If you want to be evil, I'm going through right now with an Assassin and it is a lot of fun. It is a different experience trying to be sneaky rather than barrelling in with a fighter or throwing magic at everyone.

Where do I find the person to give me the Trademeet Quest? I just went to my worldmap and realized that I dont have Trademeet on there and cant remember how to get it.

Thanks!

So within the framework of the BGII game is there no use for not just the spell, or the Helm of Infravision, or elvish infravision? If you have infravision do you erase the fog of war or whatever it is called faster?

What does Infravision do for you in the game? I know that it is supposed to enable you to see heat correct? But as far as game play wise is there any real advantage to infravision?

Thanks

Isnt there supposed to be a little boy or something outside the copper coronet that asks you to go to trademeet and help the town. I cant find him and cant get trademeet to appear on my map. Am I looking in the wrong place?

ok I'm up and going.... I had to download a newer version of Direct X I guess... I tried that an now it is working ok... thanks for the help

ya, I downloaded the patch from Bioware... my error message is a problem with the bg main exe file or something... I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling it

What do you guys think is the most useful spell in the game? I really like the Druid Spell Insect Plague. Keeps the casters from being able to attack me while I pick them apart

I dont get either of those messages, I just get "Jan attacks whoever" followed by "Jan does 6 (or whatever) points of damage..."

but can you do it being invisible or do you have to hit your stealth roll?

I'm trying to use Jan and he is just a plain thief.

ok I've been trying it... I have the Flametongue sword... Long Sword I think... and I can get behind the enemies, usually using invisibility or improved invisibility (because Jan's Hide in Shadows sucks) and attack their backs but it usually just goes as a normal attack and I dont get the multiplier ...

I read in a previous thread somewhere a while back that thieves could backstab with any weapon that a pure thief could use? When I try to backstab with a spear or staff or long sword it never seems to work. If I use a short sword or a dagger I always get the backstab multiplier.

Can someone please ...

Thanks!!

Are the effects of Potions of Master Thievery cumulative?

And on demi-human characters do they have limits how high they can advance in a particular class? or is it just based on the xp limit?

I found 1 bolt of polymorphing... it was dropped by 1 of the skeletons protecting (I forgot his name, the cleric that is in the circle animating his "family")

I'm in Level 3 of the Cloakwood Mines. According to the walk through in area 8 the Dormitory there should be 4 Hobgoblin Archers and also 4 Hobgoblins Guards. I got 12 of each!! Has anyone else had that many?
