Ascension - I'm impressed (some spoilers)

[Faceman]

+Well, I gotta be stupid or something because only when I talked to Balthazar I figured out that BGT actually has Ascension in it.
My 2c on the whole thing:
+ Demogorgon - didn't fight him because I'm good alignment
+ Illasera - she seemed tougher than I remember, but is she really improved?
+ Yaga-Shura - He also seemed tougher and I knew I hadn't seen that Aura of Flaming Death before but with the right tactics he also was toast rather quickly
+ Sendai - is broke in BGT so I can't say anything about that
+ Draconis - seems to be unimproved in BGT, he quickly fell to some (legally deployed) Spike Traps
+ Abazigal - WOW! He (especially his girl) seemed to be a bit overpowered to me but I got him in the end
+ End battle - YAHOOOO! This is marvelous! The banter between Irenicus and Sarevok is hilarious and the fight is tough (haven't beaten it yet) but fun because I can relate to my foes and it doesn't seem as pointless as fighting a horde of Elementals.
.
So kudos to David Gaider for this great thing and to Bardez for BGT. I really had a great time almost as good as in my first run through the BG series [img]smile.gif[/img]

I didnt know that you could fight Irenicus in TOB with the acsension MOD. Unless you are talking about BG2? And what is BGT do you mean TOB or BG2?? Or nether.

In the Ascension right before the Final Battle Jon Boy and Bodhi show up with two Fallen Plantars to fight you.

BGT=Baldur's Gate Trilogy, a mod that allows you to play the whole BG series (BG1+TotSC+BG2+ToB) in one run and with the BG2 engine. People from BG1 like Imoen, Jaheira, Minsc or Edwin will retain the stats they had at the end of BG1 and you get a nice transition sequence between the two parts.

Could somebody please tell me what the banter between Sarevok and Irenicus is [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sarevok ridicules Irenicus for letting you get away that often and falling in the end. He also calls him "Just another Mage" which I found especially funny because that is what he was for me in this run through. Mazzy+Gesen Bow+Imporved Hast = Spellcaster bye-bye

Also, there are many better spell casters in the game than Dyhanier, it's just a point of preference.

You get a chance to have little Jonny join you and help you fight the final battle. There is a long dialogue, which I still have not figured out after like, a month I think. Does anyone know how to get him to join you? My thread asking about it was just left hanging

Dynaheir and Khalid (because they die in Irenicus dungeon). Other reappearing NPCs can be taken but I guess this will be fixed by Bardez to avoid awkward things like Viconia recruiting Viconia or Xzar talking to Xzar or AJantis killing Ajantis.

IIRC you need Redemption mod.
