Seeking advice for an old game...

[WarLocke]

The way I always handled this was to pick up Valygar and kick out Jan Jansen. That way you can use Valygar to open the Planar Sphere door (it stays open forever now), kick him out, and then walk the short distance to Jan's house and grab him again.

I may have to do that. I'd hate to miss out on Crom Faeyr (at the least; just killed the shadow dragon awhile ago and have the scroll for it).

After completing everything in Ch.2 and then going on a shopping binge, it's not uncommon for me to still have 100,000+ gold... Money is definitely not a problem in this game.

Tell me about it. After doing the Promenade, Slums, and a tiny bit of the Docks (got hit with that random encounter of the poisoned guy, had to take him to the Harpers) and buying the Blade of Roses and one of those Fire-dmg longswords, I left for Umar Hills with about 9k. After doing them and the Ruined Temple, I now have 34k, lol. Time to go pay off the Shadow Thieves and buy Vhailor's Helm, I think...

2) After some thought, I don't know if I would recommend a Monk for someone's first run through the game (and I see you haven't) because one of the best things about your first experience with a game like BG2 is finding and using items. Monks, although very fun characters, lose a lot of items to experiment with which is kind of a bummer for your first time.

Well... I actually restarted. I got tired of my cleric not being able to hit the broad side of the barn (too used to 3E clerics, I guess), and Jaheira seems to be plenty good for healing. So I made an Undead Hunter. THAC0 8 at level 9 = yummy!

3) All those dissing Aerie should be shot and killed. You love Aerie, don't fight it.

Umm... Aerie's annoying. Jaheira is much more attractive, and her romance is way better, anyway. B)


Just load up Doom, Doom and GreaterMalison into a spell sequencer.

Actually, I downloaded BaldurDash's fixpack, and one of the fixes was to make alot of spells nonstackable. Doom and Barkskin are the ones that come immediately to mind...


Manually edit your registery to remove all refereces to Planescape: it's not very difficult.

Eek! Don't scare me like that again... :(


Oh, and...

Mazzy Fentan rules!

Cute, sexy, great voice, awesome skills (Grandmaster in shortbows and specialized in shortswords at level 9, woot), and special abilities out the wang (2x Haste, 2x Strength, 2x Remove Fear, 2x Lay on Hands)!

Hasted she's like a midget on crack...


You know, there is a mod coming out for IWD2 which is basically the BG2 storyline.

It's like Baldur's Gate 2, with third edition rules and the IWD2 engine.

I heard about that, and it sounds great (3E is soooo much better and AD&D it's not even funny), but I thought it wasn't done? Or still looking for beta-testers, or something of the sort? Gonna have to check that link.
