Well, I can't help you out with very many of these. I just have the normal romances installed (although I DID download the "Ease of Use" Mod that allows concurrent romances ).

4. Sounds like you figured out who "the Hidden" was on your own. I've only done BGII once so far and I really don't remember alot about the earlier chapters. It's simply been to long.

5. Part of the Mazzy Quest is a potion that can be used to "drug" the ogre and make him easier for her to defeat. I'm not positive, but I assume that's where the alchemy bottle comes in. I think you just send someone (OTHER than Mazzy) to the temple. Retrieve the alchemy jug and ask them to produce a potion for you. You then give this to the ogre and it either knocks him out or impairs him enough to make Mazzy's victory pretty easy. I'm not positive about this...I just read about it in a Walkthrough several months ago. Some details could be completely wrong.

6. This one I DO know. The purpose of the "buried alive" guy is to inform your character about the kidnappers in the Bridge District. Go there and take them out. When you search the house, you will find another kidnapped prisoner on the top floor..a noblewoman. The "quest" part comes into play if you choose NOT to release...but to collect the ransom yourself. You will meet her squire (or assistant or whatever) outside the Coppor Coronet and he will pay the ransom - which just happens to be a pair of Silver Pantaloons. If you played through Baldur's Gate I, you should have a pair of Gold Pantaloons to match it. A third "Pantaloon component" is available in ToB. These 3 items can then be forged into ......

THE BIG METAL UNIT



A full-body suit of armor that comes with all types of "enemy slaughtering" weapons (like a Scorcher and frag grenades).

Even if your character is good-aligned, it's worth the Reputation Loss (2 points) you suffer for being "involved" in a kidnapping. The Rep loss is the ONLY disadvantage to taking the ransom and can easily be restored or replaced.

Be "a little bad", take the ransom, and go for the BIG METAL UNIT!!!! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
