Entangle Graphics

Hi,
The graphics for Entangle in BG2 are way over the top. These ankle grabbing roots completely encase and obscure the character. It almost becomes unplayable if 20 xvarts are ensared. The graphics from Icewind Dale are much more toned down. I dropped the Entangle .eff file from IWD into my BG2 override folder and it works much better.
Thanks.

    While I agree, they are not permitted to use resources from IWD in BGEE.

    Thanks for the info. I think I'll use my homemade solution when the time comes.

    Where did you read that? They have all the resources from IWD and Planescape, after all.

    Well, only the developers can confirm this, but I was under the impression that they didn't have the assets or the authorization to use the IWD1/2 assets in BGEE.

    Yeah, what Tanthalas and LordsDarkKnight185 said. Also the web spell looks better in IWD.
