Nice work so far, Borco! I like that you're assembling the party early and taking on storyline challenges, like Tarnesh, as they come. I've been pretty cowardly in my run. I kind of wish I had played around with a party a bit to get comfortable before my run. Anyhoo, keep it up!

Agreed. I ran a Transmuter in the Ascension solo challenge many years ago, nudged by a friend and forumite, Potty1. That was before the nerfing of Polymorph Self so it wasn't terrible early on. It did get rough later. We suffered our first reload in Spellhold, against a lich. From then on...

Bummer, OrlonKronsteen :( The SCS Spellhold Irenicus is kind of chaotic. Sometimes it's super-easy; sometimes it's super-hard. There's no shame in falling there. I typically pre-buff before Lonk, and then convince him to let the inmates out. Fighting him would definitely make life more difficult.

Makes sense. As a practical matter I think they made the right call. The wizard slayer kit is too niche for an NPC That's one of many builds that I haven't really explored. Since I've played no reload style almost exclusively for most of my career I haven't really finished the game with that...

Haer'Dalis is cool. I agree. Unique. Coherent. Relatively complex. He's definitely one of the best. I like Aerie, Nalia, Imoen, Mazzy, Haer'Dalis, Viconia and Valygar, more or less in that order. If I were to do a tier list based on preference, not power it would go: S: Aerie, Nalia, Imoen...

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: Kaol & the Gang After a round of drinks at the Flagons, Alena resolved to finish what she started. We would head to the Windspear Hills and enter the tomb of King Strohm. A little righteous grave robbing never hurt anyone, right? That...

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: Bodhi's Lair, Part 3- Bodhi If you've been following this run at all, you probably know how our showdown with Bodhi went: Aerie kicked the crap out of her, taking no damage. Buffs can be read off the portraits, for the curious. We skipped...

Does anyone know what the deal is with the Legends of Baldur’s Gate comic series? They used to be available for free with an Amazon Comixology subscription. Now they’re not. Amazon only has one edition of the paper version now and the pricing is insane, $72 in acceptable condition. Have they...

I'm going to go with lucky that you're not dead, lol. Close calls don't get closer than that! 1HP! (You see, OrlonKronsteen: Those are the kinds of epic moments that Drizzt couldn't resist sticking around for. Can you blame him?)

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: Bodhi's Lair, Part 2- Tanova and Lassal I shared my concerns about Tanova with Aerie and Nalia. They brushed it off. They figured the plan they used for Conster would work again here. I wasn't so sure. Alena, ever fair, ever balanced, ever...

Wise is just that cool. Drizzt couldn't resist. I'm surprised Elminster hasn't signed up too.

That's a bit much for BG1, lol. It's your call. If you want a balanced playthrough then you should drop him. In the alternative, you could accept the gift and have goofy fun with it. Have you tried researching the issue? Maybe it's a known bug, with a known solution?

In BG1 Drizzt is level 16, which means at least 2.4m XP

Go, go Drizzt! If this is a bug that's getting you down, then I apologize for making light of it, but the idea of Drizzt joining the party and just rolling with you all the way to Sarevok is kind of hilarious. It would be doubly hilarious if he were a fully leveled, full fledged Drizzt. He's...

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: Bodhi's Lair, Part 1 At the time of my last update the plan had been to fight Samia. It didn't take me long to change my mind. I wasn't feeling it. I needed a change of scenery. We headed to Athkatla and progressed down the Shadow Thieves...

Following up on our discussion of Aerie, @OrlonKronsteen. I mentioned that she's my favorite NPC. Upon reflection, that may be because I've elaborated on her personality a bit. In my view of Aerie the saccharine sweetness you mentioned is a cover for a hidden well of rage. She was on the sweet...

So, we're like a post or two away from Drizzt v. Drasus, aren't we?

Quick Note on Alena's Game: Who Are These MFers and Why I Love Bounty Hunters Following our rescue of Taar, we started making our way back to Samia. For the first time in literally forever I tried going west. There was a cave to the north, which you probably all know about. To the southwest...

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: The Windspear Hills, Part 4- Conster When I'm tasked with an assassination, as in the case of Rayic Gethras, I'm comfortable using insta-kill tactics. But when a foe expects a confrontation, as in the case of Conster, I prefer to be...

Btw, @JanJansen, I found the perfect meme for you:
