Two part Question. Need help!

[Hawkins]

Firt part has to do with the game cheats. When I get into the game and press [Ctrl]+[Tab] nothing happens any idea why? The second part has to do with a topic I heard you guys talking about. What do the golden pantaloons and Drizzit have to do w/BGII?

[Dace De'Briago]

I thought you needed to press control and the space bar to activate cheats? I've never really been big on cheating so I'm probably wrong

With regards to the pantaloons, they are one of the few items you can take through to BG2. Eventually you will be able to combine these with an item you may find in SoA and another in ToB to form a suit of magical armour.

Drizzt is a dark elf who you meet in BG1, and who also puts in an appearence in BG2.

I think the spacebar combination works for BG2 only, and in BG1 you need to press Ctrl + Tab.
Maybe this is too obvious, but Hawkins, you did enter the line "Cheats=1" into the right place in your Baldur.ini file, right?

I enterd Cheat=1 under game options yes. I normally dont cheat either but I am playing a game through with a friend and needless to say we are fighting over who gets the tomes. That is the only reason I am trying to use the cheat. I have beaten the game befor with out them with different charecters, but the two we are playing with now are going to be carried over to the second game. Does the fact wether or not you are nice to Drizzit or if you kill him matter in BGII? Is he the one who is about to be burned at the stake? Or is that a different char. Havent played BGII in a while.

I can never remember the exact placement of the commands, so I go for the overkill method:
Add the lines "Cheats=1" and "Debug Mode=1" (yes, spelling is very important) under the lines "Game Options" and "Program Options."

I normally dont cheat either but I am playing a game through with a friend and needless to say we are fighting over who gets the tomes.

Hmmm.....as a suggestion, why not ask an impartial arbiter (one of us, for instance) to decide who gets which Tomes? Tell us what classes your characters are, what you plan to Dual-class to and when (if applicable), and your stats at the start of the game, and we'll divvy up the Tomes for you in the most profitable way.

Does the fact wether or not you are nice to Drizzit or if you kill him matter in BGII?

Maybe. Why don't you roleplay and see for yourself?

[Hawkins]

Yes I know exatally where your comming from, and we both are planing to dual class. The problem is the stats we originally start out with are in anticipation of receving the tomes. For example , Dex at 15 /getting bonus' at 16 , Wis at 14 / getting bonus' at 15 / Cha at 12 / receving reaction bonus at 13. So on and so on. Thats why I figured we would try to take the easy way out. I know I know cheating sucks but I find this situation to be semi-acceptiable.

[Illumina Drathiran'ar]

But not really... It's common sense. You each get three tomes, and, depending on the class, you probably only *need* two each. I like Six's idea... Give us classes and maybe we can help you out.

[Mellagar]

I say fight over the tomes. The one left standing gets to have the spoils. Or do paper, scissors, rocks.

[Melusine]

Awww, let the poor blokes have those tomes already.

Have you tried Six's suggestions Hawkins?
If they didn't work, you could download Gatekeeper, it's a really easy to use editor for BG1 save games and characters. Using GK you could manually insert the Tomes into your character's inventory. Only if you promise these nice people that you won't use it to cheat on any of the other items, of course.

[Xen]

Why don`t you two just throw a coin for the Tomes? If it tails you get it if not he gets it.
