A rushed dad and Ctrl+J, wondering about issues Options

[smr49]

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.

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....

Yes, playing a good or a neutral party is more recommended (than playing an evil party) to see every new features of the game. There is also a new plot added to the game by the forthcoming IA v3.0 which can only be seen by a party who have "Judgement Day +6" sword. The sword (after being forged) can only be wielded by a non-evil warrior. Hence, even if you play an evil party, it is recommended that you have a non-evil warrior in your party.

You can forgo playing a Riskbreaker PC if you want, but I very strongly recommend that you do have an Auramaster druid in your party. Cernd is always a good choice.

Finally, if you want to play a Riskbreaker PC, make sure that you have the latest version of the kit (which is version 6). Installing Riskbreaker v.6 requires starting a new game, though.
