Can I fix bugs only with these mods?

Livonya did her modding purely by figuring out stuff and scripting before ToEEWB.

 

I'd say that Gnarley Woods content... or whatever
it was called. I mean yeah, we had a new map, new
cool monsters (Bodaks!). But a witch and a rifle!? That
just did not appeal to me... and it imbalanced the game
quite badly.

Bit off topic, though.

I'll just add that you can easily avoid new content, apart
from some you will really like. New masterwork weapons
which will let your characters use other weapons than just
longswords.

 

i took it as he wanted both - he wanted to run the game patched THEN try the mods (what im doing)
but "some degree of disingenuousness" is a fair explaination since someone Immediately told him how to do that... 9ie this should have ended on the second post)
and he didn't LISTEN
and then everyone got all defensive...
i guess people are thin-nerved from that - and people who don't listen well can get offended when its.. uh.. made embarrassing?
and then everyone got all defensive...:transform

which is the part i was TOTALLY lost on and said; need a GAEAR to navigate...

Ive done some minor modding-playtest and some OLD QA work; but nothing ever related to RPG; or these people ; or dare i say;
'cast of characters'

so thanks for the explaination...

 

I'm sort of a modder-in-training now that I'm retired(forced). I search the sites looking for downloads, etc, but nothing can touch co8. My Documents is getting bigger,but I've got lots of space. When you're the best you don't have to worry about negative comments from less productive sources. I was wondering why you don't refer Sorcerer's Place to the "newbies" It's really good.

 

Then you shouldn't be interested in ever playing whichever Baldur's
Gate it was that had the Machine of Lum the Mad in it; or the PnP adventure Baba Yaga's Hut, which contained a Soviet T-34. For that matter, you can skip Expedition to the Barrier Peaks altogether, which has grenades, lazers, blasters, and all sorts of weird alien weaponry in it from Metamorphasis Alpha. The precedent of having strange artifacts is well established; it's obvious that they can be unbalancing, it's just up to us to make sure they don't become unbalancing...hence the entire rebalancement project. Things like that must have their power(s) limited.

 

Well... I agree, it is interesting and possible...
especially with the idea of the multiverse and all...
but it was a little too exotic for me I guess.
Oh, I thought that Baldurs Gate had more of
steampunk-styled technology instead of lasers...
Come to think of it it might be cool in PnP but, as
you already pointed out, dangerous for a computer
game.

Then again, I guess it's a tribute to the modules you
were mentioning as well as to oldschool D&D players
such as you, who enjoyed these modules. As a member
of the new D&D generation I was not even aware of their
presence, so I guess it's my bad to be so harsh on the
matter.


PS. Not that I have something against witches, it's
just the combination of a witch with a rifle may sound
absurd to an unaware player.

 

Re: talk about a lost thread!

but about the tech stuff

i ahd forgotten all about metamorphasis alpha!
bcas it was just something in my friends collection... never played it

and EXPEDITION TO THE BARRIER PEAKS!
The crashed spaceship 'dungeon'?

but i DEFINITELY recall my copy of DMG having rules for Boot Hill and i want to say-
was it Gamma world? characters interacting with D&d...

some of the old greyhawk pamphlets have the red/black /white martians in their wandering encounter tables..

and if i recall correctly; isn't OERTH actually a world recovered from a (possibly nuclear)
holocaust?

so the warhammer series doesn't have a monopoly on weird dimension hopping cross over...

are you guys going to move this thread to genral discussion now?

 

Weirdo

For the record, I love DH.

 

I DM'd the original P&P ToEE in the ADD rules. Thanks to a group of imaginative players, it was one of our best campaigns ever. As you can imagine, I was ecstatic when I heard that it would be released as a PC game. Was I disappointed! It was lame and buggy.

Along came The Circle of Eight, to save the day! You've turned a let-down into hours- no, months of fun. All of the "weird" content is great. To desire it's absence is like wanting a Big-mac instead of filet mignon.

I only wish I could do what you guys do; I have many ideas. and I very eagerly await KOTB.

Keep on doing that voodoo that you do so well!

 

First: You guys are doing magnificent work with a game I was about trash. Now I'm stashing every spare penny until I can get my comp. again, install ToEE and patch it DL Co8 mods and begin anew. Anyone who wants to try and piss on your efforts clearly has no idea what you've actually accomplished, or they do, and can't stop soiling themselves.

Second: "The savage Coast" campaign setting implemented firearms in a, IMO, balancing and intriguing way. Not that this particularly aids in the current topic, just throwing it in for conversation's sake.
