Hi,

I started playing this game a while back, but never found a good walk-through/strategy guide, so I've just been going it without. This is fun and all, but I am certain there are many things I am walking right past.
I found one guide that was touted as "great," but it was less a guide and more a "do this, then go here, then do that, then talk to this guy..." sort of thing. It would be tantamount to playing the exact game the author played if I followed that guide.

Anyway, any pointers to a good one that sort of describes things, but doesn't totally take the fun out of playing?
Thanks,

Ironworks has a good walkthrough, but it's kinda lenghty. You can get it at http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks

GameBanshee also has one which goes by location. That one is less wordy. Go to http://www.gamebanshee.com

There's also a walkthrough on www.ign.com here http://guides.ign.com/guides/13437/walk.html
and at www.gamespot.com here http://gamespot.com/gamespot/guides/pc/baldurs_2/.

I usually refer to the one here at Ironworks and sometimes the one from IGN.

Try Dan Simpson's excellent guide at Gamefaqs.com.

Get it here.

I'm with Hayashi on this. Dan Simpson is something of a legend up on GameFAQs for his excellent CRPG walkthroughs. The SoA/ToB one is a perfect example of what published hardcover walkthroughs should be like, and all too frequently aren't.

This is the one I've been using:

http://www.uhs-hints.com/uhsweb/bg2.php

I've been pretty satisfied with it. Just about everything is in it, and the stuff that isn't, I just come to this board and ask around.

Btw, that's a really cool photo on you signature. Where'd you get it?
