Enoch Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I think it's the most fun level in the game. Can't remember why, but likely because of fireballs. ITS ALL ABOUT FIREBALLS! Gods I had so much fun with it! Well, if it's all about fireballs, then I will have to go back and rest after each major fight. My Mage only has 2 3rd-level spell slots (and one of those is typically a Haste). Actually, I suspect that the Web/Entangle is more important for surviving those fights. The Wights come in big numbers, and the level doesn't offer any good choke-points where your front-liners can fight them 2 or 3 at a time. First and foremost, you need to slow the rush. Doing damage is secondary.
Oner Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Frankly, after the fireball I just sent in the hasted(?) paladin to clean up the rest. The small fry couldn't even scratch him.

Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!

Doing damage is secondary. Web, entangle or similar to keep them in place while you pile a stack of druid spells on them. They are surprisingly offensive in IWD. The thorny one last for quite a while and what's its name the spell that sends spiky bits out of the ground (meh, don't remember their namew anymore, been a few years since my last playthrough) and my favourite against cramped/immobile enemies, La Ola (that portable tsunami spell)! “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

HoonDing Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 There were some Knights of Solamnia in BG2, in the Planar Sphere... you could even send them back to Krynn in the Mage stronghold quest. That was a nice touch from BioWare... not to mention Jan Jansen making a reference to Spelljammer at least once. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

If you murder them you get some plate armour and a +1 halberd IIRC, which you can then sell to buy more phat lewt. Yes, I'm neutral evil and proud.
mkreku Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I miss Journal Entry DRM.... I played this game to death on my Commodore 64. It came on 8 floppy discs so I'm not even kidding. I think it's still loading in my parents basement. It will be finished 20 years after my death. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

LadyCrimson Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Haha, that's happened to me a few times. And to some of the companions.

Bendu Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Dark side, **** yeah. Love that game. Dunno how they went from that to Force Unleashed. The Force Unleashed > Jedi Academy. I would even put TFU2 above Jedi Academy.
Bendu Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Fire! Really love the full scale battles. FIRE! (Yeah, I'm shouting that a lot while playing. )

Hassat Hunter Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 I almost forgot how much I love the thrill of having to actually sneak and lay still in order to aim and shoot to kill, instead of making insta-kills from long distances, ruining the challenge and feel. And people hate AP for it? Wonder how HR will do in that regard... ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

Hurlshort Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Didn't you hate that game a day ago? I bought it last night, I figured $5 was a good price. I made quite a few mistakes, but I finally figured out how to make a house.

I made quite a few mistakes, but I finally figured out how to make a house. Yeah. Stupid game made me feel stupid. But then I gave it another chance and now I feel clever again. How do you build a house? I built a wooden box with a door. That's it. I wish there was a way to see the 'recipes' for what you can do in the game. So far I've only managed to make the simplest of things. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
