Still having fun buying up items to equip Minsc with. The latest buys:
Minsc should have a purple cape in his clothing inventory, right? Hopefully the fabric is decent quality and it drapes nicely! Anyway, it’s a low cost addition at under $15 total with shipping. Sent via speedpak from China and shipped right away. Should arrive some time next week. (My last Speedpak item delivery got here surprisingly fast.)
The (die cast metal) mace is pretty fancy looking as befits an enchanted item (5% chance to Stun the target). And the design seems a fairly good match with the Stupifier that the Enhanced Edition added to the game. Roughly in the same ballpark anyway. At any rate, I’ll think of it as the Stupifier.
And for the offhand if one chooses the dual wielding maces route for Minsc, I’m still trying to decide what to use. Mace? Morningstar? Flail?
You may be thinking wait, what? Other than a mace in the offhand? Well, a couple decades ago back in the Tutu mod days you could dual wield maces, morningstars, and flails interchangeably with the same bonuses as if using two maces. EEs changed that to restrict to just the chosen weapon only, here maces. But actually even now when playing the EEs the Tweaks Anthology mod allows one to do that again, i.e., to get the same bonuses as two maces when dual wielding a combination of maces, morningstars, or flails. And for display purposes it may well look cooler using a morningstar or flail in the offhand.
