I just started Baldur's Gate 2...

[Forest Dweller]

Yeah. He's butthurt.

By which one of your amazing dumbfuck arguments?

I couldn't pass up the opportunity provided by Volourn.

btw where are you now?

I haven't gone any further yet. I want to see how this thread develops.

[Strength]Dick, provide some screens, exmpls of bad lines so the hivemind can consider your opinion.

First shouldn't that be Diplomancy? Second, it appears I will need to upload the images to a webpage before I can post them. How do I do that? I've never done anything like that before.

I do believe this is the joke.

Of all of those games, less than 5 of them have combat that isn't a steaming pile of shit (Deus Ex, Bloodlines, The Witcher, maybe Gothic). BG2 has superior gameplay (at least in the department of combat and encounter design) than a large fraction of those games, so judging it on C&C alone isn't exactly fair.

No. I haven't played Deus Ex and Gothic, so I can't comment on them (Deus Ex is a shooter anyway) but combat in Bloodlines and The Twitcher is an abominable real-time clickety-click mess. I'm surprised to find out that there are Bloodlines sewer lovers out there. Combat in Fallout and Fallout 2, though not the best example of combat in RPG, is still good quality, unlike in the games mentioned above, as in Fallout a certain amount of planning and tactics have to be used to overcome the opposition.

Alright let's try this.

 

[Forest Dweller]

Well that didn't work.

 

[Balthamael]

Right-click the images and see properties. You can copy-paste the correct url from there.

Or quote my post and you'll see the format.

Thanks. I just copied your format. Still can't see how to get to the webpage though...

Oh well. Now you all SHOULD be able to see where I'm coming from. Going back through it, if Minsc wasn't there the writing would simply be...mediocre. Maybe I'll continue and get that fucker killed. Can companions die permanently in this game?

 

[Alfgart]

If I remember correctly, yes.

 

[GarfunkeL]

They have to explode by magic or melee critical hit. It the corpse explodes, there's no resurrection.

 

[Lonely Vazdru]

Dismissing them from the party while dead, will also do the job.

 

[Edward_R_Murrow]

Dismissing him from the party then killing him works too.

 

[Elric]

Are death by stat drain/level drain permanent? I can't remember...

 

[janjetina]

As far as I remember, no.

 

[Volourn]

I believe they are but there are spells to remove them which you have access to.

 

[Balthamael]

Depends on difficulty level. I think on normal and above stat drain to zero equals permadeath.

 

[spacemoose]

I always kicked jaheira as soon as I could

because I don't tolerate passive aggressive backseat driving bullshit

After playing the game at 1680x1050 there is just no fucking way I can go back to the standard resolutions.

Every time I heard Irenicus speak, I pictured the voice actor sitting in the studio wearing his lab coat from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2.

That Minsc opening dialogue is one of the better ones ever.
