You can, but there`s no real need.
Most likely you`ll hit the SOA XP Cap just out of the underdark when you only do your stronghold quest [img]smile.gif[/img]

I did all the side quests (except Mind Flayer lair in the sewers) with my own solo sorceress

Not so tough. Just try to gain as much XP as you can, buy the robe, find some cool rings. By the end of stronghold quest I usually become of significant power. And after all trademeet trouble I get lvl8 spells. And after unseeing eye quest I am a god

I still insist on sorc having some decent INT&WIS score. Its just an image of trully powerful spellcaster - he/she must be veery intelligent&wise. That's rp, man!

CON score is nearly useless - if enemy gets to strike you you're dead no matter what is your CON. Spellcasters do not participate in melee crap - they stand back and rain death on the heads of their enemies

DEX is nearly useless for the same purposes. Why should I care to use a sling when I have Melf's Minute Meteors for nearly endless missile weapon? And when you grow a bit, say, older

you wont have to use any sling or such - your spells will be your best weapon. The best and the only one

All this discussion makes me want to solo a sorc once again - this time, a CE one

Con is good for some things though.

Setting off traps for example.

TaSSaDaR · 10-16-2002, 08:24 AM

Spend a second to cast Mirror Image. Will block every trap, for me it failed just once or twice in the game. And for those special cases you have Spell Immunity

From RP point of view - how could a spellcaster develop a great health? He has to practice every time. And even inborn casters such as sorcs have to practice spellcasting rather thatn doing pushups all the time

All except the Stronghold-quests. Without cheating, that is.

TaSSaDaR · 10-16-2002, 09:39 AM

OK, lets then mention that a SOLO sorceress can not complete all romances and other NPC-specific quests.

Tyrion · 10-17-2002, 08:44 AM

So there are cheats to be able to do all stronghold quests?

TaSSaDaR · 10-17-2002, 08:54 AM

There are some cheats making you able to get every stronghold. But every cheat steals interest from the game. Do you think stupid strongholds are really worth the interest???

SixOfSpades · 10-17-2002, 05:12 PM

I, for one, am against multiple strongholds. The reason the class strongholds were implemented in the first place was to increase the game's replay value by making sure you couldn't do every quest in the game in just one run-through. Why would you want to take that away? I say, if you want to know about the Druid stronghold quests, build thyself a Druid.
