You can actually produce some absolute gems of portraits if you give it the right prompt and I have been using self-created portraits as the standard for my new PCs. It just takes some thinking about your description This was considered a bad reputation in the middle ages

The key to enjoying AI art is to not look too close. And hundreds of prompts

Did you add the paper doll in? I'm fairly sure you can do that quite easily

You have to play a very particular way to get Imoen to the levels in both Thief and Mage she is supposed to be at. Now that SoD exists, I leave her as a thief and never level her beyond 7. She learns her Mage skills after the events of the story and has a reputable teacher to do it with. Works...

I think about this often since the role playing aspect factors heavily into my enjoyment of the game. Basically, I think Mage, Paladin, and Bard are all the easiest choices to justify, role-playing wise. Gorion would gladly guide you down any of these paths, and you have guides and influences...

Ishlilka can be found again just outside of the Ducal Palace, I believe. It's been some time since I playtested my own mod, i'm going to have to confirm that now. But she remains with you for the expansion and has SoD quest content.

Do I spy Tenya Therimidor and Ishlilka in the party? I thought Tenya's mod was a brilliant idea, not only well done, but it's one of the original in-game characters that felt like they could have been a companion. I felt like it totally fit. I apologize for never finishing Ishlilka's BG2...

I haven't seen original Baldurs Gate in so long. I need to do a true BG run myself, without my usual modded setup.

I tend to agree that Firetooth is the best late game, even if you are using it in melee since it is an apr weapon. There is a longbow somewhere in the Firkraag questline that gives something crazy like +7 to thac0 once per day. I used that on a thief build I describe below when I really needed...

If you're using everything available to you, I still think thief thac0 is manageable for what you need it for. For example, bless, aid, and chant are all level 1-2 priest spells and combined add an additional +3 (and an effective luck point via the chant effect). I've gone the stabby thief route...

You could go human fighter for 3 levels then do your dual class to thief. You get a ton for basically nothing: Higher hp Eventual grandmastery Extra base 1/2 apr Access to fighter equipment out the gate like the helm Higher thac0 and damage through exceptional strength until you grab the...

I think a vanilla thief works out just fine, or bounty hunter. Traps are your friend especially at low levels. A level 1 trap from a level 1 thief will one-shot a lot of enemies you will encounter. I would suggest getting that skill up first, and then stealth. Stealth can be enhanced through...

Completely agreed here. I learned, from my mother, to try to be that person.

I know, i'm joking of course. They clearly plan to do some modern graphic remake using 5th edition rules. But, not joking here, if they don't have modding tools and are not developing with those in mind they won't be doing the game justice and don't really understand the longevity of these games.

If it's not compatible with my mods we're gonna have a big problem

If you have Mass Domination on any of your psionics, now is the time to use it. Every enemy you convert to your side is one that isn't shooting arrows at you. For that matter, even a single 2nd level cleric spell works for this strat even if its single target. Find a well-placed enemy in front...

"A Pale Master/Monk makes for a potent adversary." I always thought this advice from NWN's loading screens was silly, probably the worst build one could make, but it turns out I was wrong. All you need is improved expertise and add a little to your defensive stats. The +6 from Pale Master will...

There are so many good modules, new and old. It's a gold mine. I also like Good vs. Evil 3, which is basically a mass battle simulator, good if you want to level up a character whose background is a veteran of some war or other. There is an online version played under the name of NWN-Players...

The vanilla PnP system supports that playstyle as an agent of the Sorcerer-King. The class is called Templars, they get minor clerical magic from their devotion to the sorcerer-kings, and the higher level they are the more people they can arbitrarily imprison and extort. There is also a Trader...
