Expansion comes out in a few minutes, will Shaman be as shit as they sound?

longer than ToB

Why?

Let's just hope they don't disappoint us with some lol so random storytelling and forced jokes

because what else? it is d&d 2e afterall
>>
>>332658791
I'd be fine with that if they were able to do something while summoning but you can't even control the spirits
Also no stronghold
>>
Will this be a Beamdog exclusive thing or can i get it elsewhere?

>>332660345

yes, you can also get it from the pirates bay

Is the jump from 18 to 19 strength huge in BG?
>>
>>332660429
So it won't be on gog.com or steam then?
>>
>>332660475
Massive boost in thaco by -2 in most cases unless you have 18/80 str

It's why half-orcs are the best in low level campaigns

>>332660475
From 18 to 19
Yes
From 18/00 to 19
not so much

Never played an archer; fighter/thief multi or dual?
>>
I want to play it now dammit asdfg.
>>
>>332660861
18/51 is a good roll, anything higher is extra, anything lower is meh.

One of the most underrated spells is strength as one for clerics or the single target spell strength for mages, which lasts for 8 hours.
>>
>>332660676
It will be on Steam, we don't know about GOG but most likely will seeing as EE is on GOG
>>
Comes out 12 AM PST so 1h and 40min more.

>>332660861
You gain 2 thac0 and 4 dmg

Elf Archer with 19 dex is a god of death from bg1 start until later BG2 when you face mages with full protection/dragons/lichs.

Jaheira's actress hasn't been seen since 2002.
She has no home adress and quite literally vanished.
Nobody knows where she is and if she's even still alive.
They looked high and low for her and she is just gone.
That's why Jaheira is the only of the companions that has a replacement VA in this.

>>332658791

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
https://www.twitch tv/beamdog
>>
>>332666849
Console on
CTRL+Q to have them join your party
Protip: it's complete, utter shit
First level snake and wolf= 1APR/19 THAC0 top lel 16 HP with 50 phys resist and mind shield
7th level: bear has 15 THAC0 and 3 APR but only 32 HP and the same resists as the wolf and snake. They all immediately go poof if you stop dancing AND you can't even send them outside of your shaman visual range so enjoy being rooted to the ground at the middle of the battlefield
You are much better off using a Totemic Druid, especially since they get poison, fear, LEVEL DRAIN, hold on hit depending on the summon, not to mention a buttload of immunities including normal weapons at level 10.
Also can be sent outside your visual range to help the tank while you stay safe. Druids also reach level 5 spells at BG1 and benefit from the wis bonus so you can end up with a ton of spells due to 21 WIS
full stats here: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/31754/totemic-druid-summon-stats

So everyone who owns the EE gets it for free? I cant find it for sale on steam.

Are you by any chance retarded anon?
Anyhow comes out in 25 minutes.

>>332668249
Christ, what a mess. I'm guessing they don't suddenly become good in bg2/ToB
>>
>>332668506
Shaman's strength is not going to be the summons.
He's the Sorcerer equivalent for Druids.
>>
>>332668413
Where the fuck is it on steam? I cant find it.
>>
>>332668639
WHICH PART OF COMING OUT IN 20 MINUTES DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND
It has no pre-order page anon. The page will be up when the expansion is out.
>>
Do I have to have a character near the end of BG1 to start the expansion?

Let's be honest, BG1 is dreck.
>>
>>332668815
You can start it directly just like ToB but you will miss out on carrying over your items and such obviously.
>>
>>332668780
Usually steam notifies people of upcoming releases even dlc/expanions.
>>
>>332668506
For a quick Totemic Druid Spirit Wolf at level 10 is
>56 health, 9 Thac0 (plus strength bonus), 16 strength, 20 dexterity, base of 0 AC (plus the dexterity bonus), 3 APR, hits as a +6 weapon, does 1d4 piercing damage, 1d6 cold damage, and has both an on-hit effect (save vs death at +1) of HOLDING the target for 7 seconds and an on hit effect of causing LEVEL DRAIN (save vs death at +5). Its immune to slow, hold, grease, web, entangle, petrification, fatigue, stun, feeblemind, slay, sleep, confusion, charm, panic, break morale, level drain, poison and polymorph. Also it has 100% cold resistance and 100% elecricity resistance. Its also immune to normal weapons
It's like they didn't even bother with the Spirit Shaman.
Perhaps they get actual decent summons at higher levels(only reached the cap in BG1). But do remember that you still have a chance of summoning the lower tier creatures when dancing no matter your level. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING

>>332668606
Which is not necessary at all considering druids can get a FUCKTON bonus spells per level due to 21 WIS at BG1 to the point spontaneous casting becomes moot and you end up with way more spells than a sorcerer.
>>
>>332668919
That only applies if they have a steam page anon, stop being retarded.

Also they just confirmed it's coming out on their website, Steam and GOG simultaneously.

May cast Exaltation once per day . Gains one use at level 1 and an additional use every 5 levels thereafter.
EXALTATION: This spell enables a priest to aid and protect any one being other than themselves. By touch, the caster removes the effects of fear, sleep, feeblemindedness, unconsciousness, and intoxication, as well as berserk and confused states of mind. In addition, the recipient is protected against spells and other attacks that cause these effects for 1 turn.
May cast Divine Favor once per day. Gains one use at level 1 and an additional use every 10 levels thereafter.
DIVINE FAVOR: This spell grants the caster a +1 bonus to hit and damage rolls every 3 levels of the caster. The spell lasts for 2 rounds.

Why does the story have to be set between BG1 and BG2?

Personally though I would've preferred BG3. And it didn't have to be set after BG2 or anything, I just wanted some newer D&D features added in.
>>
>>332675701
you are trash
>>
>>332675714
Because they just didn't have the budget to do a BG3 proper probably.
>>
>>332675237
>>332675261

So... are enemies gonna be like 5 exp each or will you hit the cap 3 hours in and sit at it for the rest of the time? Part of the enjoyment I take from BG and games like it is building up my character and watching them get more powerful. Sounds like this lacks that, completely.
>>
>>332675714
I think they're planning on doing Baldur's Gate 3 eventually.
>>
>>332675491
The question is, why did they feel making an expansion set between BG1 and BG2 would be a good idea. It's like making one between BG2 and ToB. Sure the story allows it, but why would you?
>>
>>332675802
They brought in David Gaider and posted him as head of creative, they are going for BG3.

practically the same shit you just have to spend more effort installing mods for the originals
>>
>Remember: This takes place between Baldur’s Gate and its sequel. That means at least one companion—Imoen—is too busy dual-classing into a mage to come along for the journey. Some companions (Neera in particular) aren’t available until midway through the expansion. Also when she shows up she’s managed to forget every spell you ever taught her and lose all her equipment.
>Other companions are simply missing. Both Branwen (my go-to cleric) and Kivan (unstoppable archer madman) absconded so fast that it’s apparently impossible for them to help you save the Sword Coast a second time.
>Oh, and Dynaheir has somehow resurrected herself and will once again join your party alongside Minsc. Once again, I sent her on a lonesome journey into a pack of wolves. Dire wolves, this time. Though that did make a minor Dynaheir-specific sidequest unfinishable later in the game.

>>332677547
if you want to play this new expansion, you have to go ee. otherwise, if you're halfway competent at installing mods, I'd say the originals are the better deal.

Buy/pirate the enhanced editions, it's a great game.

>>332676390
But it really isn't. Low level AD&D is watching a party miss swings/shots, cast 1 spell and kite a black bear around trees. Not to say that it gets much better later but it's miles from a PnP session. You can't tell the game that you want to cripple that enemy, no, all you get is a basic fucking melee attack. You can't say that you want to offer the pack of bandits a chance to surrender, no, you have to fight. The system was never meant to be played against an AI which is why it sucks.

I think people are retarded for giving money for such a project in the first place. But yes, they own the IP, so that's all there is to it. And at least Bethesda had the good sense to release Arena and Daggerfall for free.

It's on Steam guys

>There are at least two major battles in the expansion, each encompassing groups of maybe thirty NPCs per side. It’s hectic, to the point where there’s a new graphics toggle to highlight your own characters and make them stand out from the fray a bit better.

holy shit anon, are you legitimately retarded? enemies in PoE give like no xp because you aren't supposed to grind them, you'll hit level cap or around it just by doing sidequests and the MQ

from what I know SCL is barely even DnD

Not really since you're rooted to the ground, the lower summons have the shittiest stats possible, can't even send them away from your LOS with another party member.
I mean, those higher tier elementals actually have neat stats but the cons are too many
Meanwhile Totemic Druid has OP as fuck summons that can take you from BG1 to ToB to the point they can literally tank the entire BG2 vampire lair and hit as +6 fucking weapons as soon as level 10, not to mention having poison, hold, LEVEL DRAIN, literally immune to 95% of status ailments
