Does /v/ like Baldur's Gate?
>>333207587
Isometric garbo.
>>333207587
It's a great low-level D&D adventure.
>>333207587
It was okay. The sequel is much better.
Mods are literal fags. Also they seem to love tranny cock in their ass.
is baldur's gate now autosage?
>>333208960
/v/ has become neoFAG

>>333207587
2 is much better but I still liked it.
/v/ does like this game to answer your question literally. X--D
>>333207587
Yes. Fuck you faggots who think everything Bioware has done is retroactively shit because their new games suck.
The combat makes no sense.
>>333207797
>>333209597
These. BG's scope was more focused while still providing loads of details.plus Viconia was my first vidya crush
How many of you faggots have long hair?
Is BG2 worth playing on the gcn or is the fps a deal breaker?
>>333209806
Viconia looks like a fucking downie in BG1
>>333209752
But it does make sense.
>>333207587
I love it and think the new expansion is fine. /v/ just has major bias because they're sad sacks who can't adjust to people being different.
>>333207587
Just bought it yesterday for $5. I'M REALLY ENJOYING IT. Already spent hours forming my party, getting through tutorial. Combat, dialogue, quests are great.
I liked fantasy shit admittedly only Elder Scrolls though (started with Oblivion), and I kinda got tired of the genre after Game of Thrones/Lord of the Rings, Skyrim normie/insta-LMAO I'm a G-E-E-K normie shit.
This renewed my interest in the fantasy genre and I think I"m goign to old more old skool shit after I finish this game. Really gotta thank GG though, I never would've checked out this game if they didn't give it exposure.
>>333210008
You're in for a treat once you get to BG2 then. Also you should get Unfinished Business for BG1
>>333210008
Glad you're enjoying it anon, I only played it for the first time last year and enjoyed it a lot as well. What kind of character did you make?
>>333207784
This. Veering into /tg/ shit, but BG is pretty much what I want most tabletop games to be on a mechanical level. You're not a walking god of doom (well okay you kind of are but not on a stats level) who throws nukes at the world. The magic items are nice, with quirky backstories even for the most generic shit, and a lot of them have very minor bonus powers that keep you from being showered in forgettable +2 Swords of hitting shit better.
>>333209464
>/v/ is bad now that I can't use it as a safe space for fedoras
I could never really get into crpgs, I'll probably give it another shot at some point since I've mostly given up on new games and have just gone back
>>333210270
It also had a great sense of progression. You start off terribly weak, but by the time you're doing the expansion content you're rather powerful but can still be bested by the bosses and big mobs.
>>333210158
Two-handed Berserker. I have no experience with D&D and I wanted to try it without looking at guides so I just went off what in-game descriptions said about the choices I made.
>>333210008
I saw it was compatible with EE but does it work on Steam too?
Is the Enhanced Edition the way to go, or is it still buggy as shit? I'd prefer not to fuck with modding the original but I will if EE's still a mess (tho EE being a little cheaper at the moment makes it more tempting).
>>333210270
I love how even something simple like the army scythe which is just a light crossbow with faster fire rate has a cool history attached to it. Those first few levels in BG1 were suffering my first time through but it made my late game character all the more delicious to use with fireball faggotry and other spells.

Depends how you do it, but once someone is dead enough, at least with the PS cosmology (which FR generally abided by), your soul basically subsists as a supplicant in the realm closest to you in some way (a NG elf might end up in the Beastlands or the Seldarine's court), but you would also only have vague recollections of your mortal life.

I kitted Jaheira up with spear proficiency in BG1. Was severely disappointed when I got to BG2 and saw she had points in clubs and scimitars. At least you get some good scimitars.

I had Khalid permadie because he's useless and so my headcanon could make romancing Jaheira easier, and I didn't need Dynaheir since I'm a Cleric/Ranger.
>>333215095
Wait, I forgot Dynaheir isn't a Cleric that was Branwen. I think I just stuck with Neera because Wild Mages are fun.

Baldur's Gate? More like Bald Xir's Gay. Haha
>>333215675
Nice
Replaying the original now and it's come to bother me how many cool little NPCs the PC allies themselves with never become recruitable. In the first game at least, most get more development than the actual party members, like Tenya, Cleric of Umberlee. I want to serve the Bitch Queen of the sea.
>>333215295
I didn't have the guts to let them die off. Also I accidentally let Edwin die fighting bears.
>>333215467

I have actually have never played the game. I've owned it for about a year on GOG, think I'm gonna finally download it and try it out. All this ruckus got me interested.

I straight up murdered Dynaheir so I can have Minsc and Edwin(a) in my party.

Do you have the EE or the regular version? If regular, go EasyTutu with Unfinished Business.

It's the regular version. I got it in some D&D pack with a bunch of other games that I still haven't played either.

2 was better
>>333211376
to be honest, both combat systems aren't anything special. Tes is just hit and run with power attacks and potion chugging, while gothic is spellspam/aod/repeating one combo string over and over plus clunky focus system.

We can only hope the old UI is able to be modded back in.

You fuck off first if you believe something as idiotic as that. Amber Scott is a stupid bitch but if you think a series is ruined because a different company releases an expansion 18 years later, you need to kill yourself.
>>333222941
Please tell me how to use Jan competently
Does his personality actually change after his quest, or is he still a whiny twat?
Stereotypes are fine, but why pick a boring one when there are more interesting personalities to choose from?
>>333222669
I personally don't get Anomen hate.
He's the epitome of lawful neutral when you get him, he despises filthy peasants. His transition to LG is great. My only gripe is no new set of movement voice prompts after the transition, so they're still pretty prickish.
Keldorn is great, hang his wife desu.

>Is the evil path interesting at all?
Eh the only difference is you work for the vampires instead of the shadow thieves. That's it.
Everything else is exactly the same.
>>333223715
He becomes more humble and apologizes to Keldorn for being a douche. You can also go the other way and make him edgy.
>>333223715
Yes.
It's particularly good banter if keldorn is in the party, he apologizes for having his head up his ass.
LG anomen is a fucking monster, and trails only "I'm a Literal Fucking God" Rasaad in kills.
>>333223785
That's why you alignment shift her fampai
>>333223130
He's a thief and an illusionist.
Basically treat him like a thief outside of combat and as a mage inside of combat.
Use his invisibility spells instead of stealth and he can find traps while avoiding combat and inside combat he's your typical mage minus necromancy or whatever illusionists miss out on.
Mages play a key role in the games to remove buffs from enemies and as crowd control + party buffs.
Use him for removing buffs and casting haste like you would any other caster + with the added bonus of being helpful outside of combat.
Plus when he gets the epic level abilities he has access to use any item... which is just overpowered out the dick.
Keldorn ain't got shit on JJ.
>>333223981
Anomen with Crom Feyr is disgustingly awesome.
>>333224148
Keldorn with Carsomyr is a monster. His double level dispel is extremely useful too and true sight comes in handy.

>>333224258
Oh god yeah.
I waited until after I returned from the underdark to do Firkraag, so Anomen was high-ish level.
Reached that room full of undead, cast invis on Anomen and had him turn undead in the room.
Everything chunks.
Many keks were had.

>>333224638
I get why they're doing it. To be honest if you don't own the originals you should just pirate them if you want to play them. Buying them gives money to Beamdog anyways.
>>333224750
Because dualclassing is lame as fuck while levelling.
>>333224638
Anything to push their degenerate, perverse ideology.
>>333224750
Not him but Cleric/Mage is legit OP.
Just because of the ability to put cleric spells in sequencers/triggers/contingencies.

>shitting on Cleric/Ranger
Nah mang.
Is ToB good and/or a decent length?
I've beaten SoA a couple times but never did ToB
>>333224892
sure I can see that but I never even really bothered with those on my casters anyway because it was just easier to nuke/simulacrum/projected image spam
>>333224862
dual classing can be a bit of a pain getting back your old class but I kind of like it
Stage 1 playing as one class
Stage 2 playing as a different class, while admittedly weaker than the rest of the party for a little while
Stage 3 become death destroyer of worlds
>>333225020
Yes.
>>333225020
It's shorter than SoA and more combat oriented, but it's legit great.
It brings a conclusion to the story, you should definitely play it.
>>333225020
SoA was better.
ToB gets kinda silly (mages are unstoppable killing machines, warriors are totally useless, armor is totally useless) worth playing though.
>>333225016
Did they remove the high level druid spells from EE in that build?
I've been meaning to make that class for 2 with the core group + the secret character from 2 and maybe the paladin.
>>333224892
How do I use sequencers/triggers/contingencies effectively? Should I use it for buffing?
>>333225020
Play it with Ascension and Wheels of Prophecy. Ascension was made by Gayder himself and there's no reason not to get it. WoP makes it less linear.
>>333224862
>Buying them gives money to Beamdog anyways.
Are you sure? Beamdog doesn't actually own the BG license or anything do they? I figured the money went to CDPR and Bioware.
>>333225157
>warriors are totally useless
I wouldn't go that far.
With the proper weapon and Greater Whirlwind Attack, shit dies really fast to warriors.
>>333225157
>warriors are totally useless
Greater whirlwind/greater cleave can do some pretty impressive damage.
>>333225242
Why do you think they're bundling the classic games with the EE?
>>333225201
I have a few set to offensive nuke spells, one for buffing, and one for debuffing.
>>333225201
>magic missile, magic missile, magic missile
kinda silly but thats probably what i used the most... most effective for harder fights like dragons and such with super high magic resistance
So goyim...multi or dual fighter/mage?
>>333224993
HotU is pretty great, but again I don't really think the writing is that great in it (who doesn't love Deekin though). I should try Darkness over Daggerford, thanks.
>>333225250
>>333225279
sure they do damage but even with -10 AC they get hit fucking constantly and require a lot of healing while some mage/warrior can just rape everything on the screen by itself with no help or damage taken
>>333225387
Dual. Easily.
>>333225196
>Did they remove the high level druid spells from EE in that build?
I honestly don't know, haven't played it in the EE.
>>333225458
So... you suck at using warriors. Right.
>>333225465
what level to dual at?
Also why dual? Wouldn't a multi get access to both fighter and mage HLAs?
>>333225387
dual because muh kensai and I don't really care about fighter high level abilities
>>333225414
I'm not sure if I'd call Baldur's Gate writing amazing either. It's just a fun adventure with memorable characters.
>>333225341
I guess I was being hopeful. I'll just pirate BG2 then.
>>333225570
Because Fighter/Mage multi can't pick a fighter kit.
The entire reason to dual class mage is to start as a Kensai and dual to mage.
>>333225570
dual because kensai is a better fighter with no armor, level to do it is like 7 or 9, can't remember
>>333225570
Basicaly dual allows you to take kits and generally reach a much higher level in mage than multi a lot faster.
>>333223017
Mah nigga. Keldorn all day, errrrrry day.
>tfw Keldorn puts the rapes on Demagorgon in ToB
>No mention of the Dark Alliance games
Those things were tops for couch gaming with my siblings back in my teenage years.
>>333225720
9 is better, 7 is easier.
>>333225569
>using warriors right
>some way to magically avoid getting hit 30-40% of the time even at max armor class
just stack mages and face roll the game with timestops
>muh FTM

fuck min/maxing
whats the most fun meme build you've done a saga run as?
>>333225661
Just buy the Baldur's Gate 4 in 1 Boxset on Amazon

Not anymore, it has a transgender NPC. That means it's apparently trash now and its entire legacy is worthless because we can't handle even the slightest thing that goes against our Anti-SJW regime.
>>333225871
blade is my shit, if I were ever in dnd for real I'd be a blade no contest
>>333225835
>just stack mages and face roll the game with timestops
And what are you going to do against the bosses that are immune to timestop without meat shields to keep your mages alive?
>>333225661
Old BG2 still works fine and looks great. I already own the old versions on GOG.
>>333225775
Apparently Beamdog wants to do an EE for both Dark Alliance games. That was before this whole drama started though.
>>333223842
>not taking all three
How does it feel to be apleb?
>>333225871
solo'd baldurs gate 1 as a fighter/mage/thief in a few hours. that was pretty fun/bg1 was pretty broken
fighter/mage with tensers transformation and buffs is just fucking broken though probably the best
>>333225775
DA 1 was primo shit man, even if it was piss easy the whole game
DA 2 not as much, but it was still good and could actually be difficult
Besides kensai/mage, what is your favorite overpowered combo?
I really like cleric/ranger, as due to engine limitations they get access to all druidic spells, so it has much better offensive than a cleric. And with ranger's innate talent for dual-wielding, they can do some mean shit with crom faeyr + fail of ages with some cleric buffs.
I also like the Blade kit (Hear'Dalis uses it), even though people usually hate bards. If I remember correctly, offensive spin makes all your attacks hit for maximum damage, and they can use improved haste and tenser's transformation on themselves. It's not a kensai/mage, but something like a more balanced but similar idea version of it.
Inquisitor is sometimes overlooked, but it can carry your group against casters with his ridiculously powerful instant cast dispel magic and true seeing.
>>333225993
>tensers transformation
>smash face
fighter classes are totally obsolete in ToB
>>333225871
Are blades actually good? I want to do one for my next BG playthrough.
>>333225898
Nice strawman, anon. No one hates the classic games, but the expansion is trash (also for reasons other than the new characters)
>>333226192
Tenser's Transformation is not going to help you beat Demogorgon or Melissan or Balthazar.
>>333226260
Have you played it?
>>333225871
Jester is pretty damn fun.
>>333226221
blades are good if you know what you're doing
they're not as powerful as any of the min-maxed builds, but you can do pretty much everything proficiently by yourself with none of the min-maxing effort
>>333226317
Not him, but I've played the expansion and its garbage.
Its forced linear as fuck. You're forced to take Safana. Which sucks because single class theives are garbage.
>>333226298
i don't remember having to reload much for any fights in ToB. been a while though but mostly just remember spamming level 9 spells while my fighters stood around injured in the corner
played them all on the highest difficulty
>>333225890
Yeah right that's probably so expe--
>$10
You're my hero, anon.
>>333226423
>You're forced to take Safana
Why?
>>333226570
Because that's the character the writer gave a "personality upgrade" to. So they want to make sure you have to use her.
>>333226423
Are you sure?
That doesn't sound right, is she the only thief or something?
>>333225898
if you had the most delicious soup and someone would spit into it, would it still be a delicious soup?
think about it young padawan
>>333226570
muh womyn characterization
>>333226664
Probably. I could just scoop it out and finish the soup.
>>333226868
Hi, George Costanza.
>>333226423
Is there really no way to tell her to fuck off?
>>333226868
could you really? be honest with yourself
>>333226508
No problem friend.
Buttkicking for goodness!
>>333226973
Yes I could. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
>>333227056
Although, at the risk of sounding stupid, will they run on Win7 well? I know the GOG versions are supposedly optimized for newer systems but I never really knew what that entailed.
>>333223815
>implying BG2 has a good path
>"Hey guys, I found sources, the local cult of Mask or the vampire sister of the guy who's trying to kill us"
No wonderthe novelizationdepicted Charname as a moron.
>>333227169
>the local cult of Mask
The Shadow Thieves are not a cult of mask.
>>333227145
BG runs at 30fps at all times unless you want to double your game speed but you should be fine.
>>333227145
You might need to put them in compatibility mode and run as admin, but I'm pretty sure they will run. For Baldur's Gate you will probably want to install TuTu.
>>333227282
Aren't they?Anyway it's not like I didn't pick shadow thieves in NWN2 either when there's actually little reason to, aside from the fact that it makes the trial a lot funnier
>>333227782
>Aren't they?
No they aren't. They are just a thief guild.
Pillars of Eternity has better art
>>333228416
>Project Eternity will take the central hero, memorable companions and the epic exploration of Baldur’s Gate, add in the fun, intense combat and dungeon diving of Icewind Dale, and tie it all together with the emotional writing and mature thematic exploration of Planescape: Torment.
Shame it failed on all those fronts.
>>333228608
>IWD dungeon diving
>fun
It was monotonous and boring as fuck.
Enemies fight, more enemies fight, oh cool more enemies to fight. Some npcs need my help. How can I help them? Fighting enemies.
Wow awesome.
>>333227061
Also there's a delicious ramen place near where I'd live. I would still drink the soup if someone hocked a loogie in it. It's that good.
>>333223981
How do you use rasaad senpai he looks weak to me?
>>333229103
Low level D&D is never fun. The only fun thing in the combat is spell battles once you have access to at least level 4 spells.
Too bad most of IWD is low level.
>>333209464
a lot of closet sjws here, especially from /co/ so yeah, they need their safe spaces
>>333229849
Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: /pol/ was right again.
>>333226173
>cleric/ranger
So do i take Ranger as the first class, level up to 2 and then dual to Cleric to get all the cool shit?
>tfw /v/ is cucked bullshit
>4chan is still niggertits
>in 3 years, /v/ will be talking about Gone Home being decent
>in 3 years, /v/ will have trigger warnings
>mfw I'll be enjoying the best chan as 4chan keeps getting more shit
>>333221941
Most important thing is that it's simply awfully written. It genuinely feels like a really bad fanfiction. Scott has no talent whatsoever.
There's also lore rape, like for example having a trans character (in a world where you can have your gander changed through spells or items) who basically throws "im trans" in your face at the beginning of conversation.
Pirate it if you REALLY want to play it, it's not worth the money at all.
>>333230086
Nope, you just choose Half-Elf as your race and Cleric/Ranger as your class.
you know what, Siege of Dragonspear made me appreciate Bioware's writing a bit more

But i thought humans were the only ones who could dual class, also i dont like elfs, even if they are half of them
>>333207587
>Does /v/ like Baldur's Gate?
Interesting way to gauge the average age of /v/
>>333230346
It's a multiclass.
>>333230302
There was no such thing as /v/ in 2005, newfag.
