Yeah, I know he's BG1, but you'll understand when you come to Firkragg.
But I can understand why you reacted on that when you havent met him yet.


see ya!

[Sir Goulum]

1. 7?
2. I'm not going to count that
3. dito
4. Halfling
5. Tazok
6. fear,poison, etc.
7. Firkraag
8. Kangaxx Bones
9. The Elder Brain ... or were you referring to a part of the Equalizer
10. bird
11. Steal either a statuette fom Lathander temple or an amulet from Talos
12. Cast some healing spell (preferably from the scrolls right there)
13. Werewolf
14. I forgot.
15. Forest of Thethir I think (may be mispelled)


1. Sir Sarles need 200 pounds Ilithium to make a statue to the Temple of Helm.
2. One of the guys that buried Tirdir is dressed in red.
3. Elhan, the elven leader, says you must recover the Rhynn Lanthorn in order to access Sudanesselar.
4. The Dao Djinn in Trademeet wants you to get the head of the Rakshasa Ihtafeer.
5. To save the Dryads in Irenicus' Dungeon, you must give some acorns to their sister in the Windspear hills. (Isn't she their queen rather)
6. Drizzt do'Urden have two good scimitars, the Frostbrand (+somewhat) and the Defender (+5 I think).
7. Valygars evil ancestor, Lavok, lives in the Planar Sphere.

1. If Watchers keep is included, I vote for Angurdaval Sword of Flame
ELSE
The Celestial Fury, because everyone can use it and its stun effect is better the Vorpals Death Spell as it occurs more often and
results in immediate death likewise (cause my whole party keep slashing their swords on the stunned opponent)
Carsomyr is only for Paladins, Soul Reaver only for evils, Blackrazor is too late in the game and needs an evil decision. Daystar rocks agains Lichs but is kinda useless against others. Flame Tounge is handy in the beginning when fighting trolls.
2. The Limited wish quest and the "There is a WHAT in their chicken" quest. I like funny sidequests, "Idle hands in Imnesvale" rocks, too.
If you are referring to something bigger I would vote for Firkraag, because it holds nice items and challenging opponents early in the game.
3. Aerie! ... no comment
The gibberling, it can be dispatched most easily and I never had one do any damage to me.
4. Including WK: Saladrex. He's smart and attacks as soon as you cast Haste or Protection from evil on your party while preparing for battle.
in plain SoA I'd say: Adalon. She starts healing very early, if you
are going for a "Cloud Kill" and is the only dragon I never managed to take down with a Finger of Death. If your going into melee combat her Invisibility can be annoying.
5. Backstabbing ... runnning ... hiding in Shadows ... backstabbing again.
Spellcasting is the coolest way to kill, but mer hack'n slash does the trick most of the times for normal enemies, and mages are easily dispatched with Gesen Bow shots from Mazzy "Machinegun" Fentan.

Part 1

1) I'll say 7, because it's my lucky number.

2)I thought about this, and my brain hurt, but: 9.

3) 3.

4) I'll say Halfling. I have my reasons.

5) Tazok the Half-Ogre!

6) Charm, Disease and Fear. I like Cavaliers.

7) Firkraag.

8) the Golden arms-and-legs and torso of Kangaxx.

9) Er... not a clue!

10) This is a trick question! You THINK he's a bird...

11) Robbery; either the Necklace of Talos or the Idol of Lathander.

12) Heal it.

13) Werewolf.

14) Delon.

15) The NE corner of the Forest of Tethyr.

Part 2:

1) Sir Sarles needs 200 pounds of PURE Illithium to make a statue to the Temple of Helm.

2) One of the guys that buried Tirdir is dressed in red.

3) Elhan, the elven leader, says you must recover the Rhynn Lanthorn in order to acess Suldanesselar.

4)The Dao Genies in Trademeet wants you to get the head of the Rakshasa Ihtafeer. (I think that's the right spelling...)

5) To save the Dryads in Irenicus' Dungeon, you must give some acorns to their sister in the Windspear hills.

6. Drizzt do'Urden have two good scimitars, the Defender +5 and the Frostbrand +3.

7. Valygars evil ancestor, Lavok Corthala, lives in the Planar Sphere.

Part 3:

1) Best sword? er... Lilarcor. Yes, Lilarcor, for many reasons. One, it's easy to get right from the beginning of the game, and you don't have to take on anyone powerful to get it; three NPCs ave the requred skills to use it (Minsc, Keldorn, Sarevok) so it can be used by many party compositions, if not by the PC themselves; it's a solid weapon, with +3 to THACO and damage, and a very useful sideline in mind shield; and it's potentially the mot amusing magical item in the game. The stress relief factor of Lilarcor outweighs anything else.

2) Best Quest? The quest for Adalon's Eggs. A nicely written quest, a bit of subterfuge, lots of XP on offer, a different outcome for good and bad PCs, fun characters to meet, lots of things to do... and it's practically all of Chapter 5. The sheer feeling of achievement when you manage to complete it is excellent.

3) Neeber, the irritating 'heya!' guy from Trademeet. One anything and he's dead. Only a barefisted punch won't kill him. I class him as a creature because no mere human is that annoying. Korgan? This man bothers me, put an axe in his skull, will you? Ah, thank you.

4) The Black Dragon in Suldanesselar. He's the weakest statistically, so why? Simple answer - he's the only dragon you HAVE to fight. The Shadow Dragon can be avoided; Firkraag doesn't have to be challenged; Saladrex can be sidetalked; the Green Dragon in Hell can be reasoned with; Adalon does't attack on sight. Nizidramanii'yt is the only one who must be fought (outside any stupid tricks like dropping you equipment and then trading everything you carry, which is just silly!). Plus he has a nasty complement of druid spells along with the usual dragon arsenal, and isn't easy to beat by any means.

5) Weapons. So many things can go wrong with spells; they can be disrupted, someone makes their save, yadda yadda. Once you've used a spell, poof! It's gone. It's possible to complete the game with swords alone (even switching to fists to get around Protection from Magical Weapons) but not with spells alone. Even that guy from Baldurdash with the solo mage relied on his staff and sling a lot. Swords are reliable, and they don't run out.

2. One of the guys that buried the man is dressed in red.
3. ________, the elven leader, says you must recover the Rhynn _______ in order to access ___________.
4. The Dao Shah in Trademeet wants you to get the testicles [img]smile.gif[/img] of the Rakshasa Omar.
5. To save the __________ in Irenicus' Dungeon, you must give some __________ to their sister in the Windspear hills.
6. Drizzt do'Urden have two good scimitars, the frostsomething and the defender.
7. Valygars evil ancestor, Bill Gates, lives in the Planar sphere.

Best sword in the game for me: the celestial fury, damage like two handed sword speed like scimitar, and very good side effects. If dual wielded with Crom Faeyer = death to all. (the most powerful sword on the other hand is Holy Avenger but it is two hended, and paladins can't be masters in any weaponry)

Best quest? My favourite the one where Edwin got breasts [img]smile.gif[/img]

Weakest creature; the two guys who fight over a girl in the bridge district. (they were in BG1, remmeber the two guys in Candle Keep?)

The strongest dragon? This realy depends on the level you are on, the first time I met firekrag, I loaded about ten times before i killed him.

For me the most effective way is by killing with weapons, when I look at the stats in the game, it's 30-40% for my fighters and maximum 10% for mages and priests.

Great work on the quiz Sir Exxon!

[SixOfSpades]

Part 1:
1) 8?
2) I'll say 5: Firecam, Jsstev, and the other one Government, the Guarded Compound in Temple, and what's-his-name's in Docks.
3) 2, I think
4) I forgot the name the human-looking ones used, so I'll say Halflings
5) Tazok, and MAN does he look different! Not to mention that this is the THIRD time I've killed him.....
6) Fear, poison
7) Sarevok (you learn why he wanted revenge in ToB)
8) The parts of Kangaxx the Lich
9) Nothing too important, or I'd remember it
10) A little golden birdie
11) Steal the Necklace of Talos
12) Heal it
13) Greater Wolfwere
14) duhhh.....
15) Forest of Tethir

Part dos:
1) Sarles, Illithium, Helm
2) Some dude, red
3) Another dude, Lanthorn, Suldenessellar
4) Djinn, head, ?, funniest bug in the game
5) Dryads, acorns, Hills
6) Drizzt, Frostbrand, Defender
7) Lavok, Sphere

Part drei:
1) Obviously Carsomyr, even though it's a 2-Hander and only Paladins can use it. Its +5 enchantment means the only things that can stop it are Stoneskin, Prot. from Mag. Weapons, and Total Immunity. Add in its Dispel Magic and Magic Resistance, and......."THIS--IS MY BOOMSTICK!"
2) The Unseeing Eye quest was SO long, and SO intense, and handed me my ass SO many ways from Sunday (hey, it was my first time through the game and I was low-level) that it gets my vote. It was my first experience with Level Drain and with enemies that NOBODY in my party could hit (I think Greater Mummies require +3 or better), and it even made me think a bit, too (even though the last of the Bridge Questions has NO real 'right answer'). Got some nice loot out of it as well.
3) Arguably, the Commoner/Peasant/Noble. I think they have about 4 hitpoints, I don't think I've ever seen one take damage and survive. They have no means of defense, and no attacks except 1 slap per round. Some of them can't even run away, because they're sitting down. I think even a Rat could take one out (Rats can hurt you if they roll a 20).
4) Firkragg. I know the black dragon with the unpronounceable name is supposed to be tougher, but he was a cakewalk for me. All he did was cast Plant Growth and attack my Skeleton Warriors, maybe a Wing Buffet here and there. With Firkragg, it was Fireball, Fireball, claw, claw, Wing Buffet, more Fireballs.....
5) Pierce Magic, Pierce Magic, Breach, Lower Resistance, Harm, Crom Fayer. (I like the Cleric/Mage!)

Not bad for only going through BG2 once, I thought. [img]smile.gif[/img]
