Well, no respawn (or reappearance) of the REAL bad guy happens, and I actually searched the whole area (and killing a couple of hulks more in the doing) but otherwise it was a calm bandcamp all the way. :angel:

I'm giving it another go in a couple of days. After reading up on the battle that ...

What in the name of name of (insert own)....

What in the..*spoilers*

name of (insert own) just happened here?









*some spoilers ahead*











Right, entered malavons dome and got a coulpe of umber hulks trown in the face. Well, that's normal. Go right, and encounter Malavon. I choose to drop my weapons (silly me), but when he ...

Okay, so I'm guessing I know the answer to this (not enough RAM...) but just in case...

I'm running IWD/HoW/ToL on a (somewhat) newer laptop system (Sony VAIO, 512 RAM) on Win XP. Here's my problem...at certain sections of the game I get some seriously choppy gameplay...the movements are jerky and ...

Solved it.

It seems that running the game from my external drive caused the problems.

Reinstalled it on my local drive and it works fine now.

It's storage only for my Maxtor drive then I guess :o

Well, on to further slayings!! :mischief:

Reinstalling IWD, running the 1.06 patch + HoW + TotL didn't help at all I'm afraid.

I haven't got many savegames saved either.

The previous area Tiers of the Dead works just fine. Tried tweaking the graphics too, but the gameplay still stutters (as stated, it freezes for 3 seconds, returns for ...

Is this a constant thing? Does it happen all the time, or just when moving long distances and/or having lots of spell effects going?

Sometimes the game will wait a bit if there's lots of enemies pathfinding (Burial Isle in HoW is bad for this). If your issue is truly a repeating stutter, I haven't ...

Stuttering levels

Sorry if this has been answered before or if it's a patch problem (if so please let me know! :-) )

I've got a problem with the game stuttering (or pausing) for about a second every one or two seconds during gameplay. This happened during the last level of Dragons Eye and has reappeared in Upper ...

Thanks for all the good pointers lads! :)

I understand the point of not spreading the WP's on weapons you can't use or should use.

BUT a 'stupid' question regarding WP's when leveling up:

Should these be placed there and then or could they be saved until later? The reason I ask is, when level ...

Yes, but I would take a healer early on. Consider a Ranger/Cleric or a Fighter/Druid multiclass instead of a dual class.


Ok, thanks.

Would a Ranger/Cleric dualling be sufficient to care of the healing? That would mean scrapping my 'favourite' Druid, but...

Then I would have the two desired ...

It's party time....again

Yes, it’s another ’please acknowledge my party’ thread I’m afraid. :rolleyes:

After having a torrid time in the Dragons Eye (like everyone else I guess :o ), I’ve decided to have another go with a different party. I’ve found that my current party lacks a bit of ‘bite’ and the ranged approach hasn ...

Thanks a lot to both of you! :-)

I've managed to clear the temple without getting TOO battered....

What I find difficult (among many things :o ) is WHICH spells the priest and the mage should use as memorized in the available slots.

I've found myself starting areas over again several times ...

Ok, thanks. I'll just drop them then. :)

By the way, got any tips on how to get those verbeegs?

Seem to get slaughtered too easy in the Temple.

Any magic recommended? :-)

Gerth won't buy

It's regarding the several keys found in The Vale of Shadows.

I've tried to get rid of them at Gerth's place, but the keys are all greyed out like he dosn't want to buy them?

So now I'm 'stuck' with a load of keys and missing out on potensial spell/potion buying gold....

Iv'e installed the I and ...
