Seraph, do you want to tell me that you are selecting the spells as a complete newbie in BG2? That your only decision base is some kind of usefulness?
|
Yes I do. Some spells are almost always useful. My characters tend to have a pretty good number of buffing, anti-buffing, and summon spells in their memory. Why? Because they are useful for 95% of the things your character will encounter.
I also find that using mages as small walking gods kind of sucks all the fun out of the game, which is why I'll never have a PC sorcerer.

If I uderstand you well then being a "role player" means to pretend to be a newbie all the time. And, as far as that Kangaxx is considered, well, you can think that something special is prepared for you but how do you detect that you cannot pass without a +4 weapon? Let's be frank, Seraph: Kangaxx needs preparation. Twisted Rune needs preparation. Many other places in the game need preparation.

Someone who kills the two Liches and doesn't get a clue that Kangaxx is dangerous deserves to get killed. The game practily writes "demi-lich" in big red letters all over the screen. I mean "Hmm, I have this guys torso and legs, and hes still alive, I wonder what he could be? (A head perhaps) He obviously was powerful if people needed to turn into Liches in order to prevent him from being put back together, hes obviously powerful, and old, what is he? (Some kind of lich?)." Baldurs gate throws hints about tough fights at you by the dozen.
I would never find the Twisted Rune w/out knowing about it beforehand, First I would get nuked by the trap and decide perhaps I shouldn't mess with the door with a low level party (Again, this is one of those hits the game likes to give. Deadly trap in the middle of the city == something bad ahead), and second I generally don't go trying every door in the world while carrying a Rogue Stone. After all, there are things I would much rather have, potions, spell scrolls, the Robe of Vecona, $20000 to free Imoen, etc. That being said, its probably one of an increadibly small number of fights that requires knowlage if you walk around unprepared for a major fight all the time.
