Things You Can't Avoid Doing in the Original Baldur's Gate Trilogy: Enhanced Edition

[Alesia_BH]

I don't know about Aerie, but Jaheira is a druid and believes in balance and nature, Viconia is a drow and they aren't exactly known for their conservative family lives, so while they maybe wouldn't get along with each other, I doubt they'd have a problem with the concept in general.

We have very different interpretations of Jaheira's character.

If Khalid cheated on Jaheira, I'm 99% sure she'd beat him with her quarterstaff. I'm also 80% sure that Khalid would enjoy getting beaten.

I forgot he had that. I don't use Pick Pockets very often cause you gotta have a really high Pick Pocket skill to successfully Pick Pocket anything and it's kinda frustrating

That's what Potions of Master Thievery are for!

@ZaramMaldovar That is exactly why

I can't help but farm Ankhegs as soon as I can, usually by level 2 or 3, until I hit about level 6.

 

[ZaramMaldovar]

I don't go near that place until I'm at least Level 4. I suck at fighting Ankhegs. The Basilisks on the other hand....

I usually go for winter wolves instead. They are a lot easier and are worth the same amount of XP and gold. The only problem is sometimes you get a horde of kobold archers instead.

They appear when you rest outside the Nashkel mines, just in case you didn't know.

I never, in a million years, would have guessed that winter wolves spawn in the Naskhel Mines area. What are they doing so far south anyway? I don't think i've ever rested there.

What are they doing so far south anyway?

If you go south from the Nashkel mines, you hit the Cloud Peak mountains. Which is clearly where the population of winter wolves seen in the BG wilderness comes from. They can be found in AR5200, AR5300, AR5400, AR5500, and OH3000 at spawn points, and in AR5400 as a rest encounter. All of those areas are along the southern edges of the map, in the Cloud Peak mountains or their foothills.

The only other places winter wolves show up are in the ToTSC content - a pack in Durlag's Tower brought in by a dungeon-builder to fill an elemental theme, and a natural population at the ice island in the far north.

When it comes to farming ankhegs ... they can hit hard if they get lucky. I wouldn't consider it unless I was running a melee protagonist that could use a helmet, and even then I probably wouldn't do it. It's just boring, and there are more interesting ways to get enough XP.

Trying to identify all the characters voiced by the same actor.

Does anyone know them all? There must be a list somewhere

Robbing every house in every town or city, even when playing as a paladin.

Forgot about this one. I'm an incorrigible packrat (in all games that I play), so yes, if I see a container, it's getting looted. XD

 

[Alesia_BH]

Btw, with regards to actors who voiced multiple characters, there's a comprehensive list here. Some of these are really surprising. I would have never guessed that Yoshimo, Minister Lloyd and the Avatar of Rillifane were all voiced by the same actor, for example.

Voice Actors

@Alesia_BH
Montaron died?

 

[Alesia_BH]

Earl Boen, yes. He passed away this year.

That was one of the most surprising ones for me. I knew Earl Boen from the Terminator films. I never would have guessed that he voiced Montaron.
