Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 11 – Shadows and Chains Whispers carried to Conan in a smoky tavern: the Shadow Temple, a ruin deep in the wilderness, drowned in darkness and crawling with the restless dead. Treasures, they said, lay buried beneath its stone cold vaults. Conan fingered the mace...

How do you aggro only non-caster statues? I tried it myself before, but ended up only succeeding in one of them. Call for help ensured most of them came later along with mages. And good job on surviving! I guess most characters have their near death experience. All chars have to experience that...

that's really helpful, thanks! I was sure it was on the steps where Ava is standing on the picture and that's why it surprised me. But since Ava is standing on the other side, I see there is a way to get behind it without triggering it? Do you have to stick to those back of rice or the other...

yeah, BG1 went easy, but in BG2 both this and the trap which I wrote about in part 5 (or 6?) were close calls, luckily with happy ending. Does anyone actually know how far that trap there goes? Not sure if it's intended that it goes so far, but it's dangerous as hell. Will have to take a...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 10 – The Cursed Keep In the smoky hall of the Copper Coronet, where he had once split chains and freed slaves, a fair maiden approached him. Her name was Nalia, a lady of noble birth, her keep overrun by beasts. Conan was never one to refuse a princess — especially...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 9 – Queen of the Damned He returned to the crypts with his new weapon, and this time the dead fell like wheat beneath the scythe. Each blow flared with holy fire, tearing vampires into ash and smoke. His laughter echoed off the cyclopean walls, a sound louder than...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 8 – Crom reborn It began, as such things often did, with drink. After his fight in a tavern, Conan sat over an ale-stained table, when two grave-faced merchants whispered nearby. They spoke of a mythical relic hidden deep beneath the graveyard, a weapon forged in...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 7 – Wrath of Trademeet The city’s stink still clung to him. Conan needed air. Needed space. So he left Athkatla behind and followed the road into the wilderness. Soon he came upon a small town called Trademeet. Yet for a place of trade, no merchants shouted, no carts...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 6 – Slaver's Den He woke beneath a swaying tent pole, head pounding. Whether from the wizard’s torture or last night’s ale, Conan could not tell. The taste of iron and beer still clung to his tongue, sour and heavy. But his mind was clear enough: he had two goals...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 5 – Shackled God Victory over Sarevok brought no peace. In the days that followed, whispers filled Baldur’s Gate of the First Warrior reborn, the dwarf who fought like a god. Some called him savior, others demon. And in the shadows, a man in dark robes came forward...

Looking forward to the updates! Have you decided your take on Melissan with Ava? And have thought more about the wizard slayer?

I had exactly 0 screenshots after Cloakwood mines, typical me :D. Sorry about that, had to improvise little and I focused more on the writing part, hope that's OK. But to summarize it, BG1 went really easy with barbarian. I am pretty sure it was the easiest run of BG1 so far. Extra speed helps...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 4 – The Final Battle Semaj What in the Nine Hells was he even doing here? Semaj was a learned man. Once, he’d had a wife in Beregost, a cottage with blue shutters, a fig tree in the garden. He’d promised her they’d go south, maybe Amn, maybe even Calimshan, somewhere...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 3 – The Shadow of the First Warrior The mines were drowned, the bandits broken, and the iron flowed once more. With the Sword Coast saved from ruin, the gates of Baldur’s Gate finally swung wide. To most, it was a victory for trade, coin, and politics. To Conan, it...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 2 – The Iron Road Conan’s journey through the Sword Coast was carved in blood and steel. Forgotten towers crumbled before him, their halls filled with vermin and restless dead. In one ruin, he even laughed aloud—its black stones and jeweled statues reminded him of...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 1 – Awakening (I only have 22 screenshots from the whole BG1 run, so it will be a bit brief. Something got bugged I think and some mages acted weird when I had barbarian rage on. I didn’t do anything different since Luke, will have to do a reinstall next time) Conan...

I have had 9 tries for a no-reload run so far. My first 3 chars didn't even make it to Baldur's Gate, but last 2 chars made it all the way to ToB, so that's positive. 10th time is the charm right? So I was thinking what char would be good enough to beat Sendai and Melissan, and I decided to...

Our mothers always told us: 'Boys, you should play outside when the weather is so nice'. Well we took that advice to heart: Continuing Kalam and Ryland adventure with @Borco

I have tested the level drain saving throws a bit further. This might be common knowledge, but I will post it here just in case someone will find some use in it: - shorty saving throws are kept even after level drain - shorty saving throws do not go under 0. If they did, Luke would survive. That...

After reading the wiki, it says even passive bonuses disappear until original level is restored, meaning hell bonuses as well: https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Level_drain So I think even if he went good path in there, he would still die. I still don't understand the meaning behind the level...
