Kevin:

Thanks for the answer to the Boots question. You are correct, the Boots did not work if the character had the Ring of Free Action.

Thanks for the patches.

I used the patch for Boots of Speed, hoping to get the extra attacks, but had something weird happen instead. I had two characters with the Boots and the patch made one pair inactive. My Player Character had a pair as did Anomen and Anomen's pair quit working. When I switched the boots between the ...

I kind of like Jaheira's Harper Quest. Those pesky Harpers pop up and pop off constantly. I particularly enjoy shutting their arrogant mouths for them.

I also like some of the Quests associated with Trademeet. It is kinda cool to have a statue made of you (if only they knew me better ...

I use the back room of the Seven Veils Inn in Waukeen's Promenaide. It is centrally located, you can rest there, the temple is just below you, the Adventurers Mart is down the stret, etc... Besides, it kinda feels like it is "my" room no matter what that fat wench thinks.

By the way, I keep ...

The Ring of Regeneration can fundamentally change a party. No more need for clerics.

I am 43 and I am also a college professor (history). I have been playing RPG games since 1982 when the original Dungeon and Dragons game came out. I have played mostly with students but also a few of my colleagues. I started computer games on my old Tandy CoCo 16K machine. Oh my God, I just realized ...

* Nalia is probably the best mage for a Good party if you can stand the constant "How is this helping the poor?" crap. I have always kept her around.

This is my third trip through the game. Currently, I am about to enter Ust Natha with:
Archer (PC)
Anomen
Valygar
Jaheira
Aerie
Imoen
Contrary to what most have posted, I have found Anomen very effective and much less annoying than some (I still hate Haer Daelis). It is also cool to watch ...

I played BG2 before I played BG1. I also bought BG1 before BG2 but it kept locking up so I quit after leaving Candlekeep. When I finally figured out how to change the settings to make it work, I was disappointed because BG2 is sooo much better.

Haer' Daelis.

He should be able to back up that ****y attitude, but he usually gets killed by the third round if I don't hide him behind Minsc (or Boo).

Started out to play the weakest party I could but finally got so sick of Haer' Daelis I booted him out. Currently I just came out of the Underdark with:

Halfling (female) Swashbuckler
Minsc and Boo (can't go without them)
Mazzy
Aerie

Nalia

I almost always play chaotic good because that just seems to be the most natural for me. I have a hard time just wantonly killing for no real reason (except for Neeber). But I also seem to have a natural suspicion for institutions and authority which explains the chaotic side. I am currently playing ...

I have had problems with lag every time I fight a dragon. I have also had that bothersome problem with movies. Apparently the game doesn't like the VIA Apollo chipset (133 FSB) and any version of DirectX (I've tried DX6, DX7, DX8).

Granted,
Nalia is a snotty rich girl with a goodie-goodie attitude.
Yeah,
Aerie is a whining cry-baby that just won't shut up.
Okay,
Anomen is a self-righteous blowhard.
But,
it is Haer Daelis that is the biggest pain in the a$$. His smug, patronizing attitude with my PC is bad enough, and his ...
