Well you need something to do when you've finished your adventuring career. Why not owning a museum of magic weapons? That'd be cool. Mind you, you'd have trouble with thieves trying to help themselves. So you'd need magic traps! And ordinary ones too. And some more traps! A couple more traps to protect your really precious and supremely valuable Moonblade certainly wouldn't go amiss, and if somone tried to detect and disable the traps then you'd need to have the traps trapped too.
What's the Moonblade like if I had chosen to take Xan with me? Any good? Not the best sword in the game I wouldn't have thought, but I'm still curious as to its powers.

Its crap. Do you know why? Becuase only Xan can use it. His Thac0 is so poor, and he'll never have more than 1 attack per round. Even if the sword did 6d6+52 points of damage it would still suck*

And what adventurer want to set themselves up as a target for more adventurers to come and attack them? I mean a museum of magic weapons, heavily guarded and trapped. That will attract every adventurer in the world like flies

*Although if it did, I would import it into BG2 and give it to a thief with Use Any Items for the pure cheezy taste we all love so well.

Yes, it won't let you install it without that (it checks and tells you).

I did.

Thanks for the suggestion Doc, I'll try it and hope. How do I scan the drive though? Defrag it?

Try right-clicking on the C drive in "My Computer" and there could well be a option to scan the disc.

Well with Win2k if you installed to your system drive you can run chkdsk from 'start' then 'run'. Not sure what utility XP has. You can also select any drive from my computer and right click then properties, and there is a drive checking tool in 'tools'. I think that would pick up free space reporting errors.

Thanks Doc and Jamski. However I've decided to sod the whole thing, format the drive, and reinstall both BG, BGII and ToB, then the patches, then Tutu, and then finally Kelsey, Chloe and the flirt pack. Then I will start a game as a Ranger, who will be dualled to a Cleric about the start of BGII. Although I am tempted with a half-elven multiclass, but I think that levels up too slowly, so the dual class it is

Have reformatted, scanned and found no errors. Tried to reinstall BGI. Now shows 1337MB free, when there's actually 9.3GB. Tried installing it on other partitions, and it shows 2047MB on all, regardless on how much is actually there, even when there's less than that.

Setup.ini shows this, if it helps:

You'll have to ask some tech people. It sounds like the installer isn't reading your HD properly. There is a way of MANUALLY doing a full install, by copying the contents of discs 2-5 into the right folders... Ummm I can't say what those proper folders would be though

I installed BG1 on my old 'puter the other day and, while it told me that there were only 1.5 gigs of free space (real number was close to six), it did carry out the full install of over two gigs properly without a hitch. *shrug*

Ok so it isn't Windows misreading the free space, but the game. There's no problem unless it whinges about installing when there is not enough room.

You should install BG1 anyway and check it works fine. It probably will, as long as it installs. Then you can eliminate this a cause for your tutu problem, about which I have no idea.

Quick question: Do I load BGI or BGII to play Tutu?

	27-03-2004 22:32									#77

BG2. It's like an addon or an extra campaign for BG2. I do believe the startup screen has been modified so that it'll be impossible to not find your way from there.

I've just DLed BG1Tutu Assistant from here because it showed the problems I've been having and a way to fix it. However it's a .sit file, and I have no ideas what that is, or how to open it. Any ideas?

.sit files are files compressed with Stuff It. Do a Google search for "Stuff it expander" and download a (never ending) trial version.

Actually, I don't know this one

If they're just a mage kit (which I think they are) you can dual FROM Wild Mage to Theif, Fighter or Cleric, but not TO Wild Mage.

And you certainly can't have them as part of a multiclass.

W00t Got Tutu working

Have now started a party with a Ranger. He dual wields maces, has 3* in DW, 2 in Mace, and 1 in Sling. Will go up 1 more in sling, before going up in Warhammer. So far I'm at the friendly arm inn, and have just met Khalid and Jaheira

I think there are plenty of good maces.

sometimes I give Minsc one in BG2. For use on clay golems and such. Also he gets the mace of disruption a lot of times to use on undead.

That is not his main weapon of course. That is one of his backups.

I have Minsc dual wielding maces all the time in BG2, particularly the Mace of Disruption. Negative plane protection, berserk and let him loose.

It's just too bad I couldn't use Azuredge in the off hand, I would have used it as a melee weapon, honest! In Throne of Bhaal though I'm using a mix of bastard swords and maces. The Skullcrusher is pretty nifty when you get it, and there are rather nice morningstars in ToB too.

My PC is a Paladin so he's toting Carsomyr or dual wielding any cool longswords and I've made Valygar into a considerable tank with some dragon armour and the Crom Feyr. I think he still doesn't have any proficiency points in warhammers but his thac0 with it is somewhere close to -13. It's just a shame the CF isn't that enchanted, so I may have to dual wield something else to make use of the str bonus with tougher guys.
