what's with the auto-pause?

Is it there and I dont see it ,or is there no pause on enemy sighted? I really thought that was great in BG. Or is it a part of HOW?

I'd like to see someone try a no re-load AND no pause game. I've recently been playing a middle-earth RTS style game and tried hitting the spacebar ,only to find myself getting a royal beatdown.

importing, exporting, and state flags

Has anyone ever exported their main CHAR after the hell trials and the stat bonuses/penalties, and then restarted the game? What happens when you complete the trials again?

Another option is to reroll your multi-class char as a half elf then shadowkeeper him back to human.
Some people do this to have impossibillities such as a dwarf paladin or halfing ranger.

I would like a graphics mod with better(realistic) avatars. It galls me that a half orc barbarian with 24 STR is exactly the same size as the old man keldorn with 17 STR.

Dragon Wench is right. I'd have aerie cast invis. or sanctuary (both low lvl spells) and walk throughout the place turning undead.Turning does not cancel invis.If it does not kill them outright it will make them flee, allowing your other crew to bring 'em down

The best weapon in the game for a fighter is a two-way tie. Celestial fury and flail-o-ages. C-F stun effect has surprised me a few times with some high level or powerful boss-level stops. When facing mages I have stunned without doing damage so it goes through stoneskins/mirror images.when you stun ...

the absolute quickest way is to import them on your BG 1 char with the pause/drop exploit.

Start off by having Yosh backstab the mage.After chugging a potion of STR.Make sure you kill him in 1st strike. If not,reload.With him out of the way,it is much easier.Concentrate next attack on the cleric.
