Technical question

wellard · 04-28-2003, 11:34 PM

1)We all love playing BG but the #1 piss me off thing is the voices. How do I get rid of the voices but still keep the ambiant *background noises* stuff like footsteps and rain and music?

2) I'm playing with the latest patch from Black isle. I thought it came with the bonus merchant at the CC (i had him last time but after a reformatt and redownload he is missing)but I can not find him. Nor is he outside the cornet. Where for art though? [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img] or is it just a WieDU mod?

1. Go to options and put down the Voice Volume or go to Character Sounds and change when characters speak.

2. Download both bonus merchants from here. And if Joluv (in the Copper Coronet) still isnt there, must be a bug or something

The extra merchant in adventures wal-mart is there. The lady upstairs.

Try Baldurdash's patch to get the additional shopkeepers.

Trivia of the day:
------------------

The phrase 'Wherefore art thou' is one of Shakespeare's most commonly mis-quoted lines. Most think that it means 'Where are you', but in fact it means 'Why are you'. So Juliet is not trying to find Romeo, she is asking why he is Romeo. (Referring to the hatred her family has for his, and asking why he had to be a Montague)

Cheers, pcgiant.

The Adventure Mart merchant (Deidre) was the Collector's Edition CD bonus merchant, and Bioware decided to put her appearance into the official Throne of Bhaal patch (perhaps as an incentive for patch-wary players to install the patch, as they should.)

The Copper Coronet merchant (Joluv) was only obtainable without the "tweak" by pre-ordering BG2 before it was released, so he's the "pre-order CD" bonus merchant.

So you can still find Deidre without the tweak... note that I use "tweak" instead of "cheat" because they are legitimate game files and if you preordered the Collector's Edition you would have both the merchants anyways, and you do regardless: their items and the merchants themselves are in all installs of BG2; the only change was a tiny bit of scripting code in the CC and Adv. Mart areas to cause the merchants to appear.

As far as I know, ToB adds both Joluv and Deirdre, but Joluv isn't created, they forgot to put him into script.
He can be created with console, though.
