Ending SoA/starting ToB

Shadowlord · 10-13-2001, 06:48 AM

I'm currently playing BG2:ToB for the first time on a computer that does not have sound. This hasn't caused any major problems until I reached the end movie of SoA. I have no idea who those hooded figures are around the table or what they are saying, can someone please fill me in? Also the same problem for start of ToB - what is the voiceover saying during the start movie? Thanks for any help.

its really irrelevant, you can pick up on it from the text when you first start the game. or at least, it was irrelevant to me...

------------------
It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

What are you saying? Are you trying to tell me you have feelings now? Ha, ha, ha... Stop acting as if you're sad. And there's no need to act as if you're angry either. Because, Cloud, you are... a puppet.

Yeah, I thought I would be able to do that but then I woke up in the Elven city, Ellesmie thanked me, gave me an amulet then suddenly three of my characters (my three tanks) were somewhere else and my main character (mage),cleric and archer were getting their asses kicked by (I think) a Bhaalspawn and her party. Where are my other guys? how do I rejoin my party? who were those hooded guys and what were they saying?

Sorry about all the questions but this is pretty confusing....

Bahamut · 10-13-2001, 09:53 AM

It was just some peeps saying you are becoming a threat and you must be eliminated or lest the 'prophecy' will not ring true... that is Bhaal walking this earth again.

And man!!! You are to miss a lot! ToB has the finest sounds of the BG series! It will make you hyper and on your toes... seriously

hey shadowlord. i just finished SoA as well. Basically the end movie with the guys at the table was about how Gorions ward, thats you, is still alive and gaining power... but that none of this matters still, as they believe your fate to be sealed already.

as for your missing characters, i'm not too sure. Where they destroyed in the final battle with Irenicus? I had two people die during the battle, but not destroyed. The fortunate thing is that they were brought back to life when i was. The unfortunate thing is that they didn't have any of their equipment anymore!

That ticked me off, so i used Shadowkeeper to give the two dead characters items back.

Spoilers....maybe

after you defeat that Bhallspawn in the forest, you are teleported to a pocket plane. here you supposedly can summon old friends to rejoin your party. I havn't tried this, but i did welcome a certain half-brother into my party.

Ok, thanks for the info - my three fighters are in a grassy clearing kinda like where you fought the Black Dragon in Sudanesslar. There are some statues with glowing eyes which I can talk to but when I try they have nothing more to say.... I must have accidentally clicked on one and missed the message. All of my guys were alive at the end. It doesn't really matter anymore because I just found out I'll have to do the end of SoA again. I chose to let my companion die instead of lose a stat point which has turned my alignment from Lawful Good to Neutral Evil. Next time I'll have to pay more attention!!

Also is the confrontation with the Bhallspawn supposed to take place in the forest? Half of my party was in a forest but she attacked the other half who were still in the elven building..is this supposed to be in the forest?

About the no sound- yeah it sucks, but the computer I usually play on won't let me reinstall so I have to play on my Brothers computer which has no sound. Does anyone know what to do after you've tried all of Interplay's suggestions and it still won't work?

dulouz · 10-13-2001, 08:57 PM

Hmm, i chose to save my friend. Yet somewhere along the line my alignment went bad.

Shadowlord,

the party splitting problem was addressed in the TOB version 26498 patch.

re the sound problem, if you're running WIN9x, check in the system listing (in control panel)to see if the sound card is not working due to confilcts.

otherwise you could go into multimedia (also in control panel) and see what sort of sound card settings are available - if there's an option to choose a SB16 emulator try selecting that one.

I had sound problems in SOA after installing TOB as well, i lost all music in the ingame cutscenes wich is very annoying.

That happened to me withe the team getting split up. It seems part of your team get left in the elven city and half go to that sacred place. just press ctrl-X (or whatever) to find the name of the sacred place area, the use CLUAConsole:MoveToArea("insert here") to teleport them there.

Hope it works
