Dunno about NPCs but the most annoying thing/voice is the: "You must gather your party before venturing forth".

I'll marmelise him.

Magusg: Just a thought... are you running out of disk space or have you filled your temp directory or root directory? I know you say that your problem is *not* system related, but it sure as hell *sounds* like it is. I presume you know about Fastfind too...

Weasel: You shouldn't be having problems ...

The music's crap. I turned it off on day 1.

Still, there's not many games that actually have good *original* music (I mean like the FIFA series has some top tunes, but they're written/sung by "artistes").

The only one that springs to my mind is HOMM2. The music was so good that they made a hack to ...

I think Celestial Fury is overrated. It's only +3 and while it's very effective against the 2nd team, it's not quite so hot when you have to fight the "A Team", who may be immune to the additional powers. There's not really another Katana that's special, unless maybe you're a Kensai/Mage and dual ...

OK, everyone knows about Crom Fraeyr and Carsomyr, and the piles of Long Swords, but not many appreciate this one:

Axe. Azuredge. This weapon is bugged and as such is close to being the best weapon in the game (does 3d6 damage instead of d6). To counter that it's "death" powers against undead don't ...

The CPU?? Are you sure you don't mean your hard drive?

Do you have WinME? If so the problem is the Restore function. Every time you change a large ...

So I got 4 Fighters when I need to fight and 4 spellcasters when I need the magic.

You're all doomed. Doomed I tell you.

SHE's watching.

That's put a bit simplistically, but that's essentially what I think, too.

Everyone does stuff that fits their view of themselves. Frank Herbert said it in Dune Messiah, "A being would rather kill itself than become that which it is not". Or something like that http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/wink ...

Speaking for myself, I think alignments are pretty well the dumbest thing about AD&D - and that's saying something...

Nope, Jhareth. I haven't read "Tales of the white wolf". However I have met both Moor**** and Gygax

What the hell's going on today? This dumbass **** thing is getting out of hand.

There are two "hacks" - simple XP cap remover doesn't apply rules properly to higher levels. There is a level 50 rules override though - find it at baldurdash.com

Didn't mean to cause offense (well maybe a little...). Just pointing out that Tiamat originally came from Babylonian Mythology and also that she was around in version one of the rules (when the numbers of dragons were much less) - so she pre-dates Krynn. Just like me.

Read every Moorcock book going. Elric was his first, and probably best, though.

And talking of oldie (but goldie) Fantasy books, the Lankhmar books take some beating - the Gray Mouser is one of the great creations.

I'm sorry to say that IMO the AD&D based books are generally rather trite.

Forget good and evil. Play Chaotic!

Renyu - I think you gotta problem. Your party isn't really very well balanced (I don't think pure Swashbuckler is a good choice for the PC in BG2 unfortunately).

I suggest either Jaheira and boost her strength, or Jan and boost Viconia. Can you dual-class your swashie?

Take their clothes of and let them romp naked in the forests.

[Am I the only one who's getting fed up with these stupid damn "romances"?]

Drakron - you remind me of the Oscar Wilde quote, "He knows the price of everything and the value of nothing".

Krynn is just a way to milk extra $ from the unwary. Tiamat existed before Krynn.

Actually Azuredge is bugged.

It does 3d6+3 damage, which means it's *extremely* powerful. However the undead stuff *mostly* doesn't work.

There's a fix at baldurdash.com if you want to make it work like it should.
