Random new stuff in BGII:EE?

xzar_monty

I haven't gone through all the houses in Athkatla and elsewhere, but it seems to me that there's not much new content anywhere. Is that right? I mean, there's that new guarded door at Waukeen's Promenade that you notice right away (and can possibly access later), but is there anything else?

This is not a complaint, by the way. I quite like all the new stuff. I'm just wondering if there's a new minor encounter / character / quest somewhere. One that is not intricately tied to any of the new NPCs.

Anyone found anything?

Maylander

The new stuff is pretty much all connected to the new NPCs (including the door you mentioned), so no, not a lot of random stuff. Beyond that it's mostly bug fixes, interface enhancements etc.

Kinda makes me sad. It would have been cool to find some new items scattered about, like the Stupifier in BGEE.

@Maylander: Yeah, I've been behind that door.

@Eudaemonium: I agree. It would have been wonderful to have, for instance, someone new at some bar somewhere, giving you a new minor quest. Or a new random encounter. Anything.

The new character quests are all very long with their own twists and random sub quests so that kinda counts...

I think mods will fill it up. Unless game is fully patched up that's more important

@kryptix: Of course. Still, the amount of joy you get from small additions cannot be underestimated. (Heck, I would have been happy to write five to ten minor new encounters myself...)
