Suffice to say, ouch. What are the odds of that?

*cough* What are the odds of that, 1/100000?

I tried to create new "multiplayer" (to be converted into single) for 30 mins by importing some chars from my earlier games and wondered why in the hell I was getting errors all the time. Untill I noticed that i was trying to place my Bhaalspawn from the save into a non-protagonist spot >_>. It seems that the game doesnt really like the idea of having 2 bhaalspawns

I don't know, but I got pretty screwed over in that fight. Who loses to Amalas?

I've been pretty close on a mage.

I got double-embarassed last time. In 1 fight

I was facing a lich, the one in the gate district. The fight was becoming really long and we had both wasted a great deal of our spells. I was badly wounded.

So, at one point I realize that it's running low on spells because it starts casting low level spells. So, that's when I decide that power word stun is a good idea, as it had taken damage too from Horrid Wilting and stuff. Didn't notice spell turning.

I cast. Spell turned on me. Oops. Being badly wounded, it lasts for a while so I'm kinda worried. But still, I have some protections left...

Hero - Casts Power Word: Stun
Hero - Stunned
Lich - Casts Melf's acif arrow
Lich - Casts larloch's minor drain
Lich - Casts larloch's minor drain...
(no more spells)
Lich - Attack roll *insert numbers*
Lich deals 1 damage to *hero*

Oops, no physical protections!
"Oh well, whatever, at 10% hp I got a chain contingency popping."

Later...

Lich deals 3 damage to *hero*
Hero - Spell Turning: Hero
Hero - Spell Deflection: Hero
Hero - Globe of Invulnerability: Hero
Hero - A contingency spell has been triggered
Hero - Protected by Spell turning
Hero - Protected by Globe of invulnerability
Hero - Protected by Spell Deflection
WHERE'S THE STONESKIN?!?!
Lich deals 1 damage to *hero*
Lich deals 3 damage to *hero*

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo...

Dead.

Since when are those things hitting you?

Here is an embarrassing moment:

Planar sphere:

We had just defeated the halfling wizards with little trouble which was really surprising for me since I usually have a great deal of trouble battling them but this time around I got away with almost no damage which was in itself a miracle. We move on to the next room and we encounter more halflings some warriors and a wizard. Easy battle I think but nope its not...

The halfling wizard throws a chaos spell and of the 6 of us 4 don't make their saving throws and so here comes the embarrassing moment:

Of the 4 - one flees in terror, one hides, and two of us are just kind of standing there befuddled and attacking randomly.

No problem you would think - Jaheria is one of the ones that made her saving throw and she has a dispel magic spell all ready to use and Misnc because of his helmet can battle the halfling warriors. What happens - dispel magic fails to get rid of the chaos spell but manages to get rid of all the protection spells of everyone in range.

My kensai/mage goes berserk and kills Aerie (who has lost her stoneskin spell) and as such Minsc goes nuts.

Misnc goes nuts and kills Valygar - and so we have 2 team mates down killed by friendly fire.

The halfling wizard is still firing random spells at everyone - more damage for everyone.

Misnc after killing Valygar goes after Jaheria who is battling the halfling warriors gets attacked by Misnc and has to start running for her life.

This has to be the longest 5 minutes we've ever had to endure...everything is chaotic and no one is taking care of the bad guys as we are more preoccupied with killing each other.

My kensai/mage after being reduced to 70% of her HP finally has endured the duration of the chaos spell and goes on the counterattack and kills the halfling wizard finally ending the threat. But Misnc is still nuts and my kensai/mage has to occupy him while Jaheria resurrects Aerie and Misnc finally calms down.

Lucky they don't hold grudges or don't remember what happened while under the chaos spell or there would be a lot of serious payback from Aerie and Valygar.

Falling Behind

I have owned this game for a very long time, I defeated Irenicus twice but had not finished TOB. My two sons have been playing and asking me for advice that I continued to deny them. Last week they both finished TOB. Now I'll have to ask them for advice. When I first played BG 1 I did not know about the auto-save function when traveling between wilderness areas. I lost a few items when NPC's would get killed during encounters.

After xx hours of playing as sorc (solo) : During the fight with Nalmissra (Watchers Keep 5) i noticed that i picked protection from NORMAL weapons instead of MAGICAL ones.

Two weeks ago - After god knows how many BG2 plays - i discovered Limited Wish quest

I did not use (know) the pause button for first few hours of Baldurs Gate, and kept wondering "How the hell am i supposed to scroll through spells while beign pwned!?"

On my laptop i was cheat-killing (Ctrl + I i believe?) all "unimportant" NPCs, to speed the game. just to discover much, MUCH later that one of the NPCs WAS important..

Thats all i can recall at the moment

it's all jan jansen's fault.

i had been experimenting with using the ai to direct some of the support players and had downloaded some better scripts.

this particular game i went straight to the gov. district as i wanted to experiment with the xan npc mod.

added him, and he auto cast stoneskin, warning #1.

then i added jan, again left the ai on.

auto cast stoneskin and the wizards ate me for lunch.
