patches and Item idea

The Lilarcor · 04-14-2003, 09:55 PM

I currently don't own a baldurs gate version, just borrowing one, but around the end of the month I may be buying the collectors edition, so I want to know what all the patches and such does. Thanks.

Also, if one took a stake, one that you use to kill vampires, if you adjusted its physical appearance to fit crossbows, couldn't you shoot Vampires with Stake bolts, where a 20 would be an automatic death both physical and spiritual? (As when you would normaly stake a defeated vampire)

Are you asking about creating weapons and such? if so, you cant do that. you could prob make special ammo that looks like stakes.. but i dont think you could do it your way.

you mean you couldn't take a stake, fit it onto a crossbow and shoot undead with it?

If you only changed the appearence of the stake, then yes I think it would still work.

Oh... well then no. You'd have to mess around with WeiDU programs if you'd want to make something like that. But firing stakes normally? No.

Thats the sort of thing you can do in PnP. In BG2, you have to edit files. Plus instakill on a vampire is too powerful for game balance. These things are supposed to be tough.

On the patches, anyone who runs with anything less than the official patch and the baldurdash fixpack is just asking for trouble. Both fix lots of things.

Creating a bolt with the BAM file of a stake is easy, let the vamp make a save vs death at a -2 penalty when succsefully hit.. and you got yourself an great vampire slaying bolt.

Right know I don't have time to create it, but 2-night I may have some time... if you wish?

The Lilarcor · 04-16-2003, 05:31 PM

sure.

Annatar · 04-16-2003, 05:55 PM

First of all, make a history for it (a item without a history... isn't a real item).. I will try to create it 2-night, though I can't promise anything because its now like 23:55, almost midnight here.

I'll load it up to my site tomorrow when its finished, I'll post the link here.

If you think about it, it wont be that hard.

Use IEEP to make a bolt with insta kill for vamps, and make the appearnce that of a stake. pretty good, though a majorly cheap weapon [img]smile.gif[/img]
