Hmmm - morfeus, are those stat increases you mention above in addition to the 6 you can get through the recognised combos??

I also haven't looked at the script, but it seems generally accepted that you can only get the stat increases and item once each... Having also done some more or less random button bashing, I would guess it's random what effect you get, with the XP one being *extremely* rare...

As an aside, after I ...

I'm not entirely sure about Polaris' debating style (can you say... aggressive? ;) ), but I feel I have to agree nevertheless. How could the protagonist possibly have done any different? Neither Sarevok or the protagonist actively did anything for the other (until the various BG1 killing attempts ...

Multi vs dual in TOB

Don't know if this has been posted before, but I was just curious about how other people are finding their beloved kensai/mages are performing in ToB.

I've not had the expansion long, but it seems to me the main danger to my characters is when an opponent uses (Greater) Whirlwind. It seems to be ...

Nice topic Sellsword!

I'm not going to reiterate the points above, many of which I agree with. However, one point that people tend to overlook is this: Non-linearity.

Why do I say this? When new rpg/adventure games come out, reviewers will often slate a game they feel is too linear and doesn't ...

Hmmm - I posted about this a couple pages back, so it seems like it is a genuine bug... My problem was going back and forth and ending up with about 10 liches... even my friend and my maxed out characters couldn't cope :)

The way to get round it is simply to take the lich out in the crypt room ...

@reignsofpower

If I recall correctly, Gorion (in ToB) explains that he decided to run off with you instead of Sarevok as a Child, AND his 'once lover' (your mother) was HUMAN (look closely when she appears in ToB in the Plane).

I'm not sure, but I think this changes according to your protagonist ...

I think it would have to be the fight against the fearsome group of bhaalspawn just outside Yaga-Shura's lair...

Lich horde battle - odd bug - *minor spoiler*

Hi everyone!

As a newbie, sorry in advance if this topic has been covered already but...

My friend and I were playing multiplayer via serial cable with our 2 tanked up characters, and soon after escaping the prison, we charged to the Crooked Crane by the gates to pick up Daystar. He lurked ...

First post! :)

Hmm - definitely Spell sequencer + 3x flame arrow... Instant kill on even some of the tougher guys (assuming no MR etc...)

Wonder if I'll get as addicted as some of you guys :D
