I'd say the Lost Followers are potentially one of the three hardest fights in the game, and an optional one at that so it's bound to be hard.

Firstly they are all undead, so I wouldn't have thought that Death spells like Wail of the Banshee would work on them anyway. What you probably need to do is ...

You mean like the NVidea logos that have played at the start of games for around a decade now?

I draw the line at the point it doesn't make sense within a particular game - they can put all the ads they want in Deus ex as its a near future game with tons of fictional advertising in it anyway ...

I understand it's vaguely annoying, but does it really matter? It's not as if you are obliged to look at them or buy the product advertised. In a sci-fi game where advertising isn't out of place, I really don't mind whatsoever if it means that developers get a little extra money to help make a good ...

According to the walkthrough my thief should be able to disarm the lightning generators in the Z'Hinda Citadel. My thief is level 13 with a Thieving skill of 12. When he tries to disarm a lightning generator the system says he can't pickpocket a hostile. I don't know how else to disarm a device ...

I disagree about druids. They are better in IWD2 in some respects, but there is no reason to even take a druid along unless you use a mod such the weidu mod including druids. The reason is that druids don't get domains and their spells are poor compared to sorcerors. They are cool with the weidu ...

But if it is pretty much a set chain of counters then surely it becomes a (admittedly energy intensive) automatic tactic rather than actually granting any more choices? Besides, when I was doing my co-op runthrough of BG2 it effectively ended up as cloudkill spamming a lot of the time.

In my mind ...

3rd edition does give you far more tactical options, indeed.
But Icewind Dale II doesn't have any spells with any potential. Magic system was completely and utterly dumbed down from BG2.

One can not even compare the two games combat-wise.

I'm intrigued, what exactly do you define as potential ...

Icewind Dale II has simplified combat and terrible story - avoid!

IWDII has simplified combat? How on earth did you reach that conclusion - 3rd edition gives you far more tactical options than pretty much all the 2ed Infinity games. As for the story, it's no Shakepeare, but its perfectly ...

I completed the Eight Chambers. According to the Walkthrough map there is a door (10) behind the guy in charge of the Chambers. I can't find it even using the ALT key. There are some stairs which I went down. When I went down the stairs the map said I was in the Underdark Passage. I never saw ...

i'm considering rolling a barbarian for the next campaign i'm joining but i'm stuck on race, i really want to be a halfling but i'm concerned id just be gimping myself

does teh bonus dex, +1 to hit and +1 AC offset the lsot +1 to hit +1 damage from the lost strength

should i jsut go human or ...

Do you mean in terms of rules or setting?

I ran a mini campaign last year using the general rules but quite loosely, the setting and story were original as were a selection of the monsters - I find the trick is to use the existing material to aid in creation of the new stuff and make it quicker ...

I'd also highly recommend The Witcher. A mix of magic use and swordwork is essentially built right into the character.

You play an already-created protagonist (though at level up you can decide where to focus his skills), but his personality is so well developed and the story so deep and well told ...

No they wouldn't that would be more Neutral Good than Lawful.

There seems to be some confusion about what defines good in terms of alignment, there is only one truly good alignment, and that is Neutral Good, which puts goodness above anything else. As has you point out, Lawful Good people are ...

I think the thing you have to realise is that within one religion, people do not hold precisely the same views. The abortionist killing catholics someone mentioned earlier believe they belong to the same religion as a little old lady who takes everything in the bible very seriously but doesn't try ...
