If you have ToB installed, doesn't Watchers Keep (or is it Watchers Tower) have one? i havn't been in there in a long time, so i forget. But Watchers Keep is accesible earlier than Spellhold, so i thought i'd suggest.

I do that all the time in solo games. If I wanted to play "Baldur's Gate 2 : The Quest for Shuffling", I would've bought it, instead. SUUURE... I can do the "Storing Space->Store->Storing Spce->Store->etc" routine... but why bother? It gives me no extra power whatsoever - but it saves human time, which is finite, and is a pity to waste.

I guess the purists will call it cheating... so I have a question for them. How may of you have installed the "convinience components" from Ease-of-Use? Is it really that different?

No EoU, no CLUAd bag, solo sorc on insane with tactics. No item-upgrade either, which Im starting to think may have been a bad move.

And I'm not having a problem with inventory space. I'm naturaly reluctant to use potions and scrolls, to the point where normaly I just leave them with the corpses. I know Ill never use them, so why waste slots? Exception for healing potions of course. Wands, grab and burn up. Quest items, use and discard. Loot can be a problem of course, but I only take the best pieces. Im a soloist, most of the equipment I want isn't for sale, what do I need money for?

Time for me to response

Tsk, tsk, it is supposed to be part of the solo challenge, Annatar.
I know Dundee, but what Alson already pointed out... why hassle and spend hours and hours of your precious time changing, storing and cleaning out your inventory when you can just CLUA in a Bag of Holding and drop every quest item, worthless key, highly enchanted weapons you don't use ect..., even my mom wouldn't bother (she is a clean and tight freak [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) so why should I?

It makes my gaming much more fun (I like really REALLY hate order... I prefere chaos above all.. *poiting at room [img]smile.gif[/img] * ), and yes I to have the EoU stacking component installed (another great one!).

Cheating? Ofcorse not... I say [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I am very very very sure there is no Bag of Holding in WK. Where did you find yours, Josephine?

There is no Bag of Holding in Watcher's Keep. With that out of the way, a mini-rant on soloing and the 'hassle' of storing items.

This argument draws heavily on the basis of roleplaying, so if roleplaying means nothing to you, then it will be highly unlikely that I can change your mind.

Jon Irenicus stripped you of all your items and scattered them to the winds. What you see, is what you get. You do not need to pick up every single item that comes your way, it is part and parcel of soloing to exercise your priorities and decide what is important and what is not.

In fact, it is a challenge to try and stuff as much value into your inventory before you depart Jon Irenicus' Dungeon. You can easily gain about 5000+ gold if you know what you are doing.

The moment you step out of the dungeon, the need for a Bag of Holding is neglible( Cernd's House, among other areas) until you set sail for Spellhold where surprise, surprise! A Bag of Holding exists.

Soloing is about hardship, and the lack of inventory space is part of that hardship. It kind of defeats the spirit of soloing if you cheat in items you should not have. Heh... in fact... if you want to truly experience raw soloing, do what I do now, no unexplainable pre-buffing.

It can be done, although you might need to reload more often. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
