I talked to them once, and was just creeped out by them. I have never recruited them that I can recall.

Yeah, that's it. They're both creepy, right?

Anyway thanks for answers. Wondering what Khajiit thinks.

Aia's party briefly included Tiax, the deranged gnome illusionist that can be found quite late in the game, namely in Baldur's Gate. I had quite some laughs while he was in the party, especially when he got into banters with other NPCs. He's one of those characters that's actually impossible to get on with, unless one is on the same level of madness. All discussions with him end with his quote "Tiax rules all!". His dialogue has been slightly enhanced through the BG1NPC Project but it's been done in a fitting and humorous way.

Tiax, however, doesn't tolerate good-aligned parties well, so he left the party after only a day or two. It's been for the first time that any of my parties even allowed Tiax to join them. He's one of those characters that are encountered so late in the game that by then most parties are probably already skilled enough and not in a need of another member.

That's hilarious. Never met Tiax yet, but looking forward to doing so just for the antics. It's funny how we gossip about all these BG characters, right? They're all so personable. Professional. Unprofessional. They're all quite different, is what I mean to say.

A few days ago Aia and her party "completed" BG2 and sent Irenicus literally to Nine Hells. The expansion Throne of Bhaal waits to be completed but I might take a short break first and then either complete ToB or replay BG from the very start, this time with an evil protagonist. It's been a long journey, I returned to BG either in August or September after years of absence, my first protagonist was Myrta but she and her entire party got killed during a fight with vampires in BG2 and since it felt like a fair death, I decided to launch a new party. Well, Aia and her crew - Imoen, Viconia, Hexxat and Nalia were successful. It was also my first women-only party ever! Valygar briefly joined them in BG2 but eventually left, because he couldn't support having a vampire (Hexxat) in the same party.

My next protagonist might be inspired by Cicero from Skyrim, which means a mentally unstable character. he'll be human and his class will be jester. Speaking of...I might even name him Cicero.

Congrats on finishing up BG2!

I only finished it once. Buffy tends to linger so slowly that by the time we finish Act II she's ready to start again with a slightly different build and/or party.

I'm also a slow gamer.



Did you feel any different perspectives, comparing fraus to herrs?

That sounds great, a Cicero remake! Indeed, I was going to suggest he be a Bard, Jester is even better.

My party, led by Sir Tannley, is in the second zone of Nashkel Mine: Tannley, Imoen, Jaheira, Khalid, Neera, and Dorn. , 🧟 -------- My previous Lawful Good Warrior, Hadde Nuff, got killed by that dastardly wizard!!! But Tannley's come prepared. Tannley is an LG Paladin.

Cicero has been created, but I went with the chaotic neutral alignment, it suits him better. His party will probably consist of neutral- and evil-aligned characters. So far he has Imoen, Xzar and Montaron in his party and they're heading to Nashkel as well.

Can Cicero "tolerate" Monty and Xzar? That'd be interesting know. Those two idiots are so annoying, but I wonder if Cicero doesn't mind their idiocy?

So far, so good, I'd say. I've been using a mod that makes them talkative but for the time being it's mostly Montaron, who's talking, provoking NPCs or such. I'm not sure, how long will they remain in the party. As of yesterday, Neera is also on board. When we get Dorn too, Cicero will probably ditch Xzar and Montaron.

He will? So even a manic maniac can't tolerate those too! Guess that answers my question.

For the time being "my" Cicero isn't manic yet. He's an impersonation of a chaotic neutral personality, which is more fun to play than I had assumed. He's fairly unreliable, prone to changing sides, he perceives the world as one big play, where he's a jester on the stage...but he's not a maniac. Not yet, at least.

Dorn is now on board too and the party just entered the Nashkel mine.

Rainbow for gnolls

Shar-Teel and Dorn have a brief fight

Cicero, my protagonist, seem completely bored and undisturbed because of the fight in the last pic, he's simply stretching his arms around a little. It's actually an accurate description of his reaction when Shar-Teel and Dorn fight. It happens from time to time - the half orc and Shar Teel compete, who's the best fighter in the party and occasionally they had a short duel. Those events are scripted and end when one of the combatants has been damaged enough. Up until now Dorn has always been victorious and has humiliated Shar-Teel.

Nice pics, especially the rainbow gnoll killing spell.

Ha, I love that too!

And also, your game's in Italian, right? And your BG's graphics are different from my game.

Odd that we have different graphics because you've been using EE as well.

That looks cozy and inviting.

Not so cozy nor inviting.
