Improvements to the game

You know, at some point during ToB, I'd like to have the same thing happen with Irenicus as happened with Sarevok -- he joins your group after you bring him back from hell or something similar. Having Jon Irenicus in your group would be cool.

A quest to have Aerie get her wings back would be sweet, too.

I also wish that reputation and alignment meant more to the game than they do -- unless you are a Paladin or Ranger, violating your alignment really has no penalties, especially for evil characters -- there should be a penalty for evil characters being too good.

 

Are you sure? Weimer and his crew are making Icewind Gate - conversion of Baldur's Gate 2 to Icewind Dale 2 interface and rules. If they can do that, they can do anyting.

That will fix some features, such is the one with shields and 2h swords.

 

Yes they are doing this but this is bringing the content from one game to the other without making changes to the game's rules. Modding to add content is relatively easy, changing the actual rules by which the game operates is considerably more difficult.

 

Actually... it's pretty easy. I started implementing a system pretty much as was described for the DLTC, and the problem was not the technical implementation, but the balancing of the changes made in terms of play.

I might add that I pretty much scrapped the idea because I did not have the time to spend playtesting and balancing it.

 

I just thought of some more -- Undead Hunters should turn undead at their regular level, instead of 2 levels lower than their level like ordinary paladins. Also, high Intelligence should grant warriors more weapons proficiencies, and mages with high Intelligence should get more spells initially. There should be a special button for backstabbing so you don't have to fiddle around trying to move a thief into position. Mages should be able to scribe scrolls. Druids and Rangers should have their own set of Animal Companions.

I wish I were a programming type!
