Hi guys

I just was able to kill the shady dragon with a solo vanilla druid, that was quite cool. My druid was at the 13th level - so not a huge tank. After a couple reloads I got it right. I am using plan SoA+ToB with ease, item, and TDD - I went there in fact to get the fabled staff of fleet ...

hi guys

is there a way to remove the annoying blur graphic effects from all the items that give such effect. It would be great if you could explain me also how to remove the horrible stone colour from the stoneskin effect - I like to see the colors of my characters unnerfed

oh, I didn't know the axe gave a save... You are detroying one of my favourite weapons... shame on you

Hi guys

I jyst had the most amazing encounter ever in BG2. My party is very overkill,
R/C
f9 dual to druid D29
f13 dual to cleric C34
f9 dual to mage M25
f12 dual to mage M22
T12 dual to mage M24

I am playing ascension, tactics, tdd, ease, item upgrade, etc...

I was at the marching mountains and ...

why don't you try to use arrows of dispelling to bring down his protections and then go in and smash him to pulp? Chaotic commands would be most precious to avoid being stunned...

I am sorry about the staff of fleet - you have to kill the dragon to get it...

Hi, this is my first time soloing a dragon without using traps. I need a lot of advice and some tactics. I'm that determined that I don't want to use another party member to get this done. I'm playing as a stalker that's proficient in Quarterstaffs and long bows. I would like to know any tactics ...

That is not sth with what I would want to take on a shadow dragon, a specially one that has a habbit of dispell magic. My first guess would be to use the best enchanted staff available to you and bring plenty of invisibility potions. Backstabb it till it drops. Of course all the regulars come to ...

I think that if they would just stick to the equipment that was available in the standard AD&D P&P there would be far less problems.... the equipment, in my opinion, was a lot more balanced than the one we see in most mods...

The P&P was pretty balanced - I might agree that it wouldn't transfer so ...

they got even better in edition 2.5 which, for me, remain the best edition of AD&D ever

regarding monsters, I agree on the rust monster - it was in eye of the beholder 2, if I am not mistaken and that was a pain!

Tarrasque ;-)

gosh, I still have nightmares about the manticore!

I decided to quit IA alltogether. From reading more reviews of it, it doesn't seem like my cup of tea. The game is definitely so heavily tweaked that it doesn't seem like the old game anymore - spells removed, all items reworked, etc.

It would've been fine if it had been a total remake OR a ...

gosh they must have changed ascension a lot if you hardly manage that fight with 20 planetars... I remember I had a tough fight (with ascension+tactics) but nothing even close to 20 planetars... I just bashed the ... out of everybody with a FMT, jaheira and aerie... I don't even remember having to ...

you are forgetting about Ilyich...

well, I don't know about characters (even though a F/M/C always felt overpowered to me, besides being completely absurb from a roleplaying point of view), but I am now going through Tactics with a group of
1 R/C (main)
1 berserker dualled to druid at 9th
1 berserker dualled to cleric at 13th
1 ...

yes, absolutely, install ascension first

Many of the enemies in Tactics cast infinite spells, and have more hit-points, lower AC and such than they would have according to pen & paper AD&D. That's what people refer to when they say the enemies in Tactics use 'cheese,' I think.


Hi all

I have recently reinstalled BGII after years of ...
