Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?
zerofk@lemmy.zip 4 weeks agoIt’s great - I love both cRPGs and the Forgotten Realms (ever since the days of Eye of the Beholder and the gold box series). But it’s also a bit too much sometimes. You’ll be doing a quest, and you’re approached by an NPC starting a different quest while party members are nagging to do theirs first and as you’re standing there trying to decide what to do first, a group attacks you for yet another quest.
I’m exaggerating a bit, but I really had a moment where two events happened at the same time, while I was on another quest.

It can be a bit like that, for sure! It’s one of the spots where it shows its age I think, it was really the first western CRPG with these types of companion missions and I don’t think they had all the scripting and timings nailed down just yet.
Are you using any mods? And what’s your party composition?

No mods, but enhanced edition.
At some point in BG1 I noticed my party was all women, and I decided to make that part of my character’s personality: she will work with men too but given the choice prefers adventuring with women. So now in BG2 she’s doing that too. I have Jaheira, Hexxat, Mazzy, Neera, and Aerie. Main character is a sorcerer.
In BG1 I also said no lawful companions, and no evil, but that’s not possible now while staying all female.

Oh damn, we’ve been over this already have we not? I really suck at remembering usernames 😔
Yeah you probably need one evil lady to fill out the roster. I guess Hexxat vs Viconia is personal preference, I’m personally not a huge fan of the Beamdog companions.

Haha I remember saying this once already, but also didn’t remember who asked last time :-D
