******''didnt you take the helm of balduran?
or did I misunderstood..? other stuff of balduran is pretty ok too
are you playing BG2 for the first time?''******

well i played the game before with a different party and got to the underdark... i just cleared out the beholder lair.then i stopped playing for a while.
and now im back playing and i created a new party.
so ive never finished the game or gotten past the underdark. last time i did almost all the quests tho and had imoen at a way to low level.

as for the helm of balduran etc, what i posted is all i have

full plate armor
helm of defence
a +2 axe
rift home +3 axe
a +1 ring
thas korgan

then i have a ring of the ram n some mage enhancing stuff
and the weapons U get from the golem room in nalias keep.

no further special helmets,
no shields
no nothing
so basicly i have almost no gear
the quests ive done so far are the book of kazaa, partially edwins nether scroll quest
the planar sphere
and im doin nalias keep now..

im in chapter 3

i have a 4 people party
bane (prot mage)
korgan
edwin
viconia

maybe its a wee bit more clear now
