lost my kickass armors
after the underdark, those drow armors turn to dust and i already sold my previous cool armors, had a reddragon armor, doomplate+3 and pride of the legion +2 for the melee chars
Pwnt, it says that in the description

I remember there being some special plate armor with a description saying it was not affected by sunlight, granted that's one item out of how many other suits of chainmail, half-plate and plate armors you loot from drow and other underdark denizens.
I'm not sure if they fixed it in the EE but in the original the game only checked whether you have the drow equipment in the Underdark Exit location so you could either stash the drow stuff in the bag of holding until you leave the area or give everything you want to keep to one character and quickly kick him. He'll still have it when he goes to his usual place.
well i think it deserves it, im only 15h in bg2ee and everything is better than bgee from story, quests, writing to dialogues, areas design, companion interaction; oh and it has dragoooons . Ah and athkatla (or whats the name) is much more cooler than baldur's gate
It is so much better, the starting town is so much better. A new fun quest around every corner. But I agree that you should play the first game. Grate for learning and you can transfer your character to the second game after you finish the game. Not entirely straight forward on Android but you can do it.
Bg2 is generally hard to beat It's an almost perfect example of this kind of a game. Good story with a fantastic villain. Great quest design. Cool locations. Fun encounters. Everything just clicks right into place. I must have played this game millions of times over the years, but every time I do it again, I'm amazed how good it still is.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
The EE versions, at release, weren't terribly different from the original games once you applied 4-5 mods.
Since then, they've updated the games enough that I would absolutely recommend playing the EE versions. The interface in particular is now so much better.
It's better at showing you information, it's easy to mod, area looting is great, I use the zoom quite often, it's an overall better experience.
Those are upgrades you won't get with mods.
With the majority of mods being compatible with EE (modding is important for the devs), you don't have too many reasons to stick with the old games. It's mainly a matter of price.
The older versions can still be had for (much) cheaper when a website like GOG offers seasonal deals. Still, it's the hump, people can just pirate the EE games if they want to.
I think they're worth buying and playing when Steam has sales going on (they easily go down to half price, at least), but they're pricey so nothing wrong with trying them first.
i finished bg2ee and no bugs tho the pathfinding was horrible compared to bgee; in bg2ee there was a 50-50 chance chars would get stuck when moving while in the first game rarely any problem
So what's the better way to play this one?
Enhanced? Or is there any mods out there that pimp the regular version even better than the Enhanced Edition? Or mods for the Enhanced edition(only related to fiurther improved UI/visuals, maybe a few gameplay/bug tweaks)?
HALP!

Just get the EE and patch it to the max. 1.5 i think is the latest version.
There were never any good mods for BG2 other than the widescreen/UI stuff that is made obsolete by the EE. The content mods range from mediocre to pure shit. There are some AI/rebalance mods that make the combat more challenging by nerfing the op combinations/spells from the original but I personally didn't like any of them as it seems that they are aimed at peope who have played through the game 50 times.

Oh, I'm sorry - for some reason I thought you wanted to re-play BG2. I guess it is because I never felt the urge to replay BG1 whereas I beat BG2 at least 5 times.
I take it you never played BG1 before?
Yeah, I was wrong - 1.3 is the latest version for both BG1 and BG2 - only IWD has been updated to 1.4 at this point.
Thread necro but I'm finally playing through the enhanced edtion. What in the fuck did they do to this game? It's absolutely butchered. I know the game was difficult but all a sudden, poison is super fucking fast now and will kill any party member in about 3 seconds, I'm getting one shot hit by fucking gouls, ALL WHILE I PUT IT ON EASY!
Like fucking nothing is balanced in this. I had less trouble on hard when I was 15

I imagine this is either a bug (poison killing people very quickly could happen if your FPS is higher than default), or just the game being harder than you remembered. It was indeed tough at low-levels, similar to what DND was back then.
If you find the difficulty to truly be unbelievable and think it shouldn't be this hard, you can ask on their forums. It might be a bug, since the developers didn't modify the game to make it harder.
You can write down the damage done by poison + ghouls and see if it matches up with what is expected to happen.
From my memory, the ghoul is intended to teach players to change tactics and fight some monsters with ranged attacks, as ghouls and ghasts hit hard + paralyze you. With that said, it might be true that you're suffering from a bug.
I keep original copy on HD, untouched from any of these nonsense 'so called' updates. Best avoided.
What parts?! I've noticed some of the dialog seems different
The base games weren't made PC, they didn't touch the story. The new expansion that the developers made contained a badly written trans character, which is why people called them SJWs.
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.
