I've spent the last year or so playing NWN mods and NWN2, but the BG series has a charm to it that makes me want to come back and play it again. After reading though the posts on this forum it seems that there is a problem with the final battle in TOB with BP177. So if I am installing BP now, would it be better to skip the BP version of Ascension and install the standalone Weidu version of Ascension instead or would that hose my BP installation? I still have all the 'classic' BP files on my PC, and since I have little interest in playing through SOS and TDD again I was thinking I might use these again if the first option is not possible. Any ideas? Thanks

On my latest build until BPv178 is released, I've got the standalone Ascension mod installed just prior to BP177, and skipped the BP version. Time will tell if I ever get that far,,,

OK, thanks

I have more problems with the standalone version than with the BP version. I have alot of personal fixes in my game so maybe that is what is happening.

I am interested of what kind of problems you have with Ascension-WeiDU. I am aware of the tired old bug "The five don't die", or the variant "Abazigal don't die", but do you have experienced others than these ?

Yep, I experienced plenty of other bugs (partially documented in my/other players previous posts):
- dialogues with Amelissan completely broken, affecting the normal succession of events.
- dialogues between Amelissan and Irenicus not triggering, weird events if the 5th child of bhaal sides with you.
- first battle with Amelissan broken, problems with the revived 5
- the power nodes don't trigger (the bridges don't get enables)
- second battle with Amelissan also broken: regenerates indefinitly after getting critical hit
- epilogues only triggered by porced summoning of the solar
- final movies broken (freeze after first NPC epilogue)...

Too bad it happened at the end, but hey!, my ride through BGT+BP+ most mega-mods was fantastic nonetheless.

Thanks younes for your feedback, I remembered your posts, but I thought you had problems with Ascension-BP, not Ascension-WeiDU, right ?
