Heya. I just came out of underdard and see 2 new areas opened up.....i think its the Forest of Tetyr and 'something Pass'. Is it worth going to these places......do they have good items there or important quests?
But to awnser you're questions, there is a great bow in one of the area's and some other magic stuff.
Also every area has a quest (IIRC), and you also can meet some old friends from BG1 there.
Originally posted by Mikael Skiffard I agree, but HE might be lazy or something like that.
He could also have some other reason to hurry, but I can't see why either.
IIRC there's absolutely nothing but scenery in the small teeth pass. It seems Bioware ran out of time while working on those areas.
SPOILER
Two parties attack you in the north forest, but no dialogue, and in the forest of tethyr the Coran quest is simple, as well as for the Mana bow +4 all you need to do is walk in and take it. Not a lot of effort for these things, though the scenery is amazing in the forest of Tethyr.
There are some monsters here and there, but nothing important.
The Darkest Day Mod makes interesting use of this area... there is actually a recruitable NPC with one of the new kits. Aquatic Druid or something like that...
