Yeti Came to the Wrong Neighborhood

Imagine thinking your gonna destroy a tiny man and within 3 seconds he transforms into a polar bear and hits you so hard you explode.

People, or yetis, should really know better than to mess with tiny men. They have probably never met a LotR hobbit, or Tyrion Lannister.
Man's most dangerous weapon is the mind.

A cool moment to capture!

That's very cool! Please continue to post updates on Avael the Bear! What's your kit?

Its a Fighter/Druid played on insane. I need to record some footage for a video I'm working on about IWD.

I had thought about uploading the playthrough after the fact, but I've had some compatibility issues with the game so I don't think it's really suitable. I can certainly post updates, however.

Yxunomei gets taken to the woodshed while being off-screen for 90% of the fight.

Wow, that's something! You've soloed one of the hardest encounters in Icewind Dale! Yxunomei just couldn't bear your druid!

 

[Fandraxx]

Kind of a weird thing, but I don't think I've ever had a character that physically couldn't miss an (reasonable) enemy barring a critical hit.

Needless to say, rolling a 2 and hitting feels pretty good.

Sorry for the lack of updating. Just put a lot more focus into make sure I got the video done. I'll be sure to post it here when it gets up, considering it's just about finished!

The eagle has landed! Pretty happy with how this one came out, all in all (the sound mixing could be a little better, but c'est la vie). Enjoy!

That is an excellent video with very insightful commentary! Very nice, Fandraxx!

I don't agree regarding the difficulty in IWD being better than in BG, but that's subjective. I agree, though, that it does give you that D&D feeling if you can imagine that you play with the party (as you're playing alone). The game is fun in MP because of that (I've tried playing it playing in MP).

Thank you for the kind words @Antimatter!

For me, the difference in difficulty between BG and IWD is more than IWD forces the player to adjust to different enemies a bit more often. BG has the player spending too much time fighting bandits for my tastes. Both are great, obviously, but IWD just keeps it all a bit fresher, IMO.
