IA v6.2 discussion, random questions and thoughts Options

[critto]

So, the v6.1 is out. Most notable change is a step towards new platform, internal re-design and full (I hope) support for BG2EE. That means that IA should now install and play with any distribution of BG2:EE on any platform. I personally developed and tested it on Mac OS X, with the Beamdog's official distribution. Nicoper, whom I want to thank for helping me with testing and pushing this version out, did tests on Windows, although I have no idea which version exactly did he use.

Anyhow, with BG2:EE come two new good-aligned NPCs who are tweaked to be serious choices for a party member. To facilitate that we did a nice overhaul of the Monk class. It's kind of a beta so keep in mind that your experiences may vary. But should be fun nonetheless.

There is no new tactical content added to the BG2EE content, but the potential is there and, hopefully, we can explore it in the future builds.

There's also some miscellaneous stuff done here and there but the major things are listed above.

I took a liberty of assuming a different approach towards development, with shorter but faster releases. Hopefully, this will bring us towards IAv7 quicker. Afterwards, we'll see.

Enjoy and let me know what you think.

EDIT: this was converted into primary discussion thread for 6.2

This is my first experience with BG2:EE and I'm really liking all the new content. However, I have some goofy things going on so far...

Remove Magic won't dispel Mirror Image on enemy mages that aren't protected from Divination.
The Pirate Coordinator cast Breach 4 times on my Berserker>Cleric in an effort to dispel PfFire that I had from a potion. It was only dispelled once he cast remove magic.
Then the Pirate Coordinator cast RRoR on my Kensai twice. I wonder if that had something to do with him wearing the Brooch of Vagrant Blades and somehow the mage sees it as a spell turning type of spell.

Remove Magic won't dispel Mirror Image on enemy mages that aren't protected from Divination.

...but Remove Magic can and will be completely stopped by Spell Immunity Abjuration with the "spell ineffective" message. There is a number of mages who run both Spell Immunity Abjuration and Mirror Image. Perhaps this is your case.
