Did BG2:EE introduce any new kits or just the same ones that were in BG1:EE?

Is there any way to keep a Ranger from falling? I want to try playing a game where I shooting everyone I want and being a bandit for once and an Archer would be perfect for it.

Factor_VIII posted:

Agreed. Vanilla Fighters can be excellent archers since they can get grandmastery. Admittedly they're not as good as the Archer kit, but on the other hand they have greater flexibility since they can wear any armor and specialize on any weapon. Going with an elf for the 19 Dex and extra +1 to bows is also recommended.

I ended up using fighter/thieves since I want to be able to stealth, so in the end they aren't great archers but they will do.

Sewer levels tend to be the worst in videogames but they all pale to the Cloakwood Forest. It may be the least fun I have ever had in a videogame and I love the Baldur's Gate series.

I don't know for sure but I don't think so. Because when you run into Xzar there is an option of "I thought you were dead" or something like that to say if he was killed and then the whole drizzt thing.

it's pretty much the last "modern" rpg I tried to play. it was so clunky, ugly and the plot was just, meh, and I gave up after like, 5 hours.

I really hope pillars of eternity or numenera will be good.

I watched a video on youtube and apparently by the end you are as powerful as a god but the loading times were so horrendous that I never got beyond beating off 20 guards in some random nobleman's bedroom.

In IWDEE did they allow you to go from dual weapons to a bow? I know this wasn't possible in the old engine. Also do cleric/rangers still get all the tasty spells or was that fixed?

Parts Kit posted:

I just attempted to stealth Tazok's tent, which I haven't done before, and forgot about the lightning bolt trap on the chest you have to grab the evidence from. So I went in invisible, paused immediately upon opening the chest, grabbed everything, queued up a potion of invisibility, and then unpaused. Not only did I get the evidence without being noticed and turning everyone hostile, but the lightning bolt then bounced around and killed two of the enemies in the tent while everyone else just stood around like morons.

:radcat:

I don't think I have ever done Tazok's tent without loading 10+ times. I suck.

I don't know if it is just a bug with the engine or something I observed, but if you use a Banefire Crossbow it will seems to have 100% chance of inflicting decay on the target which will turn it into nothing more than an afflicted lump by the next month if it enters old age.

Suspicious posted:

When everyone is level 1 and you get critically hit, chunks often go flying. The gender bending girdle is to teach you not to blindly equip magical stuff. In the BG games, every container is a safe place to store stuff. It won't ever disappear but do make sure you can actually return to the area you're stashing your stuff in.

I played multiplayer with a guy (we had both played singleplayer before) so when we got the girdles I threw the cursed one into his inventory and he, like an idiot, equipped it. He became increasingly mad that I tricked him even though I tried to calm him down and said we just had to get 500 bux to remove it. We rested and he loving scribed Prismatic Spray just to shoot me with it and knock me down and beat me to death and we never played anything together ever again. He was that mad that I tricked him into turning his avatar into a woman.
