Vorgen, i think you might have missed a modded area in your travels... theres a few extra areas in the firewine bridge overworld area that you access from one of the bridge spires, the bottom most one if i recall. its like the thing in ulcaster ruins where you have to find the right pixel. can't remember what mod it's from though but i don't recall you going into it. it used a bunch of iwd area art.

I wonder if the mod changed what Gorion leaves for you in his room.

one of the mods changes things slightly. bg1npc turns the letter into a conversation event you have with everyone in the group the second you pick it up. also changing npcs after this chapter will auto-start child of bhaal convos and poo poo randomly as if they were in the group at the time... but with this set of mods there was probably a balor in the room or something.

I like how we have Power Word: Kill and we're not even in BG2 yet :allears:

"Here, in a game that was originally balanced to be beaten by level 5 to 7, have a NINTH LEVEL SPELL because you'll need it."

it's one of the more hilarious bugs from bgspawns. i kept finding level 7-8 spells on gibberlings for no reason.

Sarevok's diary will conclusively provide the revelation, and it is not a missable item.

nah, its totally missable. but with mods... the bg1npc mod expanded the diary into a huge loving novel, its really detailed and quite nice and foreshadows throne of bhaal and the five and all that poo poo.

but it's totally missable. you only need to go back through iron throne base if tomako asks you do and its easy as hell to miss her in the rush of the ending. you can just go straight to flaming fist hq and then the sewers.

but yeah, continue on i say, ignorance is bliss.

With the Big World Project on who gets imported into Chateau Irenicus? If Minsc or Jaheira die do they show up? Or Imoen? Cause the second game wouldn't make too much sense without her.

they all still turn up if they died in bg1. its only if you transition with them do they get to keep their levels and spells and poo poo. but theres no loving around with npcs in bg2 if they died in 1 as not to break the game. (only imoen and edwin would really do that i think)

though if they die in bg1 i'm hoping vorgen ctrl+y's them for the lp.

couple of gameplay things that have changed in a bwp regarding the end of bg1. the game doesn't end when sarevok dies, you have to go back all the way up the surface, but there are items on the corpses of sarevok and his minions that can transfer over to bg2. you won't actually go straight to bg2 unless to talk to an npc and he gives you a new quest so you'll be free to finish up stuff in bg1 before going to bg2.

in regards to the final fight: im sure there is a method to have the npcs controllable but not in your group, like some summons where you can use their spells and stuff but you cant see their inventory or record sheet. not sure how to go about it though but accession mod does it, (you'll see what i mean when you get to tob in 2029) does the friendship mod give them ai to fight with you out of party? i see situations of npcs going hostile against you due to a fireball or something if that mod doesn't do anything.

im not sure if you can leave the temple once you enter it until sarevok is dead, but i know he will never leave it. him and his cronies are at the top of the temple and the fight only starts when you see him so you can set everything up without worrying about starting the fight early. i could probably test leaving the temple myself when i load my own game but in regards to bring the whole company down there i would use the pocket plane to transport everyone (if they fit!) rather than going down group by group.


man, this is going to be some fun.

the diary is from bg1npc and if i recall a lot of it based on in-game hints and stuff from devs post-tob. (i think gaider when he was making accession but don't quote me on that)

always made me laugh they added dates on there that would never match up with the current game dates.

there are 2 or 3 new npcs for bg1 that got released within the 2 years the lp's been running, a drow and an half-orc i think.

scs and bgspawns makes the last area before the temple "fun" and bg1npc did do something in the maze but you need to be in a romance with dynaheir i think. also i think you were suppose to do northern tales of the sword coast at this point or after the final battle, i forget. or was that fields of the dead? eh who knows.

That last screenshot is beautiful! I dig how some of them thought "gently caress this guy" and pissed off, much better than all of them blindly following you to their horrible deaths.

It's happening!

Honestly seeing that kind of bro group picture ready for battle is making me want to throw my current game out of the window and start all over again, just to try that in last battle myself, loving glorious. About Jaheira and Khalid, i had that problem with them too, whenever i would remove one of them they would just both piss off back to the FAI every drat time, there's a way to fix it i think but sod it, those harper wusses can miss on glory.

The BG1 final battle is still modded by SCS as of v.28. The chapter 6 fight with Prat and his 3 goons in the Candlekeep Catacombs was removed recently, as was the modder's version of Improved Irenicus. Both of those fights are currently as they are in vanilla version of your install, outside the AI changes from Smarter General AI, Mages and Priests etc. if you've got those installed.

any reason why they were removed? seems weird to remove it rather than make it optional. improved irenicus is quite fun from what i've seen.

Oh boy. Folks: if you thought BG1 had been modded to hell and back, you haven't seen anything yet.

Part of which is my doing. I actually made one of the BG2 NPC mods we'll be seeing, and all I'm going to say in my defense is that I wrote it when I was in high school and my first couple years of college.

i made a katana. i barely remember what it does but i do recall it being a stupidly insanely overpowered piece of poo poo that some guy requested on one of the forums once where he wrote a incoherent, badly spelt, badly formatted and way too long backstory that i cut and pasted without fixing anything. i then used it as my claim to the throne of bg modding back in the day. :frogc00l: my ex had some stuff turn up in few infinity engine mods too which is just weird as gently caress now.

i think the katana ended up in ajoc's mod not sure if its still there but i can't wait to find out!

I was also wondering how they were going to tie in the beginning of BGII into this without having it just suddenly happen.

I kinda prefer the way bg1npc mod does the tie over, better written (slightly) but they disabled that for non-tutu games.

going through the bws list on the npcs and i find "silver star" with this discription

quote:

"The evil elven assassin has crude and cruel dialogs. She has banters with NPCs from SoA, but not from ToB. You should always have Silver Star in your party if you install the mod, because if you don't do that, dialogues get scrumbled and it causes a faulty game."

Some of the mods for bwp14 have some annoying bugs though, and even more annoying is you have to search endlessly through posts for the hope of a hotfix.

Like i spent the whole of yesterday looking for a fix for the bgt music issue that has cropped up because of the new weidu. Some music gets messed uo and areas will play differently like having tavern music at the gnoll fortress for example. Found a hotfix but not sure if it works since it takes 12 years to install the whole thing if you want to use scs.

Theres also a parsing install error for bgtgrapics you have to hunt for (all on shs forums) bur other than that i think a big install is mostly stress free. I'll be cool and post links to those hotfixs when i get back home in a good few hours for anyone who wants then.

A very good question, with the answer varying on whom you are asking! I made it and I still don't know what triggers the failure.
- It works on a clean install of GOG BG2 and DVD BG2.
- It fails to install on GOG Mac version due to the ambient sounds being locked by the system until the moment you encounter them in-game. For some reason. Also if you delete the ambients from the areas the tisunpack still doesn't work.
- It crashes on BG2EE on OS X due to the tileset not unpacking correctly. I think I could fix this by making the area Windspear Hills copy but I wanted to get rid of the cabin and look where it got me. Also I'd need to remake everything.
- It reportedly works on the CD version of BG

oh, okay. i'm using the original cd version and it looks like it has installed fine... gonna be awhile before i see it though since i'm starting over fresh.
