I typically buff to the utmost for the many hard battles. It seems like it takes forever to do this and is no fun - quite tedious, in fact. Is there some way I can just press a function key and have selected spells cast in a selected order. I heard that the Soulafin mod had something like this but am unfamiliar with the details.
That would be pretty funny. Walk into a room with a lich that can't be turned by a level 21 cleric. The lich pops off 7 spells or so in an instant becoming "invulnerable" and then so does 4 of my 6 characters. Can someone point me to a mod, tutorial, or provide some help on creating a buffing script? |

Well, it finally worked for me. Sometimes I have to press the key a few times before it works, but eventually it does its thing. I have to change the scripts around to the autobuff prior to buffing and then to my standard script afterwards, leaving AI on. (If I don't do this, I often end up letting my characters just stand around because I play when I should sleep. Of course, there are occasions when I do turn the AI off.)
The buff routine uses up some of my spells that I would choose that it did not and doesn't use some of the buffs that I want it to, but overall it does make the buffing for the constant hack-n-slash less tedious. This mod gets the thumbs up from me. As an aside: Twisted Rune is a good reason to play a fighter-mage as the hero. It's nice to be as invulnerable as the enemy when the Big Nasty "magically" knows who the leader is, seeks him out, and unleashes hell. Personally, I don't think that omniscience was appropriate. |

Knowing the identity of the hero of Baldur's Gate and the kidnapped Bhaalspawn, doesn't require "omniscience"! Twisted Rune is a very powerful organization with many ears and eyes everywhere. Besides, even in the original game, much less informed people know your protagonist's identity very well. -------------------- Improved Anvil
 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. |

Also, if you don't want to be on the receiving end of layene's timestop ramage, just keep CHARNAME out of her line of sight. This post has been edited by leonidas: May 13 2007, 12:40 PM |
