7. Valygars evil ancestor, Lavok, lives in the Planar Sphere.

Max score: 19p

PART THREE:

Answer the questions after your own opinion, and give an explanation to your answer. Each answer can give up to two points.
1. What is the best sword in the game?
Bastard= Blade of searing
Long= Blackrazor or Equaliser (Dragonslayer against dragons obviously
Short= Cutthroat + 4
Katana etc= Celestial fury
2 handed= Carsomyr, soul reaver or silver vorpal sword.
Scimitar= Defender +5
All round best IMO= Carsomyr because of it's basic damage value, as well as a huge array of extra cumulative benefits.

2. What is the best quest in the game?
Hmmm, I think the Sahuagin city is one of my favourites because you get interesting items (part of the wave) and the story of betrayal is good, also, you can cheat and betray both sides.

3. What is the weakest creature in the game?
Kobolds because they have one hit die, a crappy armour class and they're just pathetic and annoying, they don't even come in large enough groups to be worth you time to kill for experience.

4. Which is the strongest Dragon?
Red and silver have the highest amount of hit dice, but of named ones, I'd have to say Firkraag was harder than the rest.

5. What is the most effective way of killing, using spells or weapons?
Spells are more useful at high level if you have a few fighters to protect you as they weaken the enemy while you sit back uninjured and pelt them with high level spells uninterrupted, but then if they have magic res., it's useful to have some powerful tanks.

Talthyrs results coming up:............................................... ................................
WOW! Finally an Ao to watch over all the Bhaals!
Talthyr is now the overgod, with the amount of 42 points!
Great work, Talthyr! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
You are truly familiar with the game that is BG2:SoA.
Too bad you got two wrong, though.
I almost want to give you an extra point because you explained very much, but unfortunatly I cant.
Again, very good.

So, anyone out there who manage to get the top-score?

see ya!
