Yet another bleeding BG thread *sigh*

Then go watch the Gladiator matches, Jamski-San uses one .

[duke o' york]

Never heard of him.

I was just joshing you, but good plug nevertheless. Besides, I am at all the Gladiator games! Where do you think your colour commentator Skanky "The Skank" Burns gets all his junk food and mid-match booze from? Your friendly pie- and pint-seller and peanut- and popcorn-chucker extraordinaire! Unfortunately this means that I don't catch much fighting, because the big fight fans are very hungry!

[Jamski]

Heh. I was going to say "Go and watch Kill Bill," but I guess Gladiator is a good subsistute.

Heh, Mr Bytheway, you know you're playing ToB when...

...your hacked "infinite bag of holding" is full.
...you leave +5 weapons on the floor to "save time"
...it takes longer to cast your buffs than it does to actually do the fight.
...you consider a medium level god to be a balanced random spawn.



Everyone loves a bit of monty (and I feel its deserved at this final stage of the story)

Kill Bill works too - if you listen carefully you can even hear someone saying katana, which is translated as "sword".

I've never managed that - but I did once fill an unhacked one with "things I need to sell as soon as I reach the next shop".

Too true.

I had actually completely run out of cash (only had a few thousand left ) and needed more to upgrade my weapons, so I was glad of it.

That's what katana means.

Heh, running out of cash in ToB? You must have been using that mod for improved upgrades from Cromwell and Cespenar. Although that ring that summons 3 elementals at once is good...

Well, possibly, although it used to, and some might say still does, refer to a specific kind of sword, rather than all of them. Certainly in BGII it refers to a specific kind.

No, I'm not. I don't quite know what I've been doing to be so poor, but it's probably mostly because I'm too much of a hoarder. I refuse to sell things like Carsomyr, even though I have no Paladins nor thieves in my party. It's just too precious .

The scary thing is I already do this. Actually only +4 weapons, since it is SoA, but still

[J Bytheway]

Shucks - it looks like it was just a false alarm - Sola getting a bunch of new abilities, not the Eclipse party. At this rate I'll not get to the eclipse party before the end of the game...

I swept through Abazigal's lair this evening. Draconis was much easier than I expected and Abazigal much harder... I guess it's a result of altered party composition, or some such thing.

So... just you-know-who left now (and if you don't know, then I won't give it away), and with luck

Spoiler:

I'll be able to get him to aid me this time, because I'm sure I could use the help for Ascension . Last time I played this I didn't have enough wisdom to persuade him, or something like that...

[duke o' york]

Hot damn! Off the front page!
Those Morrowind fanatics will mock until the cows come home if they ever get wind of this one.
Just because we haven't got the Spammaster General bipolarbear posting in our thread does not mean that BG is devalued in any way!

Er, to try to rescue this post from being classed as "Morrowind level", you'll need an update from my current game. Well I was going to play a little biut last night, but worked quite late and my girlfriend had almost finished watching her video of the previous day's ER by the time I finished so I couldn't use that time profitably.
More, and better, news on Monday I hope.

[Jamski]

There'd better be

I finished HoW last night, and returned to IWD, now up to the Lower Dorn's Deep chapter (6), and really getting into butt-kicking mode

Need... a bigger... sword...

[Skanky Burns]

Haha! Off the front page!
Us Morrowind fanatics can hereby be considered to be mocking you!

[Jamski]

We don't know what you're talking about. This thread was always on the front page.

And why do we care what american MW fanatics think?

Did much playing the last couple of days. My party has now completed the Underdark and just got back to Athkatla. About to finish my Ranger Stronghold Quests and doing Jaheira's Romance before going to kill a certain Vampire. I have help against Bodhi, but I want to try it single handedly, just my PC. He's an undead killer, so a false dawn and then laying into her with the Mace of Disruption and Crom Fayaer might be enough. I'd love to see him manage it.

[duke o' york]

What's a false dawn? (says the BGI player) Is it some kind of primo buff?

[J Bytheway]

The game sayeth:

False dawn calls into existence a bright reddish light, as if a sunrise were occurring, within the area of effect. All undead creatures within a false dawn suffer 6d6 points of damage. There is no saving throw against this damage. Affected undead also act confused on the round after the false dawn appears.

Not as much damage as sunray, but the confusion is very helpful.
