Sword Spiders are mean in BG1, they are fast and hit hard. Pity they are so easy in BG2, Siren's, I hit with my bow and arrows. Basilisks I think most can agree are one of the hardest in the game, some bosses are easy than them (and these include some of the ones in TotSC like the werewolves and wolfweres.
Favourite monster is probably the Ghouls they are easy from long range. I hate Sword spiders though, pity you couldn't include BG2 monsters as prefered and hated. If so I would go for drow as liked, and despised with those mindflayers

Favorits:

Sirens, Flesh Golems, Ankhegs, Basillisks etc. (anything that put up a good fight, gives good XP and is easy to hit). If you hit the Sirens with a lot of 'small' quick blows (ie. magic missiles, arrows and sling bullets), they often ruin their dire charm spells.

I dislike:
Kobolds and skeletons: Low XP, while they often take long time to get rid of. Especially if you get swarmed, and your mages suddenly have to engage in melee combat (-or if the skeletons/kobolds are targeting one of your low HP NPC's with ranged attacks)

Basilisk's, Sirens, and Flesh Golems are fav's because all of them are challenging and put up large amount of xp points when you kill them. Also, none are really that tough when you learn the right tactic to use against them.
Most annoying,, easy.. Kobolds, including commando's because of very low xp points compared with initial "Bow" damage they can cause if they ambush you. Damage not that serious unless you get ambushed by a lot of them but annoying as hell.

My favourite monster would be the hobgoblins. They're so pathetic, and I like the way they just fall over when they die.

I agree with Ares; I don't like killing the wolves. Hey. It's not their fault they're hungry. I try and charm them with my ranger and get them to follow me. Failing that, I kill them.

Yeah and you get that occasional ambush by Lion's Way at the start and the kobold hits a mage, dead mage and annoyed person

NiceWorg · 09-22-2003, 07:31 AM

Favourites are Ogres and Phase Spiders.
Most despised have to be Basilisks and Skeletons (the tougher ones, been a while since I last played).

I love the Greater Basilisk great experience and you feel like a great hunter preparing to kill the Basilisk. I role-play and go out on Basilisk hunts stacking up on protection from petrifaction.

Most annoying and feared Greater Wyverns Poison, must run, uggh! Actually Ettercaps are pretty annoying as well.

AARGH!!! the bloody cowards, man the firewine bridge was a traumatic experience! try following a hundered running kobolds(which im sure most of you have) in those god-forsaken-corridors, and stay sane!!!

I have to agree with silversten about the spiders. The funnest fight i ever had was when I was soloing a ranger and I came to that area where there's like ten spiders, i think its in larswood or somewhere around there. That is a tough battle when you solo. Least favorite is skeletons, they always attack dynaheir for some reason, and arrows only do 1 damage...pretty annoying.

Zarr · 09-25-2003, 05:22 PM

Favorite: I love slaughtering those pathetic Xvarts.
Dispised: Bears. Try killing one straight out of Candlekeep ARGHHHHH!!
