BG2 Party Question

nephtu · Post by **nephtu** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 11:32 am

[QUOTE=TRODTROD]ok, now i know im sounding very nooby here. But im a little bit skeptical about breaking my bros Baldurs Gate II on HIS computer basically, could someone write down exactly what i need to do with URL links

im really sorry i just find that sticky really hard to follow

I think our friend means break in the sense of "cause the software to stop running" not the sense of pirating.

If you're really worried, you may just want to stick to the Bioware patch and then the Baldurdash patch - discuss any others with your Bro. All the more substantial patches have Readme files, but at worst you'll need to reinstall.

Good luck!

Sorry, mate, I only asked cause I was in doubt...

Check your pm's a bit later, ok?

Now, try using two copies of BG on the same disk. I dont remember exactly how to do it, but Ive done it before, only changing the directory name and using an alternative hd. BTW, Weidu mods can be easily uninstalled, and your brother may even like to have improvements on his SoA copy.

UU and Nephtu may help you on having 2 baldurs gate on the same computer.

joking aside there isnt enough space anyway, lmao!

God i cant believe the HD is nearly maxed out...

funnily enough it turned out he didnt have it installed

so i installed it, put the bioware patch on, then i put the balderdash one on (i think its worked) it was some bug fix thing, it seems to have anyway.

Only problem is i cant find my old saved games now, maybe my bro got rid of em....

found em

TRODTROD, try tactics... You'll love it.

TRODTROD · Post by **TRODTROD** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 1:11 pm

tactics?

all i want is new NPC's

ive uninstalled Icewind Dale II for now while i play BG2 again, does anyone have any links to good NPC's, lol, its just that ive been hearing about some 'naff' cheesy ones, is there any that are genuinly good (but not silly like stupidly good)

both kelsey and tashia are good additions to any party, as is the drow fighter/mage solaufein. the evil vampire valen provides some interesting dialogue.

HOWEVER, of these characters, kelsey is the least powerful (and he's a bloody sorceror). so if you are to take tashia, sola or the mega powerful valen, try notching up the difficulty, or even installing tactics

TRODTROD · Post by **TRODTROD** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 2:33 pm

aye thats the thing, im looking for ones who are similar power, i cant be doing with ones that are stupidly hard for cheats.

So kelsey is good then?

ive been looking at this Weidu website? at this NPC called Soulafin or something, lol. Now, can i simply download that or before doing that do i need to install something else?

More

Solaufein is a great NPC, only slightly cheesy - Valen is ultra-cheesy
Kelsey & Tashia are both great Sorcerors - Kelsey's probably more balanced.

Mods

Click on that link and scroll down the list. Tashia, Valen, etc are in this list. Click on the name of whichever mod you want to open that pages homepage, then click download. Then run the install the way it tells you to do in the read-me that will come with each download. For the most part, it's just a matter of downloading the mods, then just running the setup.

TRODTROD · Post by **TRODTROD** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 4:31 pm

thanks that page helped a lot.

Ive downloaded Kelsey, Chloe and this Soulafin dude, where do i meet each of them in the game?

im guessing the drow dude has to be near the drow city right? so not till later on?

Check the readme files and see if they tell you. Myself, I haven;'t played with the ones you downloaded, I do know Tashia is in Trademeet though. And Soulafin you can't miss. He's a part of the original game, just modded.

TRODTROD · Post by **TRODTROD** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 4:44 pm

thanks, anyway its more intresting now thanks to you guys. Ive got that bioware patch and the baldurdash one, and a few new NPC's who i may/may not encounter, thanks guys im gonna start a new game in the morning

Kelsey is the only NPC worth using.

He's owerful, but no more so than any other Sorcerer. The others are all a bit cheesey (to different degrees) IMHO.

TRODTROD · Post by **TRODTROD** » Sat Jun 26, 2004 4:48 am

one last question, hehe. Is there anyway i put characters from BG1 into it? e.g. Kivan with same stats and pic and stuff, or aint it possible without already making him of the starting party. e.g. by making him

lol 25 dex isnt that bad considering she has 12 str, but the reason im not using her is i cant stand single-classed Kensai, you cant even dual her....
