Hey, thanks for the reply. I feel a bit stupid. I didn't realize that I could go back to Kuldahar from the severed hand. It's a two day round trip, but that's better than resting for 64 days. Plus I got to unload a lot of my unidentified items. Good to know there is an npc healer in the severed hand ...

Thanks for the response, I hope more will chime in. Glad you liked the questions Gaal Dornick feel free to port them to another forum if you care to have the same discussion with another game, BG2 for instance. I just recently purchased BG2, but I'm trying to avoid getting too distracted from ...

Playing style

I would love to hear about your playing style. This seems rather vague so I'll make a list of questions. Feel free to add to these questions or only address a couple. Comment anyway you like. It seems like there are a lot of posts on tactics for battles and party building and of course requests for ...

Chapter 5 (conclusion)

I had finished dragon's eye level 3 last time. I finally got into chapter 6. Dragon's eye level 4 was pretty fun. I like the whole time shift thing. It seemed pretty straightforward so I was glad to be able to do it without consulting the walkthrough. There were a few tough ...

(continuation of previous message)

At this point I was stuck for a while even after reading the walkthrough. I searched and found the trap for the metal door, where the slimes were, but I couldn't disarm it. For the longest time I was stuck on trying to find the "right equipment" as the text for ...

Chapter 5

I haven't pointed out that there are spoilers ahead before, since it was already done earlier in the thread. Plus, you are reading a narrative, so it seems unavoidable, but I have tried to avoid quest specifics. Anyway beware if you don't want to read about guardian killing tactics or ...

Chapter 4 was fairly challenging. The first 7 of the 8 chambers were easy; I did them all with my fighter without too much trouble. Did have to heal up in between chambers though. Then the 8th chamber - holy macarel! I had the worst time here. I must have attempted this 20+ times with no luck ...

I had a very hard time with this also and attempted it 20-30 times. I did it with my fighter and the hint that helped me was to hit once and move. Concentrate on the same monk until he dies then attack the second. I managed to kill one of them with the throwing axes and used the regular battle axe ...

Chapter two was pretty easy in general. There were a few tough fights. Illium was tough which surprised me because when I came through with a party of six he had been very easy. With the six I had everyone use ranged weapons, they took him out in no time. Tried that again, but it took too long and ...

Duo, chapter 1 conclusion. Started outside area above horde fortress. I was rested and nearly fully healed. Started out with 6 archers and an orog commander on the upper level. I figured a horror would distract a few of them then just use ranged weapons. Trouble was I kept moving too much and ...

Duo continuation. Still in chapter 1, caves east of Ennelia. The remaining battles in the first cave were not bad. The spiders were actually quite easy. I remember having some difficulty with them when I came through with a party of 6.

I installed the patch before going into the second cave. The ...

Imp Inv does take a little of the fun out of it. Well ...

I liked the suggestions so much.

Like Ysen I have become very interested by the soloers adventures. I have not even finished the game yet though, so I think I need a little more experience before I tackle a solo game. I got the game in December 02. I took the advice of the game manual for my ...
