No-Reloads update:

Klorox · 11-10-2006, 09:42 PM

Just to let y'all know, Gnick O'Thyme has made it all the way from Candlekeep as a level 1/1 little gnome Cleric/Illusionist to the beginning of ToB without a reload (now level 17/15)!

YAY! Did I express how happy I am for getting this far!

BTW, I've only beaten ToB once before, so this one is going to be really tough for me to beat.

nice [img]smile.gif[/img] .. just a question, have you skipped several quest you know are too risky?

Klorox · 11-11-2006, 07:57 AM

In BG1 I did. In BG2, I did every quest I could get my XP-lovin' hands on!

i ought to play no reloads - i'ts got to be the way to put the magic back

I'm in a no-reloads game right now, but it's still in BG1--just entered BG City. Fletcher Greenwood will probably do every quest (that agrees with his alignment), but in strict roleplaying order: He won't go anywhere unless he has a good reason to. Which makes things like taking on Kobold Commandos with a Level 1 Khalid, and the endless waylays in the Cloakwood, very tricky indeed.

GAME OVER!

I had just finished Lum the Mad's machine, and when I arrived at the next level I recognized it as a place where I had a lot of trouble last time I played ToB. I decided I'd go for some more XP first and face the second challenge in my Pocket Plane. Little Gnick O'Thymes evil twin broke down my Stoneskins so fast an landed a killing blow. Ugh. I was pretty good on the defense as well, but I'm upset that he was still able to attack me after I cast "Sanctuary." Now THAT'S cheesey IMO.

For the record: I had killed Yaga-Shura before starting Watchers Keep and getting as far as I did.

bad luck

Sorry for your loss...

Klorox · 11-16-2006, 05:44 PM

I really think it's cheesey that the dude cut right through my Sanctuary. Oh well.

Time to give it another go! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Maybe it's because you were fighting an extension of yourself, and the whole Pocket Plane is supposed to be a place where you force yourself to come to terms with yourself? So maybe not being able to hide from yourself does make sense. More sense than I'm making right now, anyway.
