Not really. On the other hand, assuming the rest of your party is reasonable, you'll be fine; taking the new NPC along isn't going to drastically increase difficulty. You'll just have to be a bit more careful with positioning and aggro in fights. The six-man party design will always give you the chance to take characters like that; it's deliberately designed to do so. The system is balanced around a four-man party with a Fighter, a Thief, a Cleric and a Mage.

Yeah, monks are pretty terrible until level 9+ or so, but then again all your mages did most of BG1 was cast magic missle and use wands of fireball anyway. Just play what you want; you can always pick up party members to fill out a competent roster.

Actually It is one of new features added by BGee, I personnaly love it.


One of the new PC is a monk, can they become any good with the xp cap of BG1 ? (meaning you hardly goes beyond lvl 7/8)


It depends, if you plan on playing BG2 why not. Also, it's not like you only play 1 character, but up to 6 at the same time, so you shouldn't worry that much about it.

Do the new npcs interact with old ones? By interacting i mean dialogue , banter, love/hate and stuff like that.

From what I read developers were not allowed to add new content to already existing story and characters so if new NPCs talk to old ones I am sure those don't answer back. I think they could only add dialogue between each of new NPCs and your character.

I just had Dorn have a short banter with Xzar about not being safe to trust, so there seems to be some added content there.

I've played through BG2 several times, but this is my first time through BG1. Based on the last few comments, I'm wondering if my current party composition is going to screw me later in the game. My PC is a sorc, and I am also using another mage, the monk, Dorn (Blackguard), a cleric and a thief. This is similar to my favorite party comp in BG2, will it also work in BG1?

Edit: I might replace the monk with minsc... thoughts?

Correct play will make that composition work, absolutely. Summoning meatshields will be your friend here; against most encounters summoned meatshield + arrow (or otherwise ranged) spam works better than any other tactic. Just be judicious in your usage of Summon Monster wands/spells.

Minsc will almost certainly be better in combat than the monk. He can cause some issues with your party - you'll be locked into Dynaheir, unless you use some of the little tricks that can unlock paired characters. So you might be better off with Kagain, Shar-Teel or Ajantis, depending on the ideology you want your party to follow.

I like Minsc much more in BG2 than BG1, honestly. Part of that is that I just don't like Dynaheir at all.

About half of the text in menus is messed up, and the game crashes constantly. Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

No problem! Out of curiosity, how far are you, and which characters specifically are you using?

As I mentioned my PC is a sorc. I am also using Rasaad(Monk), Dorn (Blackguard), Female true neutral cleric, can't remember her name, Neera(Wild Mage), and Imoen (thief).

I just cleared the mines, and though I have had to reload a couple times when a character died and i didn't feel like finding a temple, mostly I haven't had much difficulty. I have also managed to complete all the side quests I have encountered so far except for 1 or 2 where I haven't been able to find the next step of the quest. Dorn is quite beastly, he has been a HUGE help in taking up the slack from Rasaad I think.

edit: also I purchased a neckless from one of the merchants that had 10 charges for a fire ball type spell that did 6d6. It made the mine pretty easy to clear out.

Nashkel Mines, correct? And the cleric would be Branwen. Gotcha.

That's interesting. I don't have BGEE, so it's interesting that all three of the new npcs are available so early.

Is this worth the price tag? How is the new content and overall does it feel like a justified purchase.

Yeah, that journal is a godsend. When I first played baldur's gate, I really enjoyed it, but I kept forgetting what I was supposed to do and couldn't find out where to go. It really ruined the experience, even though I really liked the game. That feature alone(and the cheap price I guess) made me rebuy this game(doubt I even have my old cds anymore) so that I can actually enjoy playing the game this time around.

I like the idea behind the new journal a lot but it's buggy... New quests no being added, completed quests no being switched, scrolling doesn't feel right...

Overall, it seems to me that this applies to the whole game... I can feel that it could be absolutely awesome but there's so many very little things (bugs, balance,...) that add up it's annoying.
I'm really hesitating between keeping playing because it's still cool or waiting for a couple patch.

I like the new journal. There's definitely a weird scrolling issue with it though, but it's one thing I can say is an actual improvement. The UI I like as well, I always had a problem with widescreen mods for this making everything too small for me to read. I've had no crashing or performance problems, so for me I appreciate the way it works without going through the hassle of mods etc.

Level 1 D&D on the other hand is bugging the shit out of me. I kind of wish they started with BG2
