I've done some testing myself, with and without the Fixpack, so I can tell the changes work. However, even if you just install this version and say "Yeah, the Kidnapping of Boo worked for me" or "Yep, Suna Seni was okay", it would be a huge help.

I am sorry to say that at present I can't invest time in testing v20....  :(

If (and I hope not) you still need testers in a month or so I think I will be available then. However I am not a BG2 UB player either... (I played BG2 last 10 years ago!)

Okay, I'll level with you. There's one cool piece of unfinished business that may make it into the mod or be released as a standalone later. And you might just play it earlier than anyone else. :) That and new version of UB might just get you interested.

Especially if you like a certain bard.

It's a nice offer and I feel bad not taking it but I would not be useful testing v20, considering my present situation.  :-\

It's absolutely okay for you, yeah, I'm perfectly all right with that. I'm just trying to seduce... I mean, invite other users to test, if they're interested.

It's practically this: if you're(a general 'you') going to play BG2 with UB, you might as well take this version, it's more stable and requires no tweaking. Polish users will have a great installable translation, Bodhi fans will have a properly disappearing-in-Athkatla-encounter Bodhi and properly becoming-an-enemy-in-Spellhold-chase Bodhi, Minsc and Kalah fans won't have trouble with their quests, and so on.

I'm sure you'd get some takers if you put the word out on other forums (maybe you have, haven't checked lately).

Everything ok, Salk? :)

We have one tester who's Just That Great and caught several minor issues and a major bug already. So, the mod and the game are going to get just that much better. And that's only one person! *You* could be that person.

(I really shouldn't be agitating on mayoral elections, I guess. You guys carry on with an OT discussion, it brings new and unsuspecting users here).

I'm beginning a new playthrough today. I was planning to use v19 but I just saw this thread. Is there a readme containing all v20 changes? If yes, I'll gladly give v20 a go.

Welcome to PPG!
Actually, I was here for more than 4 years now, it's just... <suddenly the room is filled by a cold, almost tangible breeze> ...I like to watch.

Now, as for the UB, thanks, I'm starting right away!

Well, I don't think it's caused by UB but the PC get's an additional hit dice compared to other NPCs. For example: 7th lv fighter with 18 CON will get 108 HP instead of 98, 8th lv mage with 14 CON will get 36 instead of 32 hp. Also, why unarmored warrior and thief use the same avatar while having different paperdolls?
