omfg I tried to install the Big World Mod and wow. I have to redo everything after letting it install for 6+ hours. I thought I would be playing already but I guess imma reinstall and use easytutu instead.

Easytutu is fine right? like it install decent mods or do I have to do that myself? cuz the Big World mod had alot and I dont know how that will affect my first playthrough.

I've actually never finished TOB for some reason wtf? Don't know why that is. Prob should make it part of my new years resolution! haha. Played quite a bit of BG1 and 2 from day one fun stuff. My only complaint about the game might be that thievery was just way too easy.

My party:
Me, a dual-class thief/fighter female evil of course always.
Keldorn, Viconia, Edwin, Jan. (5 members always seemed plenty. Jan was lucky I liked him cause the other 3 npcs more than carry his weight.)

Also.. I've been working on a Scraft mod/tribute to Baldur's Gate for years haha! Anyone ever happen to run across it in your wanderings? Tough to stay focused and keep working on at times, but it's almost there. Might even make my first ever TL.net blog after 6 frickin years membership! Working on some fun UMS multiplayer maps right now. I'd release it as it is, the melee is solid, but want to add some finishing touches for the UMS map making/special buildings. Unfortunately "finishing" touches could translate to hundreds more hours. I never seem to be satisfied. Anywhoo. pm me if you'd like to try out the game for kicks.

*sigh i guess im not meant to play this game. I patched all the games, installed easytutu and I started the game. I didn't even get far in bg1 I am at the part where I am in the cellar training with the guy and whenever we have fights with the training illusions there is epic lag. Anyone know what could be causing it? I tried to look at google first but I don't see any links that could help. My specs for my laptop are:

OS - WIndows 7
Processor - 2.2ghz duo core
GFX - gt 240m
ram - 4gb
HD 112gb free out of 180

There is only one thing that I can think of that can cause lag in the game. Go into the configuration and make sure that 3d acceleration is on. If it's already on, I guess... try turning it off?

Correct.

Run in admin mode, however, as some people have problems with saving the game otherwise.

I've had the black box problem, it's fairly easily fixed in the config menu. Google solves. Not sure about the lag, though.

lol wolves outside the keep
if you're having that much problems with them just keep running along the road where you're less likely to run into them
along that first road you'll meet xzar and montaron who can join your party , when you have 4 people in your party go back and explore the areas off the roads

gg beholders :x


Is that the idem that reflects all magic spells?


No, it only reflects beholder rays.

The cloak of mirroring used to reflect all spell damage, but that effect was removed at some point, either in ToB or in a patch.


That is the idem I was thinking of, the Cloak of Mirroring. As soon as I found it the game lost all its difficulty, I walked into the Beholder den in the underdark and let them all kill themselves on me. I toltally agree that idem was broken expecially considering the main villian is a wizard.

Not to mention you got it from a completely random mob in the sahugin city, not as an epic reward or anything like that...

Oh, that's not the only broken item, though. Crom Freyr setting the force at 25, I mean, seriously.

Not to talk about Carsomyr...

I think they nerfed cloak of mirroring with Throne of Bhaal. I remember it didn't mirror spells anymore, you just couldn't take direct magical damage.

Well...

When you get the uber-uber Crom Fayer and similar Items the game is basically over anyway, so thats not that big of a Problem.

And btw: The single Parts of Crom Fayer split over your party is often better than having 1 guy with Crom Fayer .

When we're at an Infinity Engine topic I'm taking the opportunity to ask a few questions about Icewind Dale 2

Me and a friend is about to start playing this. Through the Hearts of Fury difficult setting for some serious challenge.

Can anyone give us some good team composition and general thumb rules or something.

We're aiming to clear it up with only 2 chars. But we can stretch out to 4 (2 chars each).

So it would be awesome if someone could shed some light on this.

Thanks in advance.
Flying Tushin!!

Hmm, the vanilla game is relatively easy with or without such items if you're familiar with the game. And extra stength from Crom Faeyr doesn't seem as crazily powerful as some other things, it just makes you hit fucking hard. You still gotta stay alive and get rid of enemy protections somehow. Staff of the Magi for example can give much more god-like power, especially combined with vecna robes. Or carsomyr dispelling. Or just enough traps.

I'm gonna start a new game sometime probably, with some mods to make it different from my 1st playthrough.

Ascension
BG2 Fixpack
Unfinished Business
Banter pack
Flirt pack
Rogue Rebalancing
aTweaks
Sword Coast Strategems II

Is that a good order to install them? Should I still add/remove something and why? Or should I just go ask on a proper BG2 forum to know :D Originally I was just intending install 2 or 3 things but the list just kept growing...
If you have to ask, you don't know.
