Morgoth Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) For anyone wondering, there is a cool component inside tweaks and tricks named "Fair fights". Readme here: https://github.com/BGforgeNet/bg2-tweaks-and-tricks/blob/master/docs/gameplay.md#fair-fights While there is a "safe" component, there is also a risky component that does the following: Quite a few creatures in the game are wearing items that grant them various protections and buffs such as Globe of Minor Invulnerability, Speed, etc (Kahrk being one notorious example, but there's more). Presumably, the developers' intention was to compensate for the lacking AI. However, nowadays there are many AI-enhancing mods, such as SCS (which lets enemies pre-buff, too). With powerful AI, having extra free protections seems unjustified and plain unfair. This removes all such items from all creatures. This is a power user component as it hasn't been thouroughly tested. You've been warned. Note, though, that some items are actually needed to progress in the game, as you can see from the code (e.g Aldeth: https://github.com/BGforgeNet/bg2-tweaks-and-tricks/blob/master/tnt/components/fair_fights/mages.tpa). So if you have any suggestions on the technical execution or have anything to report by playing the game, posts here in this topic would be welcome. I'm starting my playthrough with the "risky" component above, hopefully, on sunday. Edited June 23, 2023 by Morgoth Quote Link to comment
Salk Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I find the component Fair Fights very interesting, actually. I would most definitely use it, but only if it was properly tested though. The warning about it not having been thoroughly tested is quite scary. Quote Link to comment
Morgoth Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 I've played with fair fights a few playthroughs with no issues. The risky one is the one that removes items on npcs. And I'm trying that one for the first time. Quote Link to comment
Salk Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Well, then I will be very interested in learning how it's been working for you, Morgoth. I'm sure Magus will appreciate the feedback. Quote Link to comment

Morgoth Posted July 15, 2023 Author Share Posted July 15, 2023 Thoughts about the game. - Charisma 3 really makes an impact on Baldur’s gate EE. What I experienced: everyone treats you like dirt, starting from Winthrop, Hull saying that younglings are the cause of iron shortage due to their laziness, being accused of having killed the cat of the little girl in the waterfall, being unable to get aldeth sashenstar quest to end with Quileu not believing you were rewarded with both the cloak and the helmet of Balduran. - Bards are really atrocious in this game. I’ve used Garrick and only for the song all the time. He had almost no spells, even if he reached level 10. I also discovered that, by being low intelligence, his spellbook gets full almost immediately. He basically siphoned 1/6 of my experience to no result. I used him only to sing his harp, only to discover that the bonus in BG:EE for the bard song are really really low and you’re supposed to use a mod to change bard songs to their IWD counterpart. Add on top of that that I had to install the following tweak: Bigger Bard song by Tresset, otherwise it was not good enoughhttps://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/comment/824790/#Comment_824790 - The Bandit’s camp is really empty without the SCS component. I installed the Call for help, without the difficulty component. And it was disappointing. - I think that there is no point on playing with a full party if you don’t use BG1NPC mod. - I didn't meet any bug using the Tweaks and Tricks component that removes the item from Npcs.

Add on top of that that I had to install the following tweak: Bigger Bard song by Tresset, otherwise it was not good enough Vanilla bard song provides fear immunity. Very useful, especially since so many mages use Horror. Then it also grants +1 luck, which is extra physical damage dealt and a bonus to hit and a reduction in magical damage taken all at once. It's not a waste at all. When you want a bit more oomph - then you start using wands. I ran Garrick in my no-spellcasting party, and despite his very low kill count I would classify him as essential. Also, the range on vanilla bard song? It covers the entire area (but only party members). You don't need that tweak at all with Garrick.

The condition in his script is "NumTimesTalkedTo(30)". You're being thrown off by the fact that it counts the quest dialogue as well as the repetitive options. Incidentally, the version you meet in Beregost is carrying exactly 300 less gold than the version you meet in Candlekeep. It doesn't matter for the script, because the gold he gives you doesn't come from what he's carrying, but it's there in the creature file. Quote Link to comment

I always play with high charisma and I was curious to see what were the differences in treatment toward <charname> if he had low charisma. The fact that you have to put the "leader" in the first slot to overrule the low charisma was something I learned only recently, but thanks!! For the bard song - are you sure about the entire area? Because the moment my own character went a little far from Garrick, I would lose the bonus. I'm sure of that, because I didn't know about tresset tweak and I searched for a mod adding a bigger area radius for bards song for this very exact reason. Quote Link to comment
jmerry Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 On having a party "face" ... mostly, the reason to put them in the first slot is that when you click on an NPC as a group, that's who talks to them. That placement also matters more directly when you're looking for the shop discount; that only cares about who's in the first slot, regardless of who talks to the NPC. On vanilla bard song range ... it has to do with how the various songs are implemented. All of the kitted bard songs - and presumably other songs you might add - use a projectile for their targeting. Specifically, a standard medium area of effect, party-friendly. A vanilla bard's song works differently; it has no projectile and just affects all party members directly. Unlimited range, but the tradeoff is that it doesn't help allies and summons that aren't explicitly in the party. Do you have anything in your setup that changed bard songs? Vanilla bard song is fjbardb.spl. Quote Link to comment

Basically, even if your thief hasn't "detect traps" activated, he will have an innate sense that will make him shout "TRAPS" when there are traps near. I find it cheaty, but I also enjoy it a lot.

I'm planning to install BG2, and Tresset's tweak bigger bard songs is one of the tweak I would like to install. Quote Link to comment
jmerry Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) The tweak does make a difference. For vanilla bards (such as Garrick), it allows their song to affect allies and summons in addition to the party. For skalds, blades, and the HLA "Enhanced Bard Song" (such as Haer'Dalis), it greatly increases the range of the song. Edited January 31 by jmerry Quote Link to comment
