Rastor Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 ...because it's a bug. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am not convinced of that. Link to comment
NiGHTMARE Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 It was intentional for Imoen to lose any spells scribed in her spellbook while in Irenicus' dungeon? I don't think so somehow. More likely Bioware simply decided to take the quick 'n' easy route when it came to implementing this, especially as being able to rescue Imoen was a relatively last minute idea. Link to comment
SimDing0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 As a nice request for the future, can we attempt to have some reasoning on things like this, rather than "NOT A BUG"... "YES IT IS"... "WELL YOU'RE OBNOXIOUS!" You're going to need to give us something to back up what you are or aren't convinced of. Link to comment

In theory we just do something like romance resurrection after Bodhi and just move her CRE file across. Link to comment
Rastor Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 First off, are we including bugfixes from UB, Oversight, and so on into the FixPack? If Imoen had entirely consistent experience, then I would say that it is even more of a bug. When Imoen is taken by the Cowled Wizards at the start of Chapter 2, she will be around level 8 or so. When the player finds her in Chapter 4, the average party level is somewhere around level 12-14. If Imoen is only level 8, the player would not want her back. The loss of spells may be a bug, but it could also be ascribed to the mental rape that Imoen faced in the Asylum. Link to comment

We can keep the level gain if that's the decision we reach. The loss of spells may be a bug, but it could also be ascribed to the mental rape that Imoen faced in the Asylum. I'll gladly file this alongside Irenicus using a Wish in the Underdark and leather chains. I don't think there's any need to desparately try and explain away what's clearly a developer oversight.

NiGHTMARE Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Umm, those spells are scribed in her spellbook, so how would mental rape in anyway affect that? Link to comment
icelus Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Irenicus raped her spellbook, too. Link to comment
Kish Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 No one is proposing reducing Imoen's XP at Spellhold, are they? Link to comment
SimDing0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 No, I think that's definitely stretching the definition of a fix since somebody at Bioware obviously made the conscious decision to give Spellhold Imoen more XP than she could have acquired in Irenicus' Dungeon. Link to comment
Grim Squeaker Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 When it comes to exp I think its either the choice of: 1) Do nothing 2) Add a flat amount 3) Bring her up to a certain amount, if she hadn't got it already (ala start of ToB) Link to comment
Caedwyr Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Spellhold Imoen having more experience than Chateau Irenicus Imoen makes sense to me. She definately has had many experiences since that point in time, many of which could justifiably provide xp. Imoen losing spells would only make sense if she lost all her spells (lost her spell book entirely and needed a new one). Otherwise, if she is using the same spellbook then it should contain the same spells. Losing spell due to mental rape would only be possible for a sorcerer, and even then it could be argued against.

Changing that would not be a bugfix. So, your Option 1, if I'm reading you correctly. Link to comment
Grim Squeaker Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 Yes, thats it if we aren't doing a consistant Imoen. If we are having a consistant Imoen then you'd want 3 I imagine... Link to comment
