No, not you...I mean your characters! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I decided to intoxicate my character in BG1 and go around swinging aimlessly at people...only to miss every time. Now, the manual claims that taking a drink or 2 bolsters your moral...is this true? Will it help in your save against a fear spell?
Any purpose to drinking? It's a nice touch to the game, but I don't see much point to it.

Roleplaying.

never went out fightin under the influence. i just tend to get my characters leathered till the barstaff wont serve me no more [img]smile.gif[/img]

do you get useful rumours when you drink in BG2 like you did in BG1?

I think you do

In BG 1 I once made a godlike mage with gatekeeper. Then I drank until they didn't serve me anymore. Then I started casting cloudkills on random townspeople.

I did that :D

and drinking is majorly for RP reasons... and for people who don't know what the hell to do...

Yes. It's true. But no, it will not help in save against fear spells. Morale only works with natural fear (reaction to party member dying, low HP, etc).

And yes, there are tips from bartenders, and that is the only real "good" reason to drink. btw, you also get tips from temples if you donate money.

Yes, but they don't record it in the journal like in BG1.

which is a downer.
