True, true. I was frightened by the inordinate amounts of various ingredients, and as a result collect alchemy things only to pretty up my stronghold. Now Tel Uvirith has the Corridor of Glowing Magical Scrolls. :-

 

Also interesting is the fact that if you use right-click and access potions through the inventory, you can down an unlimited number of them in a fraction of a second, the visual effect of which is akin to every flashy explosion in Star Wars combined into a single, suddenly almighty being. :o

I noticed this also. I have magic items to do most useful things, hence no potions. However, I do always drink any I find. No matter what the circumstances.

 

 

As an aside, almost, constant effect endurance restoring pantaloons are the most useful thing in the entire world. You can run and fight constantly without ever getting tired.

If you're playing a mage, the only potions you'll need are Restore Magicka and Levitate (for those times you're caught offguard and can't cast it without being smacked around)

I didn't get bothered that much by all the walking, especially now I have my Traq'ee bottoms. I DID have to bring a book to the desk, but I got to catch up on some reading. Besides there was always the chance you'd run into something cool.

 

I do object to such a huge missed opportunity, and to them not having anything substantive to reward me when I got the the locations. Most of them I just had to turn up and they were on side. Meaning the only test involved was being able to withstand tedium!

This is the general consensus, yes.

I think I would play it again. But not for a while. And I'm going to cheat and use foreknowledge of the travel network. Probably go completely the other way and be a monk or something. Not having any armour or weapons should be amusing.

 

Incidentally, a great way to boost your armour skill is to find a mage who is only fighting with his fists and just stand around while he batters you.

No dice, Meta.

 

Incidentally, I just downloaded the Lilarcor mod. He was the talking sword from BG2. I won't spoil the surprise, but it is a lot better than you'd expect.

 

I have begun fiddling with the mod engine. No idea how to get it to work yet.

This is the sort of thing that entertains me, though. Understanding the mechanics of the underlying game, and finding a way to beat it. (My own continual Kobe Oshimaru, if you will ...)

It wants to download a (very big) DivX-compressed movie file (30+MB), which is the fifteen minute journey of a brand n00bi3 killing Dagoth'Ur. Without cheating. So you will have to allow pop-ups / download content (open in a new window might work better).

I can't get it to work either, and I'd quite like to see it. I don't think size is the issue - could you provide a direct link to the movie file, so I could right-click and save it?

Short version of the movie: The guy spends about ten of the fifteen minutes mixing potions. Since the strength of your potions ia partially determined by your Intelligence stat, and it's possible to make potions of boost intelligence, and you can purchase the ingredients for that potion in bulk, you can set up a feedback loop of boosted intelligence up to the point that your potions become essentially permanent and massively powerful. So after maxing intelligence this guy makes a few other permanent potions: restore fatigue and life, probably boost strength, etc. Then he goes and

- and from there you know how to beat the game.

 

Other fun ways to abuse alchemy: Almost any potion that can be made with cheap ingredients will sell for much more than its cost, so alchemy is one of the easy infinite money sources in MW.

Out of interest, and out of having nothing to add to the thread; why the name 'Fishboot'?

You can do better than that, oh lord Baley.
