I heard Sonora was the best of them. Resurrection is its own story, though.

I've played Nevada and liked it. I've heard of Sonora and that it only recently got an english translation, so I might grab that soon. I haven't heard of Olympus. There's also one other, I think it's called Resurrection.

I believe it. With mods, anything is possible.

In second edition and this setting, it just wasn't a thing. Demi-humans weren't even allowed in the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart (think Mazzy), even if they were clerics of Helm, Tyr, or Illmater. AD&D 2e was in a kinda weird space between traditional D&D (where demihumans were ultra...

I have been having a hard time finding gaming challenges to challenge me, but then GoG delivered a possibility in a summer sale. I had heard about this game some time back. I'm surprised it's already 10 years old. Did I really sleep on this one for so long? This is next level patient gaming...

Oh, I thought this was just a hypothetical. That's cool. If you can find a way to diplomatically ask my questions, I would be really curious about the process there. 😁

I'm not sure even that would get you there. I don't think spiritual hammer gets the proficiency bonuses. So, you're doing 1d4+3 at maybe 3ish apr(assuming haste helps with that) against someone with absurdly low AC and 2hp/round regen. I think you get another +4 damage out of Emotion...

lol...he's the reason I like gnomes more than I used to. It reminds me of the time his cousin Rintin Jansen was negotiating a turnip trade with a Calimshite merchant. You see, Rintin actually had been in Calimshan some years back, but on business totally unrelated to turnips. It was a really...

I have it on my GOG list, but it's not currently on sale. I'm interesting, but that game makes me a little anxious. Like, you're definitely going to die in that game, it's just a matter of when. That's kind of a heavy thing to have hanging over my head. 🤣

I think I'm about ready to call this run. I know I'm close to the end and I could just finish it off, but a) this party doesn't feel any different than a non-challenge run party at this point and b) I picked up a few things at a GoG summer sale that I really want to get into. As I mentioned in...

I agree with this. Don't get me wrong, IWD is my favorite IE game and the one I've replayed through more than any other, but it can be tough to avoid getting to a point where every party feels like a min-max party and you're not just steamrolling through everything. I was just about to post...

Totally agree. On top of that, there's buff stacking, but I'll get into that. Wyrm's Tooth was a breeze. The trolls and occasional yetis on the surface were barely a speed bump. The aquatic museum was a little tougher. The most annoying part of it were the frost salamander's auras. However, the...

In typical me fashion, I have been forgetting to screenshot. All I have is this for upper Dorn's Deep. This was after I cleared the area, rested in the next area, and tried to come back to sell swag to the ornery mage that hides out here. I noped out of clearing this level again. The...

They definitely have an easier time getting through (50% MR I believe), though sometimes I cork up the front with skeletons to buy some time and the party pelts them at range. Or, I put free action on my tanks and they get a few free shots when web does proc for the drow.

Was that your first high quality weapon? I usually find stacks of swords, maces, and even axes and morning stars in the Vale of Shadows. I'm working through upper dorn's now and am about to fight the lich. That bridge fight in the second area can be tough, but my strategy is usually to rush...

That's true. If I had a bard, their kill count would likely be close to zero since they would be singing all the time (which is definitely something). And, my cleric buffs are valuable, as is the undead they summon for fodder. It just seems odd to me that when the action starts happen, they...

This is just an interlude with a couple observations. I'm surprised Curgek's kill count is so high (in that he is keeping up with Eldon). Up until recently, he has been using Conlan's Hammer for quite a while, which pales in comparison to the Fast Flail Eldon is using. Eldon, with Cat's Grace...

On one hand, this dungeon is probably the least linear part of the game. On the other hand, it is still pretty straightforward. Everything is undead, so the clerics can turn the mobs and pick them off at their leisure. Prior to the resting level where you access the spires, the enemies are...

Agreed. It's easily my favorite dungeon in the game due to it's variety and diversity. I mean, it's mostly shadow creatures, but the sentient shadows and quests with them are interesting. And the art is done well, so restoring the fountains and arboretum has a nice payoff. I have run through the...

I'm currently doing an Icewind Dale run and need something as a palette cleanser before I start an entirely new concept for an Icewind Dale run. I saw that Riven was on sale on GoG. I played this game after it came out when I was a kid. This series (Myst) was basically the only video games my...
