullet at me or take a swing... In the readme ...

So I tried to just reinstall Ilyich from the tactics mod, but that didn't change anything. So I think I'm just going to install the "slighty harder starting dungeon" from SCSII.. I've read that improved Ilyich is just stupidly hard anyways, and that you basically have to cheese it to win.. Which is ...

Crap - what did I do wrong then? I installed SCS2 after the tactics stuff.. Should I try reinstalling the tactics stuff again? Or would that screw up the SCSII stuff now? I'm worried that if that one is broken, than all the tactics fights will be broken .

So I'm finally getting around to trying this. I started today. I installed the improved Ilyich mod from tactics, and then did NOT install the slightly harder beginning dungeon in SCSII. Was that correct?

Ilyich was exremely easy. He didn't seem different at all than he usually is. So I'm assuming ...

sweet sweet.. I'm excited.

Also - in case you are curious, the party I am going to attempt this with is -

Swashbuckler
Inquisitor
Archer
Berserker / Cleric proficient with hammers
Kensai / Mage - Bastard Swords dual Wielding
Kensai / Mage - Staves

I know the "perfect party" is something of debate ...

Dragon Age was disappointing only in the way that there are RPG's that were made in the 90's and early 2000's that are better. This game was supposed to be revolutionary! It wasn't. Instead it was just a really good RPG.

EDIT: Okay after doing a little research, I think I will install all 3 of these mods as you suggest. Is it safe to install all of Ascension over top of SCS2? Will the Ai from SCS2 'stack' with the mods from Ascension?

Got my answer in ToB forums, thanks.

So I usually play through Baldur's Gate 2 on Core rules. I thought it would be fun this time to create my own party, and to challenge the party, put it on the hardest skill (where mobs do double damage). Well, although I'm not that far into the game, thus far I'm disappointed with the difficulty ...

I think the thing you show us here, is one of the major problems with the swashbuckler class, it is a weak version of the fighter/thief

Actually I maxed a swashbuckler and fighter/theif with cheats just to see who was more powerful, and while the the fighter/theif had more attacks per round, and ...

Hey guys - I was doing some testing using the console to see what a swashbuckler would be like in the end game, and I can't for the life of me figure out what is going on here... I put (++) in katanas, and yet my attacks per round are still "1" while wearing celestial fury. I even maxed my exp to ...

Eh, I guess I don't know enough about the story. Thanks for that info.

Edit: Another thing.. Where do you get all this info? I don't remember reading most of that stuff in game. Is it in the novel trilogy? I've only read the first book.

The potential for an epic story, and epic ending, and just an overall Baldur's gate feel would best come from a prequal. Think about the possibilities.

NPC's - You have Gorian, Elminster, Khalid, jahera, that could all be playable npc's with rich dialog and story that further expand on stories only ...
