Wowzers!

I finally finished HoW and TotLM last week.

Pretty awesome overall. I especially enjoyed the fight with Icasaracht and that whole story.

Just gotta wait for IWD II now and hope they instigate kits. Man, I'll be planning my party for weeks :rolleyes:

Hmm, maybe I should go back to IWD and try more combo's.... :D

Hmm, I am currently playing HOW/TOTL with a party consisting of: Paladin, Gnome Fighter/Illusionist, Gnome Cleric/Illusionist, Elven Fighter/Druid, Half Elven Fighter/Mage/Thief, and a Conjurer, on the hardest difficulty level.

So far, just got to Lower Dorn's Deep. Partie's average level is 12. Gotta love this game =).

BTW: Good news for any scriptors out there, I have found a way to add alot of the bg2 actions/triggers/objects, and even to create new ones, into HOW/TOTL, so it is now possible to write complex AI scripts for HOW/TOTL (characters and Enemies). Email me if interested.

Very cool game! :cool: I am just finishing for the 2nd time, but this time I did the whole game (IWD, HoW, TotL) as a MP game with friends. Very different with all the interractive strategy, but we had a fighter heavy party, so we could take a lot of punishment for foolish moves if needed. :rolleyes: Human Ftr, Dw Ftr, Elf Ranger, Human Ftr dualled to Cleric, Halfling F/T, and Human Conjurer. Very fighter heavy! I felt like Grunt! ;) :D

I find IWD quite difficult. In fact, I have never been able to finish it :eek:

First time through I got a hideous beating by Belhifet : Omar - Belhifet : 0 - 3 :(
My party was too weak :D
Second time through my party was strong but my harddisk crashed while in Lower Dorn's Deep :eek: Lost all saved games...

I don't have the expansions, couldn't find HOW anywhere here, except in a combo with BGII, which I already had !!! Grrr... :eek:
