2 years ago I did my Bg2 speedrun and posted it here in /t/. It was popular enough for me to do it again for my new and oh so awesome Throne of Bhaal speedrun. enjoy.

Hooray, you beat a game quickly. I'll now go spend a few hours downloading it just so I can be astounded at your immortal skill in beating a game no one cares about anymore.

WELL HELLO, MR. TROLL, AND FUCK YOU.

Baldur's Gate is still more interesting than 99.9% of the games released after it.

Does anyone know where I can get the black dragon's battle song from BGII? Honestly it's been years of searching and I cannot find that song AT ALL! I will be severely grateful if someone could do that for me. I know /r/ is <thataway, but this thread put me in the mood for some of that battle music again. Plus anyone who may have it would probably glance at this thread.

It doesn't have it... like all the rest... You know the battle I'm talking about, right? The 'optional' black dragon in the circular room that you can just walk by if you want? It's a really heavy song althroughout, choir never seems to stop. It's the best damn song in the soundtrack and it's not even on the goddamn soundtrack. Anyone capable of ripping the music?

Baldur's Gate II is one of the most re-playable games ever. I'm still waiting for the Imoen Romance ToB mod myself. Should get released within the next 5 years, probably...

Damn, this reminds of back when I used to play BG2 every waking moment.

If only they sold the English language versions here, I'd buy it in a heartbeat just to play it all over again.

Ive still got my copies of one and two, ive even got two in the original case. There was a bit of a mishap with the first's case but luckily the discs were fine.

/Would Baldur's Gate count as abandonware yet? With Interplay dead and Black Isle closed I didnt think anyone still published it..

Aaah BG2, one of the best rpgs ever made, a bit linear at times but at least less than BG1.

Ruuun Boooo ruuuuuun
Go for the eyes Booo GO FOR THE EYES Aaarrrrrh!!

PS:T makes my eyes bleed and my fingers twisted - still waiting for someone to port it to the BG engine.

BG2 is one of the most epic games ever made. I think the only class I haven't done a complete solo-run with is a thief.

I must install it again.

I've always meant to, but never bought Baldur's Gate or the second installment. Or Icewind (One word?) Dale.

Well, bump for some awesomeness

I recently bought Baldurs gate package, but sadly didn't really get into it again.

Somehow choosing a none-mage seems very slow at advancing. You don't magically get a new weapon each time you level up.

First one though, I instantly dumped again. I just don't find the fun in having 10 HP, take 4 damage and then have to find an inn again.

Yeah the resting gets a bit boring some times and I suppose its harder for "new" people to get into a game like this when youre used to almost orgasmic looking graphics in computer games. My eyes hurt last time I played the game (the first), altho the BG2 port version helped a bit, just didnt seem to work in multiplayer back then.
But for people thinking of trying the saga for the first time, I can only say give it a chance :)

There is a mod for BG1 on BG2's engine? Not that I could see how it would remedy my problem with low HP.

Yeah, there is. Can't remember the name off the top of my head but you should be able to find some trace of it at: http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/BG2/index.php

Yeah, it's called "TuTu" for some reason.

>>168962

Oh yes, planescape torment excels in chars, plots, music, story and so on, but lacks gameplay - where BG delivers. Both games are <3333 though. :)

>>169003

Yes, because you actually take realistic damage. An arrow in the chest isn't something you just "meh" to and go on, like in most modern games. If you're hit, you're wounded, and everyone can get a lucky strike and hit you in the head, and you're dead etc. :)

Makes me happy to see that there are more people still playing it, I'm currently soloing through SoA+ToB on insane with a sorcerer. Yeah, kinda easymode since sorc is overpowered, but everything except eclipse party is easymode nowadays. :P

It's a dumb video tough... seem like the guy is showing off when he's fighting the easiest dragon of the game with a TOB enhanced overpowered kensai mage.
>> Anonymous
I wonder if it's just me, but I enjoyed SoA more than ToB. Of course, having the experience cap raised was welcome, however I preferred the city-roaming of SoA, while ToB seemed more of a dungeon crawl to me.

of course I still fapped, etc

i loved this game, if u have not played it go buy it...now!

The video wasn't really what I meant. Although it's ironic that the guy showing off by starting this thread chastises that guy for not showing off as well as him ^^

Any ideas about the song?

Converter for the music files. Go convert them all and find the ones you like. No I don't know what music you're talking about and this is all the help you'll get from me.

The main problem with TOB was that there really wasn't any development for your NPCs. The storyline focused totally on the PC, and that was it really. Still great fun, just not as interesting. Minsc is probably the most memorable RPG character of all time. I still remember his BG1 leader quote. "Magic is impressive...but now Minsc leads! Swords for everyone!"

heh, I think I actually liked the first Baldur's gate over SoA or ToB (tho I'm still going through ToB)

Hey Damurdoc did you submit this run to SDA? Just want to know so I know where I can find it in the future once this thread and the torrent eventually dies.

If you want to freshen up the experience and you find it all a bit easy nowadays, a bit of imposed realism can help. Play a game with no reloading allowed, and no tactics which rely on 'reload knowledge', ie. your characters knowing what's going to happen beforehand.

Hm... Are we talking full group, partial, or alone? I wandered in there and kicked ass. I mostly did that throughout the first dungeon actually. The only time that tactic failed me was in the optional vampire fight later that dungeon. Lol, ranger main for the win :D. Damn he kicked some serious ass. Its too bad you cant gank drizzt and his group, i wanted twinkle for whatshername the druid.

I beat that soloing.

Yes, there was a whole shitload of S/L involved.

You want TRUE craziness, try this:

Solo Insane Poverty:

Solo: don't accept anyone in your party. Kick everyone out at the start.

Insane: difficulty slider stays at insane.

Poverty: no gold except enough to advance the plot. no items except plot items (which may not be used for anything except plot). No scrolls either.

>>169973

here's how you beat him on the cheap:

1. save beforehand.
2. make sure you have at least one charm person or the like ready.
