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

Used the search function and found a post by Raven:

The charisma discount maxes out at 20 (so cha 21-25 does nothing extra), and it's something like a 20-25% discount. It also works along with the rep discount, I think the maximum discount with rep 20 and cha 20 is around 45%. Easiest way to get cha 20 is have a mage with base cha of 14+ cast the Friends spell, but even if you can't get up to 20 it's worth having the highest cha character up in the top portrait spot for shopping.

Apparently, it doesn't matter who is talking to the shopkeeper but the charisma value of the "leader" does matter. Leader means the one with the portrait at the top. Will check later...

Yes, its working.
