I know most of us probably played these. Anyone looking for to the enhanced versions coming out this summer? I'm tempted but it might just convince me to play the originals so I wouldnt have to wait a few months.

Edited: forgot link. It's simple though:

www.baldursgate.com

And after the 4 clicks on stuff that actually shows nothing the simplified version of the info is here:

I would be looking for a graphics update and, as my wife told me after she found some stuff about it on some gameing site, they're also going to add some new content.

Unfortunately, it looks like they're going to stick to D&D 2nd Edition rules for it though.

Fourthed!

I'll probably pick those up for playing through.  I'm liking the idea of an upgraded game engine for them.  Next stop, Planscape:Torment!!!

(I just made that last part up, but it would be awesome if they did it)

He means take your THAC0 and shove it up your ass till it almost falls out of your piehole, then swallow it again, and shit it out on your character sheet while attempting to Turn Undead.

Only faggots turn undead.  THACO is amazing.  The onl people who don't like it are the lesser beings that cannot comprehend it.

Am I lucky, or am I unlucky? It is maybe not very smart making this confession in the wault, but on the other hand, I am not very smart:
I never played Baldurs Gate II. I played some hours of Baldurs Gate (maybe till lvl 3...until you find that evil wizard that may join your party)

...that's like the second map to the west...

Both games are amazing and I'll definitely buy the enhanced version when it comes out, although I still have the original game in my "office" at home.  Cool

Yes, but it is cool because it is complicated.
And it is  very cool to say "My AC is -3". You are using NEGATIVE numbers!! How cool is that?
You know nothing.

Turn undead is an awesome ability. You use it and get all manner of awesome abilities like turning short duration buffs into 48 hour always on effects.

Wait, what? Turn undead to actually turn undead? Stop taking candy from Herpinga.

Yes.  THAC0 was a retarded mechanic that overly complicated a simple combat roll.

I'm also not sorry to see the -10 AC cap gone either.  Suck it, 2ed fanbois.

That cap never existed. You could get to -12 or -14 or so with the right gear.

It's not always about you. In fact, it almost never is. Sorry to disappoint.

Hi Welcome wrote on Mar 19th, 2012 at 6:56pm:

Let's see...

BASE AC = 10

10
-7 (25 Dex)
-8 (Bracers of Armor Class 2)
-5 (Ring of Protection +5)
-5 (Cloak of Protection +5)
-15 AC Total

Of course 25 Dex is normally impossible to get unless, of course, we're playing in your or Epoch's game.  Tongue

There are probably some other things I'm forgetting like an Ioun stone or something.
