impatient

i am the most impatient player i know, and WHY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD do the characters in BGI walk so much slower than in BGII?
Its driving me nuts!

myungbass · 09-23-2002, 12:19 PM

p.s. i apologize if i spelled impatient wrong

Your spelling is correct. The characters don't walk slower in BG1; they walk faster in BG2. Shame on you for playing them in the wrong order, you've just spoiled the whole plot of BG1 for yourself. Now I get to beat you over the head with a large salami. Come back here!

For Punishment you must chop down the mightiest tree in the forest wiiiiiiiith....A HERRING

Then he must build you...a shrubbery!

Lord Brass the shrubbery comes first then the herring. If he skipped to the herring you can't go back to the shrubs. But, I can offer you a good deal on a video covering the many uses of coconuts. Perhaps a video on the migratory paterns of the African Swallow?

Silly Firestormalpha! African swallows are non-migratory!

Yeah playing BG1 first is the best idea. In fact I just completed it last night

its taken a good amount of my time up, but it was sooooo satisfying to beat the final boss, I didnt know till like the 5th attempt that killing the main would finish the battle, I kept going after that damm mage who kept casting chaos!
And now I got Tales Of The Sword Coast to do [img]smile.gif[/img] and then onto BG2, just wondering - does BG2 wrap up the whole story or is it like BG1 and leave you waiting for a sequel??

The end plot of BG2 is nice and conclusive, but the end movie of BG2 is clearly, blatantly, OBVIOUSLY a teaser for Throne of Bhaal. ToB is the game that actually finishes the series.

Actually the characters walk at the same speed, but a warp in the space/time continum gives the appearance that they are walking slower in BG1. This illusion was first performed by David Copperfield at the Mirage, Las Vegas in 1987. Asking for volunteers from the audiance, a group of high school sophmores went onto the stage. Copperfield performed the illusion, and the students appeared to slowly walk off the stage and returned to their jobs at the McDonalds in Warrenton, Virginia. It is at this McDonalds where one can wait so long for a hamburger that....
