GameBanshee Forums

holy crap! real posts with actual questions and no posts like the ones on the official forum, here's a sample:
UbiSoftSux4Ever: "this game sucks, i'm taking it back then spending the next 3 months ripping it on these forums"
ILuvPOR:"F#ck you, this game is the best thing that ever happened to me and ...

you have to strike the rock (like a barrel(, while wearing a ring (i was wearing the ring of protection +1, don't know if that has to be the particular ring).

I know it breaks the intended storyline, but I had to do it, he's the only true thief, and he's an awesome thief at that (unless your PC is a thief which mine isnt). So if like me you had Yoshi in your party most of the time in SOA, here's the (IMHO) best way to do it:
First off, I used the pause ...

I was going to post this under the Jaheira Romance thread but its 3 pages already so this post might get lost there…
I have a saved game where the Jaheira romance stalled at Lovetalk 27, it was weird how it happened, I went to the D’Arnise Hold after Nalia’s father’s funeral and rested and I was ...

Just discovered something interesting - I knew from the manual that once the partie's reputation drops too low (3 or lower) you will be randomly attacked anytime you return to Amn, but what I didn't know until now is that the soldiers and Cowled wizards that attack you are worth between 3000 - 4000 ...

OKAYYYYYYYYY, so anyway, getting back to Evil stuff to do IN THE GAME, I poisoned the Druid Grove and when I got back to Trademeet I got a little exp from talking to the halfling but the Mayor reemed me out and so I didn't get that little scene where the two nobles talk to you about helping them ...

Summoning pit fiends in the middle of town sounds like fun (especially around all of those nobles in the Government District), but its not really EVIIIIIL. Think bigger.
So far here's what I've seen suggested that I like:
Working for Firkaag
Being a tyrant Lord of the DeArnise Keep
Kill everyone I'm ...

Just did a quick search and someone mentioned it on this board before, topic is "Druid's Font"( I don't know how to insert the link)

I saw it over at IGN.com in their BGII game guide. It said that a halfling will ask you to poison the Grove. Don't know if its true or not, I haven't gone there with my Evil party yet.

If I shag Phaere, wont that disrupt the Visconia romance? I remember trying it in a save game the first time when I was romancing aerie and she freaked.
women.
I like the idea of working for Firkaag, then turning on him for that dragon exp and armor, that something an EVIIIIIL character would do ...

Can you actually do anything for Firkaag? I'm not talking about stuff to do in theory, I mean things you can actually do in the game, like what the Pope wrote (although that's not really EVIIIIL. its wrong. but not EVIIIIIL).

Scott: “Why’d you leave me?”
Dr. Evil: “Scott, you’re just not Evil enough. You’re the margarine of Evil. The Diet Coke of Evil, just one calorie, not quite Evil enough.”

That’s me, I’m Scott. I’m playing through the third time as an Evil character. I’m putting together The Evil party (Korgan ...

i love IWD/HoW, but i think the biggest thing missing from this game is kits and the three new classes. kits was one of the coolest things about BGII, but b/c your pc was so defined for you it made it kind of hard to play him as say, a barbarian (he grew up in a library).
on the other hand, IWD's ...

from what i've been reading, you'll only get to level 40 if you play through, import char, repeat. like getting to level 30 in HoW. i think playing through the first time will be very challenging, especially if they fix the AI to avoid letting players use tactics like casting cloud kill just out of ...

thank you Manveru, i've been making the same point in a couple of topics on this board. if it is Sarevok he's probably a fighter or a F/M. there's plenty of quality npc tanks and mages, how about a quality thief?
storywise Sarevok as the new npc could be cool. how will he interact w/ a good party ...

(ok, this is turning into 4 different threads) Gruntboy, that is an excellent point. When i played IWD i still played w/ the main character as a protagonist, and the other characters were BGI type NPCs w/ stories of there own.
ok, to completely change the subject...does anyone else thing that kits ...

Wow Nighthawk, i've got to give you some props for busting out the old MERP rules. Too bad there isnt a game company w/ that liscense right now, that would make a great CRPG.

"Who's Aragorn?" He's Elessar, "the Elfstone"

its definitely a trade off, in BGI you had a lot of really usefull NPCs, in BGII you have a small (and sometimes dubious) selection, but there's all of this great interaction and scripted events that tie into their quests. as ajax mentioned, the way around the problem is to either edit the NPCs ...

i did a little Jan bashing in the thread i started but i should clarify i agree that Jan is the most effective thief once Yoshimo's gone, but i don't know, there's just something about him that irks me. plus multiclassed thiefs take so long to become really good across all of the rogue skills unless ...

we could all debate that a lot of classes (bard, druid, etc) were not represented well (ugh, cernd), not to mention the new classes not being represented at all by NPCs. but to get back to my original point, Watchers Keep might prove too tough for Imoen (i dual classed her in BGI and Durlag's Tower ...
