Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear Pre-Release Thread

Every new NPC and even a freshly made PC have color schemes that aren't in the inventory color palette. I want to see an expanded palette with more colors including those you can choose from in Shadowkeeper.

We have greatly expanded the color palette available to the players.

The new color selection sliders were shown during the twitch stream when Mark Meer demoed character creation for us.

Well I am hoping for a good game and hope they improved enemy spellcaster AI.

Could you guys take a page from Pillars of Eternity

God please no ..

 

[ArchAngel]

Could you guys take a page from Pillars of Eternity and just give us a stash that all of our loot teleports to? It's fucking irritating trying to play through BG1/2 these days with the shitty ass inventory system.

Dear god, please don't. That PoE stash is one of worst new things.

Exactly why. I'm tired of 10 slots to carry my items with and after 8 playthroughs of Baldur's Gate I'd rather not have to fiddle with inventory spaces anymore.

Because you pick up everything and put your brain on autopilot. It also allowed the game to give us so many trash components for stuff we never needed to craft.

Is the Ammo Stash mod implemented in the EEs?

Someone didn't play on PotD.

You mean the difficulty where tank and spank still works?

PotD is the magical panacea that makes PoE combat good to some people around these parts

What Happened When I Set It To Path Of The Damned Changed Everything

See, I liked the combat. It's crunchy, reactive and overall more fun than BG. I don't hate BG, I think BG beats PoE in terms of story, exploration, size, music, characters, everything, but I don't like the combat as much.

Then you are a tool.

Twitch stuff uploade to YouTube:

Hmm if you end BG 1 around level 6-8 and you start BG 2 with level 7, there will be no leveling in SoD ?

or it will be all a dream and you will wake up in the irenicus dungeon?

 

[eremita]

Trent seems to be buffed as fuck.

 

[polo]

Yeah shit, hes like Minsc with hair.

 

[abnaxus]

He's like a fit Mike Laidlaw.

 

[hoverdog]

Yeah shit, hes like Minsc with hair.

and the same wit.

When I read posts like this I feel like there is some competition on this forum for the title of next Hiver (who I have not seen for a while) that I have not heard about..

The game's supposed to be 25 hours long. Some stuff should happen in between, but you still lost some levels when you imported your char from BG+ToSC to BG2.

He said the new level cap will be 12, which is strange because classes level differently. Usually the level cap is a fixed number of XP.

He also implied that they are scaling the difficulty of BG 2 EE to fit the new level cap.

There is no level cap.

We have an XP cap just like BG1 and BG2 did. Certain classes may be able to reach level 12 under that cap, others will end up lower than that. And this is provided that you do everything that's possible in the game.

Will it make the beginning of BG2 too easy since you can start overleveled if you transfer characters?

We will address that. See here.

I know I'm gonna regret it.. but I am actually getting cautiously excited for this and am looking forward to purchasing all the EE packs and playing straight through all three games..

I wonder if they are gonna have a sale..

Lol JK - Of course they are gonna do a EE triple pack sell.
