Hey All! Just thought I'd ask what everybody's favourite wepon is in bg1? I'd say apart from the Defender, since that goes without saying!

Was wondering which of the 2 messages to reply to for a moment there...

I didn't really get a chance to filch Drizzt's scimitars from him as I didn't know it was possible at that time , but anyway, for close-up melee I would prefer Greywolf's Longsword +2 / (evil cleric's) warhammer +2 which dishes out cold/electrical damage as well; for ranged weapons, Composite Long Bow +1 for sheer damage and Bow of Marksmanship for accuracy (ie. THAC0), and Eagle's Bow for my thieves.
Btw, in Tales of the Sword Coast (TSC), the Staff-Mace and Staff-Spear are also quite good weapons by themselves. Anyone want to comment on "Flametongue"?? It kinda bears an uncanny resemblance to the flaming sword Battle Horrors wield...

flametoungue stinks compared to greywolf's. i like world's edge (if that's it's name, the 2 handed+2). i like the throwing axe that comes back, can't remember the name, and i like long bow of marksmenship. that's about it. my almost melee only ranger in my last game used defender, the throwing axe (for the occaisonal gibberling i didn't wanna run up to., and i also had the other axe equipped, ummm... forgot the name, but it casts miscast magic, and has no other magical enhancements.

Bala's Axe casts Miscast Magic.

too ad i got it in the end of the game, and used it on about 3 wizards...

Just for accuracy's sake, World's Edge is a 2-handed sword +3 (not +2).

Btw, I tried Bala's Axe on my own spell-caster (Dynaheir), but she still managed to pull off a few spells. All in all, I would prefer a 100% certainty in knowing that my opponent is unable to cast spells rather than an 80% - so it's back to firing those rather nasty arrows of biting (the poisoning effect is rather neat) at those pesky mages/clerics ...

in what country are these boards based? "Sorry, you can't modify this message. You haven't modify your message before 11-15-2000 05:00:08 P.M.."

Bastard Sword +1 suits me. Considering all warriors carry one.
Min damage 3, Max damage 9.

Long Sword +2 does 3-10 points of damage and one point better THAC0, and thiefs can use it.
