Baldur's Gate
Anybody ever finish this one? I dug it out recently and restarted (never finished it last time). I've made it into the maze (Chapter 7) as I chase Sarevok.
I've managed to kill the Doom Guards (or whatever they're called) but those damn skeletons afterwards are giving me a really hard time. I was really enjoying it all but now I just spend my time hurling curses at my PC. Anybody got any helpful hints to help an ageing adventurer? (I'm determined to finish this game......someday)

Re: Baldur's Gate
I don't seem to remember having much trouble with the Doom Guards or the rest... I finished it quite quickly...
I tended to have my main character sooped up to max... Best armour, weapons, etc... If he (she) dies, it is GAME OVER... Then make sure that the rest have a mixture of magically enhanced ranged weapons... And the magic users at the back firing offensive spells!! |

Re: Baldur's Gate
Yeah! I finally managed to finish this game (after all those years...no wonder I feel old).
You were right Master. It was just a case of getting the right blend of weapons and magic (although it took me four frustrating days of load and re-loading games to finally defeat Sarevok). Onward to Icewind Dale!

Re: Baldur's Gate
Happy to hear you got to the end...
Oooo, Icewind Dale - first one... That is a swine... Took me several weeks to complete it... And managed it with a LOT of luck!!! If you have Tales of the Sword Coast and Shadows of Amn - do them first... Same characters... Icewind Dale and Heart of Winter are different characters... |

Re: Baldur's Gate
I have been playing 'Temple of Elemental Evil' which was strangely the first tabletop AD&D game I ever played. It's not too bad tbh, I was expecting to be irritated by it and I'm quite enjoying it

Re: Baldur's Gate
Never played BG1, but in SoA its quite easy. For your main hero just get either a Kensai or a Monk, and the game wont be that hard. If you want it even easier, go to multiplayer, create 6 characters, load them all into the game, save it, and then move the save file into single player and poof! Youve got 6 souped up characters from Day 1. The only problem with this (other than overeasiness) is that the game will seem to lack flavour, as your characters will never interact with one another or speak like the storyline chars do.

Re: Baldur's Gate
I don't know, tried my luck with Baldur's Gate II and managed to screw up right in the first chapter.
 Will try it someday again when I've got my hands on a PC with some decent equipment.As to Icewind Dale... counselled my boyfriend all through the main story line and enjoyed it greatly. Ok, there were some pretty hard battles, but nothing insurmountable. Took us 2-3 weeks. But we could only play in the evenings and not all the days... It's different from BG as you make up all the characters yourself, so no characters directly linked to the story line (and yes it's got a story line!). But my personal favourite challenge will remain Neverwinter Nights. It's all new level of experience!

The controls are much better then NWN letting you determine the exact actions of the members of the party, the top level is higher and the overall feel of the game is good. You can find more info here: Temple of Elemental Evil There is a downloadable demo as well.
