Apparently, the computer defragments the Hard Disk automatically. Last time I issued a defragmentation it indicated a defragmentation of 3%.

Thank you for the answers. I did not install any mods, but I didn't patch it, either (though the DVD is from 2009, I don't know if patches are necessary in this case).

Thanks for the answers. I think this will be the first case when I Shadowkeeper for actual cheat and manipulation (besides bug ...

And again, some questions.

1. Since I installed the expansion, the game seems to be broken more and more. Time to time, it stops responding, usually when I win a battle. At a certain place (Guarded compound), where a bunch of monsters are summoned - I ran away, cast a Death Spell at them from afar ...

And do not forget that Enrage protects from Maze, and what's the most important, Imprisonment, too. That ability was the last step that ultimately enabled me to solo Liches with my Dwarven Berserker. With that, he was immune to any spell that the Lich could cast; my only concern was to kill it ...

I didn't know that Paladin is supposed to be this special. Radiating Protection from Evil sounds nice, as it's not such a powerful spell; radiating Dispel Magic seems to be a bit overpowered to me.
It helped me to understand the Charisma part, too.
Doesn't Dexterity modify the number of attacks ...

Not necessarily. I don't know how this game considers summoned creatures, but the fact that they appear from nothing, disappear to nothing and give no experience when killed suggests me that they are not real living creatures, rather something else. Mere projections of planes, illusions, or whatever ...

No... You got it wrong.

No death means that I reload at an instant when someone dies (from the party, of course). I needed it quite a lot of time in my first walkthrough, and several times already in now, the second.

What do you mean that good characters do not get Lilarcor or Crom Faeyr? I was ...

Interesting. It is true that I've had no taxing battles so far with my present party, except for one, down in the Pit of the Faithless - around the end where I had to fight four Gauths at the same time, with no chance to separate them. The following tactic could actually do me the job (please note ...

Thank you!
I double-checked my inventory and I had exactly one spare slot (I'm always having trouble with them when I have to go much without seeing a merchant - Throne of Bhaal has fixed it with Potion Cases, Ammo Belt and another Bag of Holding). I did this multiple times, so I used Shadowkeeper ...

Location:
I can't really tell. There were so many places I liked. Athkathla, just as a whole. But if I must say a single one, I say the De'Arnise Keep. My reason will be weird, but I'd bet that once I saw snow falling that area. But I also liked Watcher's Keep. However, I can easily tell what ...

Well, there are plenty of options. IF you ask me, I can advise you to change them regularly. For example, Lilarcor +3 is the best weapon if you have to slay Ilithids. In other, less specific situations, I think that dual wielding is definitely a better choice. Frostreaver+Stonefire is a devastating ...

This time I think it is truly a bug. I'm infiltrating the Cult of the Unseeing Eye for the first time (I simply destroyed it when I played for the first time, and now I see how much I have missed). But there appears to be a bug.

Fine, I got this piece of rod from the Avatar. I assembled it with the ...

i'm not only the president but i'm also a client of the Aerie fan club, so this wounds me deeply. ;~)

aerie is one of the more intriguing npcs in the game for me, and yeah she levels slowly as a mage even compared to imoen - she doesn't have the mage punch of the other single classed mages.

on ...

Right, I've assembled the party for the second walkthrough. Not anywhere near to what I (or anyone here) would have expected.

It all began with... I accidentally discovered the Multiplayer. Soon I figured out that I can easily create six characters and assign all of them to myself, which is ...

Congratulations for finishing the game !

How useful were HLAs for your characters ?

Thanks a lot. It wasn't that difficult, except for several battles I listed above.
If with HLAs you mean High Level Abilities, I can tell you these:

1. Warrior classes: Moderately useful. I didn't use them with ...

All right, finished the game. Final opinions about party members:

1. Minsc: A certain bet. I'm pretty sure I'll try Keldorn, though (but his strength is only 17 as far as I saw, doesn't seem so powerful), but Minsc is a brutally powerful tank.

2. Aerie: I don't think I'll take her next time. Her ...

Thanks for the replies, I guess I'll just switch the shield to the weapon then. Although the shield provides Mind Shield and improves AC by 3, it might be good against Ilithids... If I meet any from now on (I don't forget how Minsc's damage output massively increased when I switched from greatswords ...

no there is nothing wrong with that team, it's solid, has a good balance of tanks, healers, casters, has enough thief to deal with the vast majority of things you need a thief for.

personally i'd likely swap out minsc in favor of keldorn or saravok as imho both of them have more utility than ...

If you're asking whether it is possible to finish the game with this party : Yes. It is. ;)

Thanks a lot. I suspected as much (they had hewn through any enemy that wasn't a Dragon or Irenicus or some sort of super-demon), but I was still interested. ;)

However, my main concern about the party ...

As this is my first game (and I'm not even at the end), I'd like to ask how good you think this party is; I don't have anything to relate to. This is why I'm curious about the opinions of the more experienced players.

I play with the Core Rules, but on four occasions, I had to reduce difficulty to ...
