I’d be interested! Of course, that’s a small audience for so much work.

@alice_ashpool Thanks for the response, and anyone is welcome to join in! I probably should have mentioned that I never play solo. Still, the advice on practice - particularly on doing it so intensely - is valuable. Ditto for running parallel games. As an FYI, the farthest I ever made it in BG2...

@Alesia_BH How on earth did you get so good? I couldn’t no reload BG 2 if my life depended on it - even with a light SCS install. Would you recommend doing full runs with reloads for training?

@alice_ashpool That was a very entertaining read. Thank you! @Alesia_B Try it as narrative? Why can't you get through TOB. Solo to hard with kensai? Maybe grab a companion or two? @m7600 Good job. I'm really feeling lawful neutral here.

Love the Connecticut story tie-in. 😂

I think this is a great idea. I have moved to this style of play as well. I usually play fully in character, meaning I sometimes make what would be, from a purist no-reload standpoint, suicidal decisions, depending on how events unfold. For example, if my PC is emotionally volatile, he (or she)...

Is it okay to ask for no-reloading advice in this thread, or should there be a separate thread for that as there is on the Beamdog forums?

Welcome and enjoy your stay!

Ingenious - it really captures the essence of the game. I tried it as a cleric and managed to survive. Time for a no-reload run. ;)

"I had to, father. Despite your legendary career as a wizard and your great influence at Candlekeep, you only gave me 50 gold pieces with which to equip myself." I always wondered how Gorion ended up so broke. The closest I can figure is that he lost it all in the turnip market.

Buying Hasbro will be my first order of business (since Twitter has been taken). But don't worry: I won't purge half the staff and force the rest to go 'hard core.' There will be Ravenloft and Dark Sun for all! Now: how to get that rich... hmm... Feel free to start a crowd fund for me?

I'd love an isometric Ravenloft game. And, by golly, if I was ever as rich as Elon Musk I'll put all my resources into getting one made!

I love the indoor use of fire spells, explosives, and the like without environmental repercussions. Not an RPG, but my favourite was the rocket launcher in Resident Evil. You could run around the mansion blasting away without so much as setting the curtains on fire. 😂

I'm not sure, but I'm starting to feel like the odd duck in this thread.

Speaking of reactions, what does the goose signify!

The business of video games is utterly bizarre in this era. Despite tremendous popularity and prevalence in our culture, most companies seem to dwell in treacherous margins where unexpected variables can spell doom. And the fact that they need to use their paying customers as testers en masse -...

User mileage may vary, I think. Personally, I find BG1 to be a good length for me. BG2 is too long, which is one reason I’ve only finished two games since the EEs came out.

I won’t hold it against you, but for the record, no, I don’t want to join the Church of Shar. 😂

I posted similar threads back on the old Beamdog forums (specifically in reference to a paladin taking Edwin or Viconia in BG), but I thought I’d bring it up here. What is your take on good characters (e.g., a paladin) taking evil characters in their party? This can be in the context of BG...

A mistaken assumption is often made here that the ‘observer’ is a conscious entity. But it is really fascinating nonetheless. You forgot taxes.
