It's set up properly, with no known viruses or other problems. Nothing else has caused anything similar - the first time I have noticed these problems was when I started running the game.
Everything else seems to function fairly normally - I do notice a distortion if I get a "mail" notice while the ...

After playing for a while, my game will suddenly slow down dramatically. At this time, game sounds start becoming very slow - I will hear individual sounds, rather than speech or yells or whatever.
Any idea what might be causing this? It really ruins what might be a decent game!
I have installed ...

Help! My sorceress can't cast spells!
She gets to choose new ones, but when she goes to cast them, she gets a "beyond sorceror's ability" message. Wassup?

Personally I will never feel "immersed" as long as the game has a 3rd person view. It always makes me feel like a spectator rather than a participant.
I really did like the NPC's in this one. What I miss is having some more specializations skill-wise, both for the main character and the NPC's. I'd ...

Why do I like Jaheira? 2 little words - FIRE ELEMENTALS!
The druid spell works much better than the mage version, and these really kick butt. Often they can take out an entire enemy party alone, since they can't be hit by less than a +3 weapon!
Minsc may have Boo, but no NPC has anything to match ...

- More character development, like the old Wizardry series.
- Choice of a real turn-based combat system
- Non-linear plot
- Suspense and surprises
- Decent combats and decent challenges
- Screw "decent" - make that "genuinely tough", especially towards the end of the game.
- Something to ...

Thnx for the quick replies. Guess I'll know better next time. Guess I'll have to make due with my "Crom Faer".

ShadowKeeper will easily fix this. Just put the pieces back into your inventory, and make like you found them there!

Because a mage can not use weapons because he lacks the training needed to wield them. A cleric has taken an oath never to shed blood, wich forces him to use blunt weapons. I know it's really wierd and pretty lame but that's the explanation.

Why is it that a dual class fighter (from a mage) can use weapons that a mage can't, but a dual class fighter (from a cleric) cannot? He is still under the same limitations that a cleric is under. I could understand it if he were a multi, or if cleric was the new class. However, if you change the ...

Just complete the quest (as a mage, of course) and stop back every so often. You will be given them by a cowled wizard.

Or if you are FoulDwimmerlaik, you kill your apprentices! que manical laughter mwahaha.

Well, I can rest outdoors. The problem is, most of the times that I need to rest I'm INDOORS! It's a major pain to traipse ...

The spacebar idea didn't work - as soon as I hit save, it dropped to explorer.

..mmmh..difficult one! Might be that the game has somehow lost the track of the video-sequence of resting (tent etc.). Check whether the directories Cd2 and Cd3 with sub-d's movies are still there with 437 and 417MB in (full-install). Could also be that the ...

For some reason, the game has started crashing whenever I try to rest. It simply closes the game and returns to Explorer. Up until now, it had been running fine, but suddenly it started this.
I have reinstalled the game, as well as the patch, but to no avail.

Does anyone have any idea what the ...

I am have a dual class character, but did not get a keep for my first class, despite the fact that this was the first "stronghold quest" that I did.
I would like to know how one can get multiple strongholds, especially after the fact (through either Shadowkeeper or the CLUA commands), since I do ...

Have you tried to kick Anomen out in the Underdark and pick him back up in the city?This might help reset the quest.

Unfortunately, I cannot return to the Underdark. I have no saves from that time.

In my first game, I had him along, but I got really sick of his arrogant, self centered character, and eventually dumped him for a NPC that fitted my party better. Note ...

But what to change it to?

Frankly, I do not think that this is a timer problem. The speech activation of the father is continual - he keeps breaking in with the same sentence, so much so that it is almost impossible to move.
Further, I ...
