epic level abilities bug

messy

hello,

it's been many years since i've played bg (and have never played the enhanced edition), but i remember a bug in which epic multiclassed characters had so many epic level abilities to choose from that there wasn't enough room for them all on the screen. as a result, not all choices were available.

has anyone else seen this bug? was it ever addressed?

It's not a problem in the enhanced edition.

good to hear.

To put it simply - the abilities selection screen in the EE is a list, with a scroll bar. Here's a picture:



(This was obtained by creating a new F/M/T and giving them 8 million XP immediately)

The same visual elements are used in the other parts of the level-up process; proficiency selection is a similar list, which requires scrolling for warriors.

Only two classes had this bug (the triple-classes, FMC and FMT) and it was addressed in the first release thanks to the BG2 Fixpack integration. Note that they still don't get the full selection of mage HLAs--only the 'extra level 6/7/8 spell' abilities are available since they cannot reach level 9 spells with the XP cap.

edit: And in case you were wondering, you can add those 9th level spells to the table and they'll work just fine. I've set a reminder for the next Tweaks to do that when it removes the XP cap.
