ramza Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Where to start? Well, I am in chapter 5 right now, in Kuldahar and there is a nice guy (Conlan I think) who sells some nifty stuff, including a mercenary bag (which acts like a bag of holding). I have to admit here that I am cheating fiend and that in every IE game, I have used the CLUAConsole cheat thing. Don't get me wrong, I usually don't cheat but there are two reasons I am doing this. First of all, I don't have much free time, so in order to finish some day those damned games, I need to make things a bit easier (get free gold, raise my levels a bit, create some items) as I don't want to be carrying useless stuff and start selling it to any shopkeeper, etc. Secondly, I am an magic item collectioner, which means that I want to have in my inventory every single item with magical properties that I come across in the game. I now that sounds crazy as I even keep every ring of protection +1 that I find. Since the IWD games use a random treasure system (and a treasure system based on the difficulty level in IWD2), I use the CLUAConsole cheat to create the items I haven't found. Now, with magical bags, I have enough space to store these items, even though things have been tough for me in both IWD games. Moreover, in IWD1, I could put those items in closets in Kuldahar (as this town was somehow your HQ). In IWD2, since you always have to move from one location to another; item storage becomes a difficult and obsolete thing. In the same game, you will find many storage items like a bag of holding and the mercenary bag. I have used the cheat commands to create those items at the beginning of the game and this has proved to be quite useful. By reaching Chapter 5, I made a stunning discovery. When I bought the mercenary bag that was offered by the shop (I did that just out of curiosity), I noticed that the items stored in my cheat-created mercenary bag couldn't be found in the former. That meant that I could store other items in my newly acquired bag! Now, my problem is that when I came across the bag of holding on the Bridge Battle (in chapter 1), I threw it away thinking that it shared the same inventory as the one I had created with my cheats. Now, I regret doing this and try to find a way to make this OTHER bag appear again. Does anyone have a clue about how I can achieve this? I have tried every cheat command for that specific container but all the other bags shared the same inventory as my first one. Cheers. "Ooo, squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them!

roshan Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 IWD2 has really ****ty loot. I had to wait until the end of chapter 2 before i got the first magic 2 handed sword for my fighter. Lootwise icewind dale 2 was garbage. One of the reasons why i didnt enjoy combat in iwd2 was that at the end of combat you didnt get any loot as rewards (and due to my low number of characters, no xp either), which meant that combat was useless.

ramza Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 Actually, I solved my problem: I had kept a save file just before the bridge battle and after finishing the fight and having created a bag of holding with the cheats commands, I looted one of the bodies and found the bag of holding I had dropped away. To my satisfaction, I discovered that it shared the same inventory with the one I had created. This means that the "double container bug" only works for the mercenary sack. Anyway, everything goes well since I don't have to restart the game and I now have 2 mercenary's sacks and one bag of holding! :D "Ooo, squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them!

ramza Posted February 2, 2005 Author Share Posted February 2, 2005 Well, let's say that I just am a perfectionist.

Nightblade Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 It's easy to get stuck on the Jefferson idea. Games like BG1&2 have such atmosphere that people end up replaying them half a dozen times. Imagine a similar game with an even better storyline, and better graphics. It's not easy to hear: "It's dead and buried, move on!".. and the only thing you have to look forward to is a bunch of glossy soulless consol-games, and some star-wars crap. I'd take another slam-dunk infinity-e IWD3, or half a Jefferson over anything that is scheduled for the next 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my first +5 weapon straight after the goblin assault on the docks. Admittedly I was playing HoF mode with a new party - just 1 level 17 Dwarven Barbarian, some choice items (ring of every god etc.) and a lot of +4 and +5 ammo to sell to be able to afford the items on offer. You're obviously just doing it wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
