Hey all, I just beat the game too. And yes, I fully agree, the BG series are the best games I've EVER played. Although, I must say, despite the better graphics, the more variety ect, Baldurs Gate 1 was the greatest game I have EVER played. I remember the first time I played it. It was something so new to me. It was so immersive. It was one of the greatest feelings to play it. I loved it. I just got so attached.

BG2 was great, don't get me wrong, but IMO, it will never and has never given me such a sensational feeling as BG1 did.

Anyway, that aside. I would have liked a bigger ending in ToB. I mean it was alright, but it wasn't a WOW kind of ending. I think that to finish off the series they should have made a really WOW kind of ending. Speaking of endings, I have a question about the BG2 ending relating to ToB. In the BG2 ending, who did those robed figures sitting around the circular table end up being? Were they fellow Bhaalspawn?

Something I was happy about though in the ToB ending was my relationship with Jahera. I ended up opting for the "stay mortal" route, and me and Jahera lived happily ever after(aaaaawwwwww, how sweet). Oh yeah, that brings up another question about endings. If you go into "Movies" after you finish it, the two end movies are named something like "Final movie one", but the other one is named "Final Movie three"(not sure if the words are "Final movie", but thats not the point). Is there a Final Movie two aswell? If so, how do you get that one?

Anyway, that also aside, I agree with the opinion that Melissan was easy. Seriously, I found the Demorgorgan way harder(mind you I was a much lower level and had bodge equip at that stage, but still). The hardest foe would be a toss-up between Draconis and the Demogorgan for me. I know lots of people are saying the Demogorgan was easy, but I failed so many times in trying to beat him. Mind you, once I changed my stradegy, I killed him in like 30 secs.

Draconis was also very difficult. As for Balthazar, I thought he was easy. I had to reload once because he did some spell that killed one of my fighters straight away, but the next time I just walked all over him, same stradegy. But yeah, i was quite suprised at how easy Melissan was. None of my chars were even CLOSE to dieing, basically unharmed.

Anyways, enough rambling from me already,
Cheers
