Last time on Let's Insane Solo Baldur's Gate 2:

Lol.

Update #81: Liberation, Part I - One Man Army

bg2_up82_cs0.jpg


Mage is really starting to lag behind.

bg2_up82_cs1.jpg


Those 52 points wasted in Set Traps are starting to hurt my OCD.

bg2_up82_cs2.jpg


bg2_up82_cs3.jpg


The Codex is proficient in pretty much every important weapon out there.

bg2_up82_cs4.jpg


It is funny that being superhumanly strong only gives you 55% chance of bashing a door open.

bg2_up82_cs5.jpg


Ensuring that magic resistance stacks correctly is pretty annoying.

bg2_up82_cs6.jpg


Bodhi was apparently a more formidable foe than Firkraag.

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, no.

As for Demogorgon, you do not get get experience directly from killing him (just from completing the quest), so he does not count.

bg2_up82_cs7.jpg


And still no better helmet in sight than Helm of Balduran.

bg2_up81_000.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Does this 8 hour delay matter for my elven allies?

No, it does not.

codex_10.jpg
Pity. I was hoping they would have already been wiped out when I arrived.



bg2_up81_001.jpg

codex_10.jpg
There is no such thing as impenetrable wall of trees when you have fireballs.

bg2_up81_002.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Wait, has he actually bested me at any point?

He outsmarted you and took you prisoner in the asylum.

codex_10.jpg
That was cutscene bullshit, though, I had no way of preventing that.

bg2_up81_003.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Can't you find them on your own? I mean, you know the city and shit.

bg2_up81_004.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I'll take that as a 'no'.

bg2_up81_005.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This green magical thing near me looks like a...

Let's just move on.

bg2_up81_006.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Can I get some buff spells too?

bg2_up81_007.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I hate elves.

bg2_up81_008.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I wonder how many times can I make him say 'find Denim or Ellesime', because he seems incapable of speaking about anything else.

bg2_up81_009.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Checking the nearest door.

bg2_up81_010.jpg

codex_10.jpg
If golems could speak, this one would say 'you lost, pal?'.

I remember there was a speaking golem in the very first cutscene of this game.

codex_10.jpg
Told you, cutscenes are bullshit.

bg2_up81_011.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Hammer to the face!

bg2_up81_012.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I love this weapon.

bg2_up81_013.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Demin this, Demin that.

bg2_up81_014.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I was planning on loo- uhm, checking all houses anyway.

bg2_up81_015.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And speaking of 'checking'.

bg2_up81_016.jpg

codex_10.jpg
A pipe?

bg2_up81_017.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Ok.

bg2_up81_018.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Somebody put this in the drawer thinking 'will fix later', and promptly forgot all about it.

Happens to me all the time.

bg2_up81_019.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh shit, oh shit!

bg2_up81_020.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What? No autokill? :decline:

bg2_up81_021.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You've been reforged!

bg2_up81_022.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Raghead cat people, what a nightmare.

bg2_up81_023.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Did I mention how awesome I am to be able to sneak up on a bunch of cats?

bg2_up81_024.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Here, kitty-kitty.

bg2_up81_025.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Shit! Bad cats! Bad cats!

bg2_up81_026.jpg


Somewhat unexpected.

Death Count: 348

Load game.

codex_10.jpg
We need better target prioritization.

bg2_up81_027.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Maharajas need to die first.

bg2_up81_028.jpg

codex_10.jpg
The rest is just cleaning up.

bg2_up81_029.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Easy.

Would you mind stepping out of the cloud of death?

bg2_up81_030.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Relax, it's fine.

bg2_up81_031.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This building looks important.

bg2_up81_032.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Do I know him?

I don't think so?

bg2_up81_033.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Kill the caster first.

bg2_up81_034.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Alright. Now for the rest of you...

bg2_up81_035.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I've decided to take a short break.

bg2_up81_036.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This might prove useful.

bg2_up81_037.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Look at the bright side, you still have eight lives left!

bg2_up81_038.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This felt strangely satisfying.

bg2_up81_039.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fuck off, tin woodman.

bg2_up81_040.jpg

codex_10.jpg
When did Irenicus have time to build all these golems?

bg2_up81_041.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Have I? I don't remember.

bg2_up81_042.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I will play it safe, just in case they are demons in disguise.

Why would you worry about that after the killing the prince of demons?

codex_10.jpg
Point.

bg2_up81_043.jpg

codex_10.jpg
One at a time! One at a time!

bg2_up81_044.jpg

codex_10.jpg
See? There's plenty for everyone.

bg2_up81_045.jpg

codex_10.jpg
It seems like the time has finally come to use this famous artifact.

bg2_up81_046.jpg

codex_10.jpg
It works like shit...

bg2_up81_047.jpg

codex_10.jpg
The Coolhammer does not deal much more damage, but at least I can attack faster with it.

bg2_up81_048.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Is there a better weapon against adamantite golems?

If there is, I hope our readers remind us about it, because fuck if I know.

bg2_up81_049.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Well, that took a while...

bg2_up81_050.jpg


I forgot about the earlier level up, so now we get two at once.

codex_15.jpg
Awesome!

bg2_up81_051.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Haha, trolls.

bg2_up81_052.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Trolls, meet doom.

bg2_up81_053.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Doom, meet... Uh, nevermind.

bg2_up81_054.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Actually it was over when I arrived, but you can keep dying for all I care.

bg2_up81_056.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I am so glad I got this hammer.

bg2_up81_057.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Is anybody home?

bg2_up81_058.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Must have been a hell of a party.

There is a single corpse here.

codex_10.jpg
I never said it was a big party.

bg2_up81_059.jpg

codex_10.jpg
A wardstone, aka, "plot progress coupon when we can't think of anything else".

bg2_up81_060.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Wait, there's actually some writing on it.

bg2_up81_061.jpg

codex_10.jpg
More door!

bg2_up81_062.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I don't recall seeing this before...

bg2_up81_063.jpg


That is because we do not yet have this spell.

bg2_up81_064.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I WANT ALL THE SPELLS!

bg2_up81_065.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This glowing object with corpses all around it looks very encouraging.

bg2_up81_066.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh, this stone?

bg2_up81_060.jpg


bg2_up81_067.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Feels a bit like cheating at an exam.

bg2_up81_068.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Talisman? I hope it's awesome! :bounce:

bg2_up81_069.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh.

bg2_up81_070.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Time to bash some skulls!

bg2_up81_071.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Bash skulls? Get it? Get it?

Yes.

bg2_up81_072.jpg

codex_10.jpg
More elven lives saved... Why exactly did I do that?

bg2_up81_073.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh yeah!

bg2_up81_074.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I guess I've found Demin.

bg2_up81_075.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I approach any house I want to. problem?

bg2_up81_076.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And the dog dies too.

bg2_up81_077.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I hope she's hot and not some old lady living with her cats.

bg2_up81_078.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Seems like a little bit of both.

bg2_up81_079.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Have you tried feeding them? That usually helps.

bg2_up81_080.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Exploding kittens!

bg2_up81_081.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Damnit, who farted?

bg2_up81_082.jpg

codex_10.jpg
How about you step out of the killer cloud?

Ha!

bg2_up81_083.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh?

bg2_up81_084.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Meh...

bg2_up81_085.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh?

bg2_up81_086.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Not bad, although it overlaps a lot with protection from magical weapons, and takes a higher-level spell slot, so...

Ueseless?

codex_10.jpg
Useless.

bg2_up81_087.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Still worth knowing, though.

bg2_up81_088.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Apologies accepted... for now.

bg2_up81_089.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Stop stalling and talk!

bg2_up81_090.jpg

codex_10.jpg
'names I would have been proud to speak'. What does this even mean? Get to the point!

bg2_up81_091.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What the fuck are you talking about!?

bg2_up81_092.jpg

codex_10.jpg
So, he banged the queen and his sister was jealous? That's fucked up.

bg2_up81_093.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, I bet he carved a heart shape on the trunk with text 'J&B 4ever' inside.

bg2_up81_094.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Wait, so if I cut down that tree, all elves will die? :smug:

You are an elf too.

codex_10.jpg
I am half-god, so I would probably survive.

bg2_up81_095.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Huh, they ripped the elfiness out of him? How is that even a punishment? Especially for a wizard, who is immortal anyway?

bg2_up81_096.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, sure, he was going to turn Santa Claus, I would not have expected anything else.

bg2_up81_097.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I will kill him for my own reasons, such as, moving on with the plot and getting satisfaction from killing people.

bg2_up81_098.jpg

codex_10.jpg
A dragon, you say...

bg2_up81_099.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Don't worry about the streets, but I have a feeling that the palace door does not have a conventional lock, and may be warded against simple spells.

bg2_up81_100.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Ok, so get him to work asap.

bg2_up81_101.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Wow, an end-game fetch quest. Classy.

bg2_up81_102.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fine, fine.

tl;dr: We need to find three artifacts (moonblade, talisman and golden cup) to open the palace door.

codex_10.jpg
I think we have at least one of them already.

bg2_up81_103.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Out of my way!

bg2_up81_104.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Shit, it's Golem Rape Central.

bg2_up81_105.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You, elves, distract those hulking death machines for a while, okay?

bg2_up81_106.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What a bunch of losers!

bg2_up81_107.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I think it's time to go...

bg2_up81_108.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You're a persistent little bugger, aren't you?

bg2_up81_109.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Here's your reward.

bg2_up81_110.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And here comes the big brother...

bg2_up81_111.jpg

codex_10.jpg
...with a large arm reach. Ouch.

bg2_up81_112.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What do you know, the sling can be useful after all.

bg2_up81_113.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yet another house to rans- I mean, liberate.

bg2_up81_114.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Those mutilated corpses make me feel right at home.

bg2_up81_115.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yet another useless bardic item?

Actually, it is a quest item (which I forgot to screenshot in detail).

bg2_up81_116.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What is with these 1st floor doors in this place?

bg2_up81_117.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Hi there.

bg2_up81_118.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Hello?

bg2_up81_119.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Not if I am here.

bg2_up81_120.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Stop ignoring me!

bg2_up81_121.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What?

bg2_up81_122.jpg

codex_10.jpg
The fuck?

bg2_up81_123.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I'm glad he did that. Saves me the trouble of killing both of them for ignoring me.

Are you saying you won't be ignored?



bg2_up81_124.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I won't even pretend to be excited, this must be the quest moonblade.

bg2_up81_125.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Magical green shoes?

bg2_up81_126.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Not my colour.

bg2_up81_127.jpg

codex_10.jpg
That's a promising spell symbol if I ever saw one.

bg2_up81_128.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh yeah!

bg2_up81_129.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Can't wait to use it.

We probably never will... Well, ok, maybe we will.

Next time: we shall kill a dragon and grab some nuts and then the real fun will begin.

codex_10.jpg
Do you mean literal nuts or...?


Note: You can still vote, but no promises that your vote will be taken into account, as I might not read it before playing through the trials.

Thanks for all the votes! :salute: Poll results for decision whether Codex will become good or evil are as follows:

8 votes: :martini:

7 votes: :rpgcodex:

6 votes: permanently butthurt and MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

4 votes: :mob: and kingcomrade

3 votes: a bastion of sanity and the best there is

2 votes: :balance:

1 vote: cesspool, The Codex hates everything and ultimately, a force of good

no votes: mostly positive and worse than 4chan


I shall calculate Codex' alignment from this using a very complex algorithm, which will tell us whether our hero leans more toward good or evil. (Or I'll just roll the dice.) The details of the result will be explained after the relevant update.

EDIT: included votes from Andnjord's post below

Last time on Let's Insane Solo Baldur's Gate 2:

bg2_up81_104.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This is what I call deconstruction.

Update #82: Liberation, Part II - Highway To Hell



Oh yeah.

bg2_up82_000.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What was that all about?

bg2_up82_001.jpg

codex_10.jpg
How exactly do you pronounce your name?

bg2_up82_002.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I thought that Ellesime would be his target, but I guess he's an elf, so tree must be the priority.

bg2_up82_003.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What, is helping you a quest? No? Then fuck off!

bg2_up82_004.jpg

codex_10.jpg
So much whining.

bg2_up82_005.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I don't need healing. With the ring of Gaxx I'm basically Wolverine.

bg2_up82_006.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I can... But I don't want to.

bg2_up82_007.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Since you're begging in such a pathetic way...

bg2_up82_008.jpg

codex_10.jpg
...I guess I can spare a moment.

bg2_up82_009.jpg

codex_10.jpg
There, done.

bg2_up82_010.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You do that.

bg2_up82_011.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Not a bad looking place.

bg2_up82_012.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Such subtle hints.

bg2_up82_014.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Let's meet with the dragon first.

bg2_up82_015.jpg

codex_10.jpg
No bullshit approach, I can respect that.

bg2_up82_016.jpg

codex_10.jpg
AIIIIIIEEE! Scary lizard! Take him away! Take him away!

bg2_up82_017.jpg

codex_10.jpg
WHOOOOOOOAAAA!

bg2_up82_018.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Not the bees! Not the bees!

bg2_up82_019.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I give up! I give up!

This is strangely satisfying.

bg2_up82_020.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Aaaah! My face! My beautiful face!

Am I being to cruel?

bg2_up82_021.jpg


All good things come to an end.

Death Count: 349

Loading.

codex_10.jpg
That was fucking awful.

Apparently you need to work on your saving throws.

bg2_up82_022.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I will rip this overgrown wurm apart!

bg2_up82_023.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Victory through preparation.

The original was vastly superior.

bg2_up82_025.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I hate it when my stone skin runs out of layers.

bg2_up82_026.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fuck yeah!

bg2_up82_027.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Why did it carry so many magical projectiles? Or was it just shot at so much, and I pulled them from its flesh?

bg2_up82_028.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And if you drink from it, you will become immortal!

bg2_up82_029.jpg


I always considered getting this armour so late in the game as Bioware trolling people who want to play as fighter/mage characters.

bg2_up82_030.jpg


I like Demin's 'Why are you bothering me, go solve all our problems!' attitude.

bg2_up82_032.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Seriously, she could have come with me to mediate between me and this divine spirit of hers.

bg2_up82_033.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Here we go.

bg2_up82_035.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Whoa! Wasn't me!

bg2_up82_036.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I hate being interrupted.

bg2_up82_037.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I really hate being interrupted.

bg2_up82_038.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Hey, no need for insults!

bg2_up82_039.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Well, you still did more than most deities manage in centuries. Which is kind of sad, considering you just opened a well-locked door.

tl;dr: The palace is now open.

bg2_up82_040.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Could this get any more B-movie than it already is?

bg2_up82_042.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Hint: he shall not.

bg2_up82_043.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Elves finally showing some spine. Although they were showing some before too. After being snapped in half by golems, that is.

bg2_up82_044.jpg

codex_10.jpg
A better RPG would have let me decide which side will get red circles, but it's not like I mind slaughtering cat-people.

bg2_up82_045.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Wait, why is elven battle mage fighting an elven warrior?

bg2_up82_046.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Good luck with those spells.

bg2_up82_047.jpg

codex_10.jpg
One skewered cat, comin' right up!

bg2_up82_048.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Not sure why you were hostile, but whatever.

bg2_up82_049.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Let the hammer fall!

bg2_up82_050.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And everyone's dead. Just how I like it.

bg2_up82_051.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I can actually use some of these... Maybe.

bg2_up82_052.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Hey, where did this come from?

bg2_up82_053.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Open, says me.

bg2_up82_054.jpg

codex_10.jpg
They grow trees inside buildings. Why am I not surprised?

bg2_up82_055.jpg

I'm not the nut-grabbing type. I don't care if they're magical.

It is the only way to proceed.

codex_10.jpg
Then I prefer not to proceed.

If you do not do it, the tree is going to have bigger nuts than you. :smug:

Fine, but I'm not putting these in my mouth.

This looks suspiciously similarly to an illithid lair.

bg2_up82_058.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Interesting...

bg2_up82_059.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Well, yes, that is why I approached!

bg2_up82_060.jpg

Good thing I brought these pieces of stone with me.

The more useless something looks, there more essential it is.

What now?

bg2_up82_062.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Aha!

bg2_up82_063.jpg

True, except I am sure I have the power to win.

Holy shit! Ghost elf lady!

Those truly are some multi-purpose parasites.

bg2_up82_066.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, sure, because it matters in any way how quick I will be.

bg2_up82_067.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Formed from corruption itself, right? I'll call you IGN.

bg2_up82_068.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, my name seems pretty accurate.

bg2_up82_069.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Guardians?

bg2_up82_070.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Not the best protection choice out there, mate.

bg2_up82_071.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I've brought an extinguisher.

bg2_up82_072.jpg

If only this was so easy with the real IGN.

Women.

All attempts to interact with Irenicus fail too, so we move on.

Ah, I see you've learned from your brother's mistakes, Polygon.

Somewhat.

This must be so disappointing for you.

So, now you want him dead? I guess he exhausted your patience with the invasion and all.

More elementals than you can shake a stick at.

That's why I have multiple sticks.

He seems surprised, has he not seen me when I walked around here before?

Maybe he was too entranced in his perpetual tree orgasm.

codex_10.jpg
Is that what...? OOOOOOH! I get it now. I get all of it.

bg2_up82_089.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, you tell him, lady. :roll:

bg2_up82_090.jpg

codex_10.jpg
That's bullshit. This plan was too elaborate and needlessly complicated for simple revenge. And he definitely did not need my soul for it.

bg2_up82_091.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, you should have seen the creepy stalker room in his sewer lair.

bg2_up82_092.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I guess he's just not that kind of guy.

Although it is a pretty good hook for an RPG - being cast out from your celestial birthplace and having to find a way back.

And quite soon too!

Let me prove you wrong.

bg2_up82_096.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Wow, you're taking this pretty seriously.

bg2_up82_097.jpg


Here we go...

bg2_up82_098.jpg


Magic resistance should be able to keep our hero relatively safe here.

bg2_up82_099.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Alright, my turn!

bg2_up82_100.jpg


This is not a turn-based game.

bg2_up82_101.jpg


The question is: did we resist Maze?

bg2_up82_102.jpg


Nope.

Death Count: 350

Load.

codex_10.jpg
I guess taking him on without any buffs was overly optimistic.

bg2_up82_103.jpg


We have some scrolls of True Sight, so we use one to maybe save some time on dispelling illusions with Detect Traps.

bg2_up82_104.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And this should take care of that fucking maze spell.

bg2_up82_105.jpg


We ended up using Detect Traps anyway, because True Sight either ran out or Irenicus dispelled it.

bg2_up82_106.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Don't give me that critical miss crap now!

bg2_up82_107.jpg

MY TURN!

bg2_up82_108.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Are you enjoying this as much as I am!?

bg2_up82_109.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh, yes, it is.

bg2_up82_110.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, what about it?

bg2_up82_111.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh, crap.

bg2_up82_112.jpg


Death Count: 351

























Just kidding.

Next time: Hell.

bg2_up82_116.jpg

Hey, Elhan!

bg2_up82_117.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I've brought someone who wants to meet you.

bg2_up82_118.jpg

He's a big fan.

codex_10.jpg
'Big' fan. Because he's so huge. Get it?

Hey, where'd you go? :smug:

My first playthrough I was so bad. I remember this fight being pretty difficult. I died at least once. But at the end I remember thinking, "huh, that's it? oh. guess not.".

I need to go back and do a solo playthrough with a paladin or something. Spellcasters make it too easy. Last time, I easily got through BG1 - without using the wand of summoning exploit, but then I got bored.

I started my new playthrough after years, with some version of Big World Project called World of Baldur's Gate (BG1+BG2 and addons + IWD + all major quest mods like Darkest of Days) and it's p.slow progress. Played few times a month, done minor thing... why do I keep it still on HDD is beyond me.
Whatever, if I manage to finish it it might be my last time with that game.

must have taken forever to install
No, this is one thing that make WoBG great - instalation is massively simplified and need some time.
Even on my crapy old laptop, with 5400rpm HDD, it take max. 30min.
And I gave up after reading manual of original BWP, which could be massive book tome if it was ever printed.

must have taken forever to install. that's why I've just been playing the EE on my ipad. I got sick of installing 10 different mods with 50 different customizable settings each, only to abandon the game halfway through due to a bug and then uninstall to make room for some other game.

that's the worst. I'm having a similar problem right now... changed a component of a mod, all other mods up the load order got completely screwed. Fuck me if I'm going to spend another 3 hours on clicking the "n" and "i" buttons and watching Sword Coast Stratagems update every bloody mob in the game one at the time.
That's too bad, 'cause some mods are superb and make of Baldur's gate a truly fantastic game.

Yeah. My first time through the game I had no mods, so I don't even really need them for nostalgia playthroughs. Thing is, after playing bg2, it's almost unbearable to go back to the old bg1 ruleset, so I really need the ee at least.

I miss the npc mod for bg1 though. It added some pretty neat conversations with party npcs in bg1 - like being able to yell at jaheira and call her a bitch for not telling you you're a bspawn. I lol'd. Halfway decent npc quests and interactions too.

I'd recommend a playthrough with a solo wizard slayer. Difficult, though the uselessness of the kit is highly embellished. At high levels you get some pretty dope MR and the miscast on hit passive ability works even if you don't do damage with the hit (so works on stoneskin for example). Or you can dual class to thief and remove the main restriction of the class with use any item and then roll with carsomyr.
