Btw BG cost me £3, though it hasn't arrived yet. I wont get around to it for a while, since the new TFT patch is coming and I'll probably play that for a bit.

thats less than $5 US, right? thats even better than my bargain bin hunting.

It was second hand though.

Wand of Monster Summoning is the business

If you think its getting empty, sell it, and buy/steal it back for a full recharge.

would you like Swiss, American or Provolone with your wand, sir?

Yeah, for reasons that we wont go into here I already had ToSC, so I went for a cheap copy of BG alone.

Well at least you BOUGHT SOMETHING, so you contributed, however indirectly, to the game industry/economy. Better than some.

Believe me, i looked for BG second hand. Never found any flavor of BG, used or new, for that low. Of course i didnt try Ebay.

Will Dynaheir automatically get Fireball when she gets to level 4? It's not that far off, so I'm thinking of just noodling around so I can get her the experience required, before going off to fight nasty things. I bought Fire Missile (I think that's what it's called) from Thalantyr, all thanks to my lovely heroic discount. Trouble is, it won't let me write it into her spellbook yet. Don't know why, because she's already got one level 3 spell in there, although she can't actually cast it yet.

You get no spells automatically when you level up... and you need to be level 5 to cast Fireball, Fire Arrows etc...

Well worth waiting for, however.

I'm not sure who are you implying, but yeah, I buy lots of games. I am often cautious though, so I'm no angel in that I do often 'test' games.

Why not? Here in the UK there are loads of copies on there, all going cheap. If you pick someone with good feedback it isn't really even much of a risk.

Level 5!

I'm going to have to really find some interesting things to kill to get my levels up. I heard someone mention basilisks before. Will they get me tonnes of exp? What about sirens? I'm still not sure whether to start off going east or west. Which do you think would be easier for a party of 5 level 4 characters and 1 level 3 enchantress? (Actually, I think she's an evoker, but hell )

[Jamski]

Both Basilisks and sirenes are killable at level 3, and give tons of XP and loot.

You're silly NOT to go and kill them.

[duke o' york]

Is that a vote for east or west?

[Stuie]

Sirens - think seashore.

Basilisks - think not seashore.

[duke o' york]

Thanks for that political punditry in this terribly tense election Stuie.
I may well get my swingometer out later, as the votes continue to pour in. East or West? East or West? East or West? East or West? East or West? East or West?
Aarrggghhhhh!

I like to support my local games stores/bargain bins, as long as they have stuff I like. And I just like going in, looking around, and buying something. I mean who needs delayed gratification when youre spending less than $10 US on a game? Also im an old luddite who hardly ever buys anything online. I did buy a book (for a friend out of town, so i thought heck, im gonna be shipping the thing ANYWAY) on Amazon, so I may start using them. EBay I need to think about some more.
