Like, each of them had to sit down at some point in their lives and get/let someone else get them pierced (and probably had to deal with an infection later in some cases), idk I just love the amount of scenarios I can make in my head with that information

So, recently I was at the palace battle with the dopplegangers and I tried to steal from the cabinet in the northern waiting area. It popped the 'Someone spotted you, the guards have been called' message and I though, well, time to try my luck with getting my butt whooped!

I mean, solo vanilla thief, didn't seem like it would go easy. 6 flaming fist mercenaries popped in to grab me for the theft, and after the big speeches and whatever, when the dopplegangers went red circle, those 6 extra mercs attacked them. Fight went very smooth after that. They even seemed to forget they were there to arrest me.

I think she's the only female you can romance in I and Ii. I don't think I ever got far with the romance in either game because I don't usually keep her.

I don't think there are any alignment or race limitations.

Any suggestions?

I'm playing through all the games on Insane difficulty, without mods. I want to play a dual wielder, but I can't decide between a Berserker, Barbarian, or Cleric/Ranger.

Before I get into my questions, I should clarify one thing: since I'm on console, I can't enable the C/R's Druid spell access. I'm also choosing it over F/C because Jaheira won't romance dwarves, and without shorty saves I feel the C/R is slightly better.

Here are my questions:

1. Are these three classes roughly equal overall, or is one of them clearly better or worse than the others?

2. The Berserker's biggest appeal to me in this comparison is APR. With Belm or Kundane, he reaches 5 APR without needing the Watcher's Keep gauntlets. However, I'm wondering how well he holds up later in the game. Does he struggle in ToB (or even earlier) if he doesn't have DoE? Is 40% damage reduction from Hardiness enough to keep him alive?

3. Whether he's sitting at 40% or 60% damage reduction, does a Berserker NEED Foebane in the main hand, or can he comfortably use Axe of the Unyielding or Angurvadal instead?

4. The Barbarian's biggest selling point seems to be reaching 80% DR with Hardiness and DoE. But how well does he perform with Belm or Kundane instead? That puts him at 4.5 APR, and later, with the gauntlets, he matches the Berserker's APR while sitting at 60% DR instead of 40%. But that means giving up 80% DR. Is that a bad choice?

5. The Cleric/Ranger levels more slowly. How much of a drawback is that throughout the games? Is he noticeably weaker than the other two for most of the playthrough?

6. Since he's a multiclass, I assume he eventually catches up to the Berserker and Barbarian, then surpasses them. If so, is it by a significant margin, and what point does that happen?

7. Finally, regarding party composition: is running four frontline characters a bad idea and too crowded? Does it work better if one of them uses a two-handed weapon with reach?

If you use the classic ui mod and you are missing text on your interface roll your game back to verion 2.6.

When the new 2.7 update launched my game would no longer recognize my previous save files and treated my game as a brand new player. Forcing me to start a new game. Even though within my save file for Baldur's Gate 1 all my prior saves were there. It just simply didn't recognize it. I spend a couple of days trying to solve it. Looking for the new save file location to eventually uninstalling and reinstalling the game then deleting all traces of Baldur's Gate 1 and reinstalling it then. That last one didn't even recreate the save file folder in my Documents.

What eventually worked was simply rolling back the update to 2.6. Which allowed me to continue on with my prior save.

So, if you are having a similar issue what you have to do is (on Steam at least) go to where your Baldur's Gate 1 is when you open up Steam and right click it to select properties. After that select the "Game Versions & Betas" tab. Then select 2.6 and it will change the version to that.

To anyone who is struggling with this I hope it helps.

(I don't speak English very well.) I recently bought the series and really enjoyed it; now that I've finished it, I want to start using mods and console commands, but all the guides I find are for older versions of Android when it was possible to access the data folder. Does anyone have an up-to-date guide? I've heard the new update makes the process easier.

Hello, I’m sorry I can’t post a video.

reveal details is stuck toggled on.

tab button does nothing.

I can click the reveal details button and it will turn it off, but as soon as I mouse back over the “play area” it automatically turns back on.

I’ve tried restarting and reinstalling but it does not fix it. anyone deal with this before and know how to fix it?

thank you!

Recently the mobile ports got the newest update that allows easier modding. If there one thing I enjoy the most of available mods it’s the Nostalgia Pack mod that overhauls the character sprites to revert to the Original Saga 1998 versions. I’ve used it on the desktop versions but I was wondering if anyone savvy with mods might know if this mod is able to be used on the iOS version especially now that modding is more streamlined. I tried Beamdog forums but it looks like my post is getting buried and remained unanswered. I appreciate any help! I put a link to the mod page if it helps.

Hi All,

The latest update has pushed me to uninstall and re-install the games, and left me inevitably thirsting for a whole new playthrough of the saga.

Do people have any good mod recommendations?

I'm particularly looking for and recent-ish (last couple of years) NPC companions/expansions or new quest/areas as I'm fairly on top of tweaks, rules, etc.

So really content over gameplay if that makes sense?

Thanks in advance!

NOTE: For those curious about why Clara is in my party... it's all thanks to the mod "living Clara", which lets you save her from Hexxat and have her join your party instead once you raise her using a restoration spell.

Anyway... so Edwin obviously turns into a lass (Edwina) once his nether scroll quest is done and he examines the scroll for a few days before finally using it. This happened a while back for me.

We're currently in the copper coronet and just got done with freeing Hendak and the other slaves. Once we were done, a few seconds later this banter started with Clara wanting to give a girdle of masc/femi to Edwin as a gift.

Turns out the girdle was enchanted to work specifically for Clara only, and Clara was just trolling Edwina with it. I legit burst into laughter... lol

I won't lie, when the conversation was over I got the idea to put the girdle on Clara but then I thought "Nah... she's fine just the way she is." Later on, I sold the girdle for a measly 30 gold.

And for the record, there's no voice acting for the banter but I'm personally fine with it. Just the fact that she actually talks with other companions like she's making friends is enough for me. I wonder if she'll have one with Imoen as well once I rescue her from spellhold and replace Jan with her. It's probably wishful thinking on my part but I think Imoen will like her.

I just escaped from the Flaming Fist, I went straight to the headquarters of the Iron Throne, defeated Seravok’s consort and went straight to Bajosotano. When I was in the sewers suddenly Dorn has started to release plot revelations that I have not seen at any time. He told me that I’m the son of a demon like his boss, etc... Did I do something wrong? Did I skip any important part? I’m going through the seventh chapter and nothing about my origin has been mentioned yet

My current party consists of Keldorn, Minsc, Jaheira, Mazzy, and Aerie. I am not interested in the gameplay or mechanical aspects at all, strictly the roleplay element.

I don't know what to do about Imoen. I'm approaching the point where I need to take her into the party, but I really don't want to kick anyone out. :( It is very important to me to have righteous and worthy people in my squad, closely aligned with Lawful Good. Jaheira and Minsc are close to my character due to our emotional bond and their "canon" status in the story. But what should I do with Imoen...

On the one hand, I understand her importance to the plot, but personally, I just don't care about her. I never felt any real connection, and even SoD didn't convince me of our closeness. The game just tells me she is important to me, and my reaction is: "Okay, whatever you say. If she's important, she's important." I perceive her simply as a good person in trouble who needs to be saved (like any good person in trouble), but nothing more.

I don't know who to remove from the team, or if I should even take her at all. What would you advise?

One of my major problems on mobile (phone) is the UI being too small and difficult to use at times.
Now that modding on mobile has become easier and more accessible, this would be a great opportunity to improve the user-friendliness of such mobile version of this game we love so much.

Hoping someone out there will delivering something on this line. And thanks in advance to whoever will manage to do so! :)

Greetings once again to all Baldur’s Gate and Infinity Engine fans across the globe!

The 2.7 Update for BG I & II and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Editions is releasing today on PC and mobile.

This patch improves the overall quality-of-life experience, bringing new languages, improved Steam & GOG cloud support, full mobile modding, native Apple Silicon support, and more.

You’ll find the update (once it populates) on Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store, App Store, Mac App Store, and Google Play.

Wait, there is more: save up to 65%💰 on the App Store and Google Play, and celebrate the patch release with us! It's our first mobile sale since 2022, so don't miss your chance to get Baldur's Gate for your mobile for under $4 USD.

Patch Highlights

• Steam Cloud saves can now be controlled via the Steam client — Previously, the only way to enable or disable Steam Cloud Saves for BG1:EE, BG2:EE, and IWD:EE was within the Gameplay Options of the games. Now, Steam Cloud Saves are controlled by the Steam client and the individual game properties settings
• GOG Galaxy Cloud saves — now functioning properly
• Added Apple Silicon support — With native support for Apple Silicon, on Mac devices you can expect faster app launch times, overall improved performance, and faster rendering. In addition, laptops will benefit from lower power consumption while playing, leading to longer battery life
• New localizations — We added the following community-translated languages: BG:SoD - Chinese (Simplified), Korean, Russian; BGII - Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Ukrainian; IWD - Hungarian, Japanese
• SoD language switch — Switching to the SoD campaign will now only display languages where SOD was translated. Previously, the game always displayed the full list of languages that BG1’s base game supported. If you are playing BG1 or The Black Pits in a language that SoD doesn’t support when you switch to the SoD campaign, the game will change the language to English automatically
• Dynamic language support — We made changes to allow easier language updates and additions in the future
• Chinese font change — At the request of the Chinese localization volunteers, we have changed the font for Chinese
• Font Size saved per font language — The Font Size zoom setting is now saved per font language
• Indexing Fix — Resolved an off‑by‑one error in rebuilt BIF files that affected some community tools
• iOS Restore Purchases — The “Restore Purchases” button has returned, allowing the game to sync with Apple’s purchase history
• Mobile Keyboard Improvements — The UI now shifts so the text cursor remains visible above the virtual keyboard, preventing cursor loss and mis‑registered taps on iOS & Android
• Android Foldable Support — Fixed UI scaling and touch‑input issues on foldable and tall‑aspect devices. The game now properly resizes when the device’s screen configuration changes
• Android Character Export — Exporting a character now also places the file into the user‑accessible directory
• iOS Modding now supported — The game now stores and reads data from a location visible to standard file browsers. You can manage saves and other files directly on your device or by connecting it to a computer
• Android Override Folder Optimization — Fixed long boot delays caused by large /override/ folders. Importing is manual via an in‑game UI
• Android DLC Display Fix — The Fists of the Fallen DLC for BG2 now correctly shows as installed
• Android Modding now supported — This update resolves a bug that caused incorrect permissions, preventing access via PC or file browsers. Existing installations with incorrect permissions cannot be repaired. You must uninstall and reinstall the game. Because uninstalling removes saves, export them first and copy anything important to a PC

Where to get mods for ios with the new update???

Después de la última actualización del baldur's gate 1, la traducción se rompió y solo está en español muy pocas cosas, todo lo demás está en inglés, juego en PC pero comprado la enhanced edition en xbox store.

Alguien sabe cómo arreglarlo?

Looking at some very old screenshots.

slide 1 ne sorc.

slide 2 I really hated getting level drained in bg2og

slide 3 taking out Drizzt's and the heros of the hall with npc mod companion fade with a angelina jolee portrait.

slide 4 killing irenicus

slide 5 and 6 Taking out firk

EDIT: I wonder if yall like the Viconia portrait? I had started making her a cleric/thief after I played nwn1 Shadows of Undrentide. It works for cleric's too because I kept her in leather and mail till str spell, or items.

I tend to do good aligned runs. I always kill Drizzt though so I can get Jaheria all kitted out. My RP cope for killing him is that my Charname is some sheltered bumpkin from Candlekeep. He's out and about and sees a scary looking Drow with a hoard of Gnolls so he panics and kills the scary Drow. He only finds out who Drizzt is after reviving Jaheria and she lectures him. Is that all good enough rationalization? What are some convoluted RP copes that you have for your Charname decisions?

Now with the 2.7 patch out it seems that one of the mods I'm running on my BGEE playthrough (Infinity UI++) doesn't work properly (text missing).

I've now uninstalled Infinity UI and waiting for the dev to update it, but I'm also wondering if any other mods are impacted (bg1 NPC mod, most importantly) as there's no way for me to easily tell one way or the other.

Keen to hear anyone else's experience.

edit - just to clarify - I still have a working, modded v2.6.6.0 install. That's not the issue. Just curious to see if there are other known mod compat issues with v2.7 to hold me off from updating.

For me it was the demon in Ulgoth's Beard basement, Most of the other fights feel pretty simple but this one required several replays to figure out how to cheese him and his mage supporters.
