Could anyone give me an idiot's guide to acquiring a mega-damage weapon?
You asked for the Idiot's Guide... it looks long but is pretty simple after the first run thru. (CE noob and idiot here)
A. Get bg3.CT (from first post)
B. Get bg3_items_spells.CT from this post at the bottom and maybe read thru if you have the time:
viewtopic.php?p=306939#p306939
1. Start Game and load your save game. Alt-Tab to switch out of game or Windows Key + E to open Explorer.
2. Start CheatEngine
3. (1st icon with magnifying glass) Select bg3.exe/bg3_dx11.exe game process in CE - from the Process List - Process tab
4. (2nd icon with folder and green arrow) Load bg3.CT in CE
5. Select (click on box next to) Console - then - Register Commands - then - Weapon Enhancements
6. Load bg3_items_spells.CT say Yes to merge
7. Select the new lower second Console - Register Commands - Item Spawner -Weapons
8. From the list choose your fave weapon class for each of your characters or character.
9. The weapons names in Gold are Legendary and 98% of the time the most powerful, then Weapons in Purple
10. Select the weapon of choice and check in game it should land at the feet of character.
11. Remember to Quick/Proper Save every 1 to 2 weapons you get because when your game will crash is very random and you have to start the whole process from step 1.
12. Once you found your weapons and equipped them to your characters, do a proper
SAVE and clean up all the old quick saves.
13. Select your character, I like to have the inventory window open so you can see the changes on the weapon by hovering my mouse over it in the background when you working with CE in the foreground.
14. Kindly note it will modify the weapon they are holding in the inventory screen, so if shows a bow (Melee) then the bow will get modified so un-equip all other weapons, and equip only the weapon you want to modify.
14. Go to Weapon Enhancements from Step 5 in CE.
15. Go to town. But slowly, when you add a modifier hover over the weapon and see if the modifier got added.
16. If you want to remove a modifier from a weapon later, you need Select it and then Un-Select it.
17. Remember to Save and then Move on to next weapon (Melee) or character.
18. Enjoy bringing all those bastards who have been kickin' your @$$ to their knees.
Note: You can skip Steps 4 & 5 when you initially just looking for a weapon and the game has crashed and you have restarted the process for the nth time. But if you decide to use any of the other tables from Step B then you need to do steps 4 and 5 first as per the post.
