Usually, if a character "dies" or suffers something like petrification, then he or shield will drop all their containers and dump them on mainchar. If your mainchars inventory is then full, your mainchar will drop items onto the ground, but you usually get the "I can't carry anymore"-message. That ...

Was she wearing it at the time it disappeared? There is a known bug in the game that if your backpack is full the game'll simply dump the item in the top left corner, sometimes it tells you that it's dropped your item on the ground, sometimes it doesn't.

Yes, she was wearing it. Nor was her ...

I just resurrected Viconia after defeating Bodhi for the final time--and discovered that she was missing her Amulet of Power. This has occurred in other games in the past, and I have lost other prized possessions from other characters. Has anyone else discovered that things have disappeared? Does ...

Are you sure the Malison will hit first? I've considered using GM many times, but, I think it's better actually to cast GM manually, THEN have someone pull a sequencer afterwards to make sure their saves are lowered. :)

Well, no, I'm not sure it hits first. I mean, how would you know one way or ...

I rarely use sequencers, needs more micro management than I have the temperament or. My favourite spell trigger is triple dose of chain lightning.

Ooh.... triple chain lightning! I like that one.

Sequencers are definitely easier to maintain if you're a sorcerer than a wizard, since you always ...

You can ask Teos when you see him what to do, that opens the conversations for Ribald and the Prelate. Otherwise you'll never get rid of the Knights of Solamnia :)

Yes, I've done that, but the Prelate only tells me that he'll send men when I fight Bodhi. There is no option for dialog, just his ...

In a minor sequencer, I usually have 2 Melf's Acid Arrows; if there's a mage enemy, I use it on him/her since they do damage over time, possibly interrupting further spellcasting.

Yup, Melf's is good--for one of the spells, but I don't think it stacks, so the 2nd slot might be better used with ...

Whenever I play a mage or sorcerer, I like to keep spell sequencers and spell trigger active. My favorite spell combos are below---what are yours?

Minor Sequencer: 2 magic missiles for sheer impact damage
Sequencer: Greater Malison, Emotion, Blindness--in that order
Spell Trigger: 3 consecutive ...

... and by the time you get to that part money shouldn't be a problem.

Well, true most of the time. This time through I've been spending money wantonly, and actually have only about 9k gold on hand--so Ribald will force me to go out and work for a living. But mostly I'm just wanting to try ...

Everyone says that a mage can send the Knights of Solemnia back after taking over the Planar Sphere by two ways: 1) pay Ribald big bucks at Adventurer Mart; 2) talk with the prelate at the paladin HQ. But I've never been able to initiate any conversation with the prelate in this regard. One problem ...

It occurs to me that this might be an odd by-product of installing a mod. I made the mistake of installing some mod a while back, and I don't even know which one it was anymore.

The mod added a bunch of Duerger in the Nashkel Mines, a strange encounter that is WAY overpowered for a low-level party ...

I have that option turned on, and that's where I'm getting the "+0" numbers. That's what alerted me to the issue. I've never paid any attention in the past, just assuming that the characters were getting their various bonuses added in. If Imoen, for example, is using the Bracers of Archery, a +1 ...

I've been playing BG with the info screen telling me all the to-hit rolls and damage and so forth, and I'm noticing that my fighter always has a +0 to his rolls. He's using a +2 (or +1... I forget) bastard sword which claims that it has a bonus on the THAC0. So shouldn't his rolls read something ...

It seems that I need to have three shields in my backpack if I want to use three sword-and-shield combinations in my quick-draw menu. If my fighter has a short sword, a long sword, and an axe, let's say, and he wants to use any of the three along with a shield--then I must have THREE shields in my ...

I never did get it to work, so I eventually moved on without completing it.

Cheat codes work great for arrows, I found.

Icewind has too many plot holes for my taste, frankly. There are too many occasions when you need to accomplish something in order to move the plot along, and can't possibly ...

Has anyone ever suffered with IWD or HoW chugging along in slow-motion? My computer is plenty powerful to run the game, so I can't understand why everything plods along at half-rate. When I cast an area spell, holy smokes it chugs down even worse!

Any insight on this problem?

You pressed a letter key on the keyboard, I'm guessing. I think it's Y, but it might be H. Hit a few letter keys and it will reappear.

I'm going through the Looneyweird quest in the Heart of Winter at the moment, and I've got a problem concerning the lycanthropy sub-quest.

The guy who sells archery equipment--Emmerich--is a werewolf. I've exposed that fact, but now he won't sell me any equipment. This is a MAJOR problem, since my ...

Ahhh.... now that raises a separate but important question regarding Tutu. I do have Tutu installed on my computer, but I am NOT running it. I'm running straight BG1 with the Sword Coast expansion.

So my new question is this: does Tutu somehow affect the original game files? Will it influence BG1 ...

I have never encountered this party of Duerger in Nashkel mines until this time through BG1. My four-character party are all level 3, and the four Duergers are chewing them to pieces.

Has anyone ever encountered them before? I'm puzzled, since I've never met them until this time through--and they ...
