Where can I find a challenge?!

Why use the same tactics a second time through. Surely you must have realised that was why you found it too easy, to do the same thing again, no offence, is pretty stupid.

If you found BG2 SOOO boring a second time through, why are you still playing it, why are you coming on this board, I don't care personally, but clearly you must like something about the game. Personally I've only played the game once, but I'm on my second time through, trying new teams, new spells, new quests. It's just as fun and yeah I have used the potion tactic of master thief twice and you know what, I felt 'cheap'. Like I didn't deserve the itmes, so I abandoned the Blade of the Roses and the scroll of magic protection in the wilderness (random attack place) and I felt SOO much better.

Of COURSE I used the same tactics on the Red Dragon! They worked the first time; I was proud I had "discovered" it. Remember I had not read anything about the game my first time through. How was I supposed to know it was a bug and I was losing out on a great battle? I ain't got ESP! I had NO clue it was a major flaw. It's such a basic tactic I STILL can't beleive you can kill dragons like that. Sheesh. Why do you say it's stupid to do it again? It is of course smart to repeat what works, or at least try it out!

I love BGII UNTIL it gets too easy and boring. I always have the most fun early on before the powerful levels/weapons. It's clearly a great game, possibly one of the best ever made. The most fun I've ever had? Early-level soloing with a not-so-great character class. Fun, challenging, hard, scary.

I'm glad you abandonded the Blade of Roses if it made you feel better. Once I started reading this board I quickly changed my tactics from "cheese" (though I was ignorant of this at first) to more "hard core" rules and yes, it was more fun, we agree! I agree!

A'll I'm saying is...wouldn't it be even BETTER if you never got the option to GET the Blade of Roses? (i.e. BGII was made "harder")? In other words you could strive as hard as you possibly could, with all your ingenuity, and still have tough, tough battles to fight?

That's what I want.

Those of you looking for a challenge should check out the patches at [url="http://members.home.net/mrkevvy"]Baldurdash[/url]. There are bug fixes for a lot of things, including the crappy dragon AI. Apply the one pertaining to this, and the dragon will come kick your @$$ if you cast a cloudkill in his direction.
