Hmm... what was supposed to be a minor excursion to the NE part of BGCity to get some documents for some guy in Ulgoth's Beard has led to a whole series of events that now has me stuck in BGCity with tons of unfinished quests. I haven't even had the chance to get poisoned yet.
Looks like I'm going to gain a few levels before going to Durlag's Tower... or Werewolf Island for that matter.
On the bright side, my party is now level 8-9. On the bad side, I'm stuck in BGCity, and going nowhere fast. As soon as I complete one quest, NPCs throw two more at me.
At the moment I am clearing the quests city section by city section... with lots of running around to do. The blasted journal is useless, and I am resorting to penning down the quests on paper, just so that I do not forget.
Khalid is, by now, a Demi-God. Save maybe one or two encounters thus far, he can basically chop-suey through anything. It is sad to know that his weapons, the Bastard Swords +1/+3 vs Shapeshifters( I have four of them...), become useless in BG2, because he has been rocking with them. It also helps that I now have the Gauntlets of Ogre Strength for him.
Potions have proven to be very useful in BG1, and I have been content to let the AI Scripts handle their usage. It was also gratifying to see my scripts execute the usage of Fireballs, Wands of Fire, Necklaces of Missiles, etc... properly. Area damage attacks are one of the hardest things to script properly.
Onward ho.
