Just asking a philosophical question, am. Am I an evil person for using the ToB traps and even normal traps on poor innocent liches and dragons etc? :p Summoning the Kangnaxx cycle of liches onto a few spike traps is just too much fun, but I have a feeling I'm not supposed to be doing that. Killin ...

Aye pretty much everything from black isle is an excellent title, with the possible exception of neverwinter nights. (Why in god's name did they make a game with such potential so annoying?)

Your turn undead ability is kinda useless untill much higher levels, then you can make things explode pretty ...

The mage stronghold is that big brass sphere in the slums. Go talk to the dude in front of the government building for information on starting that quest. Won't give anything away besides that, but I will give you a hint, pickpocket the guy giving you the quest before you go on it, you'll get a copy ...

Heh I forgot about keldorn and viconia, played this bloody game so many times with so many different parties. I never used anomen much, mostly because he irritated me so much on meeting him, I had to restrain myself from killin the impudent little piss...

Am I missing too much? Never used mazzy ...

My first playthrough I used Celestial Fury + Flail of Ages, then Later Crom Fayer.

Had hella fun doing it too

Jan Jansen can be alternately amusing and irritating but he makes a decent theif, and if you supplement him with another mage (like imoen) you don't have to listen to aerie's whining. Only problem with evil chars is you have to make sure your reputation doesn't get too high or they'll hightail it ...

Also note that gaining levels improves your saving throws dramatically after a while. And what you lose in saving throws from rings and such you make up for with supplemental protection spells, and mounds of AC

The quest is easy except for the last part, which is optional unless you are a paladin looking to do the stronghold quest. Make sure you clear out every nook and cranny, you'll need some of those items for the final encounter, its a doozy.

Might I also suggest Xanthar, that you play the game once through without mods or too many walkthrough spoilers? For me it was a hell of a lot of fun doing that shortly after release, some of the plot twists were well... twisted :p . Its also fun to figure things out the first time, then go back ...

For me it really depends on the group makeup. I like going for classing pure fighters or berserker's for a few levels, then dual classing them over into another role, so far my favorites for protagonists have been Fighter/Clerics, and Fighter/Thiefs. A high level dual classed fighter cleric is great ...

I dual classed a human fighter/cleric. I did the cleric quest and got that stronghold, and then didthe keep quest and got that one as well.

I don't know if its a bug, but I now have both strongholds... hrrrm

I've only just recently gotten into the use of mods after spending several years with the unodded versions of all of the games. However these are my findings thus far:


The level 50 xp cap and Spell cap mods are quite handy, combined with playing through with a pc created party once or twice, and ...
