I have just finished the game, using non of the patches. And the only 'bug' I encountered was that at level 2 of the catacombs, same groups of monsters kept showing up on the same places every time I passed those places.
But this was at most irritating and it turned out to be a nice opportunity to ...

It may very well be that members of your party are to close to the door and that they are actually the ones that are blocking the door.

The fps-number that shows up in the upper left corner varies a little bit, but is mostly a number between 20.000 and 25.000.
I have a Elsa Erazor III pro video-card with 32 Mb.

As mentioned in a previous post, you should press right shift to show dice roll. This way you can see if there is a secret door somewhere because the DM starts to roll the dice to determine if you spot that secret wall or not.

But it is my experience that if you pay just a little attention, you ...

Flamestrike (sorcerer) is also a very nice area-spell, but since this is a level 8 spell, your sorcerer has to be of a high enough level and charisma has to be at least 18.

If you do not have a wand or potion, you can also rest several times in a row. Each time a little bit of your stats will be restored so you will have to check regularly if you rested enough or if you need to rest some more..

My experience with shadows and Wraiths and such is that you take a good look at their movement. They are constantly moving just a litle bit and there is a position in that movement that if you hit them at that point, you can be reasonabily sure you get a hit.

With wraiths for instance, I get most ...

My suggestion for this fight is: do NOT talk with Greyanna, but choose the option attack drow right away. This gives your party a full pre-fight round of attack and that is avery nice advantage in this fight.

My question to you is: your party is just level 10 at this point? Are you running through ...

When you get the message that something is blocking the door, it usually means that YOU are blocking that door! I don't remember getting that message at any door on the prison level.
So maybe you should try to have your party standing a bit further off when attempting to open that door.

I copied a post of mine I put up on another board about PoR. I made several remarks about this particular fight, but I think this one was one of the more usefull comments. Hope it can help you in a way.

Yet another usefull thing I just remembered. When you encounter Greyanna, don't conversate with ...

The only benefit would be that you can sell them for gold. But then again, the things you can buy with that gold are also not very spectacular and much better weapons are found on your way through the game.

My paladin/rogue for instance is carrying the Large Batwanged serrated Blade; the ...

Nothing like that actually. Even when I'm playing the game without saving in between, I keep encountering these monsters at several places on the map almost every time I come by that place.

There is even one place where I come out of a room, encounter a group of monsters, defeat them, go back in ...

No, that is not what I'm talking about. It is always a group of monsters (be it drow or Orogs or arraccat) and if I remember correctly, it always takes place outside rooms, when I am wondering from one end of the map to another.

The boxes you discribe I did come across those and destroyed them (you ...

It is correct that you don't need a special key to get to the staircase to level 3. All you need to do is to get down to level 2 bij means of the staircase tot the far right of the map. Or go a really long way around. If I remember correctly, you can walk al the way towards this staircase if you ...

What workes realy well for me is that my paladin uses his "Lay on hands"skill. When the cure-spells don't work, this skill brings them back to life and then I rest my party so that all hitpoints and spells and skill are fully restored

The staircase to the third level of the catacoms (= lower keep) is located just north of where the silver fire is (that is the big room in the center of the map with the significantly different floor on the map, you can't miss it).
This staircase is well guarded so you must fight your way through ...

In the catacombs - lower keep, my caracters reached level 17 and then I was confronted with the problem that any single class caracter seems to have a limitation to go beyond level 16.
The only thing left to do is to make all your caracters multi-class, but it's a bit crazy to have a sorcerer ...

what may be of help to you is that it is wiser not to conversate with greyanna, but directly choose the option fight drow. This gives you a full round of attacks before the battle begins.

I had my fighters use theire ranged weapons and my spellcasters go at them with flamestrike and fireball ...

If I remember correctly what did the trick for me was that you tell them that you are injured. In the conversation that follows they ask you how badly injured you are. Tell them that you are badly injured and they say but not too injured to be a good fight and then then lower the bridge.

In level 2 of the catacombs I keep encountering the same monsters at several places of the map. Each time it is exactly the same: same number of monsters, same composition of the group of monsters and same place on the map.

Is there anyone who has had a similar experience and is this a bug in the ...
