I finally caught up on the LP, so now I can vote! :D

E, I don't understand Xzar's popularity.

G. And he fell into a burning ring of fire...

C. He's out as soon as the quest is done.

I changed my vote in the original post.

FYI to all of the viewers who may feel very nostalgic for all of these old school games, the Dungeons & Dragons Anthology: The Master Collection bundle is on sale at GamesGate for $19.95.

The bundle includes Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Planescape, The Temple of Elemental Evil, and all of their associated expansions.

This is good way to get a legit copy and play along with Vorgen. :D

Does anyone know how compatible this would be with the Big World Mod? It seems like a good deal for Planescape: Torment alone, but I'm looking to squeeze every bit of enjoyment out of my dollar as possible.

I haven't tried it yet, but you can install it as many times as you want in case it doesn't work.

1. Should we resurrect Montaron when we have a chance? Yes/No, and why?
2. Should we resurrect Eldoth when we have a chance? Yes/No, and why?
3. Should we recognize Garrick as a valid potential party member, even though we haven't seen him for literally months? Yes/No, and why?
1. Depends. If Xzar survives the Nashkel Mines, then maybe Syvisthar will be indebted to Xzar's "guidance" and revive his long-lost partner-in-crime. If he doesn't survive... meh.

2. No. He doesn't have any connections to the group currently, so I don't see a compelling reason.

3. Yes. Why not? Maybe we can watch an Imoen-Garrick romance bloom.

Remember that bit where we get hired by Silke the mage in Baragost to murder those guys for her? The guy who actually found us and hired us is Garrick. He's supposed to join the party after that, but there was a bug and he just vanished instead.

I've been replaying BG1, and I had a good number of attempts where Garrick just happened to be standing in the path of Silke's lightning bolt. She's a heartless one, man.

Also hope you have romantic encounters for BG2 Vorgen as you get the opportunity to sleep with Eldoth in a chance encounter at one of the taverns. He will then try to blackmail you by threatening to tell the whole town you're a massive slut or something.

Ahhh modders.
Wait, can he be male for this one-chance encounter?

He can also wear studded leather, if that makes you feel any better about him...

Cool new portrait, Vorgen. I still think Xan needs to become anime or chibi, though.

EDIT: So we're not adding Garrick back to our roster?

Vorgen posted:

I'm going to have to roleplay it. My character doesn't know he's going to be getting kidnapped and tortured for months on end by Irenicus, so I'll just stumble blissfully into the trap set for me. There's an extremely complicated set of scripts in the cutscene that takes you from BG1 to BG2 that includes filters for items which you may have in your party. From what I understand some significant items get added to Irenicus' dungeon and are recoverable, while others are just deleted. I'll abide by Irenicus' decision on what to do with my equipment I guess, since he's my kidnapper and I have stockholm syndrome.

Curious, what if Minsc/Jaheira/Imoen permanently die (i.e. splatter in giblets) before we start BG2? Will we let history rewrite itself because Irenicus deems it so?

I am pretty sure those are literally better than anything in the unmodified game, without any sort of contest. Not even Throne of Bhaal high-level loot matches that.

Good thing we're losing all of our loot when we move into BG2. :v:

Being a mage, he very well might end up wearing a belt of cognizance anyway (which changes genders). Thalantyr sells one and there is a super cheap one in BG2.

In vanilla BG1 Officer Vai used to piss off once you'd cleared the Bandit Camp, has that been fixed for you? I'd hate to see you lugging around 50-odd scalps only to find she's gone when you want to sell them.

She only does it if you talk to her without carrying any scalps. Otherwise it triggers her going back to Baldur's Gate.

To be fair, the "most powerful magic user in existence" seems intent on whacking me with a wooden staff rather than calling upon his nigh limitless magical power.

Apparently you can kill Drizzt by attacking him with a bow across a lake, and the AI can't path him close enough to actually attack you. Apparently legendary rangers can't swim? :raise:

True, but she was the only one you could sleep with before completing the romance. She did have the best romance in TOB though. They actually managed to slip some character development in there! Also, now that I think of it, in SOA there was no way to get a good ending to Viconia's relationship.
I'm pretty sure you can end staying together, I remember because I cheated by triggering the conversations with manual commands all the way to the end, haha.

So does she actually keep her levels and abilities when we move onto BG2? If so, then A. If not, then max out her necessary skills and then dual-class her.

I'm pretty sure she does, yes.

Does this mean that Jaheira is going to be absolutely terrible, seeing that she'll probably stay at her low level, or will the game auto-level her?

And on further contemplation, definitely (B) pick up her 7th level and then dual-class her.
