The Balduran Items - Please Help

Btw, I could find all of his items in shadowkeeper, but not his golden sword. Is it that one that just says that it is "ornate but poorly balanced"? I think it could be because some items are changed from BG1, like that +3 2hand sword, it turns into harbinger.

Originally posted by Artemis: Thanks for the responses folks. I have a question about the bonus merchant items that can be downloaded....is it true that if you are already into a game and download the bonus merchants, that they will not appear? But if you download them and then start a fresh game, they will be in the game? My understanding is that the first time you enter the "shops" the game checks the game files, where you have downloaded the bonus merchants, and ergo they would appear. But after that first time into the shop, the game checks your saved game files and doesn't see the new merchants, just the merchants and items that were there last time you were in the shop. Is this correct? (sorry for the convoluted description ) If this is all true above, my primary game which I'm close to finishing will not benefit, but my new game (evil monk) will. What are the good monk items, if any, out of the bonus merchant stuff? Much thanks...

Artemis, you kinda lost me there but anyway, the bonus items are already in the game. You just need the 2 merchant files. Doesn't matter what stage of the game you are at, there's a folder in BG2 called Override where you put these merchant files (along with any other edited files that you want to use. So you can put in Joluv and Dierdre's files in your override and you can access the items.

Thanks Memnoch and Melusine for the clarification on the bonus items. Don't know how I got under that misperception in the first place!
