If you don't mind a little metagaming, this will help you.
This thread is making me want to abandon my KOTOR play through and finish BG:EE!
Vampire:The Masquerade - Bloodlines is probably my favorite GAME, but Baldur's Gate is my favorite RPG, I think. Not saying V:TM-B isn't an RPG, but BG is more of a hardcore, traditional RPG (imo). It's just a lovely, lovely experience. It's like Diablo with party members, tactical combat and a more involved story. Great stuff.
Both are in my all-time top 10, probably even top 5, but I'd still put Gothic 1&2 ahead of them. Baldur's Gate 1&2 are my favorite party-based RPGs though.
Pillars of Eternity, Fluent Also, Torment: Tides of Numenera.
Nope, you just keep the boss occupied while you run in to grab it with your thief really fast at the start of the fight.I saw that people suggested using the Sword of Balduran for that fight, but that sword was locked in a trapped chest behind where the greater werewolf was standing. Is there some way, through dialog maybe, to have him not attack you instantly so you can go and get the sword first?
Yep, this also works, but it relies on a lucky streak of hits to bring him down. Damage is more consistent with a strength potion and the sword.I had to use the Werebane dagger with Minsc and that seemed to help. The only other person that could hit him was my main character who was using the +3 vs. shapeshifter sword. The rest of the damage dealt was wands and magic.
It's mostly SS in BG and the wizard west of Beregost. The other potion merchants generally don't have any of the good stuff (22-24 str potions, magic block, haste potions, potions of invulnerability, mirror potion against various attacks like petrification).Is there somewhere I can replenish my supply of potions now? I used a lot of strength, defense and healing potions and I need to restock. I think I purchased everything from Sorcerous Sundries in BG, so I'm not sure where else to go. Does his supply restock?
Frankly, and this is just my opinion, you would get a lot more enjoyment out of these games if you invested more of yourself in them. As in, enjoy the journey and the discovery of mechanics - instead of asking all these questions which will only serve to taint the enjoyment factor in the long run.
Again, just my opinion - but some of these games are so good, they really need to be "discovered" rather than merely consumed.
Thanks! Seems I missed that entire section of the map.
Another quick question. What is the cap for thieving skills? I already have 100 in Open Locks but I can keep putting points into it, so I'm wondering what the max is since it seems more than 100. Is any benefit gained by going over 100 in skills?
Can someone also explain what Wisdom does? I read the manual but I'm still not sure. I have a Tome of Understanding I'd like to give to someone.
Kind of a spoiler-ish question.
Is Candlekeep the last place you visit to end the game? Reason I ask is because I just got transported there automatically after completing quests for Duke Eltan, but I still have Ulgoth's Beard to explore and want to know if I should do that first and go to Candlekeep later? Please, no heavy spoilers, just want to know if you can travel the world map after Candlekeep. Thanks.
If you've uncovered the entire map and cleared most of the areas, you should be able to handle the expansion areas by now. Story-wise, it doesn't matter when you go.
I'll keep that in mind about archers. My tactics usually are gang the entire party up on the mage immediately, while Dynaheir casts Deafness and Jaheira casts Miscast Magic. If I'm lucky, I can incapacitate the mage before any serious is damage is done.
I usually don't worry about melee enemies. It's the mages that are the real trouble. Oh, and archers who use stunning arrows/darts. They can be trouble, too.
Thanks for the words, though. I'm definitely appreciative of the classics. To be honest, I don't feel like they are weaker games AT ALL because they are older. Sure, they're not all modernized with shiny new graphics and a million cutscenes and what not, but the core gameplay and features of the game are as good as ever, if not BETTER than modern games.
All in all, I would take Baldur's Gate over nearly any modern game I've played. It's that good. Same with Vampire - Bloodlines, Gothic, Divine Divinity, etc. These games are truly great games that I'm thankful I'm finally able to play!
