ToB

Discussion in 'BG2: Throne of Bhaal (Classic)' started by antoine, May 12, 2001.

    Forgive me if this question was allready asked and correct me if i'm wrong, because i haven't read this board for about a week. OK, here it goes, in ToB you have one extra map and the expension is further played after the BG2 story (??)

    But when you started a game without the expension and install this later, can you continue this game with the new special things?

    Sure. WHen you almost end the game a final save will be created and I think that you need the final save to play the Throne of Bhaal expansion.

    so you can start a new game ToB with the same experience as the end of BG2, that's great (but maybe in the beginning a little easy)

    [​IMG] Perhaps I am a bit dollwitted here. I didn't find an answer at
    http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/BG2/tob_features.php

    If I Load the final-save does my maincharacter get all of the gifts from hell? (Hence magic resistance etc)
    As I can see, the time counter on the final-save is before I begin collecting the tears.

    If I reload my own "final save" I'll have to defeat Irenicus one more time before getting ToB started

    [​IMG] now I read it again, and everytime I see the features of TOB, it always says, new spells like the bigby's hand & wish (wish is not hard to guess) but what the devil is bigby's hand???

    I don't play the pen & paper game if it's known to them, and haven't been able to find any info on it, on the net

    does anyone know what it does`???

    I you want to know about the Bigby's hand thing then, yes, it is from the proper Ad&d game. What this spell does could be a number of things, as in the proper game there are several spells going by this name, and that these spsells do a number of things. The affects can be from a simple giant disembodied hand which prevents anything smaller from a Dragon from getting past, to a flying clenched, disembodied fist pulverising the opponent from a distance

    [​IMG] sounds like one mean knockout to me =)

    just wondering, if all these powerfull new spells are going to be lvl 9, aren't alot of the existing lvl 9 going to be underpowered? (I think powerword kill seem weak enough allready, caus' of the late entrance and powerfull enemies (lots o' hp), though against a demi-lich I see the potentiel)
