Hello true believers and disbelievers as the case may be,

Something catastrophic happened to my poor computer and I had to wipe it significantly...in the process...wait for it....I lost my Baldurs gate: Shadows of Amn and Icewind dale game saves (over 200 hours playing time each!! whahhhhhhh sob sob...boo hoo hoo...oh the humanity!!!)

To cut a long and whiningly pathetic story short, will some knight in shining armour+2/princess in iron brazziere+3 take pity on me and send me their save points for these games?!!!??!!! I was in the underdark just after entering the drow city in shadows of AMN and I in Dorn deep just after figuring out the circular table linked puzzle thingy which opens up a circular stairs going down to lots of wheels and cogs in Icewind dale. Anywhere approximately near these points will do.

I know it's not the same thing as you personalise your own characters and take pride watching them mill throught the ranks of experience (especially in icewind dale where your characters are personalised and cheekily named) but it will at least put off a stay in a high security mental institution for me if I don't get to finish these games after all the blood and sweat.

I'm not even sure how much memory a BG game save takes up or if it possible to attach it to an e-mail, but I would much appreciate the effort,

Cheers, you'll be on my christmas list next year,
