Indeed. I am still surprised about what Elminster does to Edwin. I mean, Edwin is two levels higher at the cap!? The guy is awesomly powerful and freakishly paranoid, but still Elminster gets to do him in? Irreversibly!?

Elminster is the chosen of Mystra. That is how he gets away with it. Yah, I know, that is not a very satisfying answer to me either. You just have to accept that Elminster is the walking Avatar of Mystra and deal with it

What make Elminster so strong is the fact that he is based on Gandalf.

I would be estatic to be proven wrong on this point btw. Unfortunately I just don't think I am. </STRONG>

The BIS boards mention that Bioware is working on all-comprehensive ToB patch, and has abandoned its "piecemeal" approach to patching a few problems at a time.

hopefully that patch might fix a few things...

The problem with you guys is that you play trough the game too fast.I got the game for a week now and I'm still playing(I'm not a beginner)

What do you mean, play through it fast? Most of us have had the game for months, and quite a few (like myself) love to linger over and examine all the details of the environment. I check out every conversation I can have, speak to everyone in an area, and investigate everything I can find.

1 time i wana know is wtf is up with those historical charcters being so bloody weak i mean seirously. any of my npcs dueled the whole freakin drizzt in fact 1 time i made a party of tanks the whole game no magic hehe and i spawned a drizzt for each of my dudes to battle and everyone fighting a drizzt of their own they beat him up EASILY with like all of 18 dmg even without using whirlwind i was pissed!!! so i spawned 12 drizzts for my level 40 monk in a difrent game I TOOK THEM ALL ON no specail abilites no specail equipment just my own fists and feet hell i didnt have gaxx and stuff on either i did it nude after that 1 time i took on 12 drizzts nude!!!! as a monk it was really funny but sad. i always thought he is supposed to be powerful i also spawned in drizzts team a few times for my monk took em easily each time hell i even summoned a couble dragons for him and he took them 3 AT ONCE!!!! granted i used greater ww hehe the cap is way to high it seems to me im already a god at level 40. i basicaly soloed most stuff with him. hell in most of my games the only good mages are for is breach the game needs more chalange if you ask me

As an expansion for an existing game,ToB is arguably the best ever (I remember those old Red Alert expansions- 20 quid for a dozen half arsed solo missions and multiplayer maps? Cheers Westwood ya rip off sellout to EA cheapskates GRRR). However the fact that its just an expansion is the main problem for me. ToB has so many ideas in it that I reckon it was the framework for BG3- a game that the developers always said they were going to make but now can't be bothered. Bio probably wanted to wrap things up with the Child of Bhaal thing as quickly as possible and get stuck into NWN. Therefore we get left with a conclusion to one of the best series of games ever that feels rushed and smacks of 'will this do?'
