Completed Let's solo Baldur's Gate 2 on Insane (feat. The Codex)

[Erebus]

Main quest


Level 3 of WK wouldn't be easy to clear for our hero : many of its fights are fairly challenging and the anti-magic areas (that don't even prevent demons from using their powers, if I remember correctly) are a pain in the ass.


As far as weapons are concerned, I believe there's a fairly decent spear to be found in the sahuagin city. There are some decent halberds here and there, such as Dragon's Breath in the Underdark. Nothing that rivals with Carsomyr, though.

Korgan's Quest!

I'm still not sure why a combination of fire resistance scroll and ring gave us 127% fire resistance in the previous update. Shouldn't it have been 90% (50+40)?

The armor crafted from the red dragon scales I presume.

 

[T(D?)-Bag]

My vote for Korgan's quest next, and the codex won't get any special abilities until levels after about 2,9 million xp and since ToB has a level cap of 8 million, that makes about 2,7 million xp for every class the codex has, I don't know if any of the mods used in this LP raise the experience cap, but I would like to see it raised to at least 24 million xp for a more interesting LP and a better chance of soloing ToB later.

Gimme teh Illithids!

I can't remember if epic level abilities start at level 20 or 21. If it's the former, we might get one pretty soon.

IIRC you get epic level abilities at the first level up after hitting the 3 million XP mark for a class. Since the ToB XP cap is 8 million, I don't think a F/M/T will ever get epic level abilities unless you get rid of the cap.

Also, WK3, of course.

 

[MicoSelva]

Are You sure about that? I distinctly remember it was around level 20 when I've last played ToB (which was probably around 10 years ago). Maybe the mods change something here.
And yeah, I modded the level cap out, so The Codex will become as broken as I am able to make him.

 

[Bilgefar]

http://www.planetbaldursgate.com/bg2/character/highlevel/ - The level each class gets HLAs. 20 for fighter, 24 for thief, 18 for mage.
http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/BG2/xp_tables.php - Amount of XP needed for each level in a class. All those are right around 3 million.

 

[MicoSelva]

That explains why I remember it being around level 20.

EDIT:
Updates should resume after 8th of December.

 

[Sodafish]

Too much WK and the Codex will be too overpowered for the regular shit.

I'll vote for Illithids this time.

 

[Baron Dupek]

8th December is my birthday. Awww.....

Sorry for much sugat but I couldn't resist....

 

[Johannes]

You get HLAs when you reach 3 mil xp total, not 3 mil in a single class.

 

[Aeschylus]

You get HLAs when you reach 3 mil xp total, not 3 mil in a single class.

Er, I don't think so. The Codex already has >6m total. I think there's a tweak that changes it, but I never used it.

 

[Thor Kaufman]

What Johannes said should be right, you can easily check it by using the console to cheat the necessary exp.
Afaik you can't get more than two points in weapon proficiency as multiclass, though.

 

[MicoSelva]

I can, due to mods.

 

[Abelian]

On a related, note did you install the True Grandmastery mod that makes grandmaster proficiency level powerful as in BG1?

In IWD, BG and AD&D guidelines, going from four to five proficiency points in a weapon reduces THAC0 by one, adds one to damage rolls, and gives an extra attack per round to 5/2. In BG2, it only adds one to damage. Rather takes the "Grand" out of "Grandmastery" I think. Install this patch to restore Grandmastery to what it was.

 

[MicoSelva]

To be honest, I have no idea.

My WeiDU.log.

To be honest, I have no idea.

My WeiDU.log.

It looks like got it installed:

~BG2_TWEAKS/SETUP-BG2_TWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #2200 // Multi-Class Grandmastery (Weimer): v9
~BG2_TWEAKS/SETUP-BG2_TWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #2210 // True Grandmastery (Baldurdash): v9

Also, I've noticed this :

Keep Drizzt's Loot, Disable Malchor Harpell: v9

 

[MicoSelva]

Keep Drizzt's Loot, Disable Malchor Harpell: v9

What's that?

 

[Storyfag]

Keep Drizzt's Loot, Disable Malchor Harpell: v9

What's that?

The original BG2 had a retarded NPC spawn a few days after you've killed Drizzt and steal back his scimitars and mail., ie: remove them from your inventory. I believe you've disabled it.

 

[MicoSelva]

Cool. I might keep his chainmail then. We'll see.
