I think Grace also has a couple of special "succubus" talents -- if I recall, her kiss can be quite dangerous in combat.

I've seen what Magus is talking about -- once you cast the Meteor's spell, the meteors exist as your primary weapon until you get rid of all of them. You could rest your character for days and they don't disappear. I didn't realize you could get rid of them with dispel magic, however. Seems like I ...

I played IWD through once and am now playing a new set of characters with the HoW expansion pack installed. I am seeing all the new spells and modifications show up, and my characters have a full complement of gem, potion and spell cases.

The sneak attack stuff is available to you throughout the ...

I created a party that I really liked -- although it was a pretty straightforward group of characters.

Human Female Paladin LG (ended up 11th Level)
Half-Elf Male Human Figher NG (12th Level)
Half-Elf Male Ranger CG (11 Level)
Dwarf Female Thief CG (14th Level)
Half-Elf Male Cleric NG (12th Level ...

Fallout 2 was the game that got me back into RPGs after a long hiatus... I think before I played Fallout 2, the most recent game I had played was Betrayal at Krondor (which had a cool story, neat characters that you could play and develop -- probably it's biggest drawback was that you had to worry ...

When I first got to the Underdark I got too close to one of those portals (I think the Earth one) and I fought 4-5 of them before I realized I should probably get out of the way. And I hadn't yet freed Vithal. As far as I know, the other ones stayed closed, though. So it is possible for those ...

I guess I must be an incredible micromanager -- I am playing BGII with most of the auto-pause settings on and with the AI completely off. It drives me absolutely crazy when my characters run off and do something that I *really* didn't want them to do. And I have too much fun figuring out what my ...

I've had no problem putting every and anything in my Bag of Holding. I just entered the Underdark and I, too, am holding all my old surfacer armor in it while I enjoy the great +5 Drow armor.

I think I read somewhere that you get 20 slots in the bag regardless of weight.

The only time I get "you ...

I might be unique here, but I played IWD before I played BGII (I'm still playing BGII right now). I really liked the locations and the maps in IWD. Many of them had a very realistically creepy quality that when combined with IMHO was awesome music really gave them atmosphere when you explored them ...

Greetings from a Lurker --

I've been running BGII under Win2K -- I installed it under my personal power user account and I have had no problems thus far.

One thing I have noticed though is that the game seems a little unstable -- especially when spell effects start to show up. I find myself dealing with crashes about 1x ...
