First of all, what are the patches in SoA for? I have not installed any of them and my game still runs fine. Also, when am I supposed to install the ToB expansion? I'm in chapter 7 currently, and I'm not sure if I was supposed to have already installed ToB or not.

To see what the patches do, look for the readme file that'll be placed after the installation in your main BG2-directory, with cryptical, confusing names like "BG2PatchReadMe.txt". They mostly fix minor bugs, though.

About ToB, install it right away. If you don't, then you won't be able to continue after the SoA main boss.
But then again, if you install ToB, there's no need for yo to get the SoA-patch. Get the ToB-one instead, along with the Fixpack from Baldurdash. Go to the FAQ for details. |

Thanks. I might as well install it today or tomorrow. Can I still access Watcher's Keep even though I'm at chapter 7? IIRC, I read somewhere that you can access it at Chapters 4 and 6.

I have another question about Watcher's Keep. I have defeated Irenicus and I am going to move on to ToB. Can I access Watcher's Keep in ToB also, or is it just accessable in SoA (I don't really understand how installing the expansion works, and by that, i don't mean the actually installation of it, I mean how does it affect SoA?)

I hate to be a stick in the mud, but before anyone else gives away any more ToB information, please remember that this is the SoA forum. [img]smile.gif[/img]

It raises the experience cap in SoA. You don't have to be in ToB areas to receive XP above 2900000 (as I thought while I was playing it for the first time ). There is a new mage class, the Wild Mage. Refer to ToB forum for that, there is an ongoing topic. Some minor changes as: cleric/mage has an icon to change between two spell lists; enabled erasing spells from the spellbook; Mirror Image images are grouped, not lined; Aganazzar Scorcher hurts everyone in the jet, not only the target; ...

Thanks. I was aware of all of those changes except when/which game can access Watcher's Keep. That helped clear things up [img]smile.gif[/img]
