Exactly as the subject states, which area do you dislike the most? I am going back and replaying this game, and I have now come to the conclusion that I hate the Firewine ruins the most, by a long stretch. My reasons:
- The passages are too small: The pathfinding in this game is archaic as it is, but with the passages being so small it causes your party to wander off in all directions, often by themselves into an ambush. To stop this, you literally have to micromanage your party's every movement. This gets tedious after about 20 seconds, and unbearable after about an hour.
- Unlimited and too rapid respawning: The kobold commandos respawn way too fast in the dungeon, often respawning right in plain sight of your party. It just makes no sense whatsoever. Add to the fact that every single one of them is using enchanted fire arrows and it is just ridiculous. I guess the ogre mage can mass produce a million fire arrows a second, and the mage has cloning tanks hidden in the walls that are producing kobold commandos at about one a second.
Even the GameBanshee walkthrough states to go in via the secret door by the ogre mage, kill him and the wizard, loot them, and just leave. They state that it is just too much of a pain in the butt to go get the armor and give it to the spirits, due to the constant kobold commandos. And after spending this afternoon practically throwing my computer across the room in disgust, I agree with them. I would rather do Durlag's Tower at 1st level than go through that garbage again.
Anyway, enough of my rant. What area/areas did you just dislike?
