Finished TOB, special thanks to Shadowkeeper

Dobian · 10-26-2003, 01:21 AM

I started playing Baldur'd Gate last spring, progressed through TOSC, BG2, and was playing TOB when my computer died. I got a new pc over a month later, but discovered that my lone backup of a saved game file got corrupted. Fortunately, Shadowkeeper was able to read the party information, and I was able to use it to reconstruct my party exactly as it was. The only drawback was that I had to start TOB over from the beginning. I posted about this awhile back, but I finished TOB today (what a tough ending battle!), and I owe it all to Shadowkeeper. I would have hated to have played TOB with a whole new party, even an approximation of my old one. It would have spoiled it. These boards are great. I don't post much, but I do a lot of lurking, picking up tips and strategies. I got a lot of good help when I was playing Wizardry 8 earlier this year. A great resource.

Kudos to you, Dobian! I was fried multiple times when first trying out the Final Battle! I know Shadowkeeper is a nifty tool, but believe me that I'm glad to see that it is actually used in a benevolent way once. Mostly, people brag on about how they give their character godly stats, overpowered items and stuff like that. [img]graemlins/1disgust.gif[/img] I for one NEVER cheat in a game. Okay, I do cheat: but only to try out how much fun this cheating is in truth. Then, I reload and just play on without cheats. Much more fun that way [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

What's the fun in bragging about having godly stats? It just shows that you can't play the game the way it was meant to be played...

I wouldn't know either, Lord.. It's plain pathetic if you ask me [img]graemlins/1disgust.gif[/img]

Instead, I'd be bragging about beating the game with ungodly stats instead

Along the same lines, I find it amazing that people get all modest when telling about their so-called "real-life" stats, yet never roll a PC with less than 18 in his/her primary stat. Or playing the game without godly items like Crom Faeyr or Celestial Fury. I'd continue, but the last thread where I started ranting got deleted.

Congrats! [img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img] Yeah SK is a wonderful tool but you must know where the limits are. I never use it sometimes when i lose an item. But if i miss it i just say:"Heck I missed it. More luck next time..." and move on.
