the disguise was probably being in Candlekeep in the first place. In my first playthrough recently i didnt accept the ring because it felt like i wouldve been dumb to take a random ring from a random c**t after a whole game of a good 45% of items being cursed. I didnt even recognise that "Koveras" was anything of note, dude just looked sketchy.
game falls apart slightly at that point anyway because regardless of what you do you get thrown in prison and shuffled along to the last act
Reminder that the best way to play BG1 is the original. EE replaced the original BG1 system with the BG2 system, which is vastly different. BG1 was designed around the BG1 system.
Also, the best way to play BG2 is only install Shadows of Amn. Do not add the 2 bonus merchants. Do not install TOB.
It's sometimes fun to take some builds to tob and not even only the powergaming ones just to really see them come together. With SCS (and other mods) of course.
But I know this is a specific flavour of autism that's not for everyone.
>nowadays
they couldnt even surpass it in the sequel. Its like everytime something manages to go slightly right game devs never just do it again and come up with all these mental gymnastics to excuse why changing the formula is good
its not that i think its a bad game per se, but yeah its clear as glass that it was designed perfectly well and then fricked up execution wise the second you start getting 4 sidequests every 3 steps, multiple hours in one location and then literally 10 minutes in another.
Ive spent the last two weeks inbetween Tradesmeet and Windspear Hills doing about a quest or two per session and its like everytime you finish one and go >"ah its finally over, now t-"
some bint walks up to the party and goes >O MILORD ISS SO TERRIBO, MI SON YSEE, 'IS GIRLFRIEND'S DOG'S POTION SELLER FROM CALIMSHAN CANT AFFORD MEDICINE FOR HIS SKIN DANCER POISONED MOTHER'S DEAD GOD, WILD ANIMAL, NEEBER BIX NOOD
and it starts to fall apart as the journey BG1 was and firmly places you in "band of adventures doing literally anything but the main plot simulator" that so many games since have become. the mystery of BG1 allowed more than enough time for side adventures because you technically had no idea what the frick you were supposed to be doing or who was behind it
its fine, turns out it was just a stomach ache from a goblin he ate in windspear hills or someshit. the same windspear hills you just came back from to cure the level drain from the Vampire cum room
all of them according to you because youre a spastic
that's not even the ending
Non-midwits figured out Sarevok was their brother in Candlekeep.
>this fat merchant disguise is just the antagonists name… but spelled backwards
Truly, it was a more innocent time

>best way to play the trilogy is to omit the third part
moron
TOB is shit.
It’s worth playing once to finish the story but it has close to zero replay value
Agreed.

I disagree, the first game plays a lot differently based on your companions and charisma score. But I just love playing the game so I’m biased.
Do you know what TOB stands for?
nta
>best way to play BG2
>trilogy
were you dropped on your head as baby or smth?
PS
ToB is completely shit, in fact one is better of playing SoD
>SoD
gb2r
No this is the best way to play BG1
He's ce you fricking moron
Not an RPG.
Ridiculous that this game can't be surpassed at all. Clearly game devs are talentless cuckolds nowadays.

I do agree, but bg2 is still a good game and was even designed as a better game than what we got. Bg2 was hwavily cut. Tob was a mean cash grab.

Damn elves. I bet they had something to do with this.

Poor doggo 🙁
