A Flaming Fist guy (By Corellon I miss them.. They're so comical)stopped me on the way to Nashkel when I was replaying the other day and accused me of being a bandit and ordered me to surrender. I laughed, and thought to myself, uh huh, you and what army, buddy? It's almost sad to look at how weak everything and everyone is.. Remember how HARD the Firewine Bridge ruins were, with those damnable Kobold Commandos with their Arrows of Fire? You think they would even HURT your char by the time you're halfway through ToB? If they could somehow manage to hit you, that is.

Yeah, don't everyone envy those newbies. Now playing SoA again and again seems so boring. The first time I played the game I thought that it was better than any other RPG games and I didn't want to stop playing it... But now after clocking the whole thing a couple of times every thing seems gay. I do hope that they make more BG games.

Err.... guys mind if u tell me what is with the "Elite Waterdeep Guards"? I dunno what they are.....

<font color="gold">Aye, I agree with you fully, Daniel. I really wish I could just start the game all over, without remembering a shit. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

First time's always the best, isn't it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I still remember the first time I played SoA. I was a naive Sorcerer and chose all kinds of 'wrong' spells like Confusion, Dominate, Disintegrate, etc... ...

I still managed to complete the game though, and it was a blast. [img]smile.gif[/img] First time beating Firkragg, Kangaxx, the Twisted Rune, etc... they might not be the most efficient fights I ever had, but the satisfaction of beating them on my own was thrilling. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yeah back when it was all new it was great to see a fresh new story. It's still great, but the sense of discovery made it even better.

I threw a huge strop 'cos I wasn't used to detecting traps. Me, and I've now complteed BG2 and ToB a thousand times with every character (I wasn't allowed to play NWN for 2 weeks...mummy wanted a go and the brother wnated dungean seige and the father got W3, so I had nowt to do)....

Ooooh, how I agree with Daniel. The first time you sat your eyes on the BG box, with the evil grin of Sarevok on the front... aaaw... those were the days. I always get a feeling of nostalgy when playing through or just looking at older games (and things in general), not only because of the feelings you experienced while playing, but also because of the memories attached to that certain era in your life... *sob* Oh, how I'd love to erase the memory of BG2, and play the adventure all over again, like a newbie.
(Still, I've started the game over like ten times now, not playing more than a chapter or two, getting cut off by my computer which has a tendency to break down... so I guess in some ways, I might be considered a newbie.)

After I first tested BG2 and died several times in that damn dungeon, I went and bought BG1, played it first, restarted BG2 and kicked evil's butt. [img]smile.gif[/img]
