keep in mind, too, that you might be able to look up all the rules in the LM or the MM2, but that might not count (for a crafty DM) as "character knowledge." might have to convince your ref to allow your cleric a knowledge (religion) check to see if your PC knows any of this stuff. otherwise, the ...

the ending is whack.

it is known.

MoP is might favorite late-game spell. i'm not sure if there's an "ammo" limit or a time limit on each casting--haven't bothered to track it. but late-game, the ammo lasts a long time--enough to kill two super shadows, usually. perhaps it's ammo is a function of TNO's level? not sure.

and it's ...

hahahaahhahah great thread!

my favorite is the exchange between you, the pirate king, and minsc while trying to talk your way into the asylum. IIRC, minsc asks about the absence of the pirate king's parrot, the PK decides that he is "stupider, or is it more stupid?" for talking to you, and sends ...

almost always run a girl, a smart, charming one with slick two-handed sword skillz. in BG2, usually dual to mage. but F/M/T is good times, too. i am naturally CG, so it's difficult to run otherwise.

completely blown away, first time. game sets standards for graphics, interface, score, liberty, and scope. still have fond memories of running around seyda neen, just looking up at the sky, being completely lost and loving it, marvelling at the stars and the sunset. bloody amazing.

agreed.

area effect spells are a must. don't move your group. just cast entangle, hold person, horror, confusion, many FBs, cloudkill if you have it. not too tough if you have 3+ casters.

vax and zal - hahahahahahaha best fight in the game, my first time through, when i obviously didn't know what i was doing. i musta reloaded 35 times for that one.

noober!

Maximum Frustration Award goes to the firewine ruins infinite kobold commando brigade.

just make your party an all hoobit group, like in the beginning escape from the shire, as in tFotR.


frodo as fighter/thief.
merry and pip as fighters
sam as a paladin

limit it to a four member group?
or add fatty bolger as...something else? hmm.
or add bilbo as a thief?
or add gollum as thief?
or ...

my first run through, i used a female redguard.

redgaurds get a +15 to long blade off the bat, which is slick.

custom class that specialized in STR and SPD.

sign was the shadow, IIRC, which allows one to ignore any stealth stuff, for the most part.

major skills - something like unarmored ...

yeah, it's a bug. i got it, prior to the fix, and managed to lose sulik, cassidy, one of the dogs, and the supermutant guy in the same way. very annoying.

IMO, it is not a great game. it may not be even a good game. the writing is pretty bad.

that said, it does implement the rules well, and it is beatable, unlike pool of radiance.

if you don't care about narrative, and just wanna kick some ass, the go for it. it's not terribly long, the graphics are ...

i wasn't able to do the quest unless dak'kon was actually out of my group momentarily and covered by the fog of war effect.

i had problems, also, getting engrossed in the mortuary--the opening is in some ways the least engrossing part (at least early on).

if you haven't spoken with the whost of deionarra yet, though, that might help.

go to the smoldering corpse bar, which is in the hive area just south of the mortuary ...

spoilers




horror - might be a randomly generated drop (esp. in the rubikon) - does the mausoleum mage have a copy of it?

black-barbed shield - if you butter up ravel enough, she'll give you some items which you can use to acquire this one.

adder's kiss - a random drop? the pestilence tome also ...

i usually come out as chaotic good--a nice anarchist who doesn't like to kill people, but loves to talk ****.

THAC0, in D&D parlance, = "to hit armor class zero"

it correlates to armor class insofar as that is the required number one must roll on a 20-sided die to score a hit on a target. recall that in D&D 2nd ed., the lower the armor class, the harder something is to hit. and so THAC0 increases as a ...

hahahahahah

first time i played through, i loaded morte's inventory with all kindsa crap--the zombie's stone, some cheese, bits of junk, dirty rags, all that crap from the rubikon, etc. kept it all for the entire game.

pretty sure if none of it does anything, besides the junk, of course.

and that ...

IIRC, mebbeth is the only one who can actually unlock the mage class for you, though others, like dakkon and the sensoria addict lady, can switch you.


and the best reason to do the unbroken circle stuff is for the story. gods, that narrative is one of the best things in the game--not just what it ...

found myself dragging visas along everywhere i went, even though i played through as a guardian/weapon master, which made her kinda redundant. guess i just dug her backstory, perspective, and look.
