Thanks, Orlonkronsteen! Glad you enjoyed the run :)

Astrid, Halfling Priest of Talos: Melissan My characters have long suffered for my principles. I've completed multiple insane SCS-Ascension solos, and multiple SCS-Ascension solo no reloads, but I've yet to complete an insane SCS-Ascension solo no reload because I've been unwilling to bend my...

More importantly, I'd suggest that the purpose of the alignment system is to facilitate role playing. To the extent that it gets in the way of role playing, we should feel free to take liberties with it. (Or maybe that's just the Chaotic Good in me speaking, lol) Anyhoo, know that I respect...

Neutral Good or Lawful Good, I'd say. Most people who know the show would assign him to one of those categories. Worf is, as you know, a Klingon. He has intensely violent impulses, which he reigns in through adherence to Starfleet principles and practices. He also routinely releases his...

Do you know Star Trek: The Next Generation? What alignment would you assign to Lieutenant Worf?

Great question! Atm, I know all the traps and their effects. That said, I recently came off a 6 years break from the game, and upon my return I had forgotten most of them. I still didn't lose any characters to traps. Focusing on the main quest line, the damage traps in BG1 only come in a few...

Are you new to the forums? Interested in a Candlekeep Annex run, but a little overwhelmed? Maybe a little shy about posting in the thread? This is the place for you. The purpose of this thread is to give prospective Candlekeep Annex participants a place to introduce themselves, ask questions...

Even within the paladin class, there’s room for variant character concepts. I played a paladin once. She was an undead hunter named Alessandra. Alessandra was deeply affected by the taint. She became a paladin because she wanted a structure to control her urges, along with a socially sanctioned...

Well, I don't spend as much time gaming as you probably think, lol In a normal year I only have access to a computer for about five months, in the winter time. When I do have computer access, I sometimes, but not always, choose to play a game. When I do play I usually pick Baldur's Gate, but...

Will do! I'll set up a lounge semi-soon. Cheers, A.

Thanks for the feedback, Urdnot. The approach I intend to take here is a kin to the one we've long used in the no reload challenge. A bit of discussion is welcome in the main thread, but if a conversation is likely to get lengthy, or if we'd like to encourage a broader audience to participate...

Thank you for your perspective. That's a fair argument. I don't have a strong opinion on the sling issue, and I don't believe Serg does either. The phrases I used were "I'm not sold on it" and "I don't love it." Serg merely said that he wasn't "sure" he liked it. Abstracting away from the...

Glad you enjoyed it :) Yes. All slings stack strength damage in EE. I'm not sold on that change either. Back in the day, in the Baldurdash era, Everard stacked strength damage. The G3 team suspected it was a bug and contacted Gaider. He confirmed that Seeking should be the only sling that...

Astrid, Halfling Priest of Talos: Demon Battle Addendum As Astrid and Balthazar debated the fate of the balor and marilith, the demons, fearing for their lives, unexpectedly broke into a song and dance number. I'm not sure where they got the backing band from, but the balor impressed on...

He's late to the party, but here he comes:

Very cool! Congrats! This calls for a beach party celebration! Hooray!

Thanks, OrlonKronsteen! As for your question, Ascension is a unique mod. As you may know, it was a labor of love, composed by BG2's lead designer, who lamented the rushed nature of the original release. To my way of thinking Ascension isn't a mod: it's the ending. The original release, in...

Astrid, Halfling Priest of Talos: The Demon Battles Following a stellar performance in the demon battles, Astrid and Balthazar are rolling into the final fight like: We started with the middle pool. This is the easiest demon battle, and it offers a most excellent prize. After pre-buffing...

Astrid, Halfling Priest of Talos: Ascension Irenicus I'm pleased to report that Astrid has completed her first battle at the Throne, and it was full on: Seriously. I've never seen a smoother Ascension Irenicus battle. It took me a while to setup Astrid's spell book for this fight...

Quick Note on Astrid's Game: Astrid is alive and well, for those who are wondering. She's still chilling in the Pocket Plane, plotting and scheming. We'll proceed once we have a plan. I expect that to come together semi-soon, within the next couple days.
