Gorth

If you strung them all together in a tv drama series, it would probably be as long as the infamous Brazilian Soap series

@Katphood stay safe mate

Continuation from previous thread...

Sadly this thread looks like it's going to need more incarnations...

I don't remember exactly what took place (I was probably more focused on any dragon swooping down any moment and getting some payback for the ambush I set for it earlier). I'm just restarting the game. Need to level up my team then visit the place (it's close to Drezen after all) Edit: Ok, this time I chose the dangerous pass (I probably picked the easy pass previously) and got one of those text based multiple choice adventures. Arueshalae could beat the mobility checks easily and Gorth could pass the athletics checks easily. Now I'm at the tower again the the mission log has updated... Edit2: This time the dragon was there. A pushover just like the previous times (because you have all the time in the world to pre-buff). It was chatting with an old man (the Story Teller which I seem to remember from one of the previous two acts) I was just about to start cringing and preparing indignant outburst of protests when the dragon flew off again to the upper landing, thinking it was going to lead me on a merry goose chase all over the map, but it just flew up the stairs. Finished it off for good and deciding whether or not to pay the money for a not so interesting dwarf party member was a hard decision. In the end I went with the minimum amount for having him stick around.

Well the there was a tower. Marked as part of the dragon hunt quest, showed up on my map after the first blood trail location just outside Drezen. If it's a bug, I'll just ignore it for now. A bit lost where to pick up the dragon trail then Passed the time today by visiting the north west part of the map instead and robbed some dragon burial ground as the next best thing. I suspect the crazy archeologist I left at a sealed door is up to no good

Hehe, no. Not that brave. The game suggested 'Normal' in my first play through, so that is what I'm sticking with. I went to the blood trails and the next stop a bit south was some tower. Artists Tower? Other than a bunch of man eating plants, I didn't find anything there. I'm sure I'm missing something (I do have Greybor in my party in case he's still needed) I might just give the dragon a miss for now and go explore other areas and quests, then return to it later. Doesn't seem to have a timer per se associated with it . Edit: The tooltip says further south, but I didn't spot any obvious destinations on the southern parts of the map.

An old song by my favourite Faeroese songbird

Full mobilisation is effectively today a reality. Even if it's called "partial". Because lets face it, their military infrastructure sucks and half their hardware is repossessed by Ukrainian farmers (minus the stuff at the bottom of The Black Sea) https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62984985 "Mr Putin said the partial mobilisation was necessary to ensure Russian territorial integrity. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said it showed Mr Putin wanted to drown Ukraine in blood - including that of his own soldiers. The announcement applies to 300,000 military reservists." Edit: So, a quarter of a million more men to be sent to the front (if we deduct the expected 50000 deserters)

Not yet... but then I'm only partway through Act III. Ambushed the dragon that Greybor wants as a trophy over his fireplace and next step is to follow the blood trails. Too me forever to find them on the map That said, a Tricksters army has some interesting elements to it Not to mention the spell selection

Ah yes, I was thinking of the floating skull guy you had to fight

Oh, I know. I think most of them have it by now (if not, it's an oversight). In case of Sosiel and Regill definitely. Need to double check what I gave them. I know Gorth, Arueshalae, Ember and Greybor has is. Enemies are frequently using AI (artificial idiocy) storming through and past the heavy hitters for the back line, completely ignoring the often lethal hail of opportunity attacks they suffer on the way. Sometimes they do make it through though and the ladies will just stand there, giggle loudly with zero hitpoints, while the enemies keeping hewing chunk after chunk of hitpoints off them (which doesn't do anything when using last stand). After the fight they just brush the dirt off their clothes and share tall stories about their latest 'near death' experience. Edit: Ah, Camellia dropped the act when I came back to Drezen and told what her amulet was about. Nothing like some hot and steamy sex on top of a naked corpse to say "welcome home!"

I got a bit stuck... literally There was a trap and a lab under that old ruined house. Now exploring Areelu's lab, looking for a way to get myself and probably also the long term basement dwellers out of the trap. Poor suckers looks like could use a change of environment. One surprisingly hard fight (because they looked visually like demons i had fought before). It knocked the stuffing out of my party a bit, but did give some injuries I can't fix until leaving the trap. Of course Sosiel, the one guy with a raise dead spell, was the first one to die, followed by Rengill and one of the mounts (Rengill's raptor iirc). Good thing I had a smaill stockpile of both raise dead and resurrection scrolls in my pocket. Raise Sosiel and he could use Restoration and Raise Dead spells to get my party back on their feet. At least they are walking again without resorting to necromancy Cleared out the top level and the old part. Now going for the heart of the lab (I think that's what it's called). More fights like that without proper rest and I might send in a bunch of cripples to do the work of heroes

I'm sure Viconia with her whip and leather boots will make sure the guys don't get much sleep at night, so yeah, more rest more often

Is that the one where you find a very nice ring?

They have tried carpet bombing the Yemeni civilian population out of existence, but that didn't seem to work. Strange how they just keep to that strategy... Maybe the Russians have Saudi military instructors?

Not Japanese anime, but short animated stories for adults (no nudity and swearing is censored, but thematically probably not very SFW)

I could probably make a few guesses You might get a good and benevolent monarch, you might get stuck with an unmitigated disaster for life. My inner anarchist does not appreciate authority with no accountability.

Ah, Ronnie James Dio. Good stuff

I looked it up on some fandom page: Haer'Dalis was originally meant to be romancable in Baldur's Gate II, but the romance was cut because of time constraints. David Gaider has confirmed him as bi-/pansexual, and he is selectable to hire a male drow prostitute in the Underdark. [citation needed] Valygar was also meant to be romance option for females. Suna Seni is also involved in his romance. During development of Throne of Bhaal, David Gaider wanted to add this romance but couldn't due to time constraints.

I think (based on something I read 15 years ago on the internet), that Haer'Dalis (sp?) was supposed to be the second option for female characters but got left on the cutting board together with a lot of other content. I'm sure more diligent BG2 veterans can correct me here Anomen usually stays in my party until his personal quest is complete, never to be seen again. That being said, I did once play through the romance option, to satisfy my curiosity. That's probably why it stayed at "once" Edit: I didn't take that game into ToB, so no idea how it progressed there

Just a suggestion... play the game multiple times and try out both options. It does play a bit different during the middle part of the story. Also, no less than 3 romances for a guy character, there should be something to your liking there. Romances carry over to the dlc/expansion (Throne of Bhaal) iirc. Edit: As usual, the female gamers gets shafted badly by a single romance option, with a cringe worthy guy, who is as awful as any female romance option in any video game of that age (give or take ten years).

Split off from old jokes...

This thread has now joined the Norwegian Blue More fun this way (and remember humour is subjective)

Just to discover that said gesture is the commonly known intergalactic "middle finger", leading to humanity becoming rapidly extinct
