Sultanselim: very, very cool.

Well done with the screen shots and Bioware link. The game is dated but still continues to dazzle in new ways.

Thanks for sharing that.

The XPCap is 8,000,000 XP which a party of 3 will reach early in ToB.

The ultimate party needs a thief who can use all the thieving abilities. Since thieves don't get much better after level 13 and multiclasses gain HLAs as fast as pure classes, a single class thief is wasted.
Multiclassing with ...

Protect Aerie with Stoneskin all the time, that should take care of any surprises by annoying thieves.

Best regards,

Amen. I play sorcerer PCs or magic-heavy parties mostly. Stoneskin and Mislead contingencies are absolute essentials. I'd rather give up the Staff of the Magi or even the ...

I was referring to the Potion of Magic Blocking, but the potions of Magic Protection and Magic Shielding shouldn't be ignored either.

Dude, I played the game twice and never saw or heard of the first one. The second two (if I recall correctly) only appear in ToB.

And I doubt none of those will ...

What potion would you be referring to?

When I played with Haer Dalis I couldn't get over his horrible saves and hit point count. He's a good dual-wielder but (holy hell!) buffing him so he could survive those tuff combat situations was a pain, especially in ToB.

By chapter 9, I was routinely keeping him in the back with his Improved ...

hOnestly, I'm about 90% power...10% role, based on the definitions outlined above in this thread. I can "get into it", but not that deep.

I actually look upon the role playing purists here with some envy but mostly estrangement. You're a weird little group in terms of your passions, but I ...

When I watch these videos, I have a few strong thoughts.

First, let's get the obvious out of the way. Wow! To a lay-player like me, that's a staggering achievement.

Second, I actually feel a bit bad for you because obviously, you have learned this game SO WELL, to perfection actually, that I ...

The biggest obstacle isn't related to securing rights or project development.

It's about finding quality people to donate and follow-through with their contributions without any expectation of monetary reward .

It's about not letting greed set in at any point...keeping everyone's eye on the prize ...

When you understand what the hell any of this mumbo jumbo means:

Tutu Mod Compatibility and Order of Install - The Gibberlings Three Forums

I asked for some MOD advise in another thread and, many thanks to the guy who gave me the link (much appreciated dude), but hell...it's just looks like a ...

LOL. Funny read Sator.

Many thank rbeverjr.

I'm still doing my mod research. I just played the game twice thru completely so I'm going to take a break before any mod'ed run thru. But I've definitely taken note of the comments here.

Then you'd be ripping off the God of War franchise in a big way.

It's my second time going through the TOB expansion and I have no idea how to unlock the the container that is found within the cave of the dead where you fight Vongoethe the lich. Anyone want to give me a hint? =)

HINT: Just make a note of it as an outstanding item. Keep playing the expansion ...

The G3 is ALL you need brother. Trust me.

1. SoA
2. ToB
3. Official Bioware ToB patch
4. G3 ver. 2.0

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = Good-to-go!

In all my years of debugging programs, I've never once thought to try technique #6. Something new is learned each day.

What official patch did you use, the SoA patch, or the ToB patch?

Try uninstalling everything, and then load (in this order):

SoA
ToB (ToB patches SoA, so SoA's patch should NOT ...

CFM, I read Gaider's comments.

The Ascension mod sounds great, although, the thought of a tougher Abazigal battle and a tougher demogorgon battle (without HLA's) is a bit terrifying.

I'll report back on the experience.

The dragons invade almost every game I play, they become larger and meaner, hell, they even hunt me in packs now. They are almost impossible to kill without reloading a hundred times, and the "victory" ain't worth the frustration and the pitiful treasure they drop. :rolleyes:

The first time I played SoA/ToB as a sorcerer, I relied on Time Stop for many of the difficult battles. It was a matter of casting Time Stop, then Improved Alacrity and then unloading my spellbook with the remaining 2 rounds.

The second time I played SoA/ToB as a sorcerer, I used Time Stop maybe ...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I recall reading somewhere in the BG2 manual that the party receives an initiative bonus if their reputation climbs above a certain number. 14 was it???

It might be worth investigating because initiative is a pretty big deal, especially during round one of each combat ...
