Item Editor, creating balanced weapons

[KensaiRyu]

Well i finally was able to get a copy of the Infinity Engine Editor Pro and have been busy creating balanced weapons all day (ie not Superman Weapons). I think Bg2 is sadly lacking in the amount of magical weapons and armor to be had in the game early. You pretty much have to go through Chapter Six to get the decent weapons, so i created a bunch of mid-range swords and axes for a beginner thats got a little money to spend (i prefer putting them in Copper Coronet store and buying them, after all half the fun is raising the money to get the neat weapons.) I plan on uploading these items to be available on the net by tomorrow, but right now im brushin up the edges.I was wonderin if anyone had a website where they could be uploaded too.

I would be glad to hos them for you. However have you created a storekeeper or edited an existing storekeep to sell these? If starting a new storekeep you need to create a dialog for him.

I must disagree with you.

Although there is a dearth of good scimitars, for example, there are two very good 2HS available pretty close to the start, and same with several excellent bows, an axe, a couple of useful SSs, several very good LSs, a sling, warhammers, staves, and a Flail not too far into the game.

Same with the armour, an excellent Chainmail right from the start, and some good leather not too far in, while it doesn't take too long before you start picking up plate+1, full plate+1, and even a plate+2.

I was disappointed with the lack of a variety of good shields, apart from the Red Dragon shield, Anomen's shield, and the Tower shield +3, but then again, who uses shields, anyway, apart from Anomen & Jaheira?

You should make more magical bastard swords, scimitars, throwing daggers and darts.

IMO, bastard swords and proficiency are the least popular in the game because they're very few of them, and they all suck. Make some good magical ones and maybe this'll encourage their use.

Make thinking caps or hats. In head wear I only see helmets and ioun stones and they're all for non-mages.
