Got him in the second try w/ a triggered lower res, then a time stop and three terrible, horrible whiltings.

He is pretty well scripted. I liked when I'd whirlwind with a fighter and then he'd go invis. Even had some trouble using traps since invisible stalkers kept setting them off.

that's weird, right now, I can't even get into Suldancellar. I just stare at a loading screen for 2 hours while I read/sleep/watch tv etc and then unplug the cpu.

Does it have something to do w/ installing TOB?

I tried to get to TOB solo- but when my solo sorc enteres Suldanessar, the game freezes up. I get a "insert disc 4" message and stare at an hourglass for an hour until I get bored and pulled the plug.
Is this a disk error or a TOB error or what?

Levelling up:
Do this:
Go to the outside firegiant area.
Rest.
Two firegiants will popup and you'll get a "hey stupid, rest in your pocket protector plane" message.
Kill giants and repeat.

Bugs or deliberate?

Two things.
My AC -7 for my sorc keeps going back to -1, I have to fix it by unequipping ring of gaxx, staff of magic and ring of protection +2- is there AC supp to overlap or is this a bug?

Also, this time around, I killed Jaraxle- but when I warp back to Drowville, it puts me in some kinda loop ...

Well, another name for a Tarrasque is "the Ravager" and you fight one of them.

Is kinda funny- main bad dude is named Baal in one and Bhaal in the other- and in both you start in a city where flaming pitch is dropping all the time.

since they refer to you as the child of Bhaal- I guess I figured they weren't. I thought maybe they are priests who worked for Mellisan.

I was doing fine on the first try until the aforementioned time stop/slaughter. Makes me kinda wanna play a fighter/mage to combine time stop with whirlwind. That would be what, 30 guaranteed hits, if you did it right?

I just remember that your kharma got bad if one of those monks fireballed you. Also, they dissolved your sword if you didn't unequip it before fighting them.
Also, you spent a lot of time hacking trees.
But overall, was really fun for some reason.

Nael, the annoying part of cespnar was that you had to go through the entire thing each time, and after he made something you'd have to start all over. Since you didn't get the final head to the flail till the endgame, for example, you had to go past that every time. Wish you could pick up where you ...

I go from circus tent to Mencar pebblecrusher.

Then I fart around in the bridge district for a bit- then I head into the sewers and free the bard to activate the "boots of speed" quest.

Musings on TOB (spoilers)

Here's my rundown.

Coolest battles: Ravager, the 1000 berserker dwarves, various demons in l3 watcher's keep.

Hardest battle: Draconis-mostly because his invisible friends kept setting off my traps.

Most dissapointing battle: Balthazar- hands down.

Most frustrating part of the game: I never ...

I've wondered about the same thing- that would rock- though impossible to use invis/sneak and area spells.
