One thing I should warn all BG2 players about.

in Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition
DO NOT USE PERMANENT POLYMORPH SPELLS ON QUEST BOSSES, IT WILL SCREW UP THE QUEST. I recently used a Jon Irenicus character that was given to me, and I used turn into slime spell...well, let's just say Torgal after death broke the quest. Had to reload the whole thing lol.

    If you turn someone who has a quest item or deliver a final speech and clue to progress the game into a squirrel, you're lost. I've had that and guess slime does the same.

    I think even if you kill the squirrel or whatever the game will not recognize the guy to be dead. I remember been stuck in Cloakwood with Daevorn not detected dead and not having dropped the plug key. Yes that's BG1 but the same glitch if you use EET.

    Sounds like a bug. Does it still happen on the 2.5 patch? If yes, please, report on support.baldurgate.com attaching a zip of your save and screenshots of how it happens. This is the best way to see the issue fixed.

    This was from memory. I have no save of it, I didn't even think of it as a bug. Just using some spell in a place I shouldn't have used it. Since it was a highly modded game it may not even be vanilla issue.

    Using spells shouldn't make the game unplayable. This is a bug if it happens. So please,

    I wish I could check 2.5. Android still has no BETA so I can't check this. But I hope it's fixed. Using Irenicus is too much fun.

    Problem is I did, but somehow missed it. Damn, it's like I have been looking at a chameleon. Btw, I'm curious since I can't find this being mentioned anywhere, does this android update fix the ToB missing epilogue cutscenes? And does it have Polish VA, or is that at full release??
  • JuliusBorisovJuliusBorisov Member, Administrator, Moderator, Developer Posts: 22,760
    Can you clarify about the missing ToB cutscenes?

    The next stage of beta for BG2:EE will include the VO, including Polish (at least, this is the plan) - so that translation teams could test translations.

    When you finish ToB on Android, from what I have noticed, it skips the cutscenes of various endings and goes to Epilogue straight away. Tested it several times to no effect. Can't even play them in videos section, they just don't play like they don't exist.

    Ah, great, I was missing playing in Polish for a long time, any plans to have the DLC chars to have VAs too? It would feel weird to have English with Polish VAs lol.
