Jotra 81 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I personally think that BGEE is in great shape after the 1.2 patch. I wouldn't ever go back to playing vanilla BG now, but that option still exists for those who wish to do so. So it would be nice if people could behave themselfs. Anyway can't wait for BG2EE coming out this week. Time for another couple playthroughs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Monte Carlo 4,908 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I might get it once full mod support for the Pocket Plane classics comes out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bartimaeus 2,415 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) I might get it once full mod support for the Pocket Plane classics comes out. Pocket Plane [Group] classics? What do you have in mind, exactly? Only PPG mods I'd have installed would be some bits of Unfinished Business, (not all of it, mind you), some of Quest Pack, and...er...Ashes of Embers' weapons component...if it hadn't be superseded by Nythrun's Level 1 NPCs. Honestly, I find a lot more (to like) at Spellhold Studios and the Gibberlings 3. Edited November 11, 2013 by Bartimaeus Quote Put fascists and sociopaths on your ignore list.

Bartimaeus 2,415 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Monte wrote the BG1 romance mod. Ah, yes, that would explain a bit. Personally not a big fan of NPC/romance mods...and actually, the longer and longer it has been since Baldur's Gate (2) was released, the more and more I find all the NPC party members fairly two dimensional as well as extremely annoying. I also tend to build my own parties, (these last few years, anyways), and play with the harder of the SCS components, so that might affect it a little, too.

Mamoulian War 1,998 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Haha. no clue. For PnP Pathfinder I prefer roleplaying clown type characters, last time I had Gnome Barbarian with Animal Fury Rage Power, biting every monster in the ass or tail with his secondary attack Have not really studied UC and UM Base Classes and Prestige classes. In computer DnD games, I always played Mages though... Quote Sent from my Stone Tablet, using Chisel-a-Talk 2000BC.

It's a bizarre piece of necro-pricing that treats the game like an antique treasure. Which it is, but then again you can buy it for pennies elsewhere and mod the hell out of it. Well if you go to GOG you can pick up BG and BG2 for $19.98, then use the fixpack, unfinished business, that trilogy mod, several tweak mods, and the widescreen and likely get a similar experience(if slightly superior). Of course, there aren't sorcerer or monk kits and you can't fap to a twilight esquire romance, but I don't care about the former and can always go to a porn site when I want the latter. Or you could be in a Mac and the EEs are the only viable solution to having a stable game, but why the **** would you want to be on a Mac? 2 Quote "I am the expert, asshat." - Hurlshot "You need to be careful, lest I write another ten page essay on mythology and how it relates to Sailor Moon." - majestic "I won't say what just in case KaineParker is reading" - Bartimaeus "Oh no!

Monte Carlo 4,908 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 ^ I've got TuTu or whatever its called and all the BG2 kits are in BG1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Serrano 546 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) The multiplayer matchmaking is working now and it makes it easy to get a session going if that appeals to you. Beamdog also made an arena combat module called the Black Pits which is great for just diving in with other players and killing monsters. The interface, spellbooks and journals are more user-friendly in EE as well. I'm not saying a modded BG series isn't the best option for some people but the EE version is much less hassle (now) and both options have their own unique perks and drawbacks. BG2 will cost about £20 in the UK, which I'd agree is steep, but then again I suppose you can't go much lower without finding it difficult to justify the time and energy than went into EE in the first place.

I use BGT, which lets you play BG and BG2 as a continuous game. I find it nice to go through BG as a Cavalier, smiting everything I see with a greatsword. Perhaps I will try TuTu later.

rjshae 9,616 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 $25 is steep... if you're from North Korea and aren't allowed to use a PC. Otherwise I look at it as blip--a minor service charge for saving me the time of modding up my copy. Plus there's whatever content they added, of course. 1 Quote "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats." Link to post Share on other sites
