Carsomyr too powerful? (spoilers)

Haladar · 02-05-2002, 04:31 PM

I've played a cavalier all the way through from BG1, and at the start of BG1 i made sure he had godlike stats, but now, near the end of ToB, he's just too powerful. Nothing even hurts me anymore. I have 85 Magic Resist, so with mages i just stand there and wait for their protections to wear off, with undead, even the shadow master near the beginning of ToB I just turn undead and the all gib. I'm not even high level, because i have been playing with a party. I took on demogorgon 1 one 1 and kicked his a**. Irenicus at the end of BG2 was no challenge. Dragons are easy, because of magic resistance and fear immunity. the only spell that ever hurts me anymore is magic missile, where i generally take 5 damage. It seems to me that Carsomyr is far too powerful, as it means nothing can stand up to me.
Anyone have other views on the subject?

What difficulty are you playing on? Your Cavalier isn't immune to physical damage, so if the game's too easy, consider setting it to Insane.

Then Dragons will hurt again, indeed.

you only really come up against tough physical monsters like fire giants in ToB, and by then you have hardness which gives 40% physical resist. I will try on insane mind you, i was playing on hardcore.

Solo my Cavalier, carmosyr and armor dragon, is the hardest of defeat.

Not a chance mate, It gets better in ToB! An there is another weapon that is +5, but isnt quite as good. But they are in ToB.

When TOB was about to be released the developers decided that the BhaalSpawn and Demogorgon were to hard so they toned them down to make them easier.

David Gaider from Bioware has released some mods that return these enemies to there Full and extremely hard difficulty.

I used to think like you did I had an unbelievabley hard Cavilier and no equal, but not now

If you want a challenge then download these Mods from
http://www.planetbaldursgate.com/bg2...es/index.shtml
and try to finish it by going solo with your character on insane difficulty.

(There is now a multiple Dragon fight. And Illasera is actually a tough opponent).

Happy gaming and good luck
