Random Questions, post them here! Options

[Dzza]

i have 2 questions, first i imported a 6 man party from BG1. All the chars have around 300k exp so they are about 2 levels higher then a new character would be, they also have some higher stats from the book increases in BG1 for example my cleric has 21 wisdom from the 3 books of +wisdom. i was wonder if this will make the game to easy, i played through the first dungeon and the circus and even in insane difficulty it was kind of easy.

my second question is if the ease of use component "ware magic armor and rings" is recommend or not recommended, i played through the game before with no armor restrictions and havening a fighter with -20AC makes the game to easy, but dose the AI difficulty balance this out?

Hi!

The circus and Irenicus' dungeon hasn't been changed by Sikret, so that's why they'll appear so easy.

At first Sikret recommended the EoU component which let you wear more RoP and the sort, but you'll have to look in the readme or wait for Sikret to emerge to get the correct answer to that. I don't use it.

[Vardaman]

Some enemies are going to hit your fighters even with -26 AC so I don't think wearing magic rings and armor is too broken but it's up to you.

I am looking for some tips regarding either the Illusionist battle or - more importantly - the Queen Spider battle. Both are rather more difficult than I had expected; I don't have a problem with delaying the epic battles with Orcus and the Dracolich as long as possible, but it really annoys me that some puny insect is keeping me from doing even the first level of Watcher's Keep.

Don't blame yourself for finding the Spider Queen a tad more difficult than what you had expected. She is not a "puny insect". She is a lesser goddess and is surely tougher than Dracolich. The battle with Spider Queen is optional though. You don't need to do that battle to complete the first level of WK.

As for the Illusionist, send either me or Raven a PM and explain your problem. We may be able to provide some tactical hints.

Malakar +2 is randomed or still in asylum?

[Nexiam]

???

[rbeverjr]

Apparently Malakar is randomized. At least it is no longer where it was in the vanilla game.

[Nexiam]

ok thx man

[Nexiam]

what about usuno blade? didnt find in wk 1st lvl tt

[Sikret]

Play and find it out for yourself during the game, Nexiam.

When an item is not where it was in the vanilla game, its location is either randomized or simply changed to a different fixed place.

[Nexiam]

just was thinking i was not high lvl enough, and statue with usuno blade dont spawn

[Shaitan]

When an item is not where it was in the vanilla game, its location is either randomized or simply changed to a different fixed place.

Does it mean that I could be lucky getting another item from that place, or is it put into a pool of better places to be acquired from? Ie the boots of avoiding?

I am stucked in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly:

SPOILER!

After I got the geas, I went immidiately to save who have to be saved. I am at cave entrance. I cannot go in, and nobody is there... I rested for 3 days, nothing happened. Even I didn't die after 3 days, despite I am informed that gease will kill me if I am not succesful. Any help appreciated.

SPOILER!

It's not in/near the cave, it's the area just West of the cave entrance. (and west of the steps up to the top of the hill in a sort of indentation)

It took me a minute to figure that out too. Perhaps the dialog could be changed or have the person walk to the cave entrance.

Thank's Vardaman. I run around with my hasted bard to check whole area, before I asked help, but it seems somehow I missed that corner.

[Zarathustra]

I know this has been asked before, but the answer was via PM, so here we go again:

SPOILER!

In the Good, Bad, Ugly quest: What do I do / where do I go after talking to Auriel outside the Five Flagons? I can only run around the sewers so many times before becoming bored. Been to Umar Hills as well. Twice.

Any answer (PM or otherwise) would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
