  1. So how do you search for the bug reports associated with each fix in the list you provided (if I was after more details)? Searching the supplied bracketed numbers doesn't seem to yield appropriate results at https://support.baldursgate.com/projects

  2. I have received the update on steam, but the Shaman class is missing from the list during character creation. What should I do to get it?

  9. lo mejor es que an quitado poder modificar el grupo de la historia asi que si quieres cambiar 1 personaje toca empezar de 0 cosa que en origianl no pasaba .
    la IA solo funciona la parte fisica , como cuerpo a cuerpo o a distancia , la Ia de lanzamiento de conjuros no va , igual tienes 1 personaje con 1 de vida y los clerigos no van a curarlo y si tengo activada la ia y la biografia que curen y nada , rara ves tiran 1 conjuro curativo.igual con los magos etc...
