POUCH BUTTON !!!!

Bless you, Zorac. Problem solved.

How in Roofdrak's darkest hell did I manage to play all of BG1 and 30 hours of BG2 without finding that button? Just unlucky, I guess.

My thoughts for BG3

Brighter colour around locations with objects to be picked up ( it was better in BG1 )

Better isometrics in dungeons. Difficult to judge where the floor is when its hidden by a wall. Solution 1. Ability to rotate map 90 degrees. Solution 2. Walls become almost transparent when ...

Can't get Arbane's sword to charge .. Help !!

What do I need to do to get that pesky Arbane's sword to charge up it's haste special ability? I've tried using it, equiping it and resting past midnight, tried various characters, some with short sword proficiency, some without, and STILL can't get this haste ability working.

Because of this ...

Romance and solo play?

Are there any romances if you are playing with 6 of your own characters?


P.S. I have noted lots of other posts about romances but I'm not reading them. I'm still playing the game, and trying to avoid spoilers for other stuff as best I can.

"Remote control of time compression/extension"
a) Compresses TV commercial breaks to 1/10 of a second. The "saved time" is used for the next function.

Hey, Gruntboy:

I had that problem of overwritings saves by accident as well. Now I number them all in sequence, keeping 10 at a time before overwriting, ie save 11 overwrites save 01, save 12 overwrites save 02, etc.

Interesting to keep count how many saves to finish a game. I did BG1 with 442 ...

Thanks for the info, Weasel, Chrissy,

I suspect having two characters with the child of Bhaal powers in the same game, would be OK. Otherwise there would be potential trouble in a regular multiplayer game if more than one player used such characters.

However, I still would like to here from anyone ...
