Sir Goulum 02-20-2002 12:06 PM

1. 5?

2. 49?

3. 3

4. No Clue

5. Orcs

6. No Clue

7. Sarevok

8. No Clue

9. No Clue

10. Same as Above

11. Steal an Amulet from The Temple of Talos.

12. Dunno

13. Werewolf

14. Giran

15. Underdark Exit


PART 2

1. Dunno

2. 2. One of the guys that buried Tirdir is dressed in Red.

3. Dunno

4. The Dao Djinni in Trademeet wants you to get the Head of the Rakshasa ___________.

5. To save the FAIRIES in Irenicus' Dungeon, you must give some ACORNS to their sister in the Windspear HILLS.

6. Dunno

7. Dunno


Part 3

1. Equilizer because you usually fight evil characters and the Equilisers purpose was to bring everything to true neutral. It does most damage to evil chars.

2. De'Arnise Hold because the trolls are quite easy and you get a huge reward for finishing it. Also you get even more XP if you are a fighter and get the keep because you get the mini quests to do for the keep.

3. Goblins because they can take only 12 damage or you can just cast a Firball spell and it wipes them all out except for maybe 1 or 2.

4. I haven't fought any dragons yet so I cant tell you.

5. Have all of your cleric(s)/mage(s) hammer the enemy(s) with spells left and right and have your fighter(s) take out the ones that have magic resistance. Works really well and takes out even the strongest enemy forces!

1. What speed-factor is the regular flail?
-?
2. How many estates excists in Athkatla? (All districts)
-?
3. How many scimitars is found in Irenicus' Dungeon?
-?
4. What race is the warriors in the Planar Sphere?
-Can't remember them ever saying something about it, but all paladins must be humans, right? [edit]
5. What is the name of the warrior from BG1 who are found in Firkraggs Dungeon?
-Tazok
6. What is the Cavaliers special immunities?
-?
7. Who wanted revenge on Gorion?
-Firkraag
8. What does the Shade- and Elemental Lich guard?
-Kangaax body-parts
9. What item do the Mind Flayer behind the Mind Flayer-door in the Dungeon behind Spellhold guard?
-the +4 sword for evils [img]smile.gif[/img]
10. What animal-shape has Montaron taken?
-Bird(sparrow I think)
11. What is the first mission Mae'Var wants you to do?
-steal from a temple (opposite of your aligment)
12. How do you kill the Empathic Manifestation?
-with a cure-spell
13. What animal can Cernd Shapechange to?
-Werewolf
14. What is the name of the boy who tells you about the Umar Hills?
-?
15. Where is the entrance to Suldanellesar?

Fill in the missing words. Each correct word gives one point.
1. Sir _Sarles_ need 200 pounds _Illithium_ to make a statue to the Temple of _Helm_.
2. One of the guys that buried ________ is dressed in _Red_.
3. _Elthan_, the elven leader, says you must recover the Rhynn _Lanthorn_ in order to access _Suldanellesar_.
4. The Dao _Djinn_ in Trademeet wants you to get the _head_ of the Rakshasa ___________.
5. To save the _Dryads_ in Irenicus' Dungeon, you must give some _acrons__ to their sister in the Windspear _Hills_.
6. _Drizzt_ do'Urden have two good scimitars, the _Frostband +3_ and the _Twinkler (Defender +5)_.
7. Valygars evil ancestor, _Lavok_, lives in the Planar _Sphere

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?
-Hard to say. Holy Avenger gives the higest +, but it is only for paladins. If you are not a paladin, the Vorpal Sword is very good, while you have a chance of instantly killing your opponents. Though, I would say that the Black Razor is the by far best sword, with its leveldraining abilities, regeneration and all.

2. What is the best quest in the game?
- I would say the Quest for the Bards Stronghold, or for the Mages.
3. What is the weakest creature in the game?
-Desised Gibberling.

4. Which is the strongest Dragon?
-The Black Dragon. I don't know if perhaps Firkraag has more HP, but the Black Dragon castes his insects, making it impossible to cast spells on him. Being a mage, I rely on my spells much in battles against strong opponents, and this forces me to rely on my tanks.

5. What is the most effective way of killing, using spells or weapons?
-Spells. Especially in the beginning of the game, with your midlevelspells. The sixth-level spell Death is wonderfull, and takes out over ten bandits, and all the Umber Hulks you'll ever meet. Sometimes, though, wepon is necesary, if you are being disrupted or are out of spells. But mostly magic I think.

uss 02-20-2002 04:08 PM

hmm, i`ll take a try..
1.5?
2.damn many [img]smile.gif[/img]
3.3?
4.solamnic knights are human, and the ones that chew human flesh are halflings
5.Tazok(cool warrior!)
6. fear and poison immunities, and fire and acid 20% res.
7.firkraag, the nasty red dragon, and lets not forget gorion
8.Golden arms/legs and torso
9.wand of wonder and the hammer before crom feyr(hammer of thunderbolts?)
10.Bird
11.steal the the necklace with talos symbol from the weathermistress
12.Heal him, instead of damaging him
13.werewolf, greater werewolf at lvl 13
14.Delok
15.Forest of..(damn, i`m a chronical restarter)
PART 2
1.sir sarles.. illithium ore.. helm, or talos if you`re evil
2.Tirdir..Red
3.-,Lathorn..Suldenessar
4.Djin..head..ithafeer
5.dryads.. acorns.. hills
6.Drizzt,-,-
7.Lavok.. Sphere
PART 3
1.there are two. Silver Sword and Carsomyr.
Silver sword can kill guys with one blow. i killed gromnir(ToB) with it. Carsomyr, on the other hand, is +5, has 50% magic res and has dispel magic which can take off some good mage defensive spells(stoneskin)
2.Thieves guild. get much exp for doing nothing(though killing rajick gethras was difficult)
3.goblins. even mages can hit them and sometimes kill them in one blow. or if it counts.. rats, cats, groundhogs, rabbits and other cute little furry animals that don`t attack you.
4.firkraag, i think, because he has stoneskin and a nasty fireball attack
5.hide in shadows is useful even for a spellcaster. i think, that finger of death is a very good spell(though others might disagree) I`ve killed that black dragon in suldenessar and other powerful bosses with it.

BTW, i think that sir goulum is talking about questions 5 and 7 in part 1

Sir Exxon 02-20-2002 04:16 PM

<font color="gold">Counting Wedins results........................................... .................
A 33-pointer! Another great result! You are then also Bhaal.

Helspanth is still the leader.

Btw, both question 5 and 7 is common in BG2, but I understand why people would say they also are BG1.</font>

Sir Goulum 02-20-2002 04:27 PM

The Gorion question! How is that SoA????? He is BG1!!! Seriously. He is. Honest.

<font color="gold">Yeah, I know he's BG1, but you'll understand when you come to Firkragg.
But I can understand why you reacted on that when you havent met him yet.</font>

Tormentor 02-20-2002 06:34 PM

woah, get a life please [img]tongue.gif[/img] hehe sorry....

Sir Goulum 02-20-2002 06:35 PM

whered you get the cool sig Sir Exxon??? mine is poor.

Faceman 02-20-2002 08:27 PM

1. 7?
2. I'm not going to count that
3. dito
4. Halfling
5. Tazok
6. fear,poison, etc.
7. Firkraag
8. Kangaxx Bones
9. The Elder Brain ... or were you referring to a part of the Equalizer
10. bird
11. Steal either a statuette fom Lathander temple or an amulet from Talos
12. Cast some healing spell (preferably from the scrolls right there)
13. Werewolf
14. I forgot.
15. Forest of Thethir I think (may be mispelled)


1. Sir Sarles need 200 pounds Ilithium to make a statue to the Temple of Helm.
2. One of the guys that buried Tirdir is dressed in red.
3. Elhan, the elven leader, says you must recover the Rhynn Lanthorn in order to access Sudanesselar.
4. The Dao Djinn in Trademeet wants you to get the head of the Rakshasa Ihtafeer.
5. To save the Dryads in Irenicus' Dungeon, you must give some acorns to their sister in the Windspear hills. (Isn't she their queen rather)
6. Drizzt do'Urden have two good scimitars, the Frostbrand (+somewhat) and the Defender (+5 I think).
7. Valygars evil ancestor, Lavok, lives in the Planar Sphere.

1. If Watchers keep is included, I vote for Angurdaval Sword of Flame
ELSE
The Celestial Fury, because everyone can use it and its stun effect is better the Vorpals Death Spell as it occurs more often and
results in immediate death likewise (cause my whole party keep slashing their swords on the stunned opponent)
Carsomyr is only for Paladins, Soul Reaver only for evils, Blackrazor is too late in the game and needs an evil decision. Daystar rocks agains Lichs but is kinda useless against others. Flame Tounge is handy in the beginning when fighting trolls.
2. The Limited wish quest and the "There is a WHAT in their chicken" quest. I like funny sidequests, "Idle hands in Imnesvale" rocks, too.
If you are referring to something bigger I would vote for Firkraag, because it holds nice items and challenging opponents early in the game.
3. Aerie! ... no comment
The gibberling, it can be dispatched most easily and I never had one do any damage to me.
4. Including WK: Saladrex. He's smart and attacks as soon as you cast Haste or Protection from evil on your party while preparing for battle.
in plain SoA I'd say: Adalon. She starts healing very early, if you
are going for a "Cloud Kill" and is the only dragon I never managed to take down with a Finger of Death. If your going into melee combat her Invisibility can be annoying.
5. Backstabbing ... runnning ... hiding in Shadows ... backstabbing again.
Spellcasting is the coolest way to kill, but mer hack'n slash does the trick most of the times for normal enemies, and mages are easily dispatched with Gesen Bow shots from Mazzy "Machinegun" Fentan.


edit: could you mail me the answers at faceman-bjk@gmx.net

[ 02-20-2002: Message edited by: Faceman ]</p>

Tancred 02-20-2002 09:09 PM

Part 1

1) I'll say 7, because it's my lucky number.

2)I thought about this, and my brain hurt, but: 9.

3) 3.

4) I'll say Halfling. I have my reasons.

5) Tazok the Half-Ogre!

6) Charm, Disease and Fear. I like Cavaliers.

7) Firkraag.

8) the Golden arms-and-legs and torso of Kangaxx.

9) Er... not a clue!

10) This is a trick question! You THINK he's a bird...

11) Robbery; either the Necklace of Talos or the Idol of Lathander.

12) Heal it.

13) Werewolf.

14) Delon.

15) The NE corner of the Forest of Tethyr.

Part 2:

1) Sir Sarles needs 200 pounds of PURE Illithium to make a statue to the Temple of Helm.

2) One of the guys that buried Tirdir is dressed in red.

3) Elhan, the elven leader, says you must recover the Rhynn Lanthorn in order to acess Suldanesselar.

4)The Dao Genies in Trademeet wants you to get the head of the Rakshasa Ihtafeer. (I think that's the right spelling...)

5) To save the Dryads in Irenicus' Dungeon, you must give some acorns to their sister in the Windspear hills.

6. Drizzt do'Urden have two good scimitars, the Defender +5 and the Frostbrand +3.

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

Part 3:

1) Best sword? er... Lilarcor. Yes, Lilarcor, for many reasons. One, it's easy to get right from the beginning of the game, and you don't have to take on anyone powerful to get it; three NPCs ave the requred skills to use it (Minsc, Keldorn, Sarevok) so it can be used by many party compositions, if not by the PC themselves; it's a solid weapon, with +3 to THACO and damage, and a very useful sideline in mind shield; and it's potentially the mot amusing magical item in the game. The stress relief factor of Lilarcor outweighs anything else.

2) Best Quest? The quest for Adalon's Eggs. A nicely written quest, a bit of subterfuge, lots of XP on offer, a different outcome for good and bad PCs, fun characters to meet, lots of things to do... and it's practically all of Chapter 5. The sheer feeling of achievement when you manage to complete it is excellent.

3) Neeber, the irritating 'heya!' guy from Trademeet. One anything and he's dead. Only a barefisted punch won't kill him. I class him as a creature because no mere human is that annoying. Korgan? This man bothers me, put an axe in his skull, will you? Ah, thank you.

4) The Black Dragon in Suldanesselar. He's the weakest statistically, so why? Simple answer - he's the only dragon you HAVE to fight. The Shadow Dragon can be avoided; Firkraag doesn't have to be challenged; Saladrex can be sidetalked; the Green Dragon in Hell can be reasoned with; Adalon does't attack on sight. Nizidramanii'yt is the only one who must be fought (outside any stupid tricks like dropping you equipment and then trading everything you carry, which is just silly!). Plus he has a nasty complement of druid spells along with the usual dragon arsenal, and isn't easy to beat by any means.

5) Weapons. So many things can go wrong with spells; they can be disrupted, someone makes their save, yadda yadda. Once you've used a spell, poof! It's gone. It's possible to complete the game with swords alone (even switching to fists to get around Protection from Magical Weapons) but not with spells alone. Even that guy from Baldurdash with the solo mage relied on his staff and sling a lot. Swords are reliable, and they don't run out.

lavos 02-20-2002 09:39 PM

OK I'm doing this without any help (playing game, manual..) Hope I'll get about 10 points [img]smile.gif[/img]

1. don't know
2. many
3. don' know
4. halfling
5.
6. skeletons nad other undead things, i think
7. sarevok?
8. that demilich?
9. probably ther car keys
10. Who in the name of bhaal is montaron
11. Who in the name of cyrius is mae'var
12. Who in the...
13. I know that wherewolf and greater wherewolf
14. I know he's at the gates, but his name??? Maybe Kenny?
15. In some big tree in some forest

1. Sir Exxon need 200 pounds of mithril to make a statue to the Temple of dictrict.
2. One of the guys that buried the man is dressed in red.
3. ________, the elven leader, says you must recover the Rhynn _______ in order to access ___________.
4. The Dao Shah in Trademeet wants you to get the testicles [img]smile.gif[/img] of the Rakshasa Omar.
5. To save the __________ in Irenicus' Dungeon, you must give some __________ to their sister in the Windspear hills.
6. Drizzt do'Urden have two good scimitars, the frostsomething and the defender.
7. Valygars evil ancestor, Bill Gates, lives in the Planar sphere.

Best sword in the game for me: the celestial fury, damage like two handed sword speed like scimitar, and very good side effects. If dual wielded with Crom Faeyer = death to all. (the most powerful sword on the other hand is Holy Avenger but it is two hended, and paladins can't be masters in any weaponry)

Best quest? My favourite the one where Edwin got breasts [img]smile.gif[/img]

Weakest creature; the two guys who fight over a girl in the bridge district. (they were in BG1, remmeber the two guys in Candle Keep?)

The strongest dragon? This realy depends on the level you are on, the first time I met firekrag, I loaded about ten times before i killed him.

For me the most effective way is by killing with weapons, when I look at the stats in the game, it's 30-40% for my fighters and maximum 10% for mages and priests.

Great work on the quiz Sir Exxon!

SixOfSpades 02-20-2002 11:31 PM

Part 1:
1) 8?
2) I'll say 5: Firecam, Jsstev, and the other one Government, the Guarded Compound in Temple, and what's-his-name's in Docks.
3) 2, I think
4) I forgot the name the human-looking ones used, so I'll say Halflings
5) Tazok, and MAN does he look different! Not to mention that this is the THIRD time I've killed him.....
6) Fear, poison
7) Sarevok (you learn why he wanted revenge in ToB)
8) The parts of Kangaxx the Lich
9) Nothing too important, or I'd remember it
10) A little golden birdie
11) Steal the Necklace of Talos
12) Heal it
13) Greater Wolfwere
14) duhhh.....
15) Forest of Tethir

Part dos:
1) Sarles, Illithium, Helm
2) Some dude, red
3) Another dude, Lanthorn, Suldenessellar
4) Djinn, head, ?, funniest bug in the game
5) Dryads, acorns, Hills
6) Drizzt, Frostbrand, Defender
7) Lavok, Sphere

Part drei:
1) Obviously Carsomyr, even though it's a 2-Hander and only Paladins can use it. Its +5 enchantment means the only things that can stop it are Stoneskin, Prot. from Mag. Weapons, and Total Immunity. Add in its Dispel Magic and Magic Resistance, and......."THIS--IS MY BOOMSTICK!"
2) The Unseeing Eye quest was SO long, and SO intense, and handed me my ass SO many ways from Sunday (hey, it was my first time through the game and I was low-level) that it gets my vote. It was my first experience with Level Drain and with enemies that NOBODY in my party could hit (I think Greater Mummies require +3 or better), and it even made me think a bit, too (even though the last of the Bridge Questions has NO real 'right answer'). Got some nice loot out of it as well.
3) Arguably, the Commoner/Peasant/Noble. I think they have about 4 hitpoints, I don't think I've ever seen one take damage and survive. They have no means of defense, and no attacks except 1 slap per round. Some of them can't even run away, because they're sitting down. I think even a Rat could take one out (Rats can hurt you if they roll a 20).
4) Firkragg. I know the black dragon with the unpronounceable name is supposed to be tougher, but he was a cakewalk for me. All he did was cast Plant Growth and attack my Skeleton Warriors, maybe a Wing Buffet here and there. With Firkragg, it was Fireball, Fireball, claw, claw, Wing Buffet, more Fireballs.....
5) Pierce Magic, Pierce Magic, Breach, Lower Resistance, Harm, Crom Fayer. (I like the Cleric/Mage!)

Not bad for only going through BG2 once, I thought. [img]smile.gif[/img]

15. Where is the entrance to Suldanellesar?

Max score: 15p

PART TWO:

Fill in the missing words. Each correct word gives one point.
1. Sir Sarles need 200 pounds of Illithium to make a statue to the Temple of Helm.
2. One of the guys that buried Tirdir is dressed in bright red.
3. Elhan, the elven leader, says you must recover the Rhynn Lanthorn in order to access Suldanessellar.
4. The Dao Djinn (genies) in Trademeet wants you to get the head of the Rakshasa Ihtafeer. (Hides as an old woman named Adratha and the other 2 Rakshsa's are Saadat + Jalaal.)
5. To save the Dyads in Irenicus' Dungeon, you must give some Acorns to their sister in the Windspear Hills. (Actually it's their queen.)
6. Drizzt do'Urden have two good scimitars, the Frostbrand +3 and the Defender +5.
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.

<font color="gold">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?</font>
