Improved Anvil stream Options

[kristos234]

Hello!

I decided to show of the mod by streaming it on twitch. It'l be my second playthrough, even though i haven't finished the previous one (twisted rune and Irenicus fights were left only). If anyone wants to check it out and maybe give some advice to a fairly new imp anvil player feel free to hop in.

First stream will be tomorrow around 6-7pm Central European Time.

Hi! Thanks for sharing, and good luck! I hope I"ll be able to join from time to time. It's a shame that you don't have a video from character creation and Irenicus's dungeon.

Thanks for hanging out and providing the temple reputation costs! I did not enable VOD's on my first stream so sadly stat re-roll screen and Irenicus chateau will be forever lost

A few comments regarding your yesterday's stream:
1. From my observations it looks like your characters have to be overkilled by 20 HP to get chunked, and in your fight against Tor'Gal Valygard had had 1HP and was hit for 20, 21 would have chunked him so you were very lucky!
2. Tor'Gal cast Rigid Thinking on you, which causes confusion and is a completely separate effect from feeblemindness. Heal cures feeblemindness/deafness/blindness/poison/disease/intoxication, but not confusion/stun/paralyze and if I remember correctly, it never did in vanilla too. Though I agree that the description is a bit misleading with its "cures those mental disorders caused by spells or injury to the brain.".
3. I didn't watch the whole thing, but I think you left 3 unique amazing potions on the ground at Slavers' Ship

That's cool, perhaps post on some other forums as well if you want more followers/engagement. I just uploaded a few videos on Odysee. I checked out a recorded video and the dialog box is too small, also consider closing the "items on the ground" box during battles.

1. Ok so that is indeed EXTREMELY lucky lol
2. I read the spell description after the fight and I could've cast remove magic on Yoshi - would've propably worked
3. What potions?

I may post my stream on Beamdog forums, may be a good idea. If the "items on the ground" box is a bit annoying to watch then sure I'll close it. I just keep it up out of habit

3. What potions?

Potions of Icedust. However I see now that at least in BGEE v2.6 the projectile is bugged and the effect works only on enemies

I checked out a recorded video and the dialog box is too small

Yeah, it would be cool to see what's going on in the combat log, I usually have it set to around 12 lines, but it takes a lot of space and kristos234 has BG Radar Overlay that provides in-game info in a different way.

Are these potions even good in IA? I never used them while playing SCS so I just did not pick them out of habit.
Hopefully my combat log was more visible today

Well... in v2.5 they could save your characters from an incoming Dragon Breath, which would be helpful in your fight against Shade Lord from yesterday. Sadly in v2.6 their projectile really is bugged and you can use this beneficial potion on enemies only xD We'll have to fix it, as I doubt Beamdog will publish v2.7...

Definitely!

And regarding your fight against the Shadow Dragon:
Almost all spells are cast at caster level, so if your character got confused by Thax, who is of level 23, Cernd with level 13 has 0 chance of removing that with Dispel Magic. The game knows who cast which spell at which level and to my knowledge it rolls a check for each source separately, or at least there are moments where only some of your protections are removed.
