a lack of continuity

thanks to those of you who told me where to find the bonus merchants. as for the stuff they sell, damn it's good.

however, the bloke who sells the icewind dale items is a bit dodgy. for example, arundel in icewind dale didnt carry "arundels staff", he had the staff of nature's wrath, totally different to this item. hrothgar never had an axe either, and didnt die fighting belhieft, as the axe's description states. he died in an avalanche. also, everard never had a sling. either the programmers made mistakes, or they were lazy, or this merchant is selling fake items! i think i might kill this fraud...

also, jaheira's character is a lot different from in bg1 - another lack of continuity between games. post any more you find.

... and you know it's true!

if you look at the stats for the characters in bg you will see that they vary from those in bg2, viconia's wisdom was only 16. also Minsc's alignment was N/G. In general the stats for the chracters were improved for bg2. not many other inconsitancies i can think of off the top of my head
