Hello,

I've been playing BG2 for 6 years (off and on), and just installed Improved Anvil -- wow! Great mod! The Copper Cornet quest was much harder and it sure is fun finding new treasures; excellent work on the kits (Auramaster and Riskbreaker) as well. biggrin.gif

However, now I have kids, so my gaming time is quite limited. I tend to use Cntl+J to jump around in a map (Entrance of docks to Cromwell, Entrance of WP to Adventure Mart) and I'm wondering what kind of problems that will cause. Your readme talked about the other hotkey shortcuts (which I don't use), but I wondered if you can tell me exactly what kind of issues I'll be looking at.

Cntl+J typically cuts a good couple hours out of every run through the game, so I am loathe to leave it behind.... wink.gif

Thanks for the compliments! I'm very glad that you have liked the mod.

Is Jan the only mage you have in the party? You will have a very hard time winning the enhanced battles without a high level mage in the furture. Jan is multi-class and doesn't proceed fast enough (his XP points are divided between his two classes). I recommend that you add to your party's power.

If you find some of the battles too difficult, you can decrease the game's difficulty level and you will see some difference in the foes' power. At which difficulty level are you playing the game now? (EDIT: By the way, the Greater Yaun-Ti doesn't have HLAs at any difficulty level.)

I think that it's much more exciting if you don't know the total number of those new scrolls in the game. wink.gif

I suggest that you slow down your speed of playing the game to have the mod's new version before doing many quests. It will be released within the next two or three days. You won't need to start a new game, but if you have finished a quest, it is finished and you won't see the new things added to it.

Cheating is not confined to using external software or the console commands. Abusing the flaws and limitations of the game engine to do something that a human Dungeon Master would not accept or allow is cheating.
