Well that is nice. Guess I'll be off-handing one of these most of the time now.

Thanks for the lore.

I beleive its simply one extra attack per round overall wether your using one weapon or two and wether its main or off hand.

That sounds like it's *not* constrained to the enchanted weapon, but I'm not sure I was clear. Let me make my question clearer.

Suppose I am playing Korgan dual-wielding ...

So I had always assumed that wielding, say, Belm, in my off hand gave me an extra attack with the off-hand weapon.

But I read something suggesting that you get an extra *main-hand* attack with these in your off-hand. That's a difference.

Can anyone enlighten me on the truth of this? Also, of Belm ...

I didn't realize I could kill Hendak and get the discount that way. I hate to lose the quest XP . . . but if there's an actual evil plot line, I'm definitely gonna follow it.

I did hear know about the Valen mod, but I decided not to use it this time around, still exploring the vanilla game. If it ...

Great. I'll go get H.D. soon then.

Do you know how long I have to get Korgan's book before he gets annoyed? (really enjoying his smart mouth, btw.)

So I'm trying a second run through with an evil party (I guess I'm addicted).

I'm at the very beginning of the new game now. I know I want Haer Dalis in my party for most of the game. I'd like to get him ASAP--but I'm not ready for the Planar Prison yet.

Does anyone know how long I have after ...

I figured it was probably enough, but didn't want to get burned somehow later. (So far, I haven't used the console, though I may reconsider this if I play through again.)

Thanks for the advice.

First time through TOB.

I have been dutifully scavenging up expensive items and selling them, but my spending rate hasn't increased much. I have what seems like a huge amount of gold and the part-time recycling job is getting boring.

I did drop 40K on one item from Cespenar, if there are many ...

As it happens I have a lot of room in my BOH and am impatient to get on with the story, so I took a detour home and threw most of my stash in there. We'll unload sometime in TOB.

Thanks Jordoo.

I'm just starting Chapter 7, entering Suldanessellar.

Do I get to go back to Athkatla before the game stops?

I have a stash there that has some useful stuff, most importantly the keys to Watcher's Keep.

(no detailed spoilers please, it's my first play through).

Thanks fable, I didn't realize that.

I think BG2 is a pretty good game. I'm already thinking about a second playthrough with an evil party, so it's useful advice for the future.

I have Baldurdash installed which is supposed to fix the bugs in the Jaheira romance--I think.

I'll not worry about it too much and read the romance guide if I've got more questions.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I think I have a romance going with Jaheira, but I'm not sure any more.

I just finished Chapter 5. Jahiera definitely paid attention to how long I spent in the bedroom with Phaere. (Didn't sleep with Phaere in my main game, but tried it in an unsaved game and J. made a different remark.)

I assume ...

Ok, I went with Saemon. Got to the point where we all needed a translator and now I must to bed.

I'm kinda starting to like Saemon. I'll still kill him if I get the chance (with joy sir!), but he's entertaining in the meantime.

No way to discuss this without spoilers.

So I got through Spellhold (with a lot of chaos and luck at the end) and now that vampire-infatuated pirate wants me to go with him to the elf town to chase Irenicus.

Or, I could (apparently) just go through the portal to the ...

Thanks for the further advices. Sounds like it's going to be a tough go.

I have an unrelated question that probably doesn't warrant a new thread.

In old-school D & D, druid levels were capped at 14 or 15. I have gotten the sense that this isn't true in BG2, but I'm not sure. So:

Will Jaheira be ...

> I'd suggest a trip to the Crooked Crane in the City Gates area...

Did that, actually ended up feeling a little sorry for the poor guy. Isn't there something in the Evil Overlord rules about not letting your secret weapon get stolen and then used against you? :)

I was totally destroyed by his ...

I'm in Chapter 3 on my first play through. I'm about to go fight some vampires, and I'm pretty sure afterward that I'll be leaving Athkatla for a while to go rescue Imoen. I'm not looking for detailed spoilers, but:

I'm a little concerned about leaving without bringing some non-obvious item that ...

Thanks guys.

So far I've always figured something out in tough battles. We'll see what I can do with the guarded compound. If it's still beyond me, I'll come back later. I'm starting to drag out Chapter 3 as it is.

In an unsaved game I have antagonized the back room guards at the Coronet. I didn't ...

I'm in Chapter 3, running around doing stuff before heading off to rescue Imoen.

I'm trying not to get too spoiled, but I have picked up some spoiling along the way.

I've got some strategic questions and a couple quest specific questions.

1) I just got a new proficiency for Keldorn. Right now he ...
