#baldur's gate 2

[blighted-elf]

Re-creating my favourite Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 party in BG3 (x)

[luckyjak]

i will not be accepting criticism at this time, or ever.

[thunderboltfire]

The complete base BG2 party roster in Darkest Dungeon style!

Some of them were used in this scene

I thought that the stylisation is way too fun to limit it to my in-game party (and besides, I sometimes switch party members anyway).

The models (sans my Charname, and including background with Athkatla sewers and Othyugh) are downloadable and usable under CC BY-NC-SA.

download via st.ash and via google disk (maybe I'll find a way to host in somewhere else later). Enjoy!

"play baldur's gate 1 and 2", they said. "it will be fun", they said

I fucking LOVE how loyal the companions are to each other... and how their relationships are evolving with both each other and the player.

to all those people who think Larian is copying Dragon Age... well Dragon Age would never have this. where all the very fucked up companions who are in this shit together actually recognise that fact with common sense and they support each other despite any differences. Not only that BUT they recognise the similarities they have with each other and support each other based on that fact

Example: Astarion-Gale (how Astarion comments "he is a man of taste" if the player is a little annoyed with Gale and if player says that he wants to suck out magic lol Or when Gale is supportive like the "don't do it Astarion, it's not worth it, trust me, I know the temptation only too well" and so on...)

If this was dragon age then they would talk to each other like "how typical, ofc you are like this, dickhead" and trying to be helpful and supportive would be a 1 in a billion dialogue. they would only make shit worse for each other. and look... interpersonal conflicts could be a fun driving force of plot but in da it mostly doesn't drive the plot. they are just making shit worse for the other person even when it makes no sense and when they should be more friendly and understanding based on their own struggles.

Another example: Wyll-Karlach (their conflict actually does start the plot. it has a significance, it's not there for no reason. but even after that initial conflict they immediately become understanding of each other and supportive. they both dislike devils, they both want to escape from that situation etc. and they don't act like idiots who don't see that they are in this together. even though one of them tried to kill the other. one of them received horns because of the other. )

I could go on... but whatever, you get the picture. I just like this type of writing for interactions between characters.

My new headcanon is that Jaheira is pretty much a campfire scary story boogeyman to vampires by the time of BG3, which is why Cazador strictly forbids his spawn from getting anywhere near her neighbourhood/territory. Despite the fact that he was more than happy to send Astarion after the kids of an entire group of professional monster hunters, like he was practically daring them to try and stop him. Like he was taunting them with their impotence, and we know he generally feels deeply contemptuous about non-vampires from all the "cattle" remarks etc.

But Jaheira? Oh, she terrifies him. This is the woman who helped take out an entire coven of vampires in BG2, back when vampires were actually scary. She helped kill a high-level master vampire who was sibling and partner in crime to a certain very formidable elven archmage, after all; a vampire who wasn't only dangerous in herself, but for whom every single other vampire she commanded was likewise a genuine, serious threat you did not take at all lightly. Ever. You didn't have the right magical protections in place when those vampires decided to ambush you without warning? Congrats, you just died in three hits. As did the rest of your party.

To someone who's faced and defeated Bodhi? Cazador is an insect. The only reason he's even survived as long as he has is because Jaheira didn't know about him yet.
