@Finarfin Some battle! :)

I've never had a katana, wakizashi or ninjato break on me. Journal of Jarlaxle I beat the occupants of the Bandit Tent single handed and have arrived with my party at the Friendly Arms Inn. The potion of Fire Breath was sufficient to kill three of them and the hobgoblin archer was easy in...

@Borco Protagonist does get struck by lightning in my runs. Perhaps you had weather switched off? In my games it has usually when I've gone for a coffee and forgotten to pause the game when this happens!! @Alesia_BH @Borco I do like the descriptions of your runs. :) It's the first time that I...

Journal of Jarlaxle Xan helped some Lady Ogres to lose weight. :) Oublek died a hero attempting to save a boy. Afterwards we DID save him. Xan later insisted that we rescue some slaves. I was a bit ambivalent about doing so as taking advantage of them had its positive side. We bade him...

I only get to eat dal bhat when we go on holiday. I was on Madeira last year and was able to use my Nepali language as a lot of the waiters/waitresses were Nepali. There were two Nepali restaurants, one that sold high class food, whilst the other was more like the food that I ate in Nepal. I...

I had never heard of TV the group. Sorry, I didn't listen to the music which would probably have enlightened me. I'm afraid my musical tastes are rather dated. 50s and 60s and a bit in the 70s, though I do like Katy Perry.

Journal of Jarlaxle. We have entered the Cloakwood Mines and were able to save Miner Beldin by using a skull trap. (Sadly no reward for doing so. :() Further in we came across assassins. One with a light crossbow +1 and poisonous bolts made great inroads into our stock of potions. Clearly we...

When we lived in Nepal in the eighties, we "missed out" on TV for three years. Actually it wasn't the TV that we "missed out" on. It was no electricity (therefore no Baldur's Gate), water in the taps (where we had them) not being safe to drink, only having a choice of dal with rice or rice...

Journal of Jarlaxle. Since we were outclassed by Greywolf, we recruited Branwen who cast doom and command twice. The Command spell didn't work despite "Doom." However, together we did defeat him, Artemis, being the most effective. We then took the emeralds to Oublek after dropping Branwen off...

Having thought about it a bit longer, it would probably have been better to encounter them later: perhaps after leaving the Nashkel mines. I might work on that idea for my next game.

Starting this run again after correcting the resistances. Journal of Jarlaxle Our village was attacked during the night by Hobgoblins and Artemis and I only survived by hiding beneath our beds. The Hobgoblins looted our possessions some of which were of high quality. Gorion found us and...

I will play this again in the near future However, I will first play a Cavalier along with some NPCs that I haven't played before: Skeezer Lumpkin VI and Valerie. Both from mods, no idea which ones. I played solo up to level 3 and then recruited Sirene, Skeezer Lumpkin VI and Valerie. I haven't...

As per above I have started a new game with a fighter and a thief and decided to try Jarlaxle and Artemis with their stats. Obviously I don't have as good proficiencies as they had, I couldn't believe it when Zordral's spell panicked Jarlaxle and subsequently killed him. Then I discovered...

Yahoo! I have managed to solve my installation problem! I copied the videos from an unmodded installation, overwrote the ones in the installation that I was using. Now the game doesn't crash and I have arrived at The Coast Way Crossing. Clearly, all that was the matter was a corrupted video...

I thought that I'd tracked down an installation that worked in would you believe it? A backup folder. Sadly, I was wrong.

Trying a Dwarven Cavalier. Journal of El Tel'lerian When Gorion found me, my entire family had been slaughtered and all possessions looted apart from a katana inscribed with the name El Tel'lerian. It had probably been left because none of the raiders were skilled in katanas. Having no other...

Every time I try to leave Baldur's Gate, the game crashes! :( I started a new SoD game an it crashed once more. Looks like a fresh installation id the order of the day. :( Not tonight though. I'll save as much as I can before doing a re-installation. I have recently had a computer crash...

I tried a Blackguard armed with a cursed katana. The curse causes berserk state. I was doing OK until an ogre had a lucky strike- game over. :(

Journal of Dh'arlome, chaotic evil human Conjurer. Being the cousin of Dh'arlome, the rather weak mage for whom the Robe of Dh'arlome was made, my own preservation is top of my agenda. Despite his robe, perhaps BECAUSE of the robe, enemies were queuing up to kill the current owner. My only hope...

Journal of Firebeard Bloodaxe In the battle with Sarevok Semaj teleported into a cluster of traps and died. Sarevok chased Coran, but when taking a shortcut to catch him up ran into Dynaheir's web spell. Meanwhile, she cast Cloudkill which was fairly effective whilst I and Firthgill fired...
