I'm wondering if anyone happens to have a save file, for Baldur's Gate 1 Classic (not enhanced) with the following specifications:
* Save was made with no mods active
* Save is during the final battle with Sarevok
* CHARNAME (the main character) is dead
* Imoen has not dual-classed, so she's still a single-class thief
* The rest of the party doesn't matter
* Imoen is in the middle of casting Magic Missile, targeting Sarevok. (This needs to be cast from her spellbook, not from a scroll or ForceSpell()).
* There is a genie, as summoned by the Limited Wish spell, that is about to initiate dialog with one of the other enemies in the fight.
* If the game is loaded and the player doesn't provide any input (except possibly unpausing), the battle should end in a victory for the player.
* Save should be from no later than April 1, 1998.

So, does anybody happen to have a save file that meets these specifications that they'd be willing to share?
Oh yes, I have that VERY thing, with ALL those specifications!

Happy April Fools Day!

Just to see how many different ways this is impossible :)

Possible.

dtgreene: * Save is during the final battle with Sarevok
Impossible - You cannot save during combat. :)
avatar
dtgreene: * CHARNAME (the main character) is dead
Impossible - game would automatically end, thereby prohibiting saving. A mod could prevent that, but mods were prohibited above.

Possible.

Possible.

Impossible, per the requirement that she still be a pure class Thief.

dtgreene: * There is a genie, as summoned by the Limited Wish spell, that is about to initiate dialog with one of the other enemies in the fight.
Impossible in multiple ways. Limited Wish is a level 7 spell introduced in Baldur's Gate 2, so no one in Baldur's Gate 1 could cast it, even from a scroll. The genie would speak to a party member, not to an enemy - though maybe we could count it if the caster was a party member at casting time, and got Charmed before the genie could speak?

Possible, if Imoen's magic missile or some other queued attack killed Sarevok.

dtgreene: * Save should be from no later than April 1, 1998.
Impossible, as the game was only released in December 1998. Though perhaps we could count a save from an unreleased beta played by the development team?

Six different impossibilities. Decent for an April Fool's post. :)
