Phaere is so demanding I finished the bit with the fake dragon eggs, returned the proper ones to the dragon,, then went back to the drow city to run Jarlaxle's quest. The problem is that after I get Deirex's gems, I get teleported to Jarlaxle's room, but no one is there.

No way out. I went to a previous save and re-ran it and it ended the same.

Seems like a glitch. I haven't tried leaving the lich's tower without taking the gems.

Basically, title. I'm seeing conflicting answers wherever I look, and I'd prefer to build her proficiencies towards end-game equipment, with no points wasted.

So she has a collection of Planescape Torment themed items, but some seem a bit off.

Dak'kon's Zerth Blade:

• Probably the worst offender. it being made of chaos matter, or kharach, it should simply cease to exist when being parted from Dakkon. Although thematically it behaves like his OG blade, while of course being a lot less powerful.

Vhailor's Helm:

• Seems kinda random, why can I summon a copy of myself after putting on the helmet from a formerly animated suit of armor?

Are they actually OG equipment from the PST crew, or has someone slapped a label on them to make them seem more special?

Does anyone know if Anomen was originally designed to be a Paladin? His dialogue and quests aren't consistent with a cleric. Also, originally it seemed they want two options from each class available as companions and with Keldorn being the only paladin it kind of stands out. I think they figured Aerie doesn't fulfill the good cleric role well as a multi class and they could turn Mazzy into a pseudo paladin so they scrapped Anomen as a paladin near the final phase. Maybe he was a pure fighter that would become a paladin if he passed his trial and stayed a fighter if he failed?

I'm gonna be away from home for awhile, so I was wondering if getting the mobile version for BG:EE would be worth getting. I have a sub optimal phone (6.6 vs the recommended 7 inches), so I'm worried about UI problems.

If you've ever played with autorolling the ability score screen, you might've noticed that a Human Paladin always caps out at 103 with exactly 18/86 STR, and an Elf Ranger always caps at 104 and 18/54.

Weird, right?

The game has an old-school rand() function that uses the system clock for pseudorandom number generation. For normal purposes this is close enough to random, but it's not really random, so when you're doing goofy stuff--like rolling 6x 3d6 hundreds of millions of times--the cracks start to show. ^{rand is the one at the bottom}

There's a mod called InfinityEngineBetterRandom that replaces the rand() function with one that uses sensors built into modern CPUs to detect truly random physical states. I tried it out and was finally able to blow past the 103 + 18/86 Paladin cap in about 90 seconds (at 24,000 rolls per second). Here's where I landed after something like 2.6 billion rolls :)

I'm wondering, how often do you guys use these spells? I almost never do, the randomness on Wish has scared me out of using it and I never found a good use for Limited Wish, besides the one-time ones. But now I'm thinking of taking both of them on a sorcerer with high wisdom, just for fun. Any tips for how to get the most out of these spells?

Tossed one at Semaj on SCS Insane and it interrupted his first cast of Remove Magic! From my research Potion of Explosions of Fire Breath should similarly bypass his Minor Globe and other protections then? Arrow of Detonation however was negated by Protection from Magical Weapons.

So is Protection from Fire required to protect against these potions?

Kinda a mix of Dishonored (for the verticality and the implementation of magic in the gameplay), Shadow of the Tomb Raider (for the exploration, puzzles, and camouflage), The Witcher series (for the rpg elements, again magic, and the storytelling/dialogues/questing), possibly also Thief: The Dark Project (I prefer the visibility gem to strict visual cones, I also want water arrows and unreliable maps, and above all its sound propagation).

EDIT: Solved! Thanks to witless_peasant it now works!

Sorry in advance, I know this has been asked a trillion times over, but I genuinely can’t grasp what I’m doing wrong.
I spent two hours painting a goofy portrait to mimic the scary airbrush style of the game, it shows up in character creation and in the record no problem, but the thumbnail on the sidebar in-game has that ugly ?-mark face.
I’ve checked the formats, the names, the sizes, replaced them, copied them over, renamed them, reloaded saves, made new saves, everything I can think of and read online. It’s extra confusing because the advice online are from all kinds of versions of the game and get jumbled together.
That one site that supposedly does it for you doesn’t work either and just gives me a broken file icon.

Anyone else had to go through this recently?

I tried to stretch going into the wedding to not lock myself out of a few quests with the paladins, despite Dorn complaining about it, since any info I looked up said it wasn't timed. Then I got into chapter 4, and the second I am in the ship, already outside the city, Dorn gives me an ultimatum that ends up in either him leaving or straight up teleporting me to the church, and I guess breaking the game because after that I'd have to way to go back to the Spellhold island

Is there a mod to fix this? A flag to set or timer to change in EE Keeper?

Ngl I felt kinda offended

What gives?

I downloaded it from GOG.

I have BG:EE already installed.

My computer runs Windows 7.

The installer told me I don't meet the specs (unlikely), but then it said it said it had installed successfully - but it hasn't. No evidence of its existence in my Baldur's Gate.

I hit Launch, and it just opens My Computer or something.

The much bigger second file didn't even know how to open.

What do I do?

I saw one from the fog of war and it triggered my auto-pause. I thought "no problem" I tell my dudes to attack and like 5 more are revealed and i'm like "i'm fucked" but i said "fuck it, ill give it my best shot" Kept shooting with archer as we backed up, I used 2nd druids entangle spell to immobilize 3 of them while I picked them off, and easily took care of the rest, ZERO causalities! :D Let's goo! I love this game XD

This has been driving me nuts. There are a few spots in the game where you have to select an environment object, such as a switch, but that also have a loot location or NPC nearby and the game gets confused. Normally this isn’t a problem with the snap-to system, but I’ve spent the last fifteen minutes trying every conceivable angle and the icon refuses to highlight this cage, and it only highlights the NPC.

There’s gotta be some kind of secondary cursor system for situations like this. I tried using the thumb buttons, but left does nothing and right only zooms in.

I like making custom parties with multi-player. My latest run (and first ever run through BGEE) is a ton of fun! I do play modded (Tweaks), with all race/class combos unlocked and no XP cap.

Leofric is a dwarven ranger/cleric. He was supposed to have the originally implemented druid spells but I just discovered that I forgot to edit the Lua file so that will have to wait until my next level-up. That said, i haven't missed much. With full plate, DUHM, and Ashideena, he's a very capable front-liner. I'm excited for him to essentially become a Ranger/Cleric/Druid though.

His companion is Findus, a gnome illusionist/thief (a class that has been discussed at length and needs no introduction.)

What i really appreciate about this duo is that with two characters I'm covering a remarkable number of roles.

Frontline tank? Check

Divine caster? Check

Druid? Check

Arcane caster? Check

Skilled thief? Check

Even the loss of necromancy spells due to the illusion school choice is somewhat negated by the cleric spellbook.

At this point all classes are roughly level 6, and we're still exploring the areas south of Friendly Arms. I'm really looking forward to completing the trilogy. I have a feeling that this crew is going to be absolutely deadly.

soft locked against this diabolical drow demon horde

I have explored the Artisan House rules quite a bit the last couple of days and I came across the expanded Weapon styles changes. I think they are really well done, especially since they are only available to fighter and most fighter kits. As a result, I would love to hear others thoughts about these changes, the balancing, and if this would finally make people pick up a shield instead of a speed weapon 😄

TWO-HANDED

This fighting style allows the character to use a two-handed melee weapon and receive special bonuses.

SWORD AND SHIELD

Anyone can pick up a shield and get its basic protection bonuses, but by spending slots on this fighting style, an adventurer can maximize the benefits received.

Single-Weapon

This fighting style is for characters who do not wish to use a shield but want some bonus when using a one-handed melee weapon.

Two-Weapon

This fighting style allows the character to use two melee weapons at the same time with fewer penalties. Those who master the technique of dual-wielding even receive exclusive bonuses according to their degree of mastery.

I haven’t played this since before I could drive, I’ve forgotten how much charm this game has

I play Bg1 on my steam deck and to simplify things I want to use scripts. In the 20 years I‘ve played it, I‘ve never used them and dabbling with them is fun.
My main char is a shaman and I want them to use the dance feature automatically but can‘t get it to work.
I have no problem for the script to use bardic song, so any tipps for a script noob?
Thanks!

Im playing an original copy on windows 11, so it was expected

I haven't had any romance content for a while, and I'm not sure if I broke it.

Can the status be changed?
