While attempting to romance Jaheira, she is imprisoned by a lich. Even without her , my party manages to defeat the creep. After casting a freedom spell, she reappears as a non-party member. Before I can even invite her back into our fold, she splits in a huff for the Harper's Stronghold, hurt and resentful. I immediately left my quest (forget which one it was) to get her, only to find the romance aspect forever forgotten. Then I realized I'd been relying on autosaves for the past few days. D'oh. Oh well, there's always Viconia....

Something like that: I was fighting Kangaxx (damm sob...) and I was able to defeat him. In the process, he imprisoned both my fighters, Korgan and my self made (I started this out from a multiplayer with two self-made characters) Barbarian (I called her Druna - tough bitch). I casted Freedom to get them both out and, ta-dah!, here they are. I talked Korgan again into my party (he demanded 500 golds, ofcourse... "will be paid well far this") but my Barbarian stood there and there was noway I could start a dialogue with her (I got the appropriate message too... doh!)
That was so bleeding annoying... I reloaded, killed that mfsob again (after two tries) and the same thing happened again!!! So I just copied the file into the mpsave folder, loaded and imported Druna back - then I had to save, copy the new save into "save" folder etc.
DOH!!!

P.S. The second most doh thing happening to me, is the unseeing eye quest flop: Just the same that happened to Mr Sleep

I was in the asylum and doing that riddle thing- where you twist something on the walll
and it ( i think its some kind of statue) lets you inside its circle and wallops you if you get its questions wrong. well- after about the twelth and last riddle it finally gave me something- i then got inventory full, item dropped in the middle of the circle. i can't get back in there and i can't figure out what i dropped. D'OH!!

I spent 6 hrs getting ready to fight Kangaxx with a low level party. Did all the quests, went to Ribalds and bought some scrolls to help and the Staff of Rynn +4, the only weapon I would have that could hurt him. After all that, I triggered him and hilled his lich form, only to realize I had no one who had staff proficiency! Hit him so seldom that I could see he was regenerating. So seldom, in fact, that the scroll of prot. from magic would wear off before he was dead.

Took 4 more hours just to figure out how to kill him. All that for one ring!

Doing the Underdark Illithid Dungeon. After countless reloads I finished the damn Mindflayers and their brain.
Then I checked my priests spellbook and found 'Chaotic Commands'! AAARRRGHH#@"!

(I have posted this before in "Stupid move")

I killed Firkraag before exploring the upper dungeon-so i haven't found dragonslayer,red dragon shield etc.Now imagine a lvl 9 cavalier with 90 HP trying to kill the red dragon with flail of ages (only proficient) while he is specialized in long swords.

Still haven't been paid a visit by any cowled wizards after my pc mage finished the Planar Sphere, I hadn't realized that the knights needed help, and so didn't, then they disappered, and now I can't seem to do anything with the Sphere....No Sphere! D'oh!!!!

And how about going for the "Staff of magi" with a low level party, after my 50 reload I give up.

Never realized that you can turn the traps off in the first dungeon with wand keys or go around them. I put protection spells on my characters ran through them. Half way through I was almost dead so had to sleep and heal then went the through the rest of them. Did the same thing on the way back. DUH!

After 5th reload I finally killed Kangaxx but Korgan made the killing blow the same time that he got imprisoned and was removed from the party and the party got no EXP for the kill so I had to do it all over. Took 3 more reloads. DUH!

Also killed the whole Eyeless cult off and ended up having to import the key in so I could do the Kangaxx quest.

Yeah, I believe posting that on the internet for everyone to see is another big "D'oh" moment for me. LOL

You can disable those wands? D'oh! I just kinda slowly walked around the traps there...Minsc and his stupid hamster wandered into the traps for a reason unknown to me, and he nearly got himself killed by a flurry of Magic Missiles. How do you turn the damned things off? I couldn't find anything to click on around there....I had all the keys though, just ended up tossing em away when I escaped.

I just came across this classic. Keldorn, hearing that his wife is having an affair with one Sir William of Thorpe, declares:

"Sir William must be hung!"

I'm sure he must be, Keldorn, but I think you mean "hanged." (Silly Americans.)

Here's another moment I just picked up for your readin' pleasure...

I was going to make a thief character, so I start up a new game, and begin the quests in Irenicus's Dungeon. I get to Llych(something like that, the dude with the acorns), kill him, then procede to step right into the trap beyond his room, killing my thief instantly. I realize I haven't saved since the auto-save at the very beginning, so I decide to go ahead and restart since I want a thief bad. So I get back to Llych or whatever his name is, kill him, and proceed to step right onto the trap again, killing my thief....again. But would I try again? HELL NO! Grunk is going to continue on his reign of terror, and I say screw all humans and their stupid romances.
