The powercell part, you have no way of getting back to. Not deemed necessary to me.

For the sewer quest, what you need to do is have each member carry one part, then have each one stand in front of the pipes. Then here, you put your cursor on the pipes and it will turn into some circular arrows. Say you have minsc, Jah, Aerie and your player character each holding an object. Put minsc first in front of pipe one and others in place for pipe two and so on. Make sure minsc is highly to use him to turn --->"activate" the first pipe. Do this by double clickin on the pipe while minsc is highlighted. If you see a read explosion on the pipe then that part is correct. If he gets hit by a blue lightening bolt, it's wrong. Rearrange the order of your players until you get your reward. You get a really nice sword if a bit annoying heh.

FOr item usage, like spells and bottles, place the items you want to use in your inventory. We will continue on with Aerie. She can hold wands, spell scrolls, and potions. Once you have these things in her inventory slots right below her weapon area click out to get into the main part of the game. You now see the items in your bottom part of the screen in the inventory box. For the usage of the wand there, click it and select a target by bringing your cursor over whoever you want to use the wand on. Potions are "normally" self-consumed. Spell scrolls can be used by clicking it til it is highlighted in the red color and then using it by clicking on the target you want it used on.

There is also the bag that is a bit highlighted a pale white. If you have special rings with abilities, you access them thru here. Click this bag and check out what each member has to further offer.

Another thing, I suggest you use Q for quicksave often and more importantly than that, save progressive states under different save slots and name them accordingly. There will be MANY forks in the road and it seems like the route you are taking will cause you grief of not now then soon. SAVE OFTEN....and don't be shiesty =/ with using 20-30 different save slots for different areas and approaches.

I still have about 5-10 saved games where I can go back to one part to retry it for fun with a different method if I think there is something else I can acquire from it and if it's not too far back from where I am now. I know I missed out on killing the thief upstairs in the inn of the promenade. A heads-up and few different saves here wouldn't cause me to feel this way now.

G'luck, have fun, and hope this helps.
