1.Does that Acid Kensai dude come with this or the Darkest Day?

The 'Acid Kensai' comes with this [img]smile.gif[/img]

2.Is it really VERY hard? I was planning on playing my BG1 Character through solo, but i havent decided yet. Is it easier solo or with a party?

It can be hard, but if you've played through SoA a couple of times you wont struggle too much. It does REALLY improve mages and general AI though, so you can't abuse bugs too much. All in all, I love it.

However, my character is a fighter, and yoshimo is a thief.

I didn't cast that command spell, so why the hell were THEY affected?

Cloak of cheese, maybe?

Yup, in the tactics mod quite a few bandit-fights are gonna start with Greater Command. Pretty stupid if you ask me, since it's not that uncommon for most bandits to fail their save ...

daan · 02-27-2003, 09:21 AM

They are affected because Greater Command affects everybody
(in a certain radius)

Dace De'Briago · 02-27-2003, 09:26 AM

lol. That is pretty stupid.

It really confused the hell out of me... I'm attacked by a group of bandits who promptly render themselves unconcious and ergo, dead.

Nice spell that [img]smile.gif[/img] Bet it took some careful thought on the part of the Tactics mob [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Just look at his equipment! Do you really think that he is in chapter 6?

Dace De'Briago · 02-27-2003, 09:39 AM

lol.

No cloak of cheese [img]smile.gif[/img] Nothing that could possibly reflect a spell. No resistances to magic. Nada.

The thing that threw me was that the spell affected the bandits themselves, most spells that are cast ignore party members. I guess they were just unlucky [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, they have lousy saves, and they cast spells they don't understand.
A mistake of programmers of Tactic mod, to use that spell, but a mistake of Bioware as well, because it is weird that the caster cannot control who is the recipient or even command herself.

Greater Command is what makes a solo Cleric GO! With everybody playing the Jim Jones "I drank the koolaid" game, the mighty Cleric can move in and smash skull.

It's a brutally effective tactic.
