ok, compared to this battle, Bodhi's like a piece of cake.
it took me several tries to beat it, cannot really feel the difference between v16 and v17 since the last time I cheesed myself out with a win [img]tongue.gif[/img] This time, a straight fight, and I finally beat it without losing any of the comrades in the party (though my PC gets fatigue facing the Shattered One because of chasing that DD Irenicus

anyone has tip to make him steady????).
anyway, there are two MAJOR signs of bugs. I would need someone who also plays Tactics v17 to confirm, but here are the bugs I found:
1. I thought the mod shouldn't affect the tears of Bhaal part? In the selfish test, Aerie got held. After she's released, I couldn't access her ability button, thpough it said in the character screen that her contigency and sequencer were on. The ability button just went dark brown (not the light blue, ready to use color). Is this a known bug? or it's supposed to be that way? the one gets held loses his/her ability? That doesn't sound right. Worse, it carries over to ToB! Imagine if it's fighters get held, they won't be able to use their HLAs
2. in response to Six review, it's said that the "curse you
" has been put back, but after I killed the Shattered One, Irenicus wasn't even in the post-battle animation (it shows my PC shoots magic to the ground), no Irenicus, no speech, no curse my PC.
In this game, I have Tactics v17, NPC flirt pack, and the ToB imp. battles and Ascension installed. They should all be compabitable AFAIK.
Maybe they are bugs, and so those who want to try out, beware; maybe they are not bugs, it's just something screwed up in my installation.
