Edit : And don't attack Drizzt, unless You're sure Your party is equipped with best possible gear, with as high levels as possible, as many summons as possible, hasted and ready to take out the most powerfull character in BG1 (by kiting)

I agree, don't attack Drizzt but if you just happen to ...

Hi all, a quick question about Safana

I need a thief and she was the easiest to get (as Imoen is in mage mode at the moment) so I went back to pick up Safana - but I already cleared the treasure trove the first time we went to the lighthouse. Now Safana after a brief adventure has reminded me that ...

Hi BG1 players, some thoughts on playing through the game so far...

I was finally able to pick up a copy of BG1 for a decent price - been looking for it for a while (after completing BG2) and it has been hard to find. Playing BG1 is really quite different from BG2.

Being a low level character is ...

a) Interesting - I did not think you could make a kensai/druid - not without using SK.
b) If you have TOB installed with all the patches - once you decide not to take the Keep and Nalia leaves - just go back and pick her up again. I played it that way after finding out that the latest patches ...

OR if you have time - you can replay the entire unseeing eye quest from an earlier point and see if it happens again.

Ah - there is a building that you cannot enter as you like and if you do the guards will be hostile. You cannot just barge into homes like if no one lives there - some of the homes (one) belongs to a noble and is part of another part of the story that may or may not be activated during your quests ...

Odd did you accidentally use an area spell? Pick pocket/steal from someone you shouldn't have? Released a monster (the lich) and did not kill it letting it rampage in the city?

Are you talking about the secret door to leave the beholder area - the door to the left of the area where you defeat the beholder? If so all the door should be open in order to get out - but if that door is not open I think you can just walk back out the same way you went in, in order to complete ...

Don't worry about the boots of speed - while helpful - potions and spells can take the place of them. Its not worth the headache of taking it from Renal if that is even possible.

AH so it all worked out. That's great. Have fun in the prison

Hi Sensei

The problem occurred IN the Twisted Rune area and his picture is not greyed out (dead) - it's just gone (imprisoned or so badly hacked/crushed that hit points are negative). Freedom spells won't recover him so I can only assume he is "mega-dead" and unrecoverable.

Out of pure ...

That's odd - only area spells will make friends turn to enemies - be careful when using them. The battle can be chaotic at times - so don't accidentally slice someone by accident - that will turn them against you as well.

I can't think of another reason for why they would turn red. The battles ...

The thrill and fun of the twisted runes - I suggest doing it again - its a great battle and some nice loot at the end for those that survive it. I remember being blasted to nothing the first few times I tried it - how discouraging to see all your characters get blown away without killing even one ...

Must have items hmmmm... alot depends on how you are using your characters and how you play. As a kensai/mage are you more of a warrior or mage? Find the best items for your characters and how you play them is the best advice I can give.

Something important for anyone to bring - is the rod of ...

Make a balanced party helps.

2 fighter types - as tanks

(HINT on WEAPONS: make sure your team members can all use bow/missile weapons of some kind).

1 mage of some kind - to nuke all the monsters or provide protection.

1 mage/thief ( or some kind of combo thief and something) - to picklocks ...

Cast sanctuary and just walk by everyone - open the door - pick up the eggs and leave (also while wearing boots of speed) and don't forget to close the door on the way out.

Well, I'm dual wielding, which means Keldorn could use Casomyr. I could always use Shadowkeeper to change his kit to Cavalier or Undead Hunter.

For a bit more fun in terms of banter use Haer Dalis (the bard) and is quite powerful or Korgan (if you don't mind that he is evil) - and he is a better ...

Thanks for clarifying that. Should I assume this applies as well to Viconia, with her 19 dex?

The difficulty with Vic is her lack of str (10) and weak con (8) - so she needs two items to make her a better fighter - strength belt/gaunlet of some kind or the mace (that gives 18 str) and the belt ...

Gaunlets of dexterity will help Anomen.

As for Jaheria - I've had her using a sling/scimitar combination for distance and melee battles (and/or shield depending on how much melee you want her to do and don't forget to give her good armor). Jaheria also has some incredible spells - insect plague (L ...

Here is an embarrassing moment:

Planar sphere:

We had just defeated the halfling wizards with little trouble which was really surprising for me since I usually have a great deal of trouble battling them but this time around I got away with almost no damage which was in itself a miracle. We move ...
