Baldurs gate - how should I start.

[Jamski]

Tell me, I've been looking since July

-Jam

[centrifuge]

Well, I'll go back to where I got it, and see if I can find another one, if so I'll cut you a deal.

[Jamski]

I'll post you whatever you pay in dollars, but in euros, so the difference in exchange rate pays the postage. How's that for a deal?

I think 1 euro buys $1.19 or something ...

-Jam

[centrifuge]

Well, if I can find it, I'll see what shipping will cost and then we can go from there. It's definitely a long shot though, but it's worth a shot. I'm thinking that shipping will actually be at least $5, however. When I was shipping gifts over the holidays, I almost spent more to ship then what was spent on the gifts.

[Jamski]

Well, if the shipping costs $25 I'd still pay, 'cos I ain't paying $100 on Ebay and then shipping as well...

another BG1 question

Ok, ive dealt with the Cloakwood mines, but havent yet

Spoiler:

flooded them

i lost Imoen in the bottom level, and would like to resurrect her and then come back for the loot. But its not clear to me if i exit without

Spoiler:

flooding

if i can return and still

Spoiler:

flood them

later.

I understand that money becomes less of an issue once i enter BG city, so if necessary i will just take out what loot i can manage. (I now have about 5000 GP, but resurrecting Imoen will cost about 1000, and im running short on magic arrows - I know many have more gold at this point, but ive stopped routine stealing from innocents, and i tend to resurrect lost party members, using reload only when i lose my PC, or most of my party)

iirc, you can't do what you want to do there

[duke o' york]

Can I just say that I love your little spoiler quotes, and would like to know how to do them, but am a bit confused that all of the quotes in the post above say exactly the same thing!

Oh, and Jam:

Planescape

Have a look on e-bay and good luck! It seems to be far more cheaply available in German if that's any good to you.

Well, I have BG1, BG2, IWD2, and NWN in German, so I could probably cope

Oh, yeah, i already did that

Spoiler:

went in, and then left with stuff to FAI (wirthout having killed main guy ) and revived Imoen,(who'd gotten killed when i tried to rest in large room) and came back

but then I lost Imoen AGAIN

Spoiler:

when i only managed to disarm one of the two traps, and she was in the front of the party when we faced the battle horror. She survived, but onlyu barely, and then died in the battle with the head honcho. NOw ive got 5 guys, and theyre trying to carry back all loot, as well as imoens stuff, plus two wyvern heads collected on the way up from FAI.

So thats why id like to get to FAI or Beregost, sell stuff, including the Wyvern heads, resurrect Imoen, giving me one more carrier, (even if a weak one).

But it looks like if i leave without

Spoiler:

flooding the mines on the way out, I will not get another chance to flood the mines,

which seems to be important to advancing the plot.

[centrifuge]

I can only suggest that you take advantage of all of your open slots, meaning the ring slots, necklace, missiles, quick items etc. and drop any thing that's unnecessary, such as non-magical arrows and whatnot.

You can leave it un-done and still progress as long as you "got the baddie"
