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.

I don't think this is related to the potion, but I've seen similar results on my own tests. A cleric from random encounter (Suna Seni) has cast breach on Anomen who had nothing by DUHM active.

Did your B->C have Death Ward or Blade Barrier active? These are viable reasons for Pirate Coord. to cast Breach on him.
EDIT: the Kensai issue is due to the Brooch. I think the item will be tweaked to do something else. Reworking all the scripts is too problematic at the moment.

I'm not sure I understand correctly what exactly had happened. Your char was protected with MI and SI:Div, and Remove Magic didn't dispel any of those? If so then it's perfectly normal. There's always a chance that Remove Magic doesn't "take", so to speak (5%, I think).

How is the charisma influence on shop prices supposed to work? Lets say that i want to buy Nymph cloak with PC (char 18, rep 16) for 39960 gold. When i use a friend spell char is boosted to 24 and there should be discount of 10%, but for me its still 39960. What am i doing wrong? Sry, didn't play for a long time

Jun 12 2015, 07:14 AM
To be honest, I haven't got the slightest idea. I've never really bothered with high charisma in my games. Plus, in IA shops are streamlined to give the same prices more or less everywhere. Perhaps, this has its influence as well. I'll investigate this when I have the chance and see if I can give you a better answer.

Used the search function and found a post by Raven:
QUOTE
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.

I need someone to pick locks, find traps, and I need another mage. Nalia lacks that somewhat. I do not actually know what the hla changes are for a t/m multi.... I did not spot anything in the documentation. (Info on hla changes is a bit lacking. ..).
Anomen is a cleric that I need (want) for greater restoration. I could have chosen an r/c but I have done that so many times before. I also ran without greater restoration and had cernd instead but I am a bit tired of him too. Maybe the next run in v6.2/7.

Conster by himself is not a challenge but the Skeleton Lords are
SPOILER!Power Word, Silence has a casting time of 1, so it hits him directly before his defense is up. He doesnt do much when silenced. The second wave of Skeleton Lords comes fast, even when Conster is already dead...
//edit
These Skeleton Lords are really tough. They even hit -16AC when rolling a 4 and have 6 or more APR, so MI and Stoneskin is down very fast. Unfortunately i cannot kill them fast enough. Are there more than 4 waves? I think i need to postpone that fight

for skeletons: (Could give better advice if I knew your party)
oils of resurgence (as critto also aid), take 2
summons (Bears if you can)
potions of defense or invulnerability (if you have RB or Kensaï)
Blunt weapons +2 or more of course
Try to focus on one skeleton at a time, this way it goes down fast, thern the other (kept occupied by summons)
Ideal tempo is to eliminate a wave before next one.
You can also fight them in the narrow corridor (between Dragon lair entry and room where Conster spawns) if you are overwhelmed (in close quarte it is a very bad thing)

A side note for the Skeleton Lords - they are vulnerable to Fire, so if you present to them only a mage with multiple ProMW and a Fireshield:Red, the Skeleton Lords will die in a turn or so from the Fireshield's damage. However, since you're having so big of a problem vs puny Lords, I can't imagine what it would be for you when you have to face multiple Warlords or Grandlords in the future.

You will actually get the druidic spell slots according to your clerical levels, simply because priest/druid spell levels occupy one and the same spellbook. That's the reason why R/C also get spells like Ironskins and Creeping Doom, which normal rangers don't have access to at all. However, I am unsure at what level the spells will actually be cast. Rangers (and Paladins) cast their priest spells at 8 levels below a cleric/druid of the same level. Meaning a 12-th level ranger will cast Call Lightning with the same power as a 4th level druid.
A B-M dual obeys the same rules as a single-class fighter, concerning APR and weapon proficiencies. So yes, you can put 5-stars in any weapon after you regain your Berserker levels. Also, you may actually not level up after mage level 5 (40 000 xp), wait until you accumulate xp for mage level 10 (250 000 xp), that way you won't lose the proficiency point which the mage gets at level 6, and you will be able to distribute it to something far more important than a quarterstaff or dagger.

If your R/C multi lacks certain druidic spells, then it's probably a fix of the EE engine, which prevents Ranger-Clerics of obtaining the more powerful druidic spells, in which case the R/C multi (or dual) absolutely loses value.

Don't be sorry at all:
R/C multi (or dual), if you run on EE, you have to have the '1' and not '0' in this line in baldur.ini file:
CODE
'Game Options', 'Cleric Ranger Spells', '1',
R/C multi gets (in vanilla or in BGEE with previous line) spells at once (no need to wait levels)
for B9/M, I am not 100% sure, but I think you can put more than one star, problem is you will gain stars as a mage (so IIRC 1 or 2 after level 10)
If you want to have stars, you have to dual later
Krell
Jun 26 2015, 10:50 PM
A B(9)-M can reach mage level 36, thus can get a total of six proficiency points from his mage class, which is not too little, together with the Berserker's proficiencies those are enough to gain grandmastery in a crushing and a piercing weapon, and even have a couple of stars for the needed weapon style. Slashing weapons are covered completely by the phantom blade/black blade of disaster.

A feature request:Would it be possible to make the graphical attacks corresponding to statistical attacks? So that 1 APR is also visually 1 APR and 7 APR are 7....
I somehow agree with the original design descision of BG to fix the visual APR to a certain value to make the game look more dynamic. But for a game with IA installed in which combat/tactical challenge plays a big role, it would be nice to have the visual feedback.
I dont know about engine limitations, but when its not possible or too much effort just forget about it.

So... it took me a while to get through the game (V6.1)
- Swashbuckler is not bad but I don't understand why his armour disables stealth permanently. Stealth is not going to give him any bonuses other than hiding itself.
- Dwarven defender is very strong in ia except for immunities, still requires good buffing and gear.
- jan is still good utility despite being a suboptimal thief/mage.
- I tried Wilson but he needs more skills and some wearable gear would be appreciated.
- Hexxat has no personal item that I could discover... personalizing her amulet would be nice. As pure thief she lacks use anyhow.
- Rasaad just won't die in ia. Soo much magic resistance and quite decent physical resistance at the end stage with his gear. And he hits soo hard. Problem with gauntlets is that I do not know which one to default him with...
- Finally necromancer done. I can see why he needs the gear in his personal quests, but really.... outside those quests he has more health than anomen... Go figure.
- Neera skipped so no notes on her changes.
- Dorn lacks an upgrade for his sword. He could benefit from a combo with that evil paladin sword.... The name escapes me at the moment.
First v6 game done too I think. I got far into a previous one but cannot remember whether I finished that.
It is really telling that some classes are now just inheritantly not good anymore in ia. I would think that some balancing would help out to make the classes/kits more useful. Maybe in a later version
Btw, on bgee steam version and I did not run into any ia specific bugs that I could tell, only bgee bugs that are not fully fixed
