>>728915693Hey, nice to see ya. Hope you've been well.
>>728915693Miss me with that unc shitBaldurs gate 2 Enhanced edition was better
>>728915906Faggot
>>728915693It's me, that dating simulator you loved when you were a sexually frustrated 15-year-old. Unless you were a girl or a fag and you only had that one crappy romance option.
>>728916489BG2 unironically has very little dating sim stuff, the romances all each have like 3-4 conversations over the course of 40 hours.
>>728916520You can permanently lose party members as a result of your dating decisions, so I'd say it's a fairly important part of the game.
>>72891569320 years ago I agreed but I tried replaying it last Christmas break and had to drop it after maybe 30 hours invested. So much tedium (whoops you killed the enemies but one of your guys was confused and killed your main and now you lose; whoops you hit a trap and it's faster for you to just reload; etc) and the actual combat/gameplay isn't fun enough to keep me going.
BG1 is better. Especially the Tutu mod, but even the original TosC.
>>728916735
>Doesn't date dwarves>Doesn't date half-orcsCan there even be any based goody-two-shoes racists that are not Aerie out there? I'm guessing not.
>>728916769He's right, BG1 is tighter and the NPC's are less obnoxious
That emotional feeling when you have played it a bunch of times and you can't enjoy it any more. >>728916648The main source of tedium in BG2 is the fact that every single combat encounter involves mid to high level spells and effects with higher level creatures that have immunities and shit. It involves a high amount of micromanagement that quickly gets tedious. It's not on the level of the Pathfinder games but it's still a lot to manage. One other thing is that the combat music gets old very quickly although you can just mod that.

>>728915693infinity engine games are great and writingwise, bg2 is a great game and i love the game but personally i preferred icewind dale.
>>728916810>will cuck you with a tiefling though
>>728916918Why you little... Yes I know about the PAUSE MECHANIC... Everything I said still applies.
>>728916985I got burned out on IWD right near the end and never finished it. Managing the gargantuan mob hordes got so tedious.The streamer Davaeorn was just did a playthrough of modded IWD:EE that looked awesome. Wish I could've gotten the modlist.
>>728916987That's only if you act like a Whi- I mean, Lawful Good person, and don't pick the obvious chimpout dialogue choice that will turn her off.
>>728915693I started playing the black pits and I'm having a good time. Seems to work fine with SCS so I had to run around the arena beating on the enemy caster until he went down which is why I'm not guilty over having an inquisitor in my party I'm not proud
>>728916993I swear we are moving to timeline where>man its tedium to press all of this controler buttonsactually we are there
>>728917250You're a pretentious retard.
>>728917072i can kind of understand getting burned out by icewind dale but also kind of can't. it is just constant dungeon crawls with constant encounters and that can get old pretty fast but it also has nothing else to burn you down except the tedium of playing dnd dungeon crawls from that edition
>>728917491I think for me the problem was that the entire game is moving towards the main quest. There's no diversion. By the time I quit I was pretty disinterested in what was even going on, and there's nothing else to do. No side ares or side quests, no party members. Just a straight shot through the MQ.
>>728917193>I started playing the black pitskys, troon
>>728917715It's better in multiplayer, where you get your party banter and diversions from a real person.
>>728917834Y-yeah...
>>728917715true. there is no freedom. it is just a linear line of dungeon crawls. that is the main selling point of the game, being just focused on long, well designed and kind of hard dungeon crawls. that is of course its main weakness as well. no freedom to do sidequests, to wander around doing shit and gain better gear.it is just going towards the next dungeon crawl. it's the sort of thing where "if you like 2nd ed you will like this" but "if you want a good DM and interesting dialogue you play BG2" if you want to make powerful metabuild and want a gygaxian dungeon, you play iwd. if you want an rpg experience that you can play and then move on, play bg2
>>728918284I agree with you except BG1 is better in literally every way. Freer exploration for better emergent gameplay and more side quests.God I hate BG2.
>>728915693Yeah, it's the best. It has a bunch of flaws, but the overall production quality, interesting combat (despite various problems), fun NPCs, kino exploration in act 2/3 in particular, also pretty good mod scene... it's unmatched.
>>728918403>comparing bg1 to iwdwhy?even if you hate bg2 there is little reason to compare icewind dale to bg1
>>728916874You can freely explore all the city areas which contain a shitload of content. I agree BG1 explorable wilderness is great and BG2 would be even better if it had that, but the city areas in BG2 are very good.
>>728918753What? I meant I agree with you except I'd replace BG2 with BG1 for all your points.
thank you my sweet sweet Aerie for tasking my virginity so gently
>>728918403>freer exploration for better emergent gameplayIt's just a lot of empty wilderness and monsters though not particularly enthralling stuff
>>728916735BG1 felt like a true adventureBg2 is the railroad hunt for Irenicus, though it was still enjoyableI really enjoyed the more fleshed out interparty dialogue+romance in 2, even if it meant less recruitable companions
>>728919729The romance panders too much to the player. It seems like Khalid is killed off just to make Jaheira available for romancing. She gets over his death in five minutes and is immediately looking for a new cock, specifically yours.
>>728915693hello king
>>728917143if you don't chimp out she leaves you for him. so its lose/lose

>>728926000>party has zero gnomes
>>728926000>dorflessishygddt
>>728915693I quite like it but I think the game's format is extremely bizarre. All the side content is extremely frontloaded, with the main story being almost entirely linear. It's my second favorite but I think FO1 is my overall favorite
>>728926460The entirety of Chapters 3 through 6 cause such irreparable burnout it actively harms the legacy of the game. There isn't a single person alive who fondly looks forward to going to Spellhold.

I prefer my RPGs turn based. If I have to focus on microing everyone I am more inclined to just try and I know that isn't going to be as fun.
>>728926558Chapter 2 is such a massive high point in the entire franchise that when people think of BG2 its all they think about. Irenicus is done decently enough to make what follows Chapter 2 bearable but it really cannot be overstated how much better the free form questing is. Athkatla is such a good hub, it makes BG in BG1 look like a shitty dump in comparison. Amn in general is a massive step up from the endless wilderness rectangles of BG1
>>728926962try to play solo*it ate it
>>728926000I've been sidetracked from my kensei/mage run thanks to the PoE2 league, made it to BG in BG1 and started to do tales of the sword coast before I cap off the game. My last save is somewhere on werewolf island

>>728927248At this rate I likely won't, not looking like I'll be finishing BG1 any time soon which is kind of a bummer because I won't be swapping to mage until BG2, and I'd like to see how silly stacking wizard defensive spells could get. My first run was a fighter/cleric and stacking buffs in that was quite fun, helps the flail of the ages is like the best weapon to ever grace fiction

I always roll an elf fighter-mage and it steamrolls the game just fine, and I get to cast in BG1.
>>728927997
>>728926000Playing a Blade this time. I like it. Offensive Spin with Longbow plus some spellcasting is really nice in BG1. Currently I'm in the Undercity about to go take out Sarevok. I've done pretty much everything except Aec'Letec.
>>728928028Meanwhile, I'm over here wondering what joy their is in using exploits to break the game's system. It's only a few steps away from using Keeper to give yourself unlimited money and set all of your abilities to 25.
>>728928204Tjat was onw thing about IWD: no spell vendors. Made Fighter-Mage a lot more balanced.
>>728927620The only way Kensai works for me in BG1 is as Throwing Dagger (For Kensai/Thief) or Throwing Axe (For Kensai/Mage). Trying to lean on the shield amulet and do melee just feels bad. And Dagger and Axe are good weapon choices in BG2 for the respective duals. Honestly though, if you want a fighter mage dual just go Berserker. Much nicer BG1. Kensai is best for thief duals or full throwing builds, IMO.
>>728926000NO NO DON'T DO IT DON'T TRUST THAT NIP
>>728928415Berserker/Mage is so fucking busted. Berserker alone is stupid enough.
fuck off buildfags
>Here is that Candlekeep kid I've been telling you about.
>>728928415>>728928487I'll never understand Berserker or Cavalier.>hey here's all these busted buffs BUT NOW YOU HAVE LIMITED OR CAN'T USE RANGED ATTACKS HAHAHAand then they let you use Azuredge/Klogarath with no problems. Or, you can just throw on Cheetah Boots and close the gap immediately.
>>728928358There are a few but their stocks aren't good. It's also one of the few D&D games where you receive high level spell scrolls that your characters have no realistic chance of reaching the level to learn, so you have to decide when it's worth casting them from scroll.
>>728928358>>728928693I don't mind vendors having fuckin' Limited Wish in stock. What I DO mind is being able to erase spells from the spellbook so you can re-scribe spells and gain XP again. That's some bullshit. But even that is limited by available gold, which becomes moot when using thief potions to just steal everyone's stock.Man, there's so many exploits in these games... I hate them, but I miss them...
>>7289156931 is better
>>728928095If you're playing EE, there's a hat in siege of dragonshit you can consolecommand into bg2 that extends your bard song by 2 rounds which makes weaving in attacks between songs much much easier.

I played partly through BG1 years ago, but I have free time now and would like to replay it, and with the same character, complete BG2. Lost the old save, so can't do it with that. Are there any mods that are good for the game? Should I do SoD? These games always struggle with weapon variety, due to the shitty proficiency systems, so which is good for both the games? Planning to play as a human evil fighter (original, I know), with the protagonist being the main tank and possibly dps. I always like having the main character as a tank. Willing to change class, if something is better, but I prefer martials with plate armour, not naked dex cucks.
>>728915693I played 1 and liked it decently well. I dropped 2 at like the 30 hour mark. It was mostly combat, and all of those RTWP games have terrible combat.
>>728933682As far as I know, its a mod that prevents Beamdog NPCs from spawning.https://argent77.github.io/A7-NoEENPCs/index.htmlI don't know if better mods exists
I played BG1-2 a few times but only the EE, will play the original versions this timeany mods I should use? what class do I go for? I like my MC being a front fighter
>>728934141>ModsModding BG is finnicky, don't do it for your first run through. Once you've gone through the game and figured out what you want/don't want, then some of the more popular mods to look for are:[Enhanced Edition Fixpack]Baldur's Gate [Enhanced Edition] TrilogyUnfinished BusinessAscension[Convenient EE NPCs][Improved Archer Kit][Rogue Rebalancing][Spell Revisions][Edwin, Valygar, and Imoen Romance Mods]Refer to mod hosting sites like Gibberlings Three for explanations of how to install and load mods properly.>Should I do SoD?If you use BG Trilogy yes, if you aren't using that mod skip it.>ProficienciesAlmost every weapon is acceptable, it's just that certain weapon types become magical and readily available sooner than others. Try not to think about that. Even if you aren't proficient, you can still use weapons that aren't class-locked to get through certain enemies with a bit of luck.>I always like having the main character as a tankFighters, paladins, and rangers all make great tanks. Your decision is fine.
>>728935625Thanks for the suggestions! I'm not completely new to BG, Steam reads 30 hours in the game, as well as 10 hours in BG2, though I do not remember it at all, except the starting dungeon. BG1 was a more recent, where I remember doing Durlag's Tower and the like. I also did a quick run to Neshkel, which prompted asking this. One of the bigger annoyances is the slow movement speed for traversing the maps. I guess I'm spoiled by Owlcat's games, but the faster movement speed is really noticeable. Is there a easy solution for that? Googling yields Tweaks anthology and/or upping the framerate, but I'm not sure about them.

>>728937445Thanks, I think I might apply the Classic Movies and Nostalgia Pack too
>>728938246My current playthrough of Icewind Dale has one and I'm really enjoying it.The party is loosely based on Order of the Stick due to low creativity at the time of making it. Since that party is a third edition group and Icewind Dale is second edition I had to change a bunch of them in various ways. Belkar got the worst of it because Ranger and Barbarian are both illegal classes for 2e Halfings, Ranger/Barbarian is an illegal multiclass in general and Rangers can't be Chaotic Evil. I ended up deciding on Cleric/ Ranger because his main jokes are that he has no points into his Ranger skills and he likes to kill people.I also didn't autism their stats any and just went with initial rolls. Fucking Elan (a Blade) rolled a 17 INT score, the highest in the party.

>>728930346Yeah. Bard Hat is on my radar. But I’m planning to use it as a reason to play through SoD for once. I’ve always skipped it before.
>>728940581Nice, this one sounds very interesting too. Thank you so much.
Elminster this, Elminster that, give me a pointy hat and 3000 years and I'll kick his arse
>>728918284I think there are a few simple incidental side quests in IWD1, like finding the blacksmith's son, freeing the slaves from the giants in the ice cave, restoring the rooms in the Hand by finding squirrels and fresh water, stopping the guy's wife from being a whore in Lonelywood, getting the ice rose for the guy, and a few other ones. That said, I'm fucking retarded and autistic and just keep playing IWD over and over.
>>728942064NTA but I'm gonna recommend the instant trap detection from the improved traps component of this mod collection: https://github.com/BGforgeNet/bg2-tweaks-and-tricksHaving to wait for detect traps to ping once every 6 seconds fucking blows, it turns looking for traps into WAY more of a chore than it should be.

>>728915693Call me a zoomer or whatever but I just can't get into BG1, I like CRPGs but it's just not clicking with me
>>728943053BG1 is too specific and it's a miracle BG2 was allowed to be made.
>>728943118Would I be missing out of I skipped to 2?
>>728943226If you're familiar with the setting of Faerun and the Sword Coast, then no. Otherwise, it's worth trudging through BG1 so you can better appreciate how much went into BG2.
>>728942697You meet him early in Throne of Bhaal, and he says you are far beyond his capabilities.You are child of god and literally ascend later assuming you managed to win by far the hardest fight of the game.
>>728943053I liked BG1 a lot more when I started thinking of it and playing it like an old school hack-and-slash rather than a CRPG. No pausing is easy to manage since each character has very little to manage at low levels and most of the power is in spamming consumables (mostly wands) and kiting.
Why didn't Elminster just kill the mindflayers?
>>728943226You will not like BG2 if you didn't like BG1's basic gameplay. If you thought its maps were too empty and there weren't any cool quests then you might like it more, but otherwise it's just going to filter you a second time.
>>728943226You would be missing the better game.
>>728916489>mfw my favorite character was an ugly half-orc with the pig face portrait that is hard coded to get no pussy in the game in exchange for his natural 19 STR and CON
>>728915693I don't like Throne of Bhaal. ToB lacks much of the adventuring spirit and feeling of progress as the first two installments because you already start at high level - it's essentially a dungeon crawler battle sim which satisfies only one component of the cRPG experience for me.
To this day, there's no other CRPG that makes you feel like a god in a way being a mage/sorc does in BG2.>enter the fight>all low level enemies instantly die no matter how many of them are there, including all trolls and umber hulks>wizard starts throwing literal miniature meteors from his pocket>he's surrounded by several sentient magic swords immune to anything and everything>notice a pesky rogue going invisible? detect invisiblity and instantly turn him into a wet spot on the ground>za warudo and stack a ton of high level spells on a priority target, killing it before it understand what hit it>engage in a complex web of spells and counterspells with enemy mage>whoops, a meleefag is rushing you? good luck hitting me through all my defensive buffs>jk lol, it wasn't even me casting all this shit, it was my projection, i'm actually on another end of the screen, ready to do this all over again?
>>728943462Or using Web and Stinking Cloud.>>728943480Because Ed Greenwood is terrified of nuclear warfare and thinks that if Elminster actually did something it would result in magical catastrophe that would slaughter thousands of innocents. It's better for Elminster to just not get involved and instead keep having crazy amounts of sex.
>>728943480they have 90% magic resthey are such a joke in BG3, in BG2 u need a full part of high level characters to fight and its still risky
>>728942679Thanks you, initially I'm not interested as I'm not someone who's fond of modding games but if while I'm playing I notice how right you were, I will save it and keep it in mind.
>>728943806A gated pit fiend can kill them all. I've done that before when I gave up.
>>728943226No, but I remember playing Baldur's Gate 2 back when I was a kid who couldn't finish Baldur's Gate 1 (too difficult), and felt initially overwhelmed by the amount of classes, spells, and the fact that you started at a higher level with a pre-made character. The writing seems to have minimal overlap between 1 and 2 (due to BG2 being mature whereas BG1 seemed more lighthearted and didn't take itself seriously), and you won't fully appreciate the cameo appearances of past BG1 characters that show up in BG2. But if you start with BG2 it shouldn't be a big problem.
>mfw being cheeky with the spike traps infront of various dangerous enemies that aren't hostile yet
>>728943713I feel more godlike playing an Inquisitor and reducing all spellcasters to a thin paste.
>>728943913Do you still get exp for killing them?
>>728927092>the lower level makes it more soulful and groundedHow fucking braindead do you need to be to hold this opinion?Low level D&D is roll the dice to see if you win or lose the encounter, barely any tactics or strategy
>>728943226Plot wise no. You can easily summarize BG1 in a paragraph. And the character cameos dont really matter since even people who beat BG1 may have missed any given character. BG1 is worth playing, but not for plot or writing, but rather as a party based rpg with open ended world exploration. Which is surprisingly rare.
>>728944038Nah, it's a last resort in that respect. Still pretty funny and effortless though.
>>728944010>mfw discovering set special snare x3 immediately kills most boss enemies in bg2
>>728943806Or a really good backstabber with boots of speed. One of the reasons I love playing Fighter/Thief or Kensai>Thief.
Reminder you are supposed to play zoomed in so chars are normal size like it was 800x600 not the default zoom out rts style retards at Beamdog set the game on.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMXkYtp5TXM

>one of the best party members mechanically>full to the brim with dumb banter that makes most people around him mad>suddenly a depressive as fuck quest that cannot be resolved in a way that would give him a happy end, the love of his life just goes back to her abuser
>>728944668>lol so randumbXDHe and Minsc both belong in the trash.
RTwP is so awful. Its the worst of both worlds
>>728944650How is this guy seeing the attack calculations?
>>728944953combat log, pretty sure its on by default but maybe u need to go into settings to turn them on.
>>728944661shut your goofy ass up dont you have a divinity thread to bitch about lizardfucking and satanism and shit?
>>728944661Set Special Snare is limited to one kit of one class, which otherwise is really weak (Single class thief). Spike Traps are a High Level Ability you aren't getting until 3 Million XP. i.e. Throne of Bhaal. But yeah, Spike Traps break the game pretty easily.
>>728944650I'll play however I want
>>728915906Wut? It is literally the same game, just with extra characters added that nobody cares about. When I replayed BG1 and BG2, I just completely ignored them.
>>728945035Thanks. Found it under feedback tab. Never realized here were options there, lol. One of my annoyances solved.
>>728944778Reminder that Valygar can get both Jan and Neera to shut the fuck up.
>>728944650You choose an appropriate level of zoom to frame the action and/or environment of interest. That shit's on your scrollwheel for a reason.
>>728945301Valygar was cool, I wish he wasn't struck with the Bioware curse of being unable to write dialogue for black guys.
>>728916489>dating simulatorNot even close. The Aerie romance, for example, is just a few paragraphs of dialogue and it culminates into a special ending in Throne of Bhaal. That is all.
>>728945818That's all RPG romance needs to be, honestly.
I like the classic Fallout games more
>>728945864If I don't see full penetration with the sounds of violated Jell-O filling up my room while a mocaped actress does her worst Meg Ryan impression and my FULLY CUSTOM APPEARANCE MAIN CHARACTER'S BALLS aren't swinging right in front of the camera followed by a clear cream pie, can I REALLY saw that I've had an RPG romance experience?
