Hi all.
Just out of curiousity, does anyonw know, why in vanilla BG1 when you leave Candlekeep for the first time it is your foster father that heals you, but in BG:EE it is done by some random dude?

    Gorion is a mage, he should not be able to have an healing spell. So in the EE you are now healed by a priest.

    I am such a derp. Yeah, that totally makes sense.
    Thank you

    Pretty sure it used to be a common interpretation that he was an illegal human mage/cleric multiclass because of that heal he does.

    Though strictly speaking he could've just dualed to mage as early as level 2 and still had access that spell.

    Gorion is a member of the Harpers and in that business being able to heal would be pretty useful. I don't see in principle why that couldn't be his special ability - lots of NPCs have those, not just Bhaalspawns.

    Harpers also sometimes have "unusual" spells, like Jaheira who is able to cast two cleric-only spells despite being a druid.

    This was one of those changes that when I noticed it, I went, "That doesn't doesn't seem entirely necessary. Oh well." and then I forgot about it.

    In my headcanon Gorion was an alien copied by a doppelganger possesed by a demon who dual classed from Shaman (2) to Abjurer.

    Beamdog ruined the game to me!!!
