    1] Where in EEKeeper is the option to change your lore setting/score?

    2] Does it really matter getting Yoshimo to level 13 before changing him to a Mage? Obviously I "adjusted" his Int score using EEKeeper ;)

    If you are going to dual Yoshimo to a mage you might as well do it as early as possible unless you have no thief after you dual in which case hold off until you can get one.

    Personally I think he is better as a bounty hunter but that my just be me.

    If you just want to have everything in the game identified there is a mod for that. I think BG2 tweaks has one for example from G3.

    I'm dualing Yoshimo to a Thief/Mage because he is my Mage until I get Immy back. Plus I am a Bounty Hunter myself (never tried one before) :p
    I don't know why but I have to be some sort of Thief for my main character. Weather dualing or multi-class. I know there are a few other thieves out there but for some reason I have to fill that roll myself. Usually I'm a Fighter dualed to a Thief. I played a FTM once but man did it take him a while to level. Lol.
    I've done the Thief Mage like Immy, Nalia & Jan but usually I don't pick up a Thief. Which is a shame because I really like Jan :)
    I always use Yoshi unfortunately so I don't have to decide who to ditch otherwise.
    Of course I could always put the Thief in the front of the party so as to be like my main character but then I have to go picking the REAL main character to do the dialog. Again, don't know why I can't deal with doing it that way. Just OCD or something I guess :rolleyes:

    Is the BG tweaks from G3 compatible with BG2EE?

    There is a version of tweaks that is BG2EE compatible as I have it on my installation.

    Since your main character is part thief (I feel you on liking being a part time thief I always want thief skills too which is why I wish my monk could do it like they could in 1e) I would switch Yoshi right away as waiting serves no real purpose especially if you are going to get Imoen. The longer you wait the longer you go without a mage which it sounds like you need and there is no magic level for a good thief when you are not going to need him for thieving (since you will be able to handle it on your own).

    I seem to be doing something wrong with the installation of the BG2 tweak pack. I'm trying to install it into my BG2EE directory [C:bad:Users\Jeff\Documents\Baldur's Gate II - Enhanced Edition] but when I run the program it says:

    "FATAL ERROR: Failure("Not a game directory")
    Press ENTER to exit."

    It actually has the quotes in the brackets. I didn't add them.
    I'm pretty sure that's the default directory.


    The website I got it from says:
    "Alternatively the files can be extracted from the archive using WinRAR. If properly extracted, you should have a bg2_tweaks folder and setup-bg2_tweaks.exe in your BG2 folder. To install, simply double-click Setup-bg2_tweaks.exe and follow the instructions on screen."

    I don't get anything that needs "WinRAR". Just the "bg2_tweaks-v14" file.
    I don't see any "RAR" files on the site for D/L? When I run the tweaks file it installs a bunch of folders though so I'm guessing that's what they mean?
    I do get the "bg2_tweaks folder and setup-bg2_tweaks.exe in your BG2 folder." though.


    It also says (in the URL):
    "http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=695"


    Don't know why it says forums. If you look at the page itself it says it's on the D/L page not forums. Weird. Lol.

    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong? Any thoughts?
    Hope all of that makes sense?
