@MalacPok has shared an idea of a "elementalist" druid concept.
The concept sees a multi-class fighter/druid who focuses on using a Fire Elemental Transformation HLA and GWW. The Fire Elemental form hits as +4 and GWWs give amazing DPS results.
Thanks, @Bengoshi! The characters are about to get into their first combat… with Giant Rats (these things are, like 3' long and appropriately "monsters". YMMV to those who like rats!).
@Bengoshi They just fought Land Sharks, who took the party for a ride (not very good for the party), but I did a callback to Saturday Night Live with the "LAND SHARK!"

@Oriens has created a script which allows to see and change the morale of party members. Finally you'll be able to see the truth about the morale checks of brave Khalid and Garrick.
I normally don't correct people's spelling, but this one needs to be said. I think you mean morale, @bengoshi. Changing morals could make Dorn a happy friendly paladin of justice and hugs.
I've finished indexing all the feature requests that had been posted on the forum from September, 2013 to June, 2015. The thread can be found here.
For nearly two years the feature requests here have not been analysed or indexed so that the feature requests' forum section included 15+ pages (to tell the truth, brilliant pages) of different requests, not organised in any manner.
The earlier feature requests (created prior to September, 2013) were indexed by @elminster a long time ago (in August, 2013) so I felt a need to continue this work. Those lists made by elminster, as well as the Devs' bugtracker served as an inspiration and an example to create a new list of feature requests.
A lot has been changed in regards to BG1/2EEs since then, IWDEE has been released, a lot of new forumites have joined the forum and a lot of new ideas have appeared.
Now everyone, a player, a modder and even a developer, can simply click one thread and see what requests have been of interest (both small and big) to players of the EE games. Some of them are rare, under 50-views things, while others are quite popular among the BG community.
The list is organised into 10 parts so that searching/browsing through a certain category of requests and finding a certain request is easier. Requests by different users that basically state the same are united under one entry.
Every entry has a short description of a request, a mention of its author and a link to the source.
If a BG fan would like to see a change in the EE games, it's possible to check what requests have already been made and read the feedback (if there is any) on them.
If a modder would like to know what element should be changed, it's again possible to check the already made assumptions and maybe choose a direction of a new mod component.
If the Developers are thinking about "What's next for the EEs?" (today, the next year, anytime), it's possible to look through the list of feature requests in one place and find a sphere for appealing patch ideas or maybe even for an additional content.
An example of the "adventurey chapter between BG and BG2" request that once was made shows that fans' requests do really matter and many of them come into life with time. While organising the requests I saw a lot of examples when requests later became the actual game features. Beamdog listens to the players so it's never a waste to voice your suggestion or two.
A huge thank you to everybody who have been contibuting and will contribute to the feature requests' section in the future. Lot's of good ideas there.
Cheers!
P.S. There're no less than 550 requests that have been made during the period of September, 2013 - June, 2015. It's hard to tell which request is the most popular among them, but one thing is certain: the highest amount of separate threads about one subject in that forum section belongs to the idea of one, united/unified collection of portraits and soundsets available in both BGEE and BG2EE.
Remembering the bad story of the "Report Abuse" button, I would like to mention that the new feature works completely private, i.e. noone, except for the site administrators, will see that one's post has been flagged. This way, there's no seen "flag counter" on anyone's profile.
So it's highly recommended to use this button only in those situations when the violation of the forum rules is indeed in the place.
Hi folks, I just wanted to invite your attention to my no-reload playthrough if you're inclined & have the time to take a look every now & then when you're here visiting the forum.
My playthrough is entitled, "The Adventures of Sir (Lord) Gawain in Faerun (Pre-Camelot)" (Minimum Reload - Spoiler Warning). This is a completionist play though which means Gawain, to Sir Gawain when he was 'knighted' and who then graduated to Lord Gawain on acquiring D'Arnise Hold
For what it's worth this character started as a Level 1 Fighter with his introductory post being August 24, 2014. Now well more than a year later he has is in Abazigal's Lair & has never fallen from BG/TotSC thru SOA & now into TOB. The story of this character is that these are his 'pre-Camemlot adventures that bring his fame to King Arthur, thru Merlin, across the Sea of Swords to another land outside and unknown to Faerun. Once he completes his mission he'll be invited to join Arthur's Round Table. He is supported by a fantastic party: Auren, Apprentice (Fighter)/26; Keldorn, Paladin/Inquisitor/24; Anomen Fighter/17//Watcher of Helm//18; Imoen, Thief (Charming Rogue/31) and Sarah Ranger (Beast Master/24).
I'm pretty excited as I've never made a playthrough in BB/TotSC much less SOA/TOB but my comanions & my PC are a handful now.
For those of us who're scared to browse through 80+ pages of the Custom PC & NPC Portraits thread and the previous thread for Alternate NPC and PC portraits in the search for quality NPCs portraits, @Buttercheese created https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/44895/custom-npc-portraits-masterthread#latest - now, the only thing you need is to look at the OP and choose the portraits you like.
I know it's quite a popular thing - to look for alternate NPCs portraits - and many people don't know where to get them (the last time I saw it @recklessheart asked about it, for example).
So, there're "current discussions" and "the focus" of them. It's clear the discussions are about the next game - one only thing that is for sure is that the next game won't be NWNEE.

A cool idea for those who like randomness and magic... Although to get Detect evil and Detect alignment is not so funny
