Yeah, but alongside with Valen I have all the tactics challenges installed, and I think those two mods compensate each other, though I don't really care about such things as balance as long as I enjoy the game process.
Anyway, thanks for the advice, I think I'll just have to complete the keep ...

Thanks for the advice.I'll try it out.
And by the way, priests don't go hostile unless Valen is in their immediate vicinity. I would have kept her as far as possible from them but the problem was that after the Ritual you are teleported back to the Keep location. And the place where you land is ...

Can't get inside Watcher's Keep

Long story short,I have Valen in my party,she saw that cleric near the keep,he saw her,turned hostile,I got annoyed and whacked them all. It was not very wise,though, for now it is impossible to get inside the keep,even though I 've looted their corpses and took the vigil stone. That damn door won't ...

1: Use all the resources at your disposal. The fights are balanced for you to use pretty much every wand, scroll and potion at your disposal.



Yeah,that's a good suggestion, but the problem is that most of the times you get torned to pieces so quickly, that you are not able not only to use ...

Thanks for the advice,this mod did the trick.
The optimization is still a problem,I know that most people here have computers way too powerfull to encounter any such problems,but if any of you have some idea or an advice,I would like to hear it.

That's rather strange.I believe you should be dead already,taking into consideration the fact that you have killed that lady still being in chapter 2.I never thought it is possible.

Optimization and Problems with high resolutions.

I play Bg2 on two computers - one of them is a pretty old notebook (1000mhz,256mb ram,8 mb video). Well,it meets the recommended system requirements,but still lags in certain places(for an instance,the improved twisted rune is a slide show.)though the resolution is only 800x600.If there is any way ...

Yeah,you if you are a thief,you can't side with Bodhi.That would mess things up with your stronghold.Currently I am using the Valen mod,it allows one to own a thief stornghold and to work for Bodhi simultanteously.
But how did you manage to make enemies of Shadow Thieves?I believe if they turn ...

Certain Difficulties with Improved Druid Grove

Some of those "improved" things from the "tactics" mod are just killing me.
Needless to say that getting through the grove itself was kinda tricky.All those spirit trolls having improved invisibility,endlessly casting high level spells along with their awesome physical resistances were quite ...

Aataqah,that is what he is called,if my memory serves me.

Usually,I don't care about how strong my party will be.I choose characters basing on how interesting their dialogues are,their interaction with the group and the leader.
The leader is usually powerfull enough to do all the monster killing job.

Some more questions -

2.In the bridge district,near the Helm Temple,there is a couple of nobles throwing insults at you.Is there any quest related to them?Or shall I just kill those ignorant fools?

2.Will I get the high level abilities in any of ...

I started a new game with a multi class character - elf,fighter/mage/thief.The idea was to complete the game with this single guy.But as I have already passed SoA three times,and I wanted something new,that's why I rushed to the Watcher's Keep immediately after leaving the Irenicus dungeon.The only ...

There is Youshimo,though it is not a long-time decision,he can dual to a fighter and use his stealth abilities.

The whole thing with "good" and "evil",it is a much more complicated matter.I think that the problem is that many characters in the game are posed as an example of an "absolute" evil and good,which don't exist in the real word.A person cannot be evil just because it is evil nature.In my opinion ...

What most rewards would that be? Because poisoning the grove is not very rewarding, when compared to saving it...

The game itself does not offer many opportunities to play evil, altough more than BG1. (It would be hard to offer less than BG1) Still, when I get a fancy for an evildoing party from ...
