Healing cheat

Xiryith · Post by **Xiryith** » Thu Jul 21, 2005 4:38 am

Some characters can be healed fully in combat by pausing and then keeping on equipping and unequipping the obsidian ioun stone until fully healed. Wether it works depends on CON. I believe it woked when your constitution was someting like 17 or 19, but not when it is 18. (but it could be the other way around, I suppose I should check on that).

A similar effect can be produced with the Senste amulet (puchased from Deirdre in the Adventurer's Mart) and the Spear of Kuldehar (purchased from Joluv in the Copper Coronet).

1. How is this a "Spoiler" ? It's a bug... or a way to exploit it (cheese).

2. Why did you put ALL your text in black? You should use this format :

Spoiler

Text in Black Here

3. Interesting bug... indeed. But if you *really* want to heal yourself with a cheat, just CTRL + R your characters.. it's way more simple / short.

Yes, that's the one thing I never understand. Such as the Charisma thing, if people actually aim to get 25, why not just use ShadowKeeper. It's much faster.

A lot of cheesy effects can be duplicated by using a game editor. As far as I can see, Xiryith found out a new cheese tactic which he/she thought would be nice to share.

Oh, I'm not saying there's anything bad. In fact, it's great for him to share.

What I'm saying is that if someone spends ages doing these cheeses, and bases their whole game on it, and then uses the defence 'it's in the game', well that's just stupid.

But it's great to see that after this many years, loyal BG2 fans are still pointing out the mistakes of the creators.

And of course, I doubt that he will exploit that, because seriously, in roleplay, you can't chuck a ring over to someone else in the heat of the battle.

I've changed the topic title to correctly reflect the nature of the opening post.

One is a cheat, one is a game exploit... It's a difference.
