Since your other questions were answered already, I'll just worry with the last one.

*Spoilers if anyone wants to avoid them.*

Yep, Mebbeth was Ravel, as was the odd woman in the Mortuary who would stitch you up if you let her. The woman in the underground city who would remove your intestines ...

Did you try that cloudkill spell? I'd found it did the most damage of any spell in my CO's arsenal. I used to take out 4 or 5 of those bloated giant worms under the city at one time (6000 exp each) with one of those spells.


Cloudkill is fine, but considering how high ...

I was just curious how people have played their CO, whether as primarily a thief, fighter, mage, or some combination of the above.

My first run-through was pretty much as a multi-class on all three. My second was as a mage with thief leanings.

And you...?

Pretty ...

In a pleasant change of pace for me, I'm actually going to make a positive post instead of my usual fare of bile and hate. Enjoy. (grin)

Planescape is definitely worth getting. It's vastly superior to anything in the BG series, and extra-vastly superior to IWD. (In my opinion, anyway.) It's one of ...

So we agree we want more story, not more levels? Um, so are we arguing or not? http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/wink.gif

I can't remember. I think so, though, because you're tired of Baldur's Gate in general and I'm only tired of the protagonist. (grin) The Baldur's ...

BC, whas is the differnce in challange between a lvl 1 PC party fighting a horde of kobolds and a level 31 PC fighting a horde of Balors?

There's your challenge. Like I said, same old sh*t and I'm getting bored of it.

Not even a 21st level PC party could take on an ...

I've enjoyed the BG series but I want it to end, now. IWD/HoW is fresh. I want more things like that. Maybe I'll try something different. Like ballet lessons?

Some spoilers, as always.

I'd rather not see it end, mainly because there are a lot of unresolved story ...

I think I may have jumped the gun and gone into Spellhold too soon. From Darklands can I go back and do all the other Quests that I haven't done as yet or am I on a one way plot to the end? If that is the case then I think I will go back to a save gave and import my ...

Hope this helps

There were a few suggestions in there that I'll try tonight ...

Hmmm...Is there any specific events like battles or spells right before the slowdown? Or are you changing areas, entering buildings?

I've noticed no particular correlation between the slowdowns/lockups and any specific kind of in-game action. Sometimes it happens ...

Originally posted by T'lainya:
IWD came before BG2, and as a result some of the smae rules weren't implemented. I think that the ranger dual wielding situation is like that..not available. I don't know about in HoW, since I'm STILL waiting for my copy. http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/frown.gif ...

Originally posted by TheHellion:
I agree to a certain extent, but I don't quite see how anyone could look at the issue too much from a D&D standpoint. Isn't it specifically a D&D game? In fact, won't almost any reviewer (somewhat beside the point) judge the game based on how closely it follows the ...

Haven't played IWD in a while, and I'm having some trouble breaking my BG2 habits. Two questions in particular come to mind.

#1. At first glance, there doesn't seem to be a "Thief Adventurer" type script. (The constant detect traps one.) Any convenient way I can rectify this situation? It's a pain ...

Somebody set up us the bomb! (snicker)

I'm still shocked at how rapidly that became a fad. I ...

Again, I think some of the later posts in this thread are looking at the issue too much from a D&D standpoint. For instance, I'm seeing a lot of complaints that monsters will be too easy to a level 40. Well, given that the PC couldn't reach 40 in the first place in a real game, what's to say the ...

I'm sorry but this is absolute pap.

In 2nd edition rules this happens:

A fighter is a Lord by level 9 with a stronghold & army
A Priest has a church/stronghold and up to 200 military followers.
Rangers, by level 10, get up to 12 followers (other rangers ...

The ferret DOES look stupid. More like a gerbil than a ferret. I wouldn't call it the best one.

Frankly, I like cat. Why? Absolutely no reason whatsoever. It's one of the ...

your level was.....

Beats me. Probably close to max at the time, which was probably around 23. I know the generic uglies get tougher as you gain levels, but I didn't know they'd actually teleport in to my location for a random battle.

I was just wandering through the sewers under the temple district earlier, near where you kill the sea troll for Roger, and suddenly the familiar five-pointed purple glowing dimension-door sparkly thingie appears. So I thought "Well, that's kind of odd." and waited for a cowled wizard or something ...

My guess would be that this will be along the lines of the "level 30 Heart of Winter" thing. Possible, but extremely unlikely you'll even get close. (As long as I'm on the subject, anyone else think HoW was a bit of a ripoff? It was short even for an expansion, and yet almost as expensive as a brand ...
