Is there some penalty for playing through Baldur's Gate slowly? For example, are there quests that REALLY do have a time limit on them. It seems like every quest I have done so far (which I am in like chapter 2 or 3 so not many), the dialogue has portrayed this dire emergency that has to be done RIGHT NOW. That is great writing as for the story line, but are you really penalized if you play slow. One that comes to mind is the Shadow Thief guy telling me that I needed to go quickly or the ship captain will back out of taking me to spellhold. Is there anything really that will happen if I take my time and do the Umar Hills, Windspear Hills, Trademeet, Temple District Sewars quests before I sail off to spellhold?
The big reason I ask is because I have just been introduced to the wonders of the spell Haste. What an awesome spell, and what an awesome side effect. If I find myself taking an 8 hour nap after every major fight, I will be days and days into the game before I ever go sail the high seas. Is that going to mess anything up? Any input would help.
