Minsc quest has timed-out

I left it too long to rescue Dynaheir, and while I was trying to find my way to the Gnoll Stronghold Minsc attacked me. Is there a timer somewhere that I can change, and if so how do I do that? Cheers

Aha, thankyou. Sadly not too useful for Jan then, as he can cast True Sight anyway, but good to know.

'Detect Illusion' theif skill

What does 'Detect Illusion' actually do? I have 150 skill points in this for Jan, expecting that it would dispense with the need to cast True Sight and Detect Invisibility, but I have never had any effect whatsoever from this skill during combat. The most it ever did was expose a couple of mimics ...

[QUOTE=dj_venom]I'll try to keep it vague to avoid spoiling too much. Just read the dialogue a little more carefully, he's carrying out a process making him far more powerful than anyone else, so you cannot fight him while that occurs.[/QUOTE]

:o Ah, we're meaning the bit before you fight him.

Irenicus isn't immune to any spell levels, as far as I know. He may have cast Spell Trap or Spell Turning, in which case your Breach is either being absorbed or is rebounding onto you.

I'm neutral alignment right now, didn't make any of the evil choices in the hell trials, and it can't have been anything I've done since - I went back to an old save and cast Farsight, room's still all watery and nice. It's pretty odd, as the previous room went from lava-blue as normal. Could it be ...

Something's up with my Pocket Plane (poss spoilers)

Taking the second of Solar's tests (the one after you kill Yaga Shura), I walked in to find the room in its calm, forest like atmosphere. After I won the battle, it changed to the lava scene. I know this ought to be the other way round, anyone know why this has happened?

I shall definitely give it a go, I think. The artifacts thing doesn't bother me so much - I always feel kind of sad when I find great weapons that just aren't as good as the stuff I already have. Can never bear to sell them, either :) What does Tales of the Sword Coast add?

Is BG worth it?

I've played through BG2 and ToB plenty of times, but I've never even tried the original. Basically I want to know if it's worth getting the first game, or if I'm going to be disappointed. How different is the older game from the new? I've tried a couple of older RPGs, and a couple of things about ...

You could always just stick with the 3 evil characters already named, then make yourself a Swashbuckler. That way you get the theiving abilities (alot of people don't see them as important, but being able to pick pocket every item you need helps with the monetary situation ;) ), and what I consider ...

This time is my first play-through where I've really taken ranged weapons seriously, rather than just equipping my mage with one to get him out of harm's way. My PC is a bard with a longbow, and I've found him to be pretty damn powerful, so an archer must be even better. I'm extremely lucky to have ...

I tend to do eveything I can before heading to the underdark, like most people here leaving only the rune and kangaxx! It's generally the circus, slavers and bridge murders quests first, then off to the Umar hills as that has the easiest dragon. In a way I'd like to be more role-playingish and run ...

Well, I hadn't fought Dermin before then - so I don't believe he would have been able to give her the Harper pin. This shouldn't matter too much though, should it? Otherwise you'd have to have had the bulk of it finished in Chapters 2 and 3.

Finishing Jaheira romance

A touch spoilerish.


I want to carry on the romance with Jaheira in TOB, and I'm just doing the final battle with Bodhi. I'm a bit confused about what can and can't be carried on in chapter 7 - will I get anymore romance dialogues? Will Terminsel appear, and is Terminsel appearing necessary for the ...

I had a vaguely similar problem when me characters whacked dominated elves... have you tried going back to your last save in the underdark and going through without the AI on? If none of your characters hit anyone, nobody else should turn hostile, I believe.
