The one thing about ToB that really annoys me is that you can't return to the original
BG2 areas once you've started it - really annoying if there are some quests you missed,
some items you stored in your stronghold, or some things you want to buy from an original
BG2/SoA merchant. This gave me an idea for a custom item (somewhat inspired by the Portal
Gem in the Modron Maze in Planescape:Torment) which would get around this problem - a Gem
of Teleportation (or a ring, or amulet, or whatever), which, when used (it'd have a Dialogue
option, like the Lilarcor sword) would bring up a dialogue allowing you to select any of the
"world map" locations in SoA. Your party would then be moved to the location you select.
This is perfectly possible to do (items can have dialogues, and dialogue entries can contain instructions
to move your party to an area) and would probably be easy for an experienced item designer, however I have
NO item-creation skills whatsoever.
Does anyone else agree that this would be a good custom item to create? Would anyone be interested
in creating it?
