Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal - Ascension solo Please read this first / Bitte zuerst lesen (deutsche Version weiter unten)
Well, the title says (More) Please read this first / Bitte zuerst lesen (deutsche Version weiter unten)
Well, the title says it all... kinda.
This is the final battle of the Ascension mod for BG2. The difficulty is set to "insane" (if you pay attention you can see that in the first second ^^). The character is all alone, except for his clone, summons and Balthasar as his ally. So... technically I'm still solo :P
Some information just in case something appears odd to you:
- my game is (obviously) modded. You can ask if something's unclear but it's not unlikely that it's related so some fix/tweak/whatever introduced by one of the mods
- my quickslots are filled with scrolls of Protection from Magic Weapons, Timestop and a Wand of Spell Striking
- the character is a Fighter/Mage/Cleric
- it's the German version, if you wonder about the voices
Now something about the battle itself: I could have done better. Way better. Like say, not letting your clone cast Timestop seconds before... it... disappears. Or using more hotkeys. Using the hotkeys faster. Not only refraining from using other abilites than spellcasting, especially with Improved Alacrity. Minor things mostly.
If you have any advice, I'd appreciate it ;)
One last thing: I didn't upload this to show off. One reason I wanted to do such a video is that I'm trying to parody certain guys uploading videos with themes like "OMG! LOOK! I'm owning this dragon with my level 30 sorcerer! LOOK! I'm SOOOOO good!". Not only that those videos are kinda stupid (Adalon vs. planetar anyone?)... the players aren't even "good", lose precious time and thus fail to show everyone their "1337-skillz" (or whatever...). Maybe I'll do more videos in the future... maybe not. Any requests? ;)
Comments are of course appreciated. Sorry about the quality by the way.

Na ja, steht ja eigentlich schon alles im Titel.
Das ist halt der Endkampf von BG2 mit installierter Ascension-Mod. Der Schwierigkeitsgrad ist auf „verrückt" gesetzt (wenn man aufpasst, kann man das in der ersten Sekunde erkennen ^^). Der Charakter ist ganz alleine, na ja, wenn man mal vom Klon, den Beschwörungen und Balthasar als Verbündeten absieht. Also... technisch gesehen bin ich solo :P
Hier noch ein paar Infos, falls irgendwas komisch erscheint:
- mein Spiel ist (offensichtlich) gemodded. Man kann natürlich immer fragen, wenn was unklar ist, aber es ist nicht allzu unwahrscheinlich, dass es in Verbindung zu irgendeinem Fix/Tweak/wasauchimmer steht, der aus irgendeiner Mod stammt
- die Quickslots sind mit Schriftrollen von Schutz vor magischen Waffen und Zeitstop, sowie einem Stecken des Zauberschlags gefüllt
- der Charakter ist ein Kämpfer/Magier/Kleriker
So, jetzt mal was zum Kampf selbst: ich hätte es besser machen können. Viel besser. Sagen wir mal, nicht den Klon Zeitstop casten lassen, wenn er Sekunden danach verschwindet. Oder mehr Hotkeys nutzen. Die Hotkeys schneller nutzen. Nicht nur Zauber, sondern auch die anderen Fähigkeiten mehr nutzen, insbesondere mit Verbesserter Beschleunigung Hauptsächlich kleinere Dinge.
Wenn irgendwer einen Tipp hat, ich würde ihn gerne hören ;)
Noch eine letzte Sache: ich hab das Video nicht hochgeladen um rumzuprollen. Ein Grund, warum ich so ein Video machen wollte ist, dass ich versuche so Spezialisten, die Videos mit Themen wie „OMG! GUCK DOCH MAL! Ich owne den Drachen mit meinem Level 30 Hexer! GUCK DOCH MAL! Ich bin SOOOOO gut!" hochladen zu parodieren. Ich meine, ist ja nicht nur so, dass diese Videos irgendwie dümmlich sind (Na, wer will Adalon gegen nen Planetar kämpfen sehen?)... die Spieler sind nicht einmal „gut", verschwenden kostbare Zeit und schaffens dann im Endeffekt doch nicht ihre „1337-Skillz" (oder was auch immer...) zu demonstrieren. Vielleicht mache ich in Zukunft noch mehr Videos... vielleicht nicht. Irgendwelche Vorschläge oder Wünsche? ;)
Kommentare sind natürlich gerne gesehen. 'tschuldigung wegen der Qualität. (Less)

Role Playing Games - What Are They All About?
A role-playing game (RPG) is a type of game where players assume the roles of imaginary characters in a scenario created by the game developer and vicariously experience the adventures of these characters.
In role-playing games players often team up to generate narratives. The play progresses according to a preset scheme of rules and strategy, within which players may invent liberally. Player options shape the course and conclusion of role-playing games.
Role-playing games are usually more gung-ho and casual fun than competitive. A role-playing game unites its participants into a single team that fights as a group. A role-playing game rarely has winners or losers. This makes role-playing games uniquely different from board games, card games, sports and other types of games. Role-playing games attract because they fire the players' imagination.
There are many different types of role-playing games. The PC-based RPG-s of today aren't an original genre; they are derived from board-based or real-life games that have been popular with children and even grown-ups for a long, long time. One such RPG might involve guests at a dinner party acting out suspects in a murder mystery, while another might involve players sitting around a bonfire and narrating parts of a story and rolling dice. Another RPG might consist of costumed participants recreating a medieval battle with padded armor and heavy weapons.
At their nucleus, role-playing games are a form of interactive and mutual storytelling. Simple forms of role-playing exist in traditional children's games such as "cops and robbers," "dogs and mailmen," "cowboys and Indians," and "playing house" or âdoctorâ.
The original form of role-playing game was the fantasy war game, inspired by brave knight and witchcraft lore and using minute figures and scale terrain grids to demonstrate action in a way similar to that of strategic war games.
Role-playing games have rules known usually as game mechanics. Almost all role-playing games require the participation of a game master (GM), who narrates the game session and acts as the moderator and rules arbitrator. The rest of the participants create and play inhabitants of the game setting, known as player characters (PCs). The player characters collectively are known as a "party".
Internet role-playing games range from graphical games such as EverQuest to simple text based games. They can also be divided into genres by the imaginary locale where they take place. Fantasy RPGs draw their inspiration from fantasy literature, such as the works of J. R. R. Tolkien. The best games in this field are Dungeons & Dragons, Exalted, Palladium Fantasy, RuneQuest, Legend of the Five Rings etc.
Science fiction RPGs are inspired by science fiction literature. The setting is generally in the future. The popular games are Rifts, Traveller, Cyberpunk 2020, Paranoia, Shadowrun and so forth.
Horror RPGs are inspired by horror literature. Horror RPGs can be divided into two groups. The first is inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft, focusing on humanity's fight against malevolent, extra-dimensional entities. The second centres around playing supernatural creatures, such as vampires, changelings, and werewolves. The top titles are Call of Cthulhu, Kult, World of Darkness Changeling: The Dreaming, Vampire: The Masquerade, Vampire: The Requiem, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Werewolf: The Forsaken, Hunter: The Reckoning, Orpheus, and Mage: The Ascension.
Historical RPGs, as you can probably imagine, take place in the past. Settings that have been explored in role-playing games include Pendragon (based on Arthurian legends), Sengoku (about Japanese warring states), Recon (regarding the Vietnam War), Fantasy Imperium (takes place in historical Europe).
Superhero role-playing games are inspired by superhero comic books and graphic novels. The major games are Champions, DC Heroes, Marvel Super Heroes, Mutants and Masterminds. (Less)
