Siege of Improved Ust Natha (SCSII, Insanity, Commentary)

Post by Stworca »

Hi there, unwashed one!

It has been a long time since i tackled any difficult BG2 encounter, and it has been a long time since i had Ust Natha working as i wished it to.

Yesterday both of the above statements became invalid, when i managed to successfully record the Siege of Improved Ust Natha.

The fight is over an hour long (so is the video)
There is some microphone static (i'm sorry for that. It's less - not? - noticeable once the fight begins)
I am terrible at voice commentary in English (Why else would i make TEXT LP's?)

But it's worth watching nonetheless, even if you're going to mute the volume. This is a unique, ball-breaking encounter that very few people tried at all. Even fewer on insanity.

The video can be found here

Awww... I feel sorry for Monks... Getting chunked by a balor... :( I think you're taking 90+ damage because of insanity level, btw. :)

Great fun, Stworca! Did I mention you have a nice accent?

I haven't even noticed that someone responded! My deepest apologies!

Aye, the 90+ damage chunks are indeed caused by Insanity, we were expecting them to be honest!
Monks will be the sole exception of a reverse-permanent-death, as we were able to save her, but did not, to not break the "rules".

The static is tragic, and thus i will have to re-record the fight soon! :rolleyes:

Ihave not watched it in full yet. Suffice to say it is already impressive albeit from a RPG point of view still ridiculous that 6 people wipe out a drow city. :p

How many people did it take to destroy Hiroshima or the twin towers. :(

Unforunately it doesn't take anywhere near as many people to destroy as it does to build something. :(

I'm just glad that in the real world most of the time there are more builders than destroyers, otherwise we'd all be in a worse mess than we are.
