OK I am a BG2 n00b. How did you take down the dwarf in the in off the Promenade.

Never used emotions either, despite the hours I have spent with this game.....maybe I'll give this spell a try when the expansion comes out...

Heh. I doubt if it will work on the level of opponent you'll be facing in the expansion Accord. But give it a shot anyway.

If there's one complaint I have about BG2, its about the level of powergaming thats inherent in it. Thugs and Slavers giving you 1000s of exp a shot? Simple quests giving you 18000++ exp? The 8 million point EXP cap? Where's the fun of having a character with 6 hitpoints gone to?

------------------
Why?

Web, Entangle and Stinking Cloud. 3 separate Saving Throws each, and it doesn't turn them hostile. Then, fireball and other effects (don't forget the Wands from Irenicus' dungeon). Shoot the nearest plebs

If i recall correctly there was no fun with a 6HP charcter to miss!!!

Do you really like dying and reloading?

Absolutely right my friend!! Getting killed by an Xvart is a humbling experience. Not much fun there. I prefer to be able to survive for more than 3 seconds when attacked by small furry creatures too.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Memnoch, true....actually I am considering starting the game over once I get the expansion, get myself back into the story.

Yes perhaps 6HP is really weak, but I'm talking in terms of IWD, where you start your character from scratch. I still remember when I played BG and left Candlekeep after Gorion died..there was this wolf in the forest that kept killing me..I would just try walking to the end of the screen and the damn thing would come out of nowhere and take a chunk out of me (you must know that I was a terrible player who thought BG could be played in the same fashion as Diablo).
