QUIZ! (Contains some spoilers, I guess) - Page 2

SixOfSpades · 01-31-2002, 11:08 PM

The one you've all been waiting for: Kangaxx the Lich.

I think it's his arms & legs you find down there.....

My own little mini-quiz: In the "Loading Area" screen, you see some nice little mosaic pictures, depicting scenes in the game. QUESTION: What three classes's strongholds are represented in these pictures?

In the sewers you also can do the Mekrath's Mirror Quest, unless you always speak to him first about the stone, when you meet him, which usually leads to the fight. Try not to kill Mekrath as soon as you see him and talk to him a bit, and you will get that little quest as well.. Nothing too fancy, but more XP then whacking the Mekrath anyway.

EDIT: As for halberds, then these do piercing damage. More correct would be, based on RL, that they would do slashing/piercing, but in BG games they are marked as piercing damage weapons.

16. What is wrong with the travel times on the Map in SOA ??
It's always 20 hours, regardless of distance. Also, sometimes when you go from Athkatla to somewhere, it's 20 hrs, and if you go back it's suddenly 24 hrs.
17. Name at least 5 room double ups (rooms with the same scenerary used twice or more) in chapters 1- 3 of SOA.
The Sea's Bounty & The Crooked Crane, the 1st floor of The Den of the Seven Vales & the 1st floor of The Crooked Crane, Vyatri's Pub (Trademeet) & The Mithrest.
18. What is inconsistant between Edwin in the manual and Edwin in the game, and how ??
Don't know, never read manuals.
19. Name a LowLevel ofensive mage spell which does not grant a saving throw.
Magic Missile.
20. The multiclass subkits were left out of SOA... name those subkits for an Elven Fighter/ Mage.
You mean Bladesinger and the likes?
21. Name the best armour in the series, give details on how to find/make it, and state its armour class.
There you go again with 'best armour'. That's very subjective. As I'm currently playing a Fighter/Mage, the best armor for this char is the Aslyferund Elven Chain, created by Cespenar from the Bladesinger Chain (looted from the Black Dragon in Suldanesselar) and a scroll of Protection from Normal Weapons. AC 0, immunity to nonmagical weapons.
22. How is it possible to start a character at the begining of SOA, not imported from TOTSC, DSOTSC, BG1, or from a BG2 export, which has 0 natural AC, very quickly improved to -1 NATURAL AC ??
Use ShadowKeeper.
23. How many stronghold quests can start in the Slums district IN ONE GAME ??
Basically they all start in the Slums District with Bayle's nephew taking you to the NPC who initiates the quest. So if you're a multiclass char, you can start at most 3 there. You can't finish all 3 obviously.
24. Spiderman makes a small cameo (sortof..) in Bg2, where and why did I say sortof ??
Probably in the Underdark among the Drow somwhere...
25. You can cast Mage spells in armour, inder certain conditions. Give those conditions.
That said armor is some type of Elven Chainmail, or that said Mage spell is an innate ability rather than a real spell (Larloch's Minor Drain et al from Bhaalpowers).
26. Give 2 poems found in LOTR (the novel), which can relate to BG1 in some way.
I'm a big fan of TLotR, but I can't recite the poems in the book by heart.
27. What race is Irenicus ??
He was an Elf.
28. How many Party Joining NPCs have a character specific quest which takes place at least partially in trademeet ??
What do you mean by 'partly joining NPCs'? Either they join or they don't join IMHO.
29. Which is the Oldest Party Joining NPC, judging by their actions ??
Judging by actions, I'd say Keldorn. He has a highly developed sense of responsibility. Oldest by age is probably Viconia.
30. Who said "Shut your snivelling Wit, bard!!" who did they direct it at, and when/where is this said ??
Don't know.

Therel be more from me... I think.
