Journal of Jarlaxle. Since we were outclassed by Greywolf, we recruited Branwen who cast doom and command twice. The Command spell didn't work despite "Doom." However, together we did defeat him, Artemis, being the most effective. We then took the emeralds to Oublek after dropping Branwen off...

Having thought about it a bit longer, it would probably have been better to encounter them later: perhaps after leaving the Nashkel mines. I might work on that idea for my next game.

Starting this run again after correcting the resistances. Journal of Jarlaxle Our village was attacked during the night by Hobgoblins and Artemis and I only survived by hiding beneath our beds. The Hobgoblins looted our possessions some of which were of high quality. Gorion found us and...

I will play this again in the near future However, I will first play a Cavalier along with some NPCs that I haven't played before: Skeezer Lumpkin VI and Valerie. Both from mods, no idea which ones. I played solo up to level 3 and then recruited Sirene, Skeezer Lumpkin VI and Valerie. I haven't...

As per above I have started a new game with a fighter and a thief and decided to try Jarlaxle and Artemis with their stats. Obviously I don't have as good proficiencies as they had, I couldn't believe it when Zordral's spell panicked Jarlaxle and subsequently killed him. Then I discovered...

Yahoo! I have managed to solve my installation problem! I copied the videos from an unmodded installation, overwrote the ones in the installation that I was using. Now the game doesn't crash and I have arrived at The Coast Way Crossing. Clearly, all that was the matter was a corrupted video...

I thought that I'd tracked down an installation that worked in would you believe it? A backup folder. Sadly, I was wrong.

Trying a Dwarven Cavalier. Journal of El Tel'lerian When Gorion found me, my entire family had been slaughtered and all possessions looted apart from a katana inscribed with the name El Tel'lerian. It had probably been left because none of the raiders were skilled in katanas. Having no other...

Every time I try to leave Baldur's Gate, the game crashes! :( I started a new SoD game an it crashed once more. Looks like a fresh installation id the order of the day. :( Not tonight though. I'll save as much as I can before doing a re-installation. I have recently had a computer crash...

I tried a Blackguard armed with a cursed katana. The curse causes berserk state. I was doing OK until an ogre had a lucky strike- game over. :(

Journal of Dh'arlome, chaotic evil human Conjurer. Being the cousin of Dh'arlome, the rather weak mage for whom the Robe of Dh'arlome was made, my own preservation is top of my agenda. Despite his robe, perhaps BECAUSE of the robe, enemies were queuing up to kill the current owner. My only hope...

Journal of Firebeard Bloodaxe In the battle with Sarevok Semaj teleported into a cluster of traps and died. Sarevok chased Coran, but when taking a shortcut to catch him up ran into Dynaheir's web spell. Meanwhile, she cast Cloudkill which was fairly effective whilst I and Firthgill fired...

Journal of Firebeard We have just defeated the chess board. If I am able to defeat the entire tower, I expect to reach SoD. However, it's a BIG if. EDIT Well, I defeated the Demon Knight, summoned skeletons and monsters being useful, as was Dynaheir's Cloudkill spell. (It slightly injured...

We have at last entered Baldur's Gate City and done the legal quests there. We returned to the iron throne next. It was NOT a problem, neither was Candlekeep. We are now in Durlag's Tower and have defeated the 4 warders. (By leaving the tower until a bit later it is SO much easier. Tenya has...

CúChoinneach left and Minsc joined! I didn't keep CúChoinneac because I have found him a bit buggy. :( I think that it's his dog that is the problem. After returning to Beregost we were asked to search for a missing dwarf in a cave on the Nashkel road. In there we exchanged Minsc for Ferthgill...

Returning to the mines, Davaeorn was no match for summoned skeletons. At the FAI Jet 'Laya joined us whereupon we went in search of her sister whom we killed upon discovering that she had become a banshee. We have now been tasked with killing a dragon near Nashkel. That was not as...

Journal of Firebeard We picked up Coran and made our way through Cloakwood. The battle against the dragon went much easier and the only real problem was against Drasus when I lost control of much of the party due to Confusion. We all did survive somehow. I had to use an extra healing potion...

In my Baldur's Gate game there is a character named Bruenor Battlehammer who owns a helm, armour, and a shield all named after him. He also has an axe named after him, but NOT a hammer. That is weird! Does anybody know why? After all he did make Aegis-fang, so there seems no reason for him not...

@Borco You really do need some protection from fear when taking on Zordral! In my current run it was rage, but there are a few options. One of course is to run away through the tent flap just as he begins to cast it. On occasion I have panicked but outside, and he hasn't followed me. When that...

Journal of Firebeard Bloodaxe I joined up with Tenya and together we cleared the ankhegs, medusae and basilisks with few problems. We are now entering the mines, (The spells of the assassins [from a mod] there recently brought a run to an end. I'm hoping that buffs will make them a little...
