Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition by KowalLazy in  

18 char on a thief is a given. but a thief is still simple. try rolling a paladin THAT´S the nightmare. 18/90 min strength (that takes hours alone!) 18 con 18 dex and the obligatory 18 charisma. Man that´s a bummer. i love my paladins burt as i don´t start them until they are OP as fuck i´m literally rolling for hours. or worse Cleric/mage. man THEY are bummers. Let´s just go for the stats that are not debatable Wis,int and dex need to be 18. con needs to be 16 (more is useless for nonfighter classes) that leaves strength and charisma for variation. i don´t give a flying fuck about char i get the ring from the circus anyway. but 12 strength are still nice to have, just so that my character doesn´t collapse under the weight of his own robe. (in combat strength easily goes beyond twenty after level 3/3 because Strength and draw upon holy might. these two spells with a decent sling kill dragons, but i don´t want to crawl out of combat until i found a decent strength item) so a thief is still good to roll. And for rollplaying terms Thieves need 18 int too^^

Best rolls I ever have is 95 total points. I don't know if you can go over it (basically is it more than 18 on 5 stats...). So with that you are just a god, figure of speech of course, as you can easily die no matter the stat you have, (even with 25 at every stats it is still hard if you play casual).

It's possible to be over 95. I did it once, on a bard. I can't remember the exact number, but it was over 100. I think it was 102. It is really weird to see the usual 2 digits pattern break. You know the best part ? This character didn't even finished BG1. It was great but... I just hadn't time to play him back then. And when I go back to BG I went to start from scratch. So he is just a character file now, even though he is by far my best rolled char. However, I do think there is a minimum roll. I have never seen a total roll under 70, that's for sure. And it should definitely happen.

Roll points are between 75 and 108 (18*6) Fun fact : even if some races/classes can have 19, there is no way (unless you patch that) to really have max roll everywhere, you will always miss 1 point. :-) And for information there is a EE Autoroller tools that will simulate a click on "reroll" until you get what you want. Now when I create a char I just cheat and put 95 points as it is the max score I ever use (so not really a cheat as it can happens in game) even if you can put 18 everywhere.

I got 99 in my last character rerolling about 2 minutes or less. Never imaniged I could get that high that fast.

*slow clap*

Can confirm

my friend was chaotic evil vampire and ended up eating all of us.... he is an idiot.

TheitaniofRome YOU MEAN HES A GENIUS!!!!! 😂😂😂😂

give it a shot and do play with party. solo runs are addicting once you know the gamebut it takes much of the game cause the characters are so well designed. like every character has his own personality. it´s one of the best rpgs ever

@@Diotialate and the full game (without throne of Bhaal!) was 4 discs. BG1 was even 6 Discs. and yeah you can literally play the game for years and haven´t seen it all.

glitches

Me too, I was baffled throughout his speedrun

Snark Marx Work, work!

Oh hey, didn't expect to see you here.

It does include ToB. However, I have yet to see speedruns of that. If I had to make a gues, I would think that a lot of the... techniques used here do not work on the final enemies in ToB (since they are immune to timestop) and casting a bunch of lv 9 scrolls is not quite as powerful as it is in SoA, so it is way harder to get through with just one character. I have done (non-speedrun) single character playthroughs of ToB (non-EE version) and know that getting past the ravager and the final boss was a bloddy mess as a sorcerer that had lots of levels and equipment. I know people made even more difficult playthroughs where they basically had to throw away all equipment they found to really test the limits. So (at least for the non-EE) doing a single character run with similar ideas that you would use in a speedrun is possible, but not sure how "fast" it would be.

The old Black Isle games are a bit outdated to new players, but Icewind dale is a good game, Though Icewind dale 2 is more interessting imo. Icewind Dale has a kinda buggy story and not as high level as you might want. Still Trial of the luremaster and Heart of winter were good additions. If you want the best game, then Baldurs Gate 2 Throne of Bhaal is the best Black Isle game. Amazing story. And also contain the Watchers keep. Best dungeon level I have ever played,

Bug Collecting?

In blue it is Brossentia (I hope I write his nickname right), he is dressed like in the game "Tintin in Tibet" (he ran this one in this AGDQ).

Casually they're the best, but I saw Clairvoyance scrolls used a few times which is a spell Conjurers can't cast. There's no enchantments used, though, so Invoker gets you the bonus spell slots at no cost.

Except that without cheating it is almost impossible, perhaps you have a chance if you prepare yourself at the end of the game with max level, etc.

its not really that hard in mid game(on normal/core rules) it imprisoned one of the pt, and cast 2 or 3 spells to do some dmg after that every1 went all out and killed it they might have nerfed it in EE, and i never seen more than 1 "super mage"

EikichiOnizuka cheating? lol, i killed them almost at the beginning so i can cast spells whatever i want, it's not that hard...

vxyc xycyxadq I didn't know there was a thing like that, thanks for the info

You can after patches, but this was run in the release copy of the game before that feature was added. A large number of the glitches that make this run possible are patched out in the same updates that add cutscene skipping, unfortunately.

wasn't possible till patch

What patch? I've been esc skipping since EE came out.

no you haven't lol it wasn't possible until very recently

Your definition of very recently must be very different than mine, this was possible at least since SoD, maybe even EE.

Oh really? Then why, in the patchnotes of 2.3, a patch that game out quite some years after EE released, does it say 'can skip cutscenes as of 2.0'?

Yes, I prefer speedruns that are played on the latest version of the product. I hate speedruns that seek out the version that is most optimal for beating the game as fast as possible (unless that happens to be the latest version).

Almost all PC game are specific version unless the run is a "glichless" one. And on a glichless run it means that every patch can change the way the speedrun must be done, so there is no longer reference. I prefer glitched run because every speedrunner has the same version and can do the same things if they want. And the category "glichless" is almost never done as it is not fun at all to just see a guy playing like you do except for some specific games that require real talent. For example, what's the point of looking at a 4 hours of Final Fantasy ? If you know the game it is just boring, and if you do not know it, well, it is 4 hours of just watching a guy play a game... you better play it yourself in that case, it is more interesting, don't you thing ?

I'd rather watch a player play the game well and have something for me to strive for to match than to watch a player break a game beyond comprehension or exploit specific bugs in specific versions of the product and be treated like a god for it. ie: I prefer speedruns where the player adheres to the way the developers intended the game to be played, which game patches often try to reinforce by fixing bugs.

I see what you mean, but it is a marathon, so the aim is to go as fast as you can. And I don't think there is speedrun of BG without bugs... Otherwise you can watch "lest's play" video. :-)

Nichlas Nielsen I think the enhanced edition projects your active weapon on top of the portrait. The toothy thing is actually the mind flayer's mouth, sucking brains out of its victim.

That's Brossentia

He ran Tintin in Tibet (and perhaps some others ?). This is why he is dressed like that by the way (look at the speedrun).

yeah, pretty annoying.
