Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: The Windspear Hills, Part 3 In our last session we very nearly finished up the Taar Windspear quest. We passed by Samia, accepting her key, and then made our way to the woflwere hallway. I was disappointed to see regular wolfweres here...

Correct! All we need to do is start using it. Thanks for posting the link! Cheers, A.

For years I was ashamed to admit I played the game in RL, specifically because of Minsc. I didn't want people to associate me with him in anyway. I made a few posts bashing him back in those days, and it made people sad. I could tell there was a well of affection for him in the community and I...

Noted! I've uninstalled it. The conspiratorial side of me thinks it's all a scam to keep Spell Shield out of our hands, lol. (It wouldn't be the first time. During my IA solo Sikret asked me, through an intermediary, where I got my Spell Shield scroll from. I didn't play later editions of IA...

Yup! My bounty hunter, Alesia, pictured to the left, has a thing for Saemon. She has trouble with relationships, especially with men, so she likes that he's usually off doing his own thing. She also enjoys matching wits with schemers, because she's a schemer herself. She'd never have kids, but...

That's my concern. I need 2 at least, preferably 3, and I haven't gotten any yet. In my last party game, which was an all arcane crew, I chose a sorcerer PC and created a sorcerer NPC to mitigate the risk that we wouldn't have enough Spell Shields to go around.

I don’t recall encountering it back in the day either. I noticed it in a Saros run, and made a point of maxing the relevant resistances when under fire shield from that point on, for fear that it might pop up. I never saw it, though. It may have been fleeting, TOBEX related, for example, or it...

Thanks for the input, Enuhal! Yes. I've always felt comfortable working around that. I've never succumbed to it. My concern has historically gone in the other direction, avoiding leveraging the bug. Saros used to wield it against IA enemies. I found it kind of hilarious in that case because of...

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: Windspear Hills, Part 2 In our most recent session I came face to face with my arch nemesis: the hobgoblin shaman in the northeast corner of Firkraag's entrance hall. Once upon a time I attempted a blind solo no reload of Improved Anvil...

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: Minor Quest in Athkatla and Windspear Hills, Part 1 Shortly after our triumph over the Unseeing Eye, Nalia started getting antsy about her father's funeral. That's fair. I had completely forgotten about it. We had our chit-chat with Isaea...

It took me a long, long time to embrace Minsc. I mostly came around because he is beloved by the community, and I respect that. Aerie has always been my favorite NPC. Based on what I've heard I'm pretty sure I'd find her romance cringe, though. Also, the telegraphed virgin, mommy, whore dynamic...

No worries, my friend!

Respectfully, you seem to have misinterpreted my statement. The compromise of nostalgia isn't applicable to all legacy players, but a subset of them. It's not applicable to new players, because you can't have nostalgia for something you never experienced. It goes without saying that not everyone...

On more note to all the EE lovers out there. Antimatter is correct that I'm on the other side of the fence from the legacy community on Fallout 3. I'm also on the other side of the fence from the legacy community in another game I play, Street Fighter 6 (I'm a Modern Lily for anyone who knows...

Correct. If I had played the old Fallout games, I'd probably loathe Fallout 3. All indications are that Bethesda didn't do a smashingly good job of managing relations with the legacy community. And to be clear: To anyone who is new to BG. Go ahead and try the EE's! They're great! Have fun! You...

Thank you for your perseptive, Xzarloxara. I agree with you in the main. That said, Neera's introduction is significantly more intrusive than any of the originals. I agree with Antimatter that Viconia is the closest to Neera, in terms of how elaborate her introduction is. Viconia is, however...

I look forward to hearing about it :)

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: Party Rundown- Boo's Astral Menagerie I think it's time for a party rundown. Whaddaya say? I'll take your collective silence as tacit agreement. We're doing this. But first, we should talk about this post's subtitle, Boo's Astral...

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: Gaal We ended our last session by taking a nap over by Sassar et al. When we awoke it was time to face Gaal. This encounter isn't always trivial for my solo characters, so I took it seriously. It ended up being an exercise in, um, yeah...

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: The Unseeing Eye I'd like to dedicate this song to Yoshimo: At this stage of the adventure we'd like Nalia to replace Yoshimo as our thief. That's fine. It works. But whenever I find myself planning a plan to take done a big bad baddie, I...
