So that I don't derail RBT again...

Some ToB items are available. And yeah bags of holding are one of them. I think the string references are fucked though. Last time I checked, they still pointed to ToB dlg.tlk entries. Not that it matters in any way.

 

Yep, it doesn't really affect anything.

Side note: Is profanity filter turned off?

 

If you do have the tweak pack installed, I'm pretty sure the bag of holding is only available in Baldur's Gate. Don't quite remember where the ammo belt is, though. I tend to just give myself the various bags, cases, and what not through SK.

 

The correct bag of holding (that doesnt contain items when you console it in) is BAG31. theres no getting around the string error displayed as the container name when its opened but works as intended in all other respects.
You can get the potion bag at thalantyr's shop in high hedge, the scroll case off firebead in beregost once you bring him a copy of the faithful coin, and a gem bag from neera once you recruit her into your party.
There's not an ammo bag available (though i assume you could console that in as well.)

 

I know what you mean.. i usually go on solo runs, and even though i don't need to carry much, i always cheat in a bag of holding as well. i know i'll end up with more gold then things to spend it on, and that i won't get to keep any of the loot for bg2, but i still *need* to collect everything.

 

Well, there is. The string are there, inside dialog.tlk, they just didn't bother fixing the numbers on the items because they're not included in the game.

It takes about a minute to fix with any editor if you're bothered by it (like I was).

 

Well sure - i meant more of a way to get rid of it in-game without editing game files, i should have specified.
Still, i was never all that bothered by it, for the better part of the game i even stopped noticing it completely.

 

That's one of the things I've never done before. Rasaad's alignment just doesn't mesh very well with my playstyle.

Also, why would the XP cap be odd?

 

Yeah, the no death dialog from gamaz problem has been around for ages now - i've had it on all my playthroughs of the EE so far. i've been able to get the dialog maybe once or twice through continuous reloads, though when it did work i have no idea what caused it to do so..

As far as the exp cap goes, even though there's really not that much extra exp to be gained through the companion content, i guess they didn't want players to be able to get too overpowered. that said, there is a cap remover available on the beamdog forums for the enhanced edition, and i guess that with the dragonspear expansion the cap will be raised at least a little bit.

 

It's optional content and really short. It seems pointless to raise the cap, which was strategically placed at that point to curb the exponential power growth of characters, just for that.

 

Yeah, quests not registering as completed is a notorious problem, most notably the ones where you can finish the quest, but still receive an update on it afterwards.
One example would be melicamp the chicken - it's possible to find him, bring him to thalantyr and save him, making the quest register as completed, then return to the area where you found him initially - and talk to a wandering npc called kessiq that comments on having seen melicamp (probably to point you in the direction of the quest if you havn't started it) which will put a journal entry back under active quests that simply will not go away since you already finished the quest.

Quests that have more then 1 quest giver fall in this category as well - one obvious example being minsc/edwin and dynaheir. if you accept the quest from minsc and save dynaheir then return later and accept edwin's offer to help him track her down and kill her, the 2nd entry will be stuck forever in your journal.
another example of this is angel the cat in central baldur's gate - you can accept both petrine and bheren's quest to either steal the ring to lure angel, or to simply kill angel, at the same time.
if you then steal the ring and give it to petrine, the cat dissapears, but bheren's part of the quest will still be listed as active.

Worse, even some of the entries added by the EE content suffer from this problem - i've had multiple instances where i was never able to get dorn il-khan's quest entries to register as completed.
