speaking of helms, is nobody bothered that the crest color is forced to red in BG1EE? Makes everyone look the same... Normally the color is supposed to inherit the user's own, doesn't it?
I'm trying really hard to think of a paladin in Baldur's Gate who was truly humble, who didn't shove it in everybody's faces all the time. I think Keldorn comes closest, but even he has a dash of "I'm better than you" mixed in.
I'd rather they bring back those Amnish soldier helms with the winged thingies. I used to trigger off the gravestone nasties in town with the intent of getting at least one Amnish soldier to die so I could loot his helm without a reputation loss... Cuz I'm good, so I would only let glowing walking bombs kill off the soldiers, not sully my own hands.
@byrne20 Yes, I seem to have failed to mention that I was talking about the Amnish soldiers in Nashkel- i.e., BG1. The same helm is on the hungry skeleton at Ulcaster, but it's more fun watching the Phoenix warriors clear the Nashkel road... and more lucrative. That helm is my favorite item in the game, but got uglified for BG2.
This is just a poll I decided to make through boredom. I have always wondered why the devs did away with the awesome purple helm of Ajantis? I have decided to start a poll to hopefully bring back the purple helm
What, they removed the purple color of the helm? This game has nothing to do with the old baldurs gate anymore.
Wasn't there a red helm in the game somewhere too? It's been quite some time since I've played vanilla BG. Bring all of the special helms back I say! I thought Beamdog's goal was to not remove content that was already in the game. Someone make a ticket on Redmine.
Yeah but surely they can change the colour of an item? I mean correct me if I’m wrong but they created plenty of their own original items. All this would involve is using a normal helmet and making it purple. Again I may be wrong but it seems like ‘a simple task’ as Charname would often say
I'd love to see it back, it was one of the things that made Ajantis special. But yes, seems like it disappeared because the icons changed (probably by necessity) on the movement to EE, and the developers probably had other priorities .

I'm pretty sure Kagain starts with a reddish colored bat-wing style helm.
