Baldur's Gate 2:SoA

That is so awesome

 

How do you do something like that?

[Gabrielle]

Learn the modding tools, read the tuturoials on how to mod X or Y and look at examples of things done from the game or other mods. That's how I learned. Start small and work your way up.

Wicked, thanks

I started a NPC romance mod of my very own but I lost interest at the moment. She's a drow character from my old PnP days.

Hehe, I was all about the Breach too.

 

I also had my main character as a Paladin that equipped the Carsomyr which would dispel many things as I wailed on people.

 

It's a fun game, but I found it to be a bit too much of a munchkin gamer's wet dream

[Darque]

I totally need to make a an NPC to stick in there

 

Edit: And some evil magic items too

Would I have to restart my game if I use any of these mods?I'm not that far in but I don't really want to do the beginning again.

Not necessarilly. It depends on the mod. Usually a mod mentions if a new game is required.

 

But if you install mods without starting a new game you always run the risk of something not working properly (although to be honest, that risk exists when you restart as well).

Modding is easy once you get the hang of it. Way back when (BG1) I made items for the game and when BG2 came out I made a couple of mods. I'm currently working on two npc mods.

I have currently only 5 NPCS in my party, adn am curious as to whether it matters how many people one keeps in the party. I usually go with full group, but I thought that small incresed experience might matter. Anyways, thougts?

[alanschu]

The total party size is 6, including your PC. Sounds like you've hit the max.

[Walsingham]

The NPCs are there for their bizarre interjections in the story, and carrying random objects.

[Spider]

The XP increase will probably not matter much, at least not unless you get rid of the level cap. I've always reached the cap way before the end with a full party.

Ah, typos. What would I do without you? I meant to write 4, of course.

 

I'm just entering the City of Caverns(le sahuaginville) and so far all has been a blast. I've had no problems with combat(can you say Breach? can you?!), mainly due to the overall munchkinism of the game; alas, I play for the interactions and just plain to enjoy the atmosphere and flow. Interaction with Viconia rules sometimes quite a bit too....

 

Anyway; if there's one thing I've done wrong; it is to get stuck in Spellhold for hours and hours because I didn't happen to take one damned stake with me and I thought the dungeon had some. I scoured for it till no end and had to restart from an earlier save, about 6 hours back. Then something bugged in Brynnlaw(ol'pirate isle) and this contact I was supposed to speak to was hostile to me, which sort of irritated me. Thank god for bribery, I got to Spellhold again afterall.

 

Yes. I do love this game.

I hate it. It's become a headache to me.

[Spider]

!'m 99% sure that there are stakes in Spellhold. I'm not totally sure where, but I think in or just outside the library.

 

I wouldn't have gone back to an earlier save in your position though. Either Shadowkeeper or the games concole would have come to my rescue.
