Elven Chain

I recall reading something about a tweet confirming the addition of elven chain armor to BGEE, but as it stands, the only instance of elven chain in the game is the one worn by a certain NPC in one of Dorn's questline fights -- and she doesn't drop it (I just tested it with a new character on patch 2010).
Is this intended behavior? If so, please move this thread to feature requests. I don't see why this item would be considered overpowered though; its statistically weaker than archmage robes, and only really gives blades and multiclass characters some much needed flexibility in the low-level context of BG1.
P.S.
I didn't do any research on monk items in BGEE, but that strikes me as another class that suffers at the lower levels. If no monk-specific items have been added so far, then maybe it's something to consider for future updates.

(Seriously the Stupidfier stun 25% no save mace needs nerfing, that + offhand dagger of venom made him go down solo)
... and never got his hat
I thought me wanting a pointy hat justified it needing to drop.
I want the design on my character, give it negative stats for all I care :P
At least they warn us in the case of the daito (katana), so I thank the devs for this. If the issue is too much gold for all the unused items we would sell, make it so that you get next to nothing for selling magical items, or ratio it so it's the same loot value over more weapons (½ value, for instance).
Anyway, it's a mild complaint, not a 'How dare the devs not take care of my particular need? I need my money back, and a written apology, and a personal lapdance from Viconia plus a new AlienWare computer or else I won't pre-purchase BG2:EE.'
Disclaimer: Since I'm worried that my threat will be taken seriously and scare BeamDog/Overhaul, I'll include the tag </ rant >
In BGEE, if a mob can only be hit by magical weapons, any magical weapon will hit them regardless of enchantment level. Its only in BG2 that mobs start to distinguish between +1, +2, +3, +etc weapons.
I think it's some strange spell that my mages and clerics haven't found. Anyway, I got the bug again - all I see is a hand in the sky and the game forces me to reload. They really need to fix this bug!
@reedmilfam I would have so bought this collector's edition.
It should drop from Tazok in one of the upcoming patches.
Pay for one? If you have a wife then it's free!
It can still be useful if you kill Tazok first.
Can't you not equip armor during combat? So even if you killed Tazok 30 seconds before the end of the game you'd still be in combat with Saverok...
Hmm, might have to try and pull Tazok away somehow.
Allllllllllllllllllllllllllrighty then, thanks for clearing that up lawl
The greater werewolf is immune to all weapons that aren't flagged with silver.
Some weapons like the flame sword from durlags tower are flagged with "silver" even though it isn't int he description.
(This could be wrong, this is just what I've read.)
So I don't think Tanthalas is wrong because I think the greater werewolf is immune to all normal non-silver and all magical non-silver weapons.
@TiaxRulesAll
The problem I would have with this if @Tanthalas is being serious, is that it is would be obvious that this was done in order to make good on the fact that they said their would be elven chain in the game, and then decided they don't want it in the game for balance reasons.
Which would kind of be a slap in the face and insulting to the people that play their enhanced edition, if they change their mind and decide they don't want it in the game (which is the exact same thing as having it drop in the final battle) then just say that.
I confess my love to you right here. You are definitely cute for a troll
Not entirely. The mob cre files are form BG1, and they weren't change to th BG2 system.
Dorotea has one and one in the game is enough.
It is undroppable.
But next patch will likely be solve this ofr everyone's satisfaction.
