It is exactly an early editions of Dungeon and Dragons thing. One of the things about early DnD is that the world that the game created was dominated by humans, and so player choices and restricitons were made to both reflect that fact, and also for game balance reasons. In the cool/interesting...

With my party in classic IWD, it is impossible, unless I'd grind Dabb to level 13 as a priest - I think it is doable with rest inrerruptions. But even then, Spiritual Hammer is a shitty weapon. That being said, I think slaying Belhifet in classic IWD is possible, as long as you have...

Let's wrap up this playthrough! The preparation to fight Poquelin went in a very similart fashion to Malavon: potions of strength, speed etc, mixed with some support magic from Dabb and Lim. Enchaned Weapon was still in use, since I am not sure if in his human form, Poquelin is immune to normal...

The Allmighty Trio and the Lower Dorn's Deep I had a very "smart" and devious plan on how to tackle the beginning of the Lower Dorn's Deep. I wanted to secure the tower, and then rush to liberate the priests deeper in the palace. This way, I could have swift access to safe rest place, easy...

The Allmighty Trio and the Wyrm's Tooth Let's start from the good things about this place: it is pretty cool (no pun intended) vibe/lore wise. The frozen museum, aside from the really neat visuals, has interesting lore tied to a dwarven god and the architect who insisted on building the...

I concur

No, Hina had high quality short sword before, and Dabb is using high quiality morningstar Right, though it does not apply to drows, due to their magic resistance

So, Larrel teleported all of Allmighty Trio to near the entrance of the Dorn's Deep.... Only for the party to head back to Kuldahar right away. Well, visiting the area unlocks chapter 4, and with that, Orrick's arcane scroll stock increases. He also received Mythral theory and rewarded the party...

I've got to say that by the Severed Hand, I started to quesiton the point of the run. Why? Because my party not wearing any magical items was not such a limiting factor as I have anticipated. I thought that vast majority of enemies in the Hand will be immune to non-magical weapons, and that lack...

According to this way of reasoning, BG3 isn't canon, especially since: 1) Khalid's gift implies SoD events happened in BG3 continuity, 2) BG3 screwed over story of original games to the extent SoD could only dreamed of (BG3 basically made everything pointless). But maybe that's a conversation...

As a local BG3 disliker, I'd like to say that this mod looks awesome. I initially wondered why gaming news site are writing about a mod release, and now I know.

Mine would be: 1. Crucial to the story of Jon Irenicus in Shadows of Amn, the curse cast by Seldarine on him and his sister is often considered by community of fans as unfair, contradictory/backwards punishment and questionable judgement, making both Ellessime and elven pantheon look...

Hah, nice progress and a good call to go back to Kuldahar before progressing further. Getting through that part of the game recently myself, I noticed that reward for rescuing Conlan's son is quite thoughtful - I imagine a situation in which a potential player encounters an incoming roadblock...

Yuan-ti elites are tough. The ones with bows are even tougher. And the High Archer was a nightmare, even with Dabb's effective -6 AC versus missile attacks! Even with Lim, who turned into a beetle, to help tank some damage (after she's done with some spells, of course). The battle in the...

Don't fret, in my recent experience, the Dragon's Eye isn't as bad as I though it would be (if you don't count bombardier beetles). One the first level, lizard men aren't as much of a threat as verbeegs in close combat, which is a relief. That being said, you'd better watch out for shamans, they...
