You know what, after all this... I think I'm going to chose the GOOD path each time anyway..

Even minmaxing it, I can't see a lot of strengths in the EVIL powers you get.

1) Pride: Items are largely irrelevant by this stage of the game, so it comes down to 222K xp OR 20% ResistFire, 20 ...

I was tempted to play it through straight away with my party of 6 from SoA (I had completed SoA without making it to the cap for even *one* of my six characters).

But I ended up making a new character, starting SoA again and going straight through to ToB. I made it *past* the 8million xp cap of ...

Thanks for the info, it was exactly what I was looking for :) (Sound of gears whirring as brain goes into full min-maxing mode)

Do they line up Imoen for the chop? :) Or does it resolve itself some other ...

I'm solo-ing. I did the quest, got the bird, handed it to Xsar or whoever he is, and the harper appears and toasts him.

Then, this time the quest went no further. I'm right near the end now, in ...

Tears/Alignment Decisions & Rewards?

Having read a recent thread that started on the topic, I'm curious. Can someone who knows the game better post information on what the options are at the end of SoA, and what the rewards are?

Something along the lines of:

1. Test One - "PRIDE"
- choose evil, kill the dragon, get 10% magic ...

Well, theres definitely some variance here. I just tried to cast a second sequencer, (I have both Major and Minor versions) and it simply wouldn't let me cast it.

So I guess I'm getting the same response as Xyx... :/

Oh well.. ones enough for me :)

Illithium?

Howdy,

Being quest-oriented, I used the Illithium that you get from Neb the Nasty to give to Sir Sarles for the Temple Sculpture thingo.

Now that I've already done that (and I got the "alloy" illithium-substitute as well) I want the Illithium back so I can get Cromwell to use it to upgrade the ...

Sorry, Are you telling me that if I complete SoA with 8 Million XP Under my belt (divided by 3), when I transfer this hardened character to ToB (Which I have already installed), it will CHOP my XP off at 2.75million because that was the limit of SoA ?!

By my reckoning I'll have slightly more than ...

Its achievable, I'm almost into chapter 3 as a FMC and I'm already 12/13/13... Makes you feel very pumped, and 5 attacks a round with a Quarterstaff+4 is *quite* effective in addition to having almost every spell in the game...

Several things help you out:

Amulet of Power (where do I get it if I choose Bodhi?)

Heya,

I'm on my second run through of SoA, with a solo character. Its been fun, but the occasional level drainer has been annoying :/

I was wondering, since I intend to choose Bodhi instead of ShadowThieves this time - do you get the Amulet of Power if you choose this path? If so, where and how ...

Total XP in SoA ?

Heya,

I'm currently solo-ing through SoA, in preparation for making my foray in ToB.

I was wondering - completing as many side quests as you can without companions, how much XP in *total* is there in SoA ?

I'm already encroaching on 3million XP total, and I haven't left Chapter 2 yet (just can't ...

Craig,

I'm really not sure what you're trying to say here.

Do you not want me to put Flame Blade in the Scripts? I'm sorry, but I tend to put almost *all* of the spells in the game into the gSeries because I can't predict what particular spells a Mage might have memorised.
