I'm willing to bet they're gonna reveal something about Baldur's Gate!

I'm reminded of ReBoot.
In that nothing will happen, but it won't stop people from believing something will happen in the near future.

Beamdog studios will announce a BG1/BG2 port to iOS.

>>18337869
And i would finally of found a purpose to not be ashamed to own an iPad

They are going to reveal a remake! With scripted homoerotic relationships and high speed combat, all you need to do is take cover behind things and let your magic missiles fly.

The conversation options were a tad complicated for our target audience, so we have changed it to something along the lines of our recent Dragon age 2 game, where conversation choices are limited to; Funny, diplomatic or threatening. These choices are scripted as well, so there will be no confusion during the dialogue.

Hope you enjoy the next best seller!

Only hour to go.This will either be the biggest disappointment this year after the mess that Mass Effect 3 is, or finally a game to look forward to besides... uh.. besides... mhmm... besides... ahaha.. It seems after they basically cancelled Dark Millenium I'm not looking forward to anything.
>sadfrog.jpg

Ah... but just Imagine the Possibilities, guys.
>They announce a completly new Baldurs Gate-Game
>It's a Midquel, set after Baldurs Gate 1 and before the Shit that went down in Baldur's Gate 2.
>It focuses on your Companions that didn't make it into Baldurs Gate 2 and basically tells its own story unrelated to the mainplot, after CHARNAME killed his Half-Brother and went off for ADNEVTURE!
>You choose one of the NPCs from BG1 as Protagonist at the beginning, the game then changes slightly, when it comes to plot, interaction and the other companions you can get into your party.
>Every single one of the NPCs is now fleshed out properly, with shitload of Banter between the NPCs in the Group and the Protagonist and them commenting on your decisions, if its too far from their own alignment, they will even try to start to persuade you to approach things differently or attack you.

Would you buy this, /tg/?

>>18337867
I'm thinking of Eon 8, myself.
Whole lot of nothing.

One can hope, I think.

the suspense is kiiiiilling me D:

Do want!

>>18337861

Gonna be a 4e branded remake of BG.

>>18338222
Id rather play 4e in a videogame than on the tabletop. Not sure I want it in Baldur's Gete though.

>MFW I realize my mom threw out my BG1 disc while in boot camp

>>18338253
>Had only one disc

>>18338253
>Not killing your mother ritualistically as a step into becoming a true Deathstalker of Bhaal
You are clearly unworthy of possessing such a game.

Whatever it is, it's being made by some of the original staff for BG. Trent Oster is the head of the company doing it, Beamdog, and he's ex-Bioware along with most of the people there. I really hope it's not a shitty iPad version or something.

>>18338274
Believe it was one DVD. Game with my original PC in 1998.

>>18338283
Eh, it was a mistake and I forgave her for it. Makes up for me running away to the military.

"So, uh. I signed a 5 year contract with (x) and go to boot camp in a month. Pass the mashed potatoes, please."
"Wat"
"...pass the mashed potatoes, please..."

>>18338274
>That feel when I still have the 5 Discs lying around + 2 from Tales of the Sword Coast.

btw. Timer run out, nothing happened.

>>18338327
Why did you join the military?

>>18338335
Still says 56 minutes here, hombre.

>>18338335
It's still got an hour to go, the timer is clientside, meaning your clock is likely off.

>>18338293
The DVD collection has 4 disks, BG1, TOTSC, BG2, and TOB.

>>18338327
Let me guess; Army like a moron, AirForce to sit on your ass, Marines to kill shit and drink beers, Navy to bang dudes, or Coastie to take everyones shit?

>>18338327
I feel like there is a bad pun I could make out of that within my grasp, but I just can't nail it down..

If this turns out to be a fucking screamer, my jimmies will be rustled beyond mortal comprehension.

>>18338339
Honestly? I'd never say it to her face (love my mom, but I don't like her...if that makes sense) but it was to get away from her and the house. College didn't work out too well for me, and I have myself to blame. I drank, I partied, and I slept in. I didn't want to be -another- 20something living with his parents and living off two min. wage jobs, stuck in place. So, I joined up. I don't regret it, regardless of what I've gone through or anything. Just another thing for me, I guess.

>>18338381
Marines, because it was harder and I'd have to earn it. I'm not an infantryman like most would assume.

>>18338220
That would be a terrible rogue.
>lolstrengthlessroguein2e
>>18338381
Navy/Airforce to have a career when you exit, earning you $70k minimum/yr, typically in the $100-120k range.
Army to become a doctor.
Marines to be a moron.
Coast Guard is not technically military, so exclude that from any further harassment.

With all this BG talk, a definite shout out needs to go the the BG:Remake guys over on the bioware forums. If you haven't already seen some of their screenshots using the NWN2 engine you have been missing out. Hopefully it's finished by summer.

Okay, let's be optimistic.

What is the best thing that could happen?

>>18338410
New BG game.

>>18338410
Hot lesbians?

>>18338406
They've been working on it for ages.
Shout out goes to WEIDU's BG1 remake, giving it the BG2 engine and allowing you to seamlessly move from 1 to 2 without so much as a load screen.

>>18338410
The machine revolution.

>>18338406
Will do, of course.

>>18338399
While the funding isn't as high as the Army, the Corps has higher training standards (from what I could see before and after joining--the CSSB guys I had to deal with were..well, less than competent.) in terms of job proficiency and overall survivability. Getting out with CCNA, CCNP and CISSP certs does wonders for job seeking, all I need is server 2008 training and I'll feel better.

Y'know, aside from the whole "peeing on people" thing. There's an R Kelly joke in there, somewhere.

So, BG gameplay discussion.

I find that the most annoying parts about Baldur's Gate are the following 2 things.

1: 6 party member limit,
2: Inability to split the party.

My Bhaalspawn is a thief in my current game, a damn good one. Even with the enhanced AI mods she's a fucking murder machine. The problem is that the other party members are a huge liability compared to her level of power which was at level 13 when I started fighting doppelgangers due to me soloing a huge chunk of what can be done in Baldur's Gate itself.

I had to make trips back and forth between places in order to keep all the NPCs in one location. If I could just have them all in "squads" like how Jagged Alliance 2 handles shit, it would be much easier to take care of all the issues of the Sword Coast.

>>18338386
Well, my jimmies will be rustled if it's anything else than a new installment. Like.. a release for Mobile phones, a remake of BG for Consoles based on 4E or something like that. I'm really trying not to get my hopes too high because the vidya-industry will just smashe them again.. but I can't help it. I loved that game so much.
Please don't let this turn out to be shit.

>>18338417

>>18338417

Yeah, but with Bioware's last few products, I am not sure that actually is a good idea.

The trend goes to over simplified mechanics, standard cliche fantasy story and massive focus on the character interaction.

And don't get me wrong, the characters are one of the best parts of BG, but for a truly good game, you need more than that and I am not quite sure Bioware can deliver that.

>>18338436
You could always just kick everyone off your team and solo to your heart's content.

>4E Baldur's gate

>>18338443
It's not Bioware you fucking idiot.

>>18338445
Yeah but that was still something that was annoying, especially when I had to drag a whole bunch of them with me back and forth to places so I wasn't running all over the fucking region to find where I plonked down Shar-Teel.

>>18338445
That lack of inventory space

Main reason soloing BG games gets annoying for me, well except ToB.

>>18338450
That would barely work, 4e relies on grid and BG2 certainly doesn't use a grid. It would basically be Shining Force.

>>18338455
>>18338455
>>18338455
>>18338455

Okay, Guys, this is not funny. Who the fuck invited /v/ again?

>>18338471
I installed a mod that adds tons of cases and so on, the extra containers make inventory management a billion times easier.

Starting to wish I installed more high-difficulty mods though, thieves are overpowered with their backstab.

>>18338471
Except no.
If you're only using one character, why do you need inventory space?
Get a Bag of Holding, go to town (for BG2).
In BG1, there is nothing of worth to buy, anyway, so who cares about picking up random loot?

>>18338478
Or convert squares back to distance and have it work like ToE did (ToW, work? Hah).

How about they just make it 3.5? Fuck thac0.

>>18338455

BG I+II are from Bioware.

>>18338495
Because I'm mad about leaving no item behind.

And I'm pretty sure Bags of Holding have a capacity limit too.

>>18338488
It isn't Bioware. What is wrong with you? The most rudimentary fucking searching of information could have told you this isn't a Bioware project.

>>18338504
I'd rather the math was more user friendly for those who don't play AD&D. I had no clue what THAC0 and the saves were about. A toggle option at least.

>>18338510
>noitemleftbehind
I guess you're just being silly, then. Nothing I can really do about that.

I mean, ENJOYING THE GAME DIFFERENTLY THAN I DO IS WRONG AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD.

/end /v/

BG is pretty epic, play it how you like to play it.

>>18338510
It did, and there was only one bag of holding, even if you consoled in more than one they would all share the same pocket dimension. That has its own usefulness since you could give everybody one and put all the "I need this and I need it NOW" items in there.

>>18338522
...But it was even explained in the handbook that came with the game. Oh, you pirated it? Then you're a moron and deserve to be fucking left in the dark.

>>18338534
Thanks, now I have that stupid commercial stuck in my head.

>>18338551
>reading handbooks
>any year
I shiggy, I diggy.

>>18338527
Yeah, I know its a bit mad of me.
Maybe I should try to overcome it one day.

>>18338551
Actually I got it from my uncle second-hand but he had lost the manual. You think people would pirate a game that many GB in size back in 1998?

>>18338576
I remember doing that sorta thing with KaZaa and Limewire... course it would take a week to download and be in 600 parts...

>>18338563
>not reading the manual
>any year

Fucking shit, this isn't /v/, what's wrong with me

>>18338488
BioWare doesn't own Baldurs Gate anymore and they haven't been owning it for a long while.
This has nothing to do with BioWare

>>18338563
And that's how you spot a casual gamer.

$10 bet it's going to be a shitty iPad port.

>>18338712
Nobody cares about that casual and hardcore shit. It was shit then and it's shit now.

>>18338730
Yeah it's pretty casual to complain about that shit, I agree.

>>18338723
$10? Way to bet high, big man.

>>18338712
>implying a hardcore gamer needs to read manuals

If you go to the page source you see this:
<!-- March 14, 2012 -->
<!-- Shadowy Figure- Raise Dead : Infinity Engine -->

<!-- It is coming. -->

>>18338712

And this is how you spot a foreveralone. Sorry we can't all be as hardcore as you, 17th level master of chastity!

>>18338723
Yeah, we all -know- it's going to be an iPad port. But we hope it'll be amazing.

Yeah, the page source comments have been changing each day. There's normally another one at the bottom too.

Not the guy you're arguing with, but are you pointing at yourself when you post that picture? because he's the faggiest guy I've ever seen with his steampuke goggles and glued-on cogs.

>>18338757
He does, because he remembers a time where it was pretty much necessary. It provided additinal info on characters, riddles, enemies etc etc and in some part was even used as DRM because you weren't able to proceed without some hints from the handbook.

But since you are clearly from a time were handbooks only act a tutorials for retarded players, I kind of see your point.

Oh man, five minutes to go.

Otherwise... wow, it's fucking nothing.

It's been all over the news for weeks. So many people must be checking.

Sadness ensues.

Pic related. Face of site managers

<- I feel roughly the same as this zodiac right now.

There's no new game. Beamdog just wanted to count the server traffic so they could estimate how much they'd get for a possible game on kickstarter.

Suckers.

>>18338931

not sadness, just the /. effect

So, someone with access to the buldur's gate website has successfully performed a ddos on those jerks who share server space and are always leaving empty soda bottles laying around?

Never made more sense to post this.

>The connection has timed out

OH LAWD

So I got to the site, and it's still nothing. Ah well.

My manual was a PDF hidden in the game files on the CD.

I had no fucking chance of understanding thac0.

Huh... that doesn't seem TOO bad.

As long as it still works on my computer, which is pretty outdated.

>>18339013

that's some really brilliant math, there, buddy guy.

Honestly, I wouldn't think this is that bad. I prefer 2e over most and haven't much tried 4e, but it seems like the type that'd make for a better computer game.

sites not even loading for me anymore

BG don't need some "enhanced edition" bullshit? it's a shitty cash grab and legal refresh bullshit just on account of people still playing the game.

>>18339074
I wasn't implying that the 4th edition mechanics were worse, I was just implying that if they did switch over to them with the BG re-release fans would literally shit themselves with rage and butthurt, it would be glorious.

>>18339053
HD remake probably.

>>18339093
What qualifies as "HD" in video games these days anyway?

I expected *actual* Tic-Tacs... I was actually a little disappointed.

"So, with the fire trucks rolling for the #baldursgate servers, we're trying to stay way from the flames"

From ex-BioWare guy's twitter. Many lols.

In other news, it looks like a teacher of mine died around the time the countdown ended. He *did* seem like the RPG type. Hmm... I wonder.

THIS

SO

MUCH

>>18339341
As long as they keep it top-down.

Considering a chunk of the original team is working on it, and the technology and design philosophies of games have improved, this could be a COMPLETE TRAINWRECK or magnificent.

OH joy. As if /v/ wasn't already full of teeth grittingly irritating half-mad RPG nostalgiafags after DA2, now it's going to be completely unbearable.

And the worst part is they'll probably be completely justified, paranoia-wise at least.

I should just quit vidya before it breaks me.

>>18339316
Any bets on whether it is actual new content or just milking money from unfinished business?

If they actually do expand the game and game world I am definitely buying it. I would probably buy it if all they did was port it to 4e rules just for a different game experience. I'm such a sucker TT.

>>18339356
You mean isometric, top-down is Fire Emblem.

>> 18339370
Or you could just quit /v/, since it's fucking terrible.

No need for a "improved" remake. Get the glorious originals and send the money to those who DESERVE it.

They'll add a Day 1 DLC that allows you to use Boo as a normal group member. He'll play like Morte from PS:T and has the "Go for the eyes!" special attack.

>>18339415
>deserve it

None of the royalties for these games go to the original developers. They go to publishers who own the rights but had nothing to do with the release of these games.

>>18339467
And if you pay for the "Boo-Partymember Enchanced Edition" he will even become romanceable.

>>18339491

This is wrong on so many levels...

Know what's hilarious ? It won't be as good/BGII compatible as my BGTutu install with the few, select mods I installed after more than a decade of modding.
So, even if it's good, it probably won't be good enough to be worth a download.

More realistically :

>BGII announced for the next year, because why pay once when you can pay twice
>Lilarcor romance
>Boo as a playable, actual space hamster with a combat form, which can be upgraded with points acquired in multiplayer battles
>dialogue wheels
>over the shoulder optional camera
>"enhanced" menus for the console version --> only 20 spells in the whole game
>exclusive Watcher's Keep DLC for 9.99 !

>>18339506
But not nearly enough to make it disgusting.

>>18339370

And you think /tg/ is better? Where do you think the crazy RPGfans came from?

>>18339506

Boo gets around.

we all know how Minsc managed to keep him hidden after the part was kidnapped between BG1 and 2...

>>18339525
>Where do you think the crazy RPGfans came from?
When a mommy and a daddy love each other very much, they lube up a squirrel and insert it into the daddy's anus.

>>18339541
Minsc, actually a high level mage before his headwound, tapped into his latent magical powers to create a pocket dimension for Boo. Yes, we know.

>>18339341
>The Witcher Enhanced Edition
That's hardly comparable. It was just a large patch (that came out a year after release).

>>18339553
This is a large BG patch that's coming out 14 years after release.

>>18339553
Then what would you compare it too? Perhaps the Dragon knight saga?

>@riklaunim 1st rule of #bgee Don't break the fun. We're using the 2nd Edition D&D rules.

fuck year!

>>18339648
Applauds from here.

I mean, I'm one of those who wouldn't mind switching to third or even fourth edition rules, but this sort of an announcement is still nice to hear. It really tells of the love they're putting to it.

Hey, maybe they're adding in nonweapon proficiencies and all the other stuff the original games didn't have?

Holy shit /tg/, they haven't even released any details about it and you're already screaming "HERF DERF CASH-IN BULLSHIT DUMBING DOWN BULLSHIT"? What is this /v/ faggotry? Serious, calm the fuck down and quit 'sperging out over nothing.

>>18339580
It's not a patch at all.

>>18339582
Although I'm sure it must have happened, I have to say I can't think of any similar case.

>>18339723
MGS on Gamecube? (because FPS aim wasn't broken at all...)

Halo Anniversary edition? (shudder)

Can't think of any official PC ones off the top of my head though.

You know, when I was in high school playing BG, there was a girl in my classes who looked EXACTLY like Imoen. So one day I called her Imoen when I hadn't slept (finals) and I was asking for a lockpick to get into some room (I think there was a semantic connection there) and she was extremely confused. Totally different voice, though.

>>18339648
Woah. I completely disagree with that decision, but that takes some balls.

Or just laziness.

>>18339748

The Goldeneye remake?

>>18339648
Suddenly my opinion of this just went up.

>>18339648
This was pretty much the only solution.

If they'd switched over to 3e or 4e, they would have angered one of the two biggest sides in the edition wars. Keeping to the original system means that they don't anger any new player by picking everyone's favourite "worst system ever" and the fans of the game don't feel betrayed due to the rules change.

I'm looking forward to this, but I would've preferred a sequel.

>>18339707
>quit 'sperging out over nothing.
no can do- that's /tg/'s modus operandi

Ok /tg/, the only thing I have in the page is the logo and 0:00:00. I don't even have the background music. WTF is going on?

>>18339772
It's laziness. They don't have the time or money to rebuild the Infinity engine to run 3E or 4E or anything.

>>18339910
Well, if you are saying they don't have the time and money--which I agree with--then it isn't really laziness, is it? It's cold hard pragmatism. I can live with pragmatism.

>>18339916
And now that's got out, its all down again. I'll come back tomorrow.

>>18339934
Avellone has been talking about a possible Planescape2 for a few weeks now. But I doubt they'd get the license now. I suggested they use Oathbound as a close substitute.

>>18339934
I'd rather suggest Icewind Dale. Where could I put that one into?

>@mat_detorre There will be two games. Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition and Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition #bgee=BG+TotSC, bg2ee=bg2+ToB

>@guysholliday @Asthner We're very interested in supporting the modding community and hopefully kicking off even more mods #bgee

>>18339982
Might as well have put both as the same game, but sure.

the rumors continue!!!

>mfw

>>18340389
Well, BG2 did end in a very definitive manner, so I'm sceptical. But good luck with that, if it's good then I'll play it.

>>18340425

>implying BG3 couldn't follow a completely different story

>>18340592
But then it'd be In Name Only and that would suck.

OK guys. Keep it in this thread.

Twisted Rune might be restored.

>>18340622
Will do!

Never seen a sticky in /tg/ before.

>>18340620

I have literally no problem with a different story. NWN2 and all its expansions followed a different story than NWN1 and were all the better for it.

>>18340636
Where do you get these from? Twitter or Email or what?

If email, then what address? I'd have some questions too, but I'm too old-fashioned to have a Twitter.

>>18340638

That post with the cats is a sticky bro

But I get what you mean

From the other deleted thread
>Imoen incest romance There is already one of these.
The one we all know about with the rape and the herping? Or a not terrible romance mod for Imoen? Since I'm playing through right now and having a not-terrible option for a Imoen romance would be the dope.

>>18340645

It was via email, you'll find the address here http://www.overhaulgames.com/

I also pointed out bugs such as pick pocketable scalps etc. Also their maybe a retail release. They replied in a few mins.

I was hoping /tg/ could think of ideas and we could send a mega email.

>>18340672

God, that one was awful.

I've actually never seen a decent Baldur's Gate 2 romance mod.

What sucks is that while in vanilla dude characters have Jaheira and Aerie - essentially allowing you to choose between evil, sexy bitch and whiny, naive bitch, all chick characters got was FUCKING ANOMEN.

>>18340672

She gets [spoiler]raped[/spoiler] by [spoiler]Dwarfs[/spoiler] in Irenicus's dungeon as I recall

>>18340699
There was suppsed to be Valygar and Haer'Dalis, too. I'm sure both are added in this version.

>>18338023

You mean Viconia?

>>18340733

No, I meant Jaheira.

What, you find Drow sexy?

>>18340699

Man

The whole idea of a Jaheira romance is just kind of ick

Isn't she basically like your foster aunt or something?

We have ourselves a sticky, gents.

Mission fucking accomplished.

>>18340679

ask about romances. ask if we'll get romance options with Valygar and Haer'Dalis.

ask what specific new content they are putting in

ask about the possibility of persistent worlds

>>18340765
I'm in the process!

Anything else I should add?

Well... all elves do look alike.

It's not your /tg/ by the way.

>>18340876
1/10, you left it too long posting this for it to really be effective.

I know this will probably draw flack, but I'd like to see romance options for female characters expanded. Anomen is a fucking tool, and the option for Valygar and Haer'dalis would be good.

Especially if they allow for Haer'dalis to keep being a womanizer and doing absolutely idiotic shit throughout the game. I swear, I'm the only person who liked him as a character. Sure, he said some stupid shit, but that's half the point. Plus, y'know, he's a cheerful Doomguard. That's just solid gold.

>>18340896
No, it's mine.

>@pstinson42 @Abriael 100% chance of new voice actors for new characters. #bgee

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

>>18340910

No, I AM Spartacus.

>>18340903

I always let Haer'Dalis die horribly. I never could get to like him.

>>18340903
So.. basically that Faggy Elf Guy from DragonAge only in 2.0?

[spoiler] Though I would go gay for Coran anytime... [spoiler]

>>18340923
He had shifty tiefling written all over his character portrait and voice acting.

He lost major points when I found out that portal gem actually belonged to the wizard and he tried stealing it. I hate being lied to and tricked into mugging some innocent wizard.

I never played baldur's gate.

OP here, never expected I'd see this become a sticky. This has been a pretty awesome Thursday

Oh my god I'm gonna laugh so hard when people whose first RPG was Dragon Age play this and get surprised that people die when they are killed

>>18340923
>>18340948
Valygar and Haer'Dalis WERE going to be romanceable originally, so I can see this happening.

Hell, I could see Haer'Dalis being romanceable for males, because according to some developers he's open for anything. He even apparently has a sequal encounter with a male drow.

>>18340948

>>18340969
Don't kid yourself, they are gonna try for a 'wider audience'.

>>18340955
I liked his shiftiness. It's part of the appeal; he's clearly looking out for himself and ADVENTURE, and that's really all he gives a damn about.

Wait a second . . .
>Overly dramatic, declaims everything
>Tends to make decisions based on entertainment/shininess value
>Steals everything
>Unique heritage

There but for the grace of a Bhaalspawn, he's a player character.

>>18340903
Why not Keldorn? His marriage went to shitter and whatnot, he needs some love.
>>18340742
>Doesn't want to use his characters penis to smite the evil out of Viconia.
Now that is just silly. I can't play a paladin without dicking her to goodness.

So are they just selling you BG Tutu?

>>18341001
Plus the fix patches and whatever their new content mod is.

>>18340991

Actually I dunno if romancing Keldorn is kosher. He feels more like the party dad than a romantic partner.

>>18341009
Is their a official list of all the changes/improvements?

>>18341025
Eventually, I'm sure.

>>18341025
Not yet.
So far from the twitter they have said they are fixing the issues and updating to the ToB version of it.
So more or less BGT/TuTu and the fix patches.
Only semi interesting thing is they said they plan to fix Multi-Player.

On one hand, I can't play BG anymore because of graphical glitches so it would be nice to have a version that works out of the box on modern systems.

On the other, I don't like the sound of changes or additions to the game content itself at all.

What are the chances of a "no I don't want any of your new shit, just give me the base game" toggle?

Will they make Xzar and Montaron playable in BG2? Not that they are my favorites really, but I wouldn't mind if it was possible to actually save Montaron from Harpers, rather than get screwed over.

>>18340672

This. I'm already going to buy it, but if I could ask for one thing I'd ask for an Imoen route. She was waifu tier.

>>18340969

Time to show them how men play DnD

captcha: The veGaxic

>>18340969
or that they have to read walls of text

>>18341083
Agreed. She was like the only girl you actually had chemistry with, and she turned out to be your sister. Figures.

Fuck that shit, gods do incest all the time.

>>18341098

I dunno, the Aerie romance sort of had chemistry.

If you count almost literally having to babysit her for the entire thing as chemistry.

I actually laughed when I found out that in order to get a good end you're NOT supposed to have sex with her.

Also why are we talking about the romances can we not talk about bad motherfuckers like Firkraag, who taught exactly how to play Red Dragons as a DM?

>>18341086
They solo it as Kensai/Mage?
[spoiler]Now if spoilers did work on /tg/ I'd write here that I never actually tried to solo play BG, or even tried Kensai, or Kensai/Mage combo. God tier Berserker all the way, or cavalier.[/spoiler]

truer words were never spoken

I truly can't wait to play this again. I hope there's an option so you don't have to wait 15 minutes for your party to walk down to the docks. And an option to play babby minsc.

>>18341315
I know it's not the point, but it is true and it will constantly get dragged around like an argument. And gods below help us they try comparing to action RPGs that are actually good.

Lemme put it like this. Writing is exotic seasoning. Gameplay is the meat. Nice roast plus good seasoning? Perfection. Now, if the meat is done well you can still have a blast without any decent seasoning, but if the meat is shitty seasoning won't save it. And BG games haven't exactly aged well, nor do they cater to the same audience modern mainstream RPGs do.

>>18341388

Dispel Magic doesn't dispel everything. Spell Turnings, Spell Deflections and Spell Traps will prevent you from clearing their other buffs. Spell Trap is especially nasty, and your Dispel Magic still has to roll to defeat each spell.

there's a damn good reason for there being so many Breach and Pierce-Magic type spells. Dispel is more for Slow, Charm Person and other emergency defensive dispelling.

also, you can't dispel what you can't see.

I wish there were more options to convert other NPCs to different alignments through quests. I'd like to have an all-evil party (for the look of the things) with more variety than:
>CHARNAM
>Edwin
>Korgan
>Viconia

And some neutral fucks until Sarevok shows up. The option to keep NPCs through BG1 would be good.

Come on, can you imagine the hilarity of Xan in BGII? Or Eldoth, who takes douchebaggery to a whole new level.

I don't get what everyone is flipping their shit over. They haven't even said what this Thaco system is yet.

>>18341442

Speak for yourself, my game was like a roller coaster made of explosions.

>>18341424

>>18341388
From my experience, most of BG and BG2 bosses cheat (broken stats, innate immunities, SR, haste and so on) so much you can forget about dispelling them.

Especially Irenicus. He's literally immune to everything for several minutes; the most successful tactic against him is to sacrifice someone to draw him away from the party then huddle in a corner until all his spells expire.

>>18341491

>>18341496

Irenicus was ezpz

The hardest fights for me were against the dragons.

>>18341491
I'm the guy that first commented. I don't even give a fuck about how gay you are, if you don't see that then you're pathetic. I was pointing it out so that you would see that it's not at all /tg/ related, but that even blew right over your head.

You know, Greebo Gyjax, the guy who bought D&D.

>>18341496

actually, no, Jon Irenicus isn't invulnerable for more than the short round during which he appears from the door and various special scripts and dialogues fire. in fact, if you're a cheating little bastard yourself, you can exploit your Spike Traps and stack them all under where he will appear and they go off simultaneously, instantly chunking him.

what probably happened to you is that he puts up Spell Traps to protect his buffs from being stripped. you need high level spells to pierce Spell Trap, so if you were an anime faggot multiclassing everyone with levels in Fighter and didn't bring a strong Mage with you, you'll be shit out of luck, but he's not invincible.

So is Bleach.

There's nothing like equipping two rings of wizardry and preparing Nahal's reckless dweomer 16 times.

Who the FUCK is Alaundo?

>>18342176
Wise sage dude in ADnD FR setting books.

>>18342176

http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Alaundo

>>18341496

Install the unofficial fixpack. In the original game the Dispel Magic code is bugged.

Normally, you're supposed to roll a check modified by how high the level of the caster was in order to remove magic protections. In Baldur's Gate, the code is bugged - Dispel Magic always works against casters lower level than the dispeller, but always fails against higher level casters.
Inquisitors always seem to succeed their dispels because it's calculated at double their level, and very few things in BGII are above 20 or so.

>>18342047

it's not an iOS port, pigfucker.

>>18342354
My favorite was when you'd cast spells and get no feedback. The animation just blinked out on the opponent's sprite and that was it.

Easier to do a kensai/mage.

>>18342419
Its effectively BG made pretty and ported to the iOS. You can play this on the PC, sure, but why do that when you have tutu?

Will we still be able to kill drizzt ?

>>18342506
Considering Baldur's Gate 2 explicitly lets you ask "Aren't you supposed to be dead?" and the person you ask immediately dismisses the comment, I'm sure you'll be able to still kill him.

People in the Forgotten Realms have a habit of not staying dead.

>>18342594
except for the MC

>>18342639
Yeah, it really should only be game over if he is obliterated beyond restoration.

>>18342646
I always found it hard to believe that Imoen or Jaheira wouldnt go about reviving you

>>18342651
What if it's just not possible to revive a Bhaalspawn?

>>18342651
Considering divine spark and all it might be the general rule that to revive someone of such power requires a LOT of blood sacrifice.

>HEYA IT'S ME, IMOEN in glorious HD

>>18342730
>but she still won't be a romance option

>>18342694

Actually anything with divine spark that gets killed or destroyed is DEAD FOREVS and can never come back. According to Dieties and Demigods anyway.

This makes we wonder about Sarevok.

>>18342742
and imoen, she can die and be resurrected

>>18342742
>>18342754
Saervok you use some of your own divine spark to bring back.

Doesn't Imoen get her divine spark removed by Irenicus?

>>18342776
What about in the first game?

I mean, *I* know it's because her being a Bhaalspawn is a retcon, but still.

>>18340729
..w....w...will we get finished sidequest material, like Jan's old flame's quest with all that "Hidden" stuff?

I would buy a whole new game just to have that in it.

>>18342776

Yeah, but so do you, and you both get it back when you defeat Irenicus.

>>18340969

>>18342819
Gah, how did I forget that she was in BGI?

Yeah, either retconnings or main char can't ever die syndrome. Which are both common afflictions in video games and never quite work in universe.

>>18342916
I read somewhere that was because the scripting of some plot events required CHARNAME to be alive and able to enter dialogue, hence they had to make it impossible to have them all greyed-out and not there.

Flimsy justification, but I'm okay with it. Only point of contention is Sarevok/Imoen, but that's been discussed.

Also: I wonder if the 'new characters' means potentially new party members?

Personally, I think all we REALLY need characterwise is a few more evil ones slotted well enough into the existing game, and hopefully make 1-2 of them open to romance. I'm not big on the ME-style "Bioware Romance Game with added RPG elements and some story somewhere," but the only time I finished BG2 was with an evil female character, and I didn't even have Anomen in the party, and probably wouldn't have even stood for his bullshit.

>>18343083
they should have at least put in a 3 minute timer so you could bring yourself back

with writing like this, you know it's good

>>18343108
That actually wouldn't be bad. Gives it kind of a "oh fuck he's fading away oh fuck heal him heal him oh fuck" feeling.

I'd actually laugh if they just had it so Biff the Understudy came out to do all CHARNAME's dialogue if they weren't there.

Biff for protagonist?
Biff for protagonist.

>>18343157
that would be a cool easter egg if you allowed your character to die in candlekeep and have him become the new main character

>>18339362
>Considering a chunk of the original team is working on it, and the technology and design philosophies of games have improved,

Technology has improved. Design philosophies have gone to shit.

The whole reason people jump for these things is because they want the old school, non-sellout, non-compromising design instead of Mass Effect.

So they're gonna flesh out BG1 with companion interactions and all that shit like the BGNPC mod tries to do? Fuck yeah, I always loved low level AD&D.

>>18340679

There's a text file somewhere that lists every known unfixed bug in BG1 and 2, I wish I had it. These guys need it.

And you know what? I'm still going to buy the shit out of it, and spend two months in a dark cellar playing the games without pause.

I wonder if we'll finally get a finished version of everyone's favourite mod when it comes out, too!

>>18343632
In that case, you are either a retard or just a fucking idiot.

Shit, it would be damn awesome if you could pick which party to bring with you to Amn. Having a canon party totally sucked ass.

>>18343632
dear god I hope not.

Sorry, that was reflex. The touhou tides have lessened, but much like Bronies, i found it in all of my favourite hobbies and it proved irritating.

Enjoy away. Also, I imagine its JUST a graphical overhaul, and finishing a few quests/sub-quests that got cut or sheared.

If they worked with the mod community half their work would be done.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The responses to the "mod" in question from /tg/ have been so humorous that over time, posting images of it in BG-context threads has become a conditioned reflex.

Not that I wouldn't play the mod if it existed, of course, but at this point I'll be damnably glad for a Baldur's Gate remake. And while the games are immensely content-rich already, I can't help but hope that we'll get even more sub-quest content.

Also, XP gains for BG1 should be heavily adjusted, if I recall correctly. While I barely touched the XP cap on my first playthrough, on my 2nd and thereon, I had a bad habit of being level 7 before even entering the city proper. And popping off the level cap altogether just made the game child's play.

"Hey guys I did all the optional shit and I hit the level cap in chapter 5 wat do?"

>>18343785

I was level 5 by the time I left the Nashkel mines. Lots of sidequests.

I get the lockpick EXP from BG2 due to the trilogy mod. I was level 3 upon leaving Candlekeep.

>>18343843

How much XP do you get for lockpicking, exactly?

>>18343785
Pretty much, pretty much. I couldn't help it really. The whole game was about adventure, and damn if it didn't provide - I knew there was a big juicy mystery at the end of the road south, but there were just tons and tons of temptations along the way, so that I wound up meeting things such as sirines enslaved to ogre mages and the fastest dart thrower of the sword coast, and punting them all in the balls along the way. With Jaheira and Khalid bitching every step along the way over why it's taking so long.

It's based on your level, Levels 1-4 you get 250, after that it's 400, but I don't know the exact rate of increase but it is a very good way to get EXP while soloing.

>>18343941
on tutu you only get like 10-50xp

>>18343982
Yeah, unless you fine-tune it it rips the everloving fuck out of EXP rewards.

>>18343843

Is there any way to get a higher level cap on BG1 outside of Swordcoast?

>>18344360
i think you can remove the cap in the .ini file
