Oh No! Not another Baldur's Gate thread!

Shadow Armour More useful and less money than Robe of xxxx Archmagi.

My main character really is an undead hunter now, having cleared the Bodhi's Lair and the entire Unseeing Eye quest single handidly. The Mace of Disruption really is just too good!

Mmmmm..... toasted Minsc.
I'd like mine medium rare, how will you be having yours Jamski?

Umm... Feebleminded, Polymorphed to a squirrel and turned to stone in Demogorgon's prison, just before reading the scroll.

Please.

I can always kill more winter wolves if necessary.

You can't keep killing them I don't think they are random monsters. Eventually you will have slaughtered them all

PS: if you in the dungeon, don't forget to have your thief detect traps or you'll be toast

[Dis]

don't kill all of them. They will go extinct?

I'm getting another copy of Baldur's Gate 1 shipped to me. I will be playing soon hopefully.

I saved my old save game, so I'll probably start from there. In the city of Baldur's Gate. Although I kind of want to do the other areas again, they were fun. I'll finish this game. I may even start another game with the tutu mod.

I don't know about the winter wolves not being random. I got one of those dumb fights when travelling, and was gutted when I saw that it was only an ogrillion. He didn't last very long, but just when I went to leave the area and get back to my travels, a winter wolf ran round the corner. 500g for a random encounter!

[Drogue]

500gp isn't that much though, is it. I'm never short of money in BGI, I finished it with 69000gp, after not finding anything new to buy. And I'm not sure oif they're random or not, but I've fought 20 odd Winter Wolves over the course of the game, one map with 6 or 7 on it.

[duke o' york]

Well I bagged 6 on my first visit to the hills SW of Nashkel, and 7 on the second (including one in that random encounter), but it did involve lots of running around and resting before they show up again.

[Drogue]

That's 3 grand a trip, not a bad catch! Why still short of money? Surely with other stuff, you'd have enough for Shadow Armour, Full Plate, and possibly even a Robe of Archmagi and the Poison Dagger - all the really expensive items (unless you use Crossbows, which few do).

money can be short at the beginning of Baldur's Gate. But if you do everything, you will eventually have plenty.

Possibly, but I'm not that convinced. There are better arrows than bolts in the game, and better THACO and damage bonuses in longbows than the LCoS has. Also there's the cost. It's fast, but only as fast as a longbow, and with longbows and composite longbows giving major pluses to THACO and damage, as well as better arrows that enhance that effect, I think it's better than the fact you get a d10 rather than a d6 weapon.

[Jamski]

Isn't a light crossbow a d8 weapon, so even less good ?

-Jam

[Dry]

d10 in BG1, d8 in BG2.
IWD, I don't remember.

[Drogue]

Yes, Dry is right, it is d8 in BGII, and d10 in BGI. I presumed we were talking about BGI, but it wasn't specified

[Jamski]

OMG, I'm losing it...

/me runs off to browse BG with NI...
