Tell me about it. I don't remember the amount of times I had to reload because they just ran into a fight and were slaughtered, when a few tactics would have saved them. It was the same with fallout, though fallout 2 did correct some of those faults.

I've played through as a fighter many times, but I always start with wis 18, int 15, dex 12. The others are spread out a bit. I never put any points in str. since the game just isn't that combat oriented.

I had: Virgil, magnus, sogg mead mugg, and loghair thunderstone. I played as a dwarf, so I wanted some travelling buddies.

The biggest reason for me is that I'm playing a neutral good character. I fshe stays evil I can't get a high reputation without her moaning all the time. I'll do anything for a peacefull life.

I'm romancing Viconia and I know her alignment can shift in TOB. The problem is I'm not sure if I messed it up. When she talked about sleeping together I said we should wait till it was right. Then after Yaga Shura I said that destrution and power aren't good. She siad she had a lot to think about ...

It took me a while to kill this guy. I had to wait until i'd done most of the quests and such in barcelona before i went after him. The point being that you nedd to be quite a high level if you are going to succeed. If you can take down those fire trolls, you are about tough enough to kill him.

I've tried installing an old dos game of mine on my new machine. I'm running XP and have a fairly reasonable computer. The problem is, that when I try to run the set up for the game it says it needs an SVGA card for the game to run. Consequently I can't play it. I was hoping someone might know a way ...

Thanks for the useful advice. In the end I decided to ditch Jaheira, since I always romance her, and decided to pursue viconia.
I do have a new question now, though, since I'm unfamiliar with this romance. I've completeed SOA and the romance didn't end well. I managed to convince her to stay, so ...

Thanks. I think i'll try to avoid multi-romances next time.

The problem is that i'm not sure what gave me that ability. none of the mods I installed said I could have a multi-romance. Mods I installed are: TDD + patch, baldurdash fixpack, freedoms reign, reign of virtue, dark ritual, and banter pack.

I've added a number of mods onto BG2 and one of the extras is the possibility of having concurrent romances. At the moment I have Viconia and Jaheira on the go. However, both of them wont move about after a certain part of jaheiras romance.(after I kill Dermin and then sleep). It's a bit annoying ...

Yes. Antimagic scroll acts the same as antimagic spell. ie only on your caster. Protection from magic can be cast on anybody and is the scroll that you need.

You can't cast antimagic spell on the twins. The spell as you said, only works on your caster. What the posts are refering to is the use of a scroll. During the course of the game you have an opportunity to buy, or find, a scroll of protection from magic. This works as an antimagic shell. If you ...

Im afraid so. It's a little dissapointing. I mean, you have better equiptment, ie improvements on normal mode weapons, but they couldn't put in any new bad guys.
I didn't play the battle square though. So you may find that the later levels have some really tough monsters. The monsters on level 1 ...

There weren't too many changes made. The biggest two I found were more xp available and MUCH better equiptment. The thing with IW2 is that playing normally you will never advance beyond level 18-20 with your characters. Even if you import a previous party, the game engine lowers or removes almost ...

I'm afraid the letters are back in Targos. Still, it isn't necessary to continue the story. All you'll do is miss out on some xp so don't worry. If you still want them, you may be able to use a program to add them to your inventory, but I don't really know about that. You'll have to check other posts.

If you meen the letters to expose the neverwinter melitia, than you get those from a priest back in targos. When you talk to one of the sick men in the hospital tent, you recieve a love letter. When you then talk to one of the healers he will exchange that for some letters to give to the melitia ...

I've finally battled my way through to the hand and , while there is still some way to go, I thought I might post some advice for those considering Heart of Fury.
There have been 3 things that I have found invaluable in conquering the dale.
1. Summons! A bunch of summoned creatures can give you ...

Hi,
you may not like this, but I'm aware the game has a problem with this area. A possible bug occurs during this quest. You need to avoid the ancient wyvern until after you are informed about the root. As I understand it, the root may not appear if you have killed the wyvern before talking to ...

The best way I've found is summon monster. Put 4-5 beasts from undead through to 7 and 8 level summons between you and the trolls. Then while their fighting cast things like death fog over them. That way, when the trolls fall, the acid will kill them.
Hope this helps.
