Value (not a question)

Brainless One · 10-14-2002, 08:21 PM

First off, I'd like to say hi to everybody because i was gone for a long time and.... whatever nobody cares. Anyway, has anyone noticed how in BG you were always scrounging around for GP, only to use it up raising people from the dead?In Baldur's Gate 2, you quickly are overflowing with money you'll never use. Months go by saving up money for a +1 dagger, and in the sequel, I found a +2 halberd on a pathetic guard with chainmail, and i sold it because it had no use.

Also mages sucked in BG, and in BG2 they are nearly invincible, also shown by the change of bosses in them (Sarevok=fighter to Irenicus=mage)

Has anyone else noticed things that changed value-wise? If so, speak up.

The mage/fighter thing gets a little more balanced in ToB.

It seems like some of the best weapons should be things like daggers and short swords (more people using them.) But they're totally nerfed!

Looks like i'll have to get TOB then. Also halberds look really powerful, but they are used only by gnolls, and thats a sign of weakness already. (:

Pfaw, there are two wicked halbereds in ToB/SoA

Brainless One · 10-14-2002, 08:56 PM

Yeah, they are pretty cool, but worth a game of wasted proficiency? No, I'd rather just put it in some sort of sword, and replace one kick-ass weapon with another as i go along. (Hint, Hint Carsomyr......)
