Not really in the mood to write a big counter post but I say it like this if IWD 2 deserves a 4/10 then no other cRPG deserves more than 6/10 at most. And if it's supposed to be even a 2/10 then no cRPG made so far deserves even a 4/10 period.
I am speechless about such bad reviews.

Playing with Fixpack which gives true Grandmastery I prefer Sarevok usually unless I am short on clerical power. True Grandmastery is so powerful with the extra attack it grants and with other buffs like Imp. Haste Sarevok is a pure juggernaut if destruction imho.
I also used a tweakpack which ...

I do think that you have slightly too high standards for cRPG. No offence meant. :)
Me personally, I like all IE games, my favourites being BG2 and PS:T albeit BG1 is very close behind.
IWD 1 and IWD 2 are more classic dungeon crawlers which are more about running through dungeons and slaying stuff ...

I remember having a similar problem when I reached Emma the druid who got her Moonblade stolen. In my case it was simple, the CD was damaged and I needed a new one or a digital copy (got the latter).
I can only advise you to either check your DvD carefully or try a reinstallation. The game itsef ...

I cannot say that I can agree with that. Roleplay imho had never much to do with what the current ruleset has to offer and more with your own and your parties/DM mindset. I could always roleplay in 2nd and 3rd and had a great DM for both. One of my best P&P session was with a 3rd D&D party in which ...

Well the easy answer is that its two different game engines that you area dealing with BG2 is 2e while IWD2 is 3e. In IWD2 3e universe - spells tend to have saves even things that are helpful to you e.g. if you have spell resistance and your mage casts dispel magic there is a chance that your SR ...

My current Sorc runs around with 17 wisdom (for later Wish spell) and I see no difference to any of the other characters in my group like Jaheria who is also a half elf ( for Viconia romance, she does not romance elves).

If I remember correctly all buff/heal spells must either be targeted OR AoE otherwise one of them will fail.
Try a sequencer with just Heal for example and see if it still does not work.

As far as I recall, the sequencer can only target the person it belongs to (Aerie in this case) - Does it not ...

There is no "best" trader per se in the game there are several which sell quite some nice items.

Few have been mentioned but some other merchants are noteworthy:

Bernard in the Copper Coronet sells some terrific stuff after you freed Hendak and the slaves there from Lethinan, like up to level 8 ...

I can recommend Avenger Druid, is after Mage/Sorc my favourite class.
Avenger Druid plays like a normal druid with a splash of mage and some additional shapeshift options.

Ok it really seems like all "created" items via spells like Destruction, Melfs, etc. seem to have this problem. I did several tests now and all have the same behaviour which makes these spells immensely weaker than anything in the same spell level range.

It could be that this is a hard coded issue ...

I noticed that when I was analyzing the spell, it even creates a different item for each cleric level you have up to level 30.
Problem is I cannot find the flaw in the *.itm file.
Funny enough Harm and Destruction work well and seem to calculate the DC correctly.
I could do a workaround modifying ...

Ok this really annoys me that some spells seem to have a completely ****ed up DC.
I tried to use Slay Living and Melf Minute Meteors for example but even the creatures with very low saves easily make their saves. At first I dismissed it that I calculated DC wrong etc.

Just now in Battle Square a ...

Hey folks,

I am using the Weimar Mod for Imp. Bastard Swords and additional equipment. Now I have the problem that the author of this mod was especially lazy and a lot of equipment has a blank identified description leaving me with no information about the item ingame.

Since I am a nice person I ...

Single class sorc should be able to solo the game. It is the most powerful class in the game.

What levels you had with your Sorc/Druid?

Summary:
While SDs build is certainly ultimate it has some small flaws which this builds tries to correct. Overall we get more useful spells and are better tanks at start which helps until PC 1 gets a few more levels and also get Specialization earlier giving us more damage. The Fighter/monk can ...

After quite some time I decided to play through IWD 2 again and came up with a brand new idea for a melee combat cleric.
I got the idea from Silverdragons PC 2 in his powergaming guide and was wondering how I can fit a good/neutral aligned combat cleric into a good/neutral party so I do not have to ...

Alternatively use a lot of summons as extra targets and don't be shy on using Mirror Images/Stone/Iron Skins/PfMW as much as possible.

I like both equally.

Thats precisely why mages are weak. Have to memorize too many utility spells. Ok level 7 and anything else we cant forget, although it is worth mentioning that Edwins PIs will have a lot of junk defensive spells. But level 9. Without Alacrity Edwin isnt gonna cast much. And without Wish he isnt ...
