My progress has been good. I dropped some of my family on a temporary basis to do Tenya's and Gavin's quests. Unfortunately the game is rather buggy and I am thinking that having a six character party isn't going to work. As soon as I have dealt with Bassilus, I will reduce the party to five...

Defeated Baeloth, but needed to raise Magus. I found hat I didn't need the robe of the good archmage. I'm pleased about that as earning the cash to buy it would have taken quite a long time. The first time that I have defeated the Black Pits. :) I should perhaps have had a sorcerer as my sixth...

Resistance to cold potions do stack. My paladin with cold resistance of 20 gets 120 after consuming 2 resistance to cold potions. It seems that unless specifically mentioned, that they do stack. Chants for instance do not stack and this is specifically mentioned!

Some spells etc are not stackable so as to prevent you getting 100% resistance.

In Baldur's Gate: Are potions and scrolls of cold resistance stackable?

Some of the levels are quite challenging. I am going to take on the trolls and the splitting slime a few times to buy better equipment. They are easy with fire arrows and they also boost experience. I've already been there three times and with the gold have bought belts, sunstone bullets and...

I've discovered that Black Pits has to be played very differently to BG1. In BG1 you end up with more fire arrows and the like, more potions than you need. In Black Pits you are always short of gold and have to keep repeating the same challenges in order to buy equipment, spells etc. This makes...

I have just delved into the Black Pits for a change. Party is a Cavalier, a Berserker, a Priest of Helm, a conjurer and a bounty hunter. When my Bounty Hunter levelled up to level 8 his weapon slots disappeared. Reloaded the autosave and he then levelled up properly. I don't understand it, but...

Journal of Nick the knife. This battle was disastrous despite winning it as to raise Jet 'Laya my gold was reduced to 254gp. :eek: I need to buy bullets, but gold is insufficient. I will therefore have to sell some loot. Half my party were killed!!

Journal of Nick the knife. Died on my first attempt at relieving the Siege of Boareskyre Bridge. :( However my next attempt was successful, though half the party got killed. I raised Jet 'Laya first and she then raised Minsc and Dynaheir. I think that I now have a better idea about how to...

After going further into the dragon cave we killed the sister of the larger dragon by brute force. Safana was badly inured by one of Dynaheir's skull traps. Jet Laya was able to heal her and using "Animate dead" we were able to kill some illithids and othher dangerous enemies. A priest of...

Finished the Dwarves of Dumathoin quest using only one of the charges of "The Secret revealed." It will make any encounters with a lich much easier. :) Coast way crossing is destroyed. Now at Troll Claw Woods. Safana got killed. It cost 1000gp to raise her, and gold is not currently...

Journal of Nick the Knife - Sarevok dies We have arrived at the Ducal Palace minus Baeloth and Aloea and absolutely no gold.. I didn't have much previously as I had spent all but 22 gold on scrolls. I and Drizzt are at the experience cap of 500,000. Safana joined us at half that. Thorin...

I have been doing the Dark Side quests, helping Jet'Laya, killing the Nashkel Deagon and the like. Now going to find Mayor of Nashkel's son, but first killed a few ankhegs to boost Baeloth's experience enough to go up a level. Found him! Due to not seeing us, he didn't teleport away. Now to do...

Not knowing what an LLM was, I Googled it and am no wiser. :( The Wiki page that I arrived at was written in gobbledegook, a language that I have never learnt.

Having gone through Candlekeep with ease, I picked up Alora and we are now outside Durlag's Tower. It would probably have been better to recruit her earlier, but too late now. At least I was able to give her good equipment. :) We killed the warders with ease and as we progressed I learnt just...

Upon donning a wig that I found near the site of Gorion's demise, I have discovered that people think more highly of me, fancy, a Berserker being of Lawful Good alignment. I supplied Imoen with leather armour and a long sword and left her at Beregost where I did a few trivial quests...

In the basilisk area we were attacked by adventurers. They were strong but unwise. Kirian cast two lightning bolts and though they killed our skeletons, she also killed both herself and another party member. A shame that. We didn't get the experience, and we had already almost killed Lindin...

That's a shame. :(

Female dwarf portraits were so hard to come by in the past. From images like this, it is so easy to make portraits for Baldur's Gate and the like. :) I just hope that the artists who drew the originals are getting full recognition. That is something that will be so difficult to check as an...
