Don't want wimpy Jan but Multi-player is annoying / Star Wars

Remove all ads!

I've been through the game with Jan before and he's a pain in the ass due to his pathetic hit points. I find his comments annoying but he's the only thief in the game really. (Bloody Yoshimo!!! )

I wished to just take an Assassin with me in Multi-player mode but little things like the Map screen not pausing really annoy me is there anyway this can be turned off?

I've taken my character all the way through BG and TotSC and now I've just started BG2 (with ToB installed). My proposed party is this:

PC: Maine (Evil Cleric to dual to Mage at level 14, Str: 16, Con: 17, Dex: 16, Int: 19, Wis: 21, Char: 3 (but 18 with that ring... by the way where is that?? Can't remember right now)

NPCs: Korgan, Viconia and Edwin + a thief and Saverok when I can get him (probably take Minsc or Keldorn but that is a nightmare from a RP point of view)

What shall I do??? It would be so ideal to take that evil assassin I made.. is there any way to make multi-player a little better?

Also I'm thinking of making an evil Star Wars crew (just for fun not to play with really)... Obviously The Emporer, Darth Vader, Darth Maul and Count Dooku... any ideas? I'll need Gatekeeper I'd imagine (I hate cheats)

Here are my initial plans... i have the sound files and that for Vader from this site but nothing for the others.

I was thinking that a Demon Knight kind of looks like Vader what do you reckon? He'd be a high level fighter with a few innate abilities. Mastery in katanas or something.

The Emporer... the cowled wizard figure?? A high level mage or sorcerer obviously with innate lightning skills (ha ha)

Maul I'm lost for ideas on... can't think of anything on GK that would help (not that I've actually got it installed, I mean from the game). He'd have mastery in Quaterstaffs.

Dooku... is there any character with a beard WITHOUT an Elminster/ Gandalf stylee hat??

Please offer some ideas peeps. and if anyone knows where the sounds and pics are downloadable (if at all) do tell.

Thanks all

NP.

 

You can save your MP game then put it into a single player file so that your 2 players (main char and extra asassin) are in your single player game

 

To get the Ring of Human Influence, you need to do the Circus quest.
Am I right in thinking that with ToB installed, even a single-player game doesn't pause on the map screen? So in that respect, it won't matter if you do a multi-player game to get another thief.

 

The game can be paused before going to the map screen and it will remain paused. Only way to pause on the map screen iirc.

 

There's an option youi can select, that will pause/not pause on map screens.

 

dooku could be a fighter/thief or swashbuckler (due to his nature) and for his weapon you could have single wield a scimitar or even a katana.

for vader you could use a paladin (make him fallen by doing evil stuff, as he did turn to the dark side) and have him wield a two handed sword or bastard sword. you could even use Episode 2 as an excuse for him to dual wield bastard/long swords (the anakin+obiwan vs dooku scene). make his colours black and pop a helmet onto him and you have an instant vader!!!

the quarterstaff for maul sounds cool, he could be a Kensai. i dont know about an image for him though.

good luck!!!

 

How can you do this?????

 

Sleepless, there should be two folders in your savegame folder. One called Single, one called Multi. Go into the Multiplayer folder, find the folder that holds your game, and copy it over to your single-player folder.

 

Thank you Rastor I never thought it would be that easy!

By the way it's SleepleSS not Sleepless I'm not an Anathema song or in seatle or something. The Capital SS stands for the Satanic S what means Destroyer. So actually it's Sleepless Destroyer or in short: SleepleSS Got it?

Thanks again, and let's move back to the topic...

 

For the "not pausing on the map screen" problem, you should be able to disable that in the CONFIG program.
You could also try Haer'Dalis instead of Minsc/Keldorn/Sarevok(since you won't get Sarevok for a while yet...) for now, as he's Chaotic Neutral, it wouldn't be so bad from a RP point-of-view.

 

You could also just stick with what you have -- a smaller party levels up more quickly. You've already got a fighter, a cleric and a mage. If you're an assassin, you got theiving covered too.
