Just started questions. (Spoilers)

Once you get to the Deep Halls, head to the south-west corner to break the ice in the Rhonglyn Room then go north and a bit east to find Nottle....Good hunting!

Yep thats the more exact location, i forgot a lot of the game, be careful, the orogs in that area are pretty strong, and theres a LOT of them.

Tip for the area: Silence works wonders against some of them, and web is usefull to disrupt the strongest fighters for some turns. Just take care, cause you'll need to get till them and you may be stuck on the net (no more BG Cheesy Web). Also, dont buff much here, use your priest spells to hold the enemy.

[WolfHeart]

I never used buff spells besides haste, the disable spells are a much much much much more useful then the buffs, hold person works well against most orogs except obviously their spell casters, and guardsmen/veterans. Web works well for that, but you need to be careful when using it or you can hurt yourself more then you help yourself.

Also dont be afraid to use wands/potions/items that can cast spells, you find more then enough, sometimes a wand of chain lightning can win a battle you where trying to hack and slash for a few hours in 2 minutes. Just dont waste them, theres a fine line betwen putting something to good use and wasting it.

It definitely has problems, mine would occasionally lock up and crash for no apparent reason. I downloaded the patches (last year sometime) but did not install them. I had already started and was leary of adding them and possibly messing up something. Like Wolfheart I was able to finish the game without them. I SAVED frequently, as I usually had at least one crash per session. So patience is indeed the order of the day.

It is interesting to read about all the various strategies. The game does respond well to this and success can be had in any of many approaches. I generally loathe games where there are only one or two ways/paths to win.
I do like to use certain buffs, mainly the long lasting ones like cat's grace and bull strength. But that's the great thing each person can use their own style, whatever you prefer.
