    The Candlekeep Annex: RPed Baldur’s Gate No and Low Reload Adventures

    Congrats! Glad to see Fusrodah meet his destiny, and with a suitably dramatic conclusion, lol. Fusrodah's run was outstanding and I commend you for it. You have my congratulations once again. As for whether it's a no reload...that's an unambiguous no by our standards, sadly. Fursrodah died...

    Sorry I couldn't ne more helpful. I'm not sure if any of my trilogy no reload successes included the Sendai and Abazigal Improved enclaves. Maybe Arkona? I'm not sure I'll make it to ToB, tbh. As mentioned earlier, I'm basically in a holding pattern right now, awaiting packages. I'm not sure...

    Condolences, Finarfin. It was a fine run, nonetheless, and I thank you in particular for highlighting the utility of Mordy swords. “Mordy Prisons,” as some players called them, were a common tactic in the early days of the no reload challenge on the old, old BioWare forums. I, personally...

    Lol! I'm not sure if you're joking, Wise, but in case you're being serious, I wasn't referring to TV. I was referring to the 1970's art punk band called Television. They were in residence at CBGB in Manhattan for years and their debut album, Marquee Moon, is considered to be one of the best...

    Condolences, Borco. I, too, had high hopes for Mephala. M/Ts are well suited to the ToB endgame, and you were doing an excellent job of exploring her abilities. Sorry to see her go. Any thoughts on your next character?

    It's a shame that you've missed Television for all these years, but the upside is you're in for a treat. Sometime soon you should set aside 45 minutes to give Marquee Moon a critical first listen. Based on the songs you've shared in the thread and your appreciation of the Dolls, I'm pretty...

    Smart move. Pocket Plane Challenges 2 can get dicey for soloist running SCS. I've had a few close calls there myself. (I'm not 100% thrilled with the current state of the pocket plane challenges. At one point 1 & 2 felt overtuned, especially 1. Now 1 seems fine and 2 seems reasonable. As for...

    Btw, Wise's idea reminded me of something. We have a hall of heroes in this thread, but we haven't really done anything with it. The concept was to honor distinguished runs based on either NR success or writing. I'd like to revamp how our hall will work to make things more inclusive and fun...

    Very cool idea, Wise! What a wonderful way to link a character's personal item with their backstory. Inspiring! Cheers! A.

    Glad to see you chugging away, Wise! I love how you always come up with an interesting character concept, sometimes original, sometimes inspired by lore.

    It's always good to reconnect, B! I'm basically in between adventures atm. I'm back from Japan and getting ready to return to Peru. I'll leave for Peru as soon as my cold weather hiking gear arrives from the States and I'm not sure how long that will take. I may start a run in the next couple...

    Greetings, fellow wayfarers! I've mostly been skimming of late, so I have a lot of catch-up reading to do. I will say that we're privileged to have two talented players active right now, and I look forward to following the adventures to come. For those who are wondering whether I'll be joining...

    Hey there, hi there! I'd love to give you advice on the SCS Sendai fight, but the truth is that I don't have much experience with it. Our installs are pretty different. I run with Ascension as my primary endgame difficulty mod. I use SCS too, but I skip two of the SCS ToB comments, Improved...

    Yuppers! Vorpal weapons are helpful against SCS demons, and RoP + 2 and Ring of Fire Resistance is mega better than the Claw against balors. If you end up collecting Ravager it’s super-useful at the throne. (Sorry Arkona wasn’t more helpful in regards to your demon woes. As I’m sure you...

    Welcome to the thread, Finarin! I look forward to following your adventures. I’m abroad now, without my computer, so I don’t expect to be active anytime soon, but I’ll be back home in about a month. Hopefully the stars will align and you, me and Borco can run simultaneously. That sounds fun...

    Top 20, 100, etc List of Games

    Makes sense. ME3 faced the most substantial challenges narrative wise, and it met those challenges reasonably well. I respect that. As for gameplay, I, personally, was disappointed with 2 & 3, since I regretted the movement away from the more RPG-like dynamic of 1. I appreciate that I’m in the...

    Top 20, 100, etc List of Games

    Interesting. I'm not sure that I've even played 20 games, so I definitely can't offer a top 20. I'd be curious to hear about your placement of Mass Effect 3. Putting ME3 on the list, and not ME 1 or 2, is an uncommon take. I like the ME3 ending more than most people, but I still wouldn't view...

    You've by now made it further into Durlag's Tower than I ever have. I only tried the warder fight once. That was long, long ago, before I knew how to play. I lost and bailed, never to return.
