Hmmm, you really don't like this game do you. As in, you try your best not to like it, lol.

Your recent playthrough was with a solo Mage/Thief, instead of the recommended party of six. And then you complain of lack of party interaction and lack of Hireable NPCs, lol. Well, this game doesn't force ...

The Priests in the Temples normally offer a Resurrection or Raise Dead service, extremely expensive though.

Well, I'm back on track.

Yes, you're right, you do soon start to get used to things once you're up and about in the city. I've now done the Krogan quest, Korlam (Paladin) quest, Circus quest, Bard quest, Yashimoo quest, a little Jahira quest, and some bits and pieces and I'm finding it much more ...

Whoa! That's important information! I'm guessing (guessed) they are all the crowd who've been illusioned into werewolves. But darn it, even when you know what's going on, it's difficult to aplly when they're tearing you to shreds and chasing you through doors in their 100s (well, lots of them anyway ...

Hmmm.

Thanks for all the handy tips, I shall endeavour to complete the Dwarf quest in the Graveyard. Hopefully this will give me enough equipment to take on the Werewolves and I'll hunt around for another mage/theif.

I dunno though, it's on a ticking time-bomb with my patience now. I know it ...

That post made a lot more sense, thanks for that.

Just to correct the minor points - the Djinni said the Jar would either be in one of the bedroom, with one of the Golems or, most likely, very close-by the big bad guy. He never mentioned the Nymphs. Hence, after doing the bedrooms and the Golems ...

1. Thanks, that's usefull!

2. Read everything very closely (ironically, it's now you not reading my post about how I was reading everything carefully).

3. I met the Ogre - got further than that. But it's a lock in. You can't run from a lock-in. & the monsters in this game chase you through doors ...

OMG, am I really going to do this? OMG, why on earth am I doing this? OMG...

But yeah, 20 hours (my time) into the game and I'm sitting back in my chair thinking WTF? And having to find something else to do to take my mind off of my unexpected in-game seizure that had nothing to do with bugs and ...

yes indeed, the final battle in this game is really on the point of ludicrous - the first time. Like most boss battles it's a problem of the unknown. Once you know it's secrets, everything's doable, but on first sight it's totally over-the-top. And I agree, the second part of it is completely ...

That's excellent information, very well done.

I can't update the main post any more, that's why the info peters out around the later levels, because I've reached my word count limit and try as I might, I've run out of things to delete in order to add while maintaining legibility.

Excellent info ...

One is uber-cool, taking your first impression from two is unfortunate. Just try without Heart of Winter first.

Yes, the Severed Hand quests are a pain in the unmentionables. I remember the first time I played I was pretty much WTFing through most of them. I was able to cope because I was still ...

No, no bug, the amount of auto-talk enemies is infuriating. It's even worse if you expend potions of invisibility, a relatively rare commodity in Icewind Dale.

Most of the classic RPGs are quite marathon affairs. Most of them advertise 40-60 hours of gameplay which, for me, tends to be twice that as I like to dither around in the stat sheets and inventories/trade windows. That much time on a game does require a whole heap of extended concentration and it's ...

If there's one thing you can never have enough of in IWD2 it's dead cats, dead people, assorted bones, broken armor and weapons! (lol). The warrior ring is an awesome find though, a fighter-type with a Belt of Beautification and two Rings of the Warrior is amassing a very healthy +3 to attack, that ...

It won't log me out, I've tried everything.

Says there's a java error.

Please get Buck to log me out, thanks.

The only one which strikes me as a bit of pain to enjoy playing is the Cleric/Rogue. I can't help but think that you'll spend 3 hours re-jigging your stats at the start of the game and still not feel happy that the character is viable. Also, throughout the game, I can't help but think Cleric/Rogue ...

I can answer no.1 - yes, I always get incredible lag in that area, did on my XP and no different on my W7. It's the only part of the game where it happens and I'm not sure anyone really knows, honestly, why that little section is like that.

I do the Demon quest differently every time and I can ...

I have a bit more time for a slightly lengthier post at the moment and I'll try and answer some of you queries.

The Amulets and Rings of resistance are a bit annoying because the Deflection Bonus to Armour Class doesn't stack, but the Saving Throws do. No Armour Class points stack in the game ...

That Mace +3 is an awesome find!

I think I'll like your post Claudius for considering to like my post, I think that was very considerate of you.

& those Valhalla summons really rock don't they! (not that I know this of course, cos I don't ever play Bards )
