New all purpose Baldurs Gate thread

[Traianvs]

Haha I spoilt it myself when I started a game of ToB to see what it was like... that was stupid

Well fighters can take a lot of punishment.. I like that Nasty backstabbers can't kill you in one strike

Oh btw I had no crashes today while I did the 'lilarcor' riddle and the slaver's compound. I don't know why myself, must be my shoddy computer I guess.
I do wonder what the hell that room is you can access in the sewer under the copper coronet. You have to kill some mykonids and a mykonid king, but that's it... a door to another planar sphere or what? and for what purpose is it there in that sewer?

[Drogue]

Lol... Having *$%£)%^ dualed to a thief would seem a little out of character to me. However good he is, he won't be in my party though, unless it inproves dialogue tremendously. Not due to allignment, I just don't think my NPC would ally with him.

[Jamski]

Drogue...

Spoiler:

You can change his alignment and "redeem" him...

...not to mention that Deathbringer Assualt + Assassination + UAI + Holy Avenger = about 500,000,000 points of damage per round (ok, well more than 1,000 anyway)

Another cut quest, and not enough traces left for the Unfinished Business crew to reconstruct it... yet...

Spoiler:

No chance, Dukie *sticks out tounge*

Can you resist it?

Go ahead and read it, DoY.

I think he already did

Jamski:

Spoiler:

It's not an allignment thing, it's just because I don't think my character would side with someone like that. He's still smarting after Yoshimo's actions, and wouldn't kick an old friend out of the party to allow a old enemy in.

Also, being a non-paladin, how can he use the Holy Avenger? A big if that's a special, even redeemed, he's no paladin, since even as a good character he would have fallen, and hasn't lived his life according to their standards.

I always kill the myconids. even though there is no reason to. I figured it was something unfinished.

[Jamski]

Yeah Drogue, the dualclass to thief would be required for that.

And ANY creature that can cast Confusion (the most annoying spell I can imagine) deserves to die, so see the myconids as simply a task for the good of mankind.

I haven't, but I'm really tempted.
I don't want to spoil it though. I'm enjoying BG1 at the moment, and am keeping an eye out for no 2.
Was there something rude under that spoiler?
I would hope not. I shall see you at dawn if there was Mr Jamski. Would you prefer +3 two-handed swords or ultra-light crossbows?

[Jamski]

Nope, nothing rude. I wouldn't call Duchess of York a fat cow and then hide it under a spoiler tag.

(me sharpens his +3 two-handed sword anyway *

Well, I took the *new* NPC who shall be nameless, and left Mazzy in my new house.

Given that the new NPC is (currently) Chaotic Evil, do I need to keep my reputation below 18? It's easy enough to go Buffy now and then (and take the -2 to Reputation for doing so), but if I don't have to I'd rather not.

Also, how can I get to Watcher's Keep? I'm in some town with flaming catapult stones raining down on me right now. I know ToB is more linear, but didn't realize it was linear to the point of not being able to pick where I'm going ever.

[Drogue]

Jamski: Can thieves use the Holy Avenger when dualclassed from fighters? That's a little freaky!

You have to escape from Saradush and then you are free to wander about the world map a bit. The game opens out slightly. Look at the beginning of SoA, its just the same. You start imprisoned somewhere.

Thiefs can take Use Any Item (UAI) as a Higher Level Ability, and it does like it says on the tin. Use ANY item. Of course, you need Fighter levels to get and ****'s in 2-handed swords, but you can really use ANY item, even ones that only certain NPCs can use Its the best thing about being a Theif.
