Back, after 14 years Options

[Shadan]

Hi there!

I haven't been here in last 14 years... I've just completed BG3 on tactical with vengeance paladin, and old NPCs in BG3 (like Jaheira, Minsc and Viconia (sadly I had to kill Viconia ) brought back my memories about BG2 and great IA times, so thanks to a sudden urge, I searched on internet and was suprised to see IA is still living and V7 came out, and compatible with EE.
I am thinking on relearning game again, and playing 1-2 IA runs... I have lot of time nowadays...
I've tried to remember what kind of parties did I have in old times.
I remember my start with IA V3.2, gnome F/I protagonist, blade bard (or Hear'Dalis) with his incredible spin, inquisitor with insane dispel (all 3 were nerfed later), usual B->Cleric etc.
I don't really remember to my other runs, just as a V6 playtester I played with necro protagonist and Cernd was my main healer instead of usual R or B -> Cleric.
My last V6 run was melee heavy party: vagrant protagonist, riskbreaker, berserker, swashie, usual R->Cleric, Necro.
As far as I remember, sorcerer, or double sorcerer were also great in the team.

Now, I see in V7 some other NPCs and suclasses are buffed, rebalanced. I am a little clueless about protagonist and party composition. As far as I see new rog NPC is good, also Mazzy is buffed to hell. So any recommendation is welcome on this topic (and on weapon proficiencies).

I am still playing my 2nd BG3 run (honor mode, but more than 1 save ) with a bard. When I finished this, maybe I start an IA run. Nowadays I have less patience, and I am getting bored in things easily, so I am not sure if I will have a strength and patience for IA, but I will see it.

Cheers,
Shadan

You can make a copy of ImprovedAnvil.exe and rename it to EoU's exe(setup-Ease.exe right?). This will allow you to install it correctly. The .exe file is not mod-specific, but it needs proper name to install each mod.
