Finding the location of a secret prison that houses magical deviants isn't cheap.

Beamdog is a guilty of a number of different crimes. Here are the major ones.
1. The Enhanced Editions are essentially a collection of free mods that had existed for nearly twenty years. Beamdog gathered them all up, slapped "Enhanced Edition" on it and resold it as a new product. There's very very little in the Enhanced Editions that wasn't already out there, and most of it is stuff you don't want (like obnoxious character outlines).
2. The games didn't sell so well and the originals were still far outselling them, even twenty years after their release, so Beamdog had EVERY digital distributor stop selling the originals and ONLY sell the Enhanced Edition. If you want to buy a digital copy of the originals now, they're "bundled" into the Enhanced Edition. Now these scumbags can claim sales from people just wanting to buy the originals as their own.
3. The infamous 600+ bugs on launch. The game is still riddled with bugs (as even a perfunctory glance over their forums show) but the fact that it took nearly two years for them to get a game that had been working fine for 20 years to reach playability after launch is telling of their wild incompetence.
4. This is where we get to the ones that really piss people off. Beamdog couldn't just remaster the game, they had to fuck with the content too. New dialogue for existing NPCs like Jaheira, Viconia, Safana, Kivan, et cetera was written in to make the characters more progressive and leftist friendly. Beamdog shills will argue that "adding content isn't changing content XDDD" but it is when the new content changes the core personalities of the existing characters. This is in addition to adding a slew of their own LGBT (hitherto there were none in Baldur's Gate) NPCs, all flooded with OP attributes and magic items to encourage people to play them despite their cancer.
5. Siege of motherfucking Dragonspear.

Jaheira IS a CUTE wife user! She IS a CUTE mommy wife AND Charname IS superior TO Khalid it IS good! Give ME mommy wife! Give ME Jaheira wife!

Kayden Bell
Not sure which mod did this, but now the Friendly Arm Inn has a fuck ton of NPCs and there's a dwarf in the corner who can craft and combine items together making them OP as fuck
Joseph Edwards
Based user. Doing gods work. Never fail.

Do you install mod blindly?

What kind of woman goes to cheat on her still warm husband corpse with the first man they find?
Benjamin Lewis
The best kind
Eli Reyes
>Dump your stuttering hubby who's DEAD for the son of a GOD
It's called trading up. Like way up
Jeremiah Allen
Jaheira WAS a FRUSTRATED mommy wife user! She WAS an UNSATISFIED mommy wife! She DOES crave STRONG young man WITH virility AND endurance user! She DID think OF Charname IN Baldur's Gate WHEN she WAS bored UNDER premature Khalid! She is NOT bored IN Baldur's Gate 2 BECAUSE she IS with Charname user she DOES prefer YOUNG man WITH larger qualities! (She does! She does!)
Samuel Martinez
It's not cheating when the husband is dead. Also people finding new spouses after the current one dies isn't as uncommon as you think
Aaron White
Yeah most mods for these games aren't balanced at all. They either give you op items or make you fight op opponents, usually both
Hudson Davis
>wants my tiny halfling dick not even after a week of grieving
She's whore and that's why we love her
Logan Adams
She only romances humans, elves or half elves. Aerie is the one who accepts halflings, unless you mod it of course
Asher Rogers
>he has trouble getting the gold
Maybe you should go play a more zoomer friendly "RPG", like D:OS2.
Dylan Allen
Humans, half-elves and halflings were the races that could romance any of the girls. Viconia wouldn't romance full elves but was the only girl who'd go for a half-orc. Aerie would romance gnomes (because her foster father was one yuck) and elves. Jaheira would fuck elves. Dwarves were left out in the cold entirely.
Hunter Ross
Every single elven hoe wants halfling SS. Every. Single. One.

I am looking to play Baldurs gate 1 and 2 for the first time soon. Any tips bros?

Gives a reason for a party of level 10 characters to run around doing fetch quests.

post yfw you buy the console ports later this year and enjoy them.

If Khalid wasn't such a passive bitch she would have been fine lol. Not that beamdog gave a fuck outside of muh outrage.
Jacob Thomas
Truth.

>the romance mod will take forever and will probably be shit
Isaac Rogers
at least we *might* be able to change the art & play locally right?
Cameron Clark
never forgetti!
Zachary Foster
Guys its almost 2020. When we will get an SJW tv show based on Baldur Gate or Planescape Torment?
Connor Taylor
That is still in works? I think when BG2 EE came out I checked if a Mazzy romance mod existed and there was one wip. Is it the same?
Aiden Martin
based
Ryder Clark
Is any of this shit worth it? Or is this just the "Dude Planescape lmao" shop? Still on chapter 2.
Alexander Adams
Dak'kon Zerth blade is pretty good for f/ms but falls after a while since it doesn't have an upgrade
Vhailor's Helm is really good for anyone who can wear it
Ian Perry
Also if that is the vendor that sells Shield of Balduran, I suggest buying it before chapter 4

>turns out I forgot to finish Lothander's quest in Baldur's Gate to cure the poison
fucking hell I'm still mad
I spent a good 2 hours learning how to modify quest flags with shadowkeeper to fix it
Jaxson Clark
ignore Yea Forums, play EE but pirate it. Berserker is a good beginner class. Bows kick ass in BG1 but drop off in BG2.
Logan Campbell
Its like 3 dollars on sale??
Cameron Parker
Play a sorcerer, look up a recommended spell list and recruit Edwin. Sorcerers are strong as fuck in both BG1 and BG2.
READ THE SPELLS
You could also go melee, Fighter/Mage is the usual recommended class for that but they only begin to shine in BG2.
Fighter 3 dualclassed into cleric is also one of my favorite builds for low level 2e. You get a good chunk of HP and weapon grandmastery from those fighters levels and lose maybe 1 of cleric. But if you're planning of sticking to this character all throught bg1 and bg2 you shouldgo dwarf and multiclass instead
Ayden Stewart
>beamnigger OC
fuck off
Logan Moore
Noted. Thanks anons.
Nathaniel Wright
Literally how ?
Aiden Jones
>that one house in BG full of rabid chickens
what the fuck was that even about
John Rivera
Can't wait to play it during this winter
Luis Robinson
Doesn't she sell vecna's robe? How is that not worth it?
Samuel Hernandez
>Save Imoen
Why? I left her dead outside of andlekeep in my solo run.
Also reminder that if you play EE of Baldur's Gate 1 or 2 then you must KYS.
Bentley Cruz
I'm getting to the end of my BG1 playthrough. I've got a pretty routine ...routine now, to fill out my party, gear up, and head into the later chapters.
Never managed such a thing with 2 though, and I'm pretty sure I haven't even seen 90% of the game, despite beating Irenicus years ago. At least I hope I haven't. Game felt short as fuck back then.
Where can I see a good, semi-completionist run of BG2, maybe with some earlygame strat(s), like using Korax in Mutamin's Garden to hit Lv4 immediately after the prologue in BG1?
Leo Roberts
>I was too stupid to find a torrent of the original releases and couldn't find mods and fixes either
good to know
Isaiah Wilson
>not having to play on my desktop
I can't wait.
Austin Bailey
you have not beaten bg2

Grayson Bennett
Vhailor's helm can be a free simulacrum for for warrior classes or multi-classes like Aerie.
Evan Diaz
>not putting Vecna's robe and amulet of power of your sorcerer so you can cast 30+ spells when you have improved alacrity and time stop
Camden Peterson
>absurd amount of gold
It's a mechanic to justify why you're fucking around exploring the world on what feels like a very time sensitive quest.
The money is also trivial to raise.
Jason Gomez
Savage.
John Green
Curious but how much debt are you in IRL?
Landon Anderson
>not distributing casting time reduction items all over your party so everyone can cast mirror image/stoneskin instantly the moment they run out
Vecna on its own is enough for time stop/acrility shenanigans
Brayden Foster
It's all junk, don't listen to people trying to get you to buy useless shit like "robe of vecna".
Lol we used to play that trick on nerds at school, can't believe people are still doing it.
Adrian Perry
I would but I got report banned because apparently spamming every baldurs gate thread with this sperg roleplaying is allowed
Elijah Rogers
go dilate
Noah Barnes
>giving 3 dollars to beamdykes
Negative.
Joshua Martinez
>played twice co-op mode in EE edition with a friend
>twice our game crash in a certain spot
>unable to reload previous saves because onec it crash, all saves become unuseable
>forum and mods can't even help in our matter
you warned me in so many threads, yet i bought EE cheap just to experience "easy" co-op with a friend.
i have failed you
Sebastian Morgan
I think this should be a stick:
DO NOT INSTALL ANY BIG QUEST MODS FOR BG1 OR BG2
Benjamin Lewis
Bump, I guess.
Chase Jenkins
>Or if not a lot, there's a couple

I go to cRPG threads because a certain waifu autist relieves me of stress
Samuel Lopez
The robe for when you get epic abilities/time stop.
Jayden Sullivan
I guess there's now demand for a mod that periodically adds reminders about the poison. Like your character complaining how he feels worse and worse as time goes on.
Austin Parker
BG:EE does add that I think. AFAIK after 2 or 3 days you will get a text implying something about an illness
Brandon Young
Thank you for your service based pasta poster.
Mason Perez
Enriched edition is shit, tho.
Matthew Turner
>there's now demand for a mod that periodically adds reminders about the poison
not really
Mason Turner
At least one user somehow managed to forget about a deadly poison running through his PC's body long enough to get him killed well after the point of no return, though.
