P O I L E R S I'm playing my second time through... First time was a good-aligned party, Main Char was a Half-elf Archer. Most of the game, I'd leave my party at the entrance of the map, and clear the area alone. The final battle, my Main Char gets Confused immediately, and runs around like a dufus, my party gets WIPED... When I come to, I'm alone against the world. I figure, "Why not?" and start to run around , shooting arrows of Dispelling, followed by arrows of Biting and Piercing... Before I realize it, I'm alone against the Slayer. It takes forever, but I basically run ahead of him, turn, shoot, run and repeat. I finish the game. Second time through, I figure, may as well go solo... Same basic character, but this time a full elf (bonus in long bow, long sword, resistance to magic and sleep)... So far, no problem... I just came out of the Underdark and am going to face Bohdi for the last time... Here's my problem. I'm trying to roleplay this as well as I can... Since I'm an elf Archer, I have all my profs in Long bow (5), Long Sword (1), Dual Wield (natural 2) , Katana (1). I don't think that an elf would ever use a blunt weapon, so no mace, flails, or hammers. Now the difficulty should be getting clearer. no Mace of Disruption for the vamps, just Arrows of Piercing for my first attack, and dualing my Daystar and FlameTongue for melee. It worked the first time, we'll see against the higher level vamps. The problem is Suldanesslar and the TON of golemns there... I'm not worried about the Black Dragon, or the Slayer in Hell. The vamps and the golemns... I'm wracking my brain to figure out a solution to the problem I've laid out for myself... Any advice that fits in these parameters? ------------------ The RudeDawg Known in these Forgotten Realms as Perin LightEyes |
Just curious, how do you take out the clay golem in the several encounters through out the game if you don't use blunt?

The Tao of Brave Sir Robin....
"Run Away !!!" At first, I was trying to kill everything, then I realized that soloing in truest form to the character would be MUCH more satisfying than using a high-level weapon that I shouldn't... A ranger has the "Stealth" skill, combined with the Boots of Speed, I usually sneak by the golemns, grab what I need, run out the room and slam the door in their faces! (Golumns are too dumb to open doors) It's been MUCH more challenging to do things in the limits I've set. ------------------ The RudeDawg Known in these Forgotten Realms as Perin LightEyes |
Ah, I see. Too bad they don't have a bow that does crushing damages. Have you consider the katana Celestial Fury? That can be a good weapon to switch with Flametongue depending on the type of creature you face.

RudeDawg,
I like your attitude and the way you play.Really gives a different perspective on things. I would guess if it were really just one person the just of it all would really be survival! And I do believe you would not fight, literally everything you came up against. I think thats definately another way to approach and play this game. I may have to give that a try sometime "when I have alot of time" HAHA!! ------------------ http://www.gldb.com/wayno/wizard1.gif Walk lightly my friend. |
My Quick Weapons are : slot 1 is Heartseeker (+3 longbow, armed with Arrows of Disruption, Piercing, Biting, or +2 depending), slot 2 is Celestial Fury, slot 3 is Daystar and FlameTongue is in inventory waiting to dual wield.
I also use Cerebus and the Iron Horn of Valhala, and Health potions in my Quick Items slots. I've got some scrolls of Restoration in my Bag of Holding. The rest of my inventory is full of arrows. I'm going to face Bohdi after I've watched last nights episode of Futurama... about another 20 min or so... ------------------ The RudeDawg Known in these Forgotten Realms as Perin LightEyes |

It's actually taking a LOT less time than the first time I played...
Since I don't split exp points, I level up QUICKLY. I already know where the weapons, armor and itmes I want are, it's just a matter of getting them... I have done a few things just to see if I could... Twisted Rune was hard, but I did it... Obviously got Celestial Fury from the locked building (someone called them the Slave Lords, but I never saw a lable or quest for them), but by stealth , speed and a well-aimed arrow I defeated everyone in there... Shadow Dragon (wanted the Black Dragon Scales for my armor, the best leather armor in the game) was hard, and my info shows Firkraag as my hardest enemy vanquished... Seeing that 100% in the kills and eperience fields in the info make it worthwhile... ------------------ The RudeDawg Known in these Forgotten Realms as Perin LightEyes |
Thats cool.My Mage/thief(multi-Elf)took on the 'slave lords'on his own also,with some stealth,spells,and crossbow i would lose them in the dark back rooms and pick them off one by one.
-Arrows of disruption? what are they? ------------------ "You,...You wouldn't hurt a Gnome would you?" |
