I can understand that, and to get clues you are almost pushed into using the Beamdog NPCs.

The only real letdown that I've discovered is that there aren't enough recruitable NPCs. It is more linear than BG1. Journal of Giantkiller and family We cleared the ankheg area and basilisk area without difficulty, and I and Dragonslayer have reached level 6 and reputation 20. :) We cleared...

Journal of Giantkiller and family Command was very useful when it came to fighting Zargos. He had a +1 axe, so avoidance of blows was essential. Upon killing him, two of us reached level 2. :) In the battle against Zordral, sadly Spellcaster was a casualty. Aerie raised him at the cost...

I might well do that. I knew SoA pretty well back in the days of Tutu and liked it. Every time a new set-up is used it can change the game dramatically. SoD is of course new to me and I'm enjoying it immensely. My last game was the first one where I have been defeated in the Coalition...

Journal of Giantkiller and family It was Gorion who rescued me and my family when we were attacked by elves. They wrongly assumed that we were a raiding party from the underdark rather than refugees. He brought us up in Candlekeep where we were at least safe, if not welcome. Then, one day, my...

@Finarfin Just been watching your videos. Your game is so different to mine. You really have to know it through and through. I don't! However, I am still enjoying it. Congrats. I didn't quite understand the ending, probably because in the only game that I completed, I turned down godhood and...

I have just resurrected three Drow characters from the past, given them different names, and rolled an additional one who is a ranger similar to Drizzt, but different. He was inspired by Drizzt, but is more lawful: indeed, if he had been of human descent, he would have been a paladin. His name...

At last have made my decision. This looked to be a promising start. However, things didn't turn out that way as I was soon at the point of death and needed help from a watcher who killed Shank for me.. You may wonder, "How could this happen? The assassins in Candlekeep are not very...

Mine is the Gog version. :confused: Note. My run finished just as I was clearing the crusade from the Coalition Camp. I'm not sure why. It happened so quickly. Possibly a backstab. I should probably have sent summons ahead of me but didn't. :( A Dwarven Bounty Hunter. A totally different...

@Finarfin Just wondering what software you use for your videos. Is it free? I'm rather out of touch about such things now I am retired.

Visit to family and a conference now over. We have rejoined with Khalid and now have to decide what to do next. Jegg has made us a couple of decent shields. (Former experience has taught me that the armour that he makes is OK but not much better than what I already have.) We just managed to...

Journal of Helmuth in Dragonspear Arrived at Coast Way Crossing, getting there was trivial. We came across some dwarves investigating a cave. We had run out of spells when we found an access to an inner sanctum. We therefore returned to the coalition base to rest. We found Skie out...

Journal of Helmuth in Dragonspear I have finished the Prologue and both Valerie and Sirene have left. I don't know how permanent that is. I'd be disappointed to lose Val after nursing her into becoming a very good sorcerer. If I don't get her back, in future I'll have my own sorcerer in the...

Journal of Helmuth We continue progressing down the tower. Mostly straightforward apart from the Dwarven Doom Guards. Usually I leave them be, but I deemed the party powerful enough to take them on. Buffed activated dead meant that we had a buffer in front of us. Used a lot of Wand of the...

I've really enjoyed reading your write-ups. Thank you! :love:

Coanan is no more? He is deceased? He is a dead barbarian? :eek: If so, very sad. Meanwhile the Helmuth party fought the warders and prevailed, though they were badly hurt in the process.

Journal of Helmuth Currently looking for Otho's nephew. We dropped off Jet' Laya and recruited Fergill Trollslayer, a Berserker Dwarf who was surrounded by swarms of Duerger. We prevailed, though we did have to flee, heal ourselves and return. The loot consisted of vast amounts of +1 axes...

Journal of Helmuth On arrival at the FAI we met up with Jet' Laya and left Morwen there. A shame as she had become a useful member of the party. However it was Jet' Layas sister that we were rescuing. We spent a lot of gold equipping Jet, some of which seems to have been qasted as we have...

Journal of Helmuth In Tazok's tent, I used a potion of firebreath to kill three of the main enemies. Three with one potion is quite effective! I then fought Hakt in melee after taking a green potion to cure me of poison. While I was fighting him the rest of the party entered and that was battle...

Journal of Helmuth We killed the assassins at the bandit camp using web + AoE spells, then killed an ogre with a belt fetish using command and missiles, then all the bandits nearby with Fireballs. Then went to Beregost and killed Tranzig using melee combined with magic missiles. Returned to the...
