[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7848663, member: 6895991"] Well you could put in all kind of stoppers, auto pause on this autopause on that etc. I really love BG series and I did replay all of it recently when steam brought out the remastered stuff. But some things were really annoying: The scripting never worked out like you would expect, especially for casters. The best solution was to have your mages remember all kind of nasty debuffers like emotion or chaos, sleep for the earlier levels, then you could run the game commode. Going for evocation / conjuration spells did not work out well. I never did get any of the scripted guys to cast an acid arrow and I still wonder why. All that casters would do is spam magic missile on the evocation side. With clerics the same, they spammed command if you gave it to them but hold person? Just does not happen. Also druids, never ever give your druid the entangle spell. It ties your party firmly to the ground, so that's a friendly "fire" for you. What would have been nice in BG would be some kind of graphic aid helping you to place some area effect. They had it back in the darksun and wake of the ravager games which were clearly predecessors, engine wise, why didn't they continue this nice help function? [/QUOTE]
