You have to click very close to the edge of the screen, the top part.

If you get close enough you'll see the patch of clear ground, click it and the character should make there own way there.

Ok, that's even weirder. Why would the trees be blocked off for me, but no one else?

If all else fails I think you could use Gatekeeper (or is it Swordcoastkeeper?) to shift your party into Ulgoth's Beard. You can download it from the Sorcerers Place if you don't already have it and it is very straightforward to use.

Thanks, but I already posted a script that fixed the problem ...

You should be able to exit from the North East corner of the Zombie area like Jordoo says, if you can't then you've definitely got a bug either in your install or your gamesave.

Errr... there are trees in the way. How do you get past these trees?

The BG1 manual seems to be wrong.

As far as I can tell, it works like this:

Abjuration ("Abjurer") is opposite of Alteration ("Transmuter")
Conjuration/Summoning ("Conjurer") is opposite of Divination ("Diviner")
Enchantment/Charm ("Enchanter") is opposite of Invocation/Evocation ("Invoker ...

Yep.

There is the zombie farm area above the bridge area that you have to walk through and exit on the east side above the water to walk to Ulgoth's beard ..... if memory serves.

You can only go south from the zombie farm. Here is a walk-through of that area:

If I remember correctly you need to travel there from the bridge area, I think on the same side as the Umberlee witch's house.
I tried that. It doesn't let me travel at all.

I'm not 100% certain on this, but I remember reading a while ago that if you install ToSC after you have already started ...

How do I get to Ulgoth's beard?

I can't seem to walk there. The farmland area doesn't allow my characters to go east. The bridge area doesn't allow me to go north if I am on the east side of the river. The bandit's camp allows me to go north, but it doesn't let me get to Ulgoth's.

Ulgoth's is ...

I noticed that the level HLAs are given is incorrect in the manual (even for single class characters). Is there an easy way to know when HLAs are given? If not, are there any accurate charts?

To get protection from confusion/stun/mind magic etc - you need the hardly ever seen green jemstone ring (one of a kind and you can't make it yourself either or at least i don't think so if you want the one that actually works and protects continuously) - very hard to get and/find since there is ...

@The second bug/problem:

The abilities you get depend on your alignment. Lawful Good characters will always get "blue" spells while Chaotic Evil characters will always get "red" spells. All other classes get blue/red spells randomly based uppon thier alignment. Even nutral good characters have a ...

That's a good idea.

The reason mine is like that is because I did a full install. I haven't had to do a smaller install for BG2 and I asummed it was the same as BG1. The last time I did a small install was in about '99.

The MP saves are in the {BG Directory}\mpsave\ directory and the single player saves are in the {BG Directory}\save\ directory. Just copy them to your desktop (or any temporary location). Reinstalling won't cause any problems if all you do is change the install size.


There are two alternatives to ...

I still think I would try a Fighter/Thief and a Cleric/Illusionist as I suggested in the BG1 thread, but a Cleric/Ranger and a Fighter/Illusionist should do very well if you use all of their tricks. I tried this combo twice in BG1 and once in BG2. It's very, VERY borring for the Fighter/Thief. The ...

I like BG2 better:
-The "main plot" is MUCH longer (timewise)
-The "extras" are longer and more interesting
-More complex battles because of the increase in number of spells, kits, and items...the increased complexity makes strategy/planning more fun
-More interesting battles (dragons, liches, mages ...

Oops, nevermind. I read the question wrong.

Your right I looked it up. I have honestlynot played BGI in years, I play tutu and then carry the player through to BGII.

I still prefer some sort of multi or dualed spell caster as a better all around character. It has been fun discussing with you without getting nasty and I certainly have ...

Yes, this works in all areas that you can go back to.



I like using the shelfs in Adventurers Mart to store stuff between quests.

Moving from **-*** only lowers your thaco by one. You get +1 to hit with ** and then it goes to plus +2 to hit with ***. That is a net of 2 lower on you thaco not 3. And only one to base like I said before.

No, not in BG1. You are thinking of BG2 rules.

Read page 93 in your BG1 manual if you don ...
