I just started BG2 again the other day, and imported my dude from BG1 (may be relevant?). I've noticed the fireball spell doesn't look right when Nalia uses it, but when other enemies have used it on me it looks right. Her fireball looks like a cloud spell at first, with a foggy ball shooting out, and the fireball itself lookslioke red, radiating lines from a central point. The color is extinguished very fast. It does the damage and doesn't effect gameplay, but I was wondering if anyone had this happen or knows what's up? I installed the patch, too.

Well, my memory must not be up to par, but I thought I remembered different animations last time. As for enemies, I seem to remember seeing a fireball somewhere (Druid Grove?), in the old style with some flame remnants on my party, but maybe I'm mixing up the types from all of the games...

Heh, it's no bug. The fireball animation was changed for BG2. And I'm not really sure where you could have seen the original from BG1, since all enemies use the changed animation as well. That's normal in BG2. Seeing the BG1 animation isn't.
