My first time, i honestly, I got my behind kicked, hashed, neatly packaged, and mailed to me. I walked, in full regalia, with myself, khalid, jaheira, minsc, dynaheir and yeslick, fully loaded, and ready to kick some booty. First, I got smacked around by tazok, and then i got zapped by the mages, and the doomguards hacked at my flanks while sarevok just pounded through my tanks (me, despite the fact that i was a fighter, hiding behind minsc, then khalid, then yeslick, then jaheira, while fighting sarevok. He just butchered them all, and with the mages and such berating me with magic, imoen (in the rear) got butchered by a doomguard or something, and minsc was gone almost immediately from stepping on a trap. It's easy, in theory, if you powergame, and draw out the enemies one by one, in a room small enough, to the point where you should be able to see everyone, and if the A.I. was better, the would come to sarevok's aid, instead of watching him follow a single character back and forth, (who is probably wearing the boots of speed), while the rest of the party hurls missile weapons at him. how cheesy is that?
