i thought i was a bit spoiled on the early part of BG1 from starting a few times, reading the walkthroughs, forums etc. but apparently not!
i've started a new druid to play through BG1 (& SoA/ToB) and have recruited other outdoorsy NPCs - i'm currently whizzing through the 'up to Nashkel mines and a bit' sections before i settle down to newish adventuring and last night went . . .
(minor spoiler)

... to the gnoll fortress to rescue Dynaheir - I was pushed for time (in real life) and then i ran out of arrows so i was resisting saving to minimise respawning so i just full on charged the place - it was great! minsc was the star of the show and developed a lot of character / personality for me as he carved through the throngs while the rest of party tried to help by picking off anyone that broke through
i've probably 'done' the fortress half a dozen times but it was really exciting
and minsc is never going to use a bow as long as he lives [img]smile.gif[/img]
and that "stealth and reveal the enemies one at a time and pick them off" technique is way overrated [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]
aghhh! i haven't got time to start playing this game again . . .
