WarlockFX

Hi,

I am playing BGII. I am still at chapter 3, but I already have over 550 000 gold. I am trying to buy everything that is at least a little useful, always using the most expensive arrows, buying healing potions more - sleeping less, etc. but it is clearly not enough.

I already tried installing most of the shop mods from this page http://modlist.pocke...a...t&cat_id=26 but without much success, because the items there are usually not enough attractive to buy (I already gathered more powerful ones during the game, not mentioning that many of them are just obscure (more like joke-items))... and they are usually not that expensive anyway.

Is there really not any shopkeeper-mod for the game which would sold some extremely attractive AND extremely expensive (at least 200 000 gold or more) items? I don't care if that item would be overpowered - I would consider it to be ok if I had enough money for such buy only like two times per game.

Am I the only one who finds all the infinity games just totally unbalanced as for the money? I remember that in Diablo I, there was that boy at the north-west of the map, which had only ONE item at a time to sell, and it was such satisfaction when after a long time I finally gathered enough money to buy that great sword from him. In BGII, there are SO many items, but I am really missing that ONE obscenely expensive to buy.

Or in some games you can buy a house... maybe the game should allow me to buy a castle - perhaps Nalia could offer me her fort for a 1 million coins or something.

I feel really frustrated when I have so much money and nothing to do with it (Even when I am in the city of coin!) :(

Hi, this is my first mod installation of BG (well second attempt of it, the first one had similar problems thought.). Anyway I based it on the instructions from the huge 180 mod install described on this forum, except that I skipped many of the smaller mods, and all BG1 mods (installed BGT thought, because the instructions said it will fix something). I didn't deleted the cd paths from baldur.ini (the game kept asking for cd otherwise) and also didn't applied that minsc.bcs that was supposed to be on http://www.mkracht.de (the link doesn't work and I couldn’t find it elsewhere), and some mods that I used were the more recent versions, but otherwise I had followed the rules in http://www.shsforums...p...ost&id=4745 quite precisely, especially the installation order of the mods.

Well, when I start the game (new SoA, I don't want to play BG1), I appear it the Irenicus dungeon, fall to the ground and appear in Candlekeep with Gorion. Than i quicksaved the game, however when I try to load it (or the autosave) a bg2 intro will suddenly start and than a cutscene with two figures and a throne saying something about a region (I guess it is the region of terror mod). After that cutscene I appear back in Irenicus dungeon but the game will not resume to be playable.

I also tried to play the Candlekeep area without saveloading. However, when I skipped the chores the game will CTD shortly after the start of the following battle cutscene.

BTW my first installation attempt ended in not being able to resume after the cutscene after loading the game too, expect that the Candlekeep part wasn't there (eg. I loaded savegame from Irenicus dungeon). I didn't installed chores for g3 fix pack fix and 1stmod and done other minor things differently that time.

I would appreciate any help to get my current installation working and/or comments on my install.

Also I have one non-technical question. I would prefer more story based experience than just more fighting (eg. I liked Planescape Torment, not Trials of the Luremaster, which were just one battle after antother). Could anyone tell me which of the (big) mods are better suited for my goal, and which should I probably skip?
