Fixes vs. tweaks

Personally I wouldn't consider dudleyfix (as advertised-I haven't used it myself because I encountered problems with it very early on in the game) or baldurdash fixpack as cheating. These mods attempt to fix known problems within the game itself, but they are not designed to give ...

Spoilers abound, reader beware

[QUOTE=Caxen]If you try to clean their drawers or so to speak they will alert the guards. I thought about it for a while and tried several different ways to come around this and *pling* idea! I used dire charm on the two nobles and it worked like a charm. ;) So I ...

I tried them, but I did do all of them at once. Not sure if some are corrupt and others aren't. Did all the suggested backups, etc. still wound up with weird things happening, even in the beginning with Candlekeep. I decided to re-install my patched TOSC and Baldurdash without it.

"Weird things ...

Sounds very impressive, in fact it sounds like your scripts can probably play my characters better than I can

I'm almost afraid that my pc will begin playing the game when I'm gone and fall in love with Jaheira and move to Jamaica

Hehe, thanks Sabre, I was writing that one from work where I don't dare have stuff about BG in my favorites, I must've stumbled across that old link in my search.

The new patch for ToB incorporates Manveru's fix for the Jaheira romance/Harper plot. If you have ToB you might want to download it. You can also get Manveru's patch by itself at ...

There is a short sword +2 that is available pretty early in the game. It takes quite a while to get the short sword of backstabbing, and the Dagger of venom is quite expensive, so you might consider this short sword until you can get one of the others. It is found on an ogre on the map south of High ...

<STRONG>By the way, has anybody noticed whether putting ToB and its patch on top of Kevin's SoA bugpatch actually "unfixes" some of Kevin's bugfixes?</STRONG>

I haven't tried this, but think with the order of installations/patching suggested by Sabre, some "undoing" of ...

In ToB I got a funny dialog between Imoen and Anomen regarding the Knights of the Radiant Heart journeying to Candlekeep to turn a book over to the monks. Anyway, in the end it appears that this book was pornographic in nature and that Winslow kept it in his room. I can't remember the details, but ...

Yeah, there is a fireball trap on the first level that doesn't ever stop fireballing me in my game, just had to learn to hug the wall and sneak around it.

Level 4, congrats!

Holy Sacrilege Batman, it's a Oxymoron!

Now THAT's a good idea, Ned, I may just borrow that one.

That's correct, try to get your whole party as close to the "egg door" as you can ...

Spoilage to follow, although I've tried to use some discretion here:

Bhodi will interact with your romance interest when you go after her again. It is indeed after the Underdark, but you will have to seek her out to advance the story....

Depending on how your romance is progressing ...

I play the game in kind of a leisurely fashion, sometimes not playing for a week or so, so I have used the custom journal entries as a kind of reminder for things I need to do or mean to do. I know the regular journal sort of serves that same purpose, but I don't necessarily want to run through ...

No, it's Saerk's estate which is part of Anomen's quest.

I asked this question a while ago, you might be able to find it by doing a search for "Balthis", but the answers I got were basically that it was part of a quest that never actually got scripted by the developers because of time constraints ...

Trying to figure out what holy sacrilege means...seems to be kind of a contradiction in terms

First of all, I have played BG1 about a million times. Durlag's Tower kinda grew on me after a couple of games, although the first time I tried it I was VERY frustrated, just like you Vivien. Now it's relatively easy, just from repetition I guess. One strategy I still use alot, particularly in ...

Yeah, or mis-written Or DOWNRIGHT LIED!!!!

hehe, I'm all right, really, I swear
