Darn it, I liked this game

I am also running BG1 yet again (I am heading Nashkel Mine

). It is annoying, though, to struggle with a bunch of Hobgoblins and Ogres after all these years, really...

That's what makes it fun Minerva.

Never mind wading knee-deep in Balor blood.

Try taking on theose kobold commando's with their darned fire arrows. Ouch!

Oh, I hate fighting Kobolds. I got used to useing fireball or wands to burn them for easy clear up, but not in Chapter 2 of BG1! I have to kill them one by one (not literally), which is really annoying.

On the other hand, it is more fun to take time fighting.

Personally I like to blame Jews and blacks whenever a computer game features something I don’t like.

(This is sarcasm folks! Don’t flame me!

) The big wilderness parts of Baldur's Gate were great; the overall walking speed was the problem. They fixed that problem in BG2 but unfortunately took away the large outdoor sequences. If they included the same sized areas in BG2 (with the improved walking speed)no one in the U.S. would have had a problem with it.

One can only hope G.W. gets his ass in gear and doesn't let them get away with this sh*t like his predecessor.

The nuclear secrets they stole from Los Alamos alone warranted swift reprisal but the damn spineless bureaucrats won't get off their assess and draw the f*cking line.

GW seems a lot tougher than BC. Its hard to believe that this "Cold War Espionage" stuff still goes on. Someones gotta oppose those commies though!

And here I thought my overzealous patriotism had scared everbody away!

I'm gonna have to watch Red Dawn and the Hunt for Red October now that I'm in this whole Cold War mood.

Kayless, you're a cold war warrior.

Welcome to a dieing breed.

I guess I've really dated myself.

I wish someone would have told me when the Cold War expiration date ran out.

Can't find BG? Woah! There's a whole section of an aisle at my local CompUSA devoted to BG/TotSC/BG2/IWD, etc.

However, it did cost me $20 US 3 months ago! Sheesh!

One can increase the speed of the game in options meerly set the AI update slightly higher, not too high mind you otherwise you might end up finishing the game in 10 minutes
