BGT+imoen dual classing

[teardropmina]

wow!!! an interesting mod...but a question...

if you finish the BG1 portion of the game NOT with Imone, Minsc, and Jaheira, will the beginning of SoA change as well?

[Pyrenk]

No. You can kill all of them, and they'll be in SoA, ready to annoy you.

that really doesn't make sense "story-wise": if it's ineed "Baldur's Gate Trilogy"...the whole epic story should be coherent in a way, ie. those who travel with you in BG1 should end up with you in the Irenicus' Dungeon; if you're soloing from BG1, you should be alone in Irenicus' Dungeon in the beginning of the second part of the trilogy. it's neatpicking I know, but well...^_*

IIRC, there is a mod (or it's in progress) that partially fixes this-if Imoen/Dy/Minsc etc. die in BGI, they won't be in BGII. It seems prone to bugs, however...Especially the Imoen part.

minsc, imoen, khalid etc. cant actually die in the bg1 in the trilogy unless u use sk to take off their belts. Otherewise they just get to 1 hp and then leave.

But that's the trilogy [img]smile.gif[/img]

I presume that they presumed you would take those characters to the end because they make a decent team.

I think that's the intent of the game makers...there's a "core" story, which we gamers can choose to play through from BG1 all the way til ToB...PC, Imone, Khalid, Jaheira, Minsc and Dynaheir. I originally thought that the team through BG1 should be the team starting SoA, but now...hey, there are some time in between your killing of Saverok and being captured by Irenicus. we can actually go in the final BG battle with different group and later recurit them back. But, it still works/feels better "story wise" if we play through the whole trilogy starting with that roster, and stay with Jaheira, Minsc, and Imone all the way to the end.

I'm doing that now, just got Imone back. Just once, if you do that, it will and may make lots of sense.

too bad I cannot try the BGT mod since my current internet server (school service) doesn't allow me to exceed the usage of 1 GB bandwidth within 24 hours. Can I download the mod separately? like download it bit by bit in three days?

Yes I suppose that is the intenet although they are good characters and fun to play with.

Of course. You can download and resume and anyway there isnt only one file, the actual main file doesnt take that much up on its own. just altogether with the patches. You could easily split it up. 3 days, 3 weeks even. Whatever suits you best!! [/qb][/QUOTE]

Simply think of the scripting and hard work it would take to complete make the storyline dependent of your choices. They would have to re-write the entire intro of BGII. From then onwards: how would you get out of your cage? Who would Irenicus capture? Imoen must be alive so the BGT writers had to make sure Imoen stays alive. As far as minsc and jaheira and dynaheir are concerned, they would be much easier to 'delete' from the story.
