Spellhold was a trap, both within and without. Yoshimo was a traitor and Irenicus had already taken over the institute. Beatrix found Imoen, though she was but a husk of her former self due to the sorcerer's experiments. Captured, Beatrix was exposed to the same treatment and had her soul...

Beatrix chose the Shadow Thieves. They were villains, but at least they were people, unlike the vampires. Besides, this would give her a peek into their operation and Beatrix could then bring the scoundrels to justice after Imoen's rescue. The deal was sealed with gold and blood. More...

They found Valygar in the Umar Hills. Sure enough, the Cowled Wizards' request was not in good faith. The party still breached the Planar Sphere, but for Valygar's sake. The opposition was bizarre, the worst being the psychic halflings and the numerous golems. In the end, they deactivated the...

The Shield of Balduran description should read: Dear Gamer, We realize that putting a Beholder in front of a level 11 party is a stout challenge. Filling a dungeon with them is just vicious. Please accept this gift as an apology for our oversight. With deepest regret, The Developers Beatrix...

Beatrix had a plan. She had enough fire resistant gear to handle the dragon's breath. The dragon's other attacks would be a problem, but she had Ilbratha. Its mirror images would buy her some time. All she really needed was time. Some poison traps from Yoshimo and cloudkills from Nalia would...

Mazzy was summoned home to help her family. Beatrix decided to leave her there when the matter was resolved. Trademeet needed her more than she did. They picked up the druid, Cernd, and solved the mystery of the animals attacking the city. Both Jaheira and Minsc were happy with this course...

An evil force was murdering villagers and the ranger protecting the village vanished. The two paths converged in the dungeon of a Shade Lord. Azuredge carved through the shadows. Picking up a halfling paladin along the way, they crossed paths with a shadow dragon. It ignored them due to a found...

Beatrix began her quest to prove herself to the Order of the Radiant Heart. She saved a team of paladins at the Umar Hills, ousted an evil lord, and protected a noblewoman from slavers. This, she did with grace and without hesitation, but her final quest had given her pause. Slay the evil red...

I agree. the industry has reached a critical mass and is quite likely to collapse from here. But, some can survive if they just reduce the mass. It's situations like this that could potentially be a catalyst for a "retro reformation", but I also think such a notion is overly optimistic knowing...

Everyone has a past, not just Beatrix. For Nalia, Jaheira, and Jan, their pasts visited the party in the various forms of old rivals. However, the past belongs in the past and the party did their part to send it back to where it belonged. When all was settled, Nalia and Jaheira were ready to...

Wow. Hard pass for me. I also wouldn't let my kids play games at those prices.

I'm not sure if 100 words is enough to get into the character motivations for the choices, but perhaps it will get stronger with practice. It's actually kind of hard to do an in-character write up for this game (especially the BG2 portion). So much of the early content is just random side stuff...

Beatrix could not free Imoen, but she could free the dryads trapped by Irenicus. They took to Windspear Hills on Lord Jerdian's quest so they could return the dryad's acorns to a nearby grove. They were betrayed by Jeridan, tricked into murdering paladins under an illusion, and had to rescue the...

The Copper Coronet was tarnished with black lotus, courtesans and enslaved gladiators. Beatrix was the polish. She then tracked the fallen paladins for the Radiant Heart. Beatrix eschewed honor in this fight as Jan fired a wand of Cloudkill into the battle and Beatrix (the Cavalier) just ran...

The invaders at the keep turned out to be trolls and yuan-ti. They were under the employ of another, but it will forever remain a mystery. With the death of Nalia's father, the lord of the keep, it left Nalia with no good options, so she asked to stay on with Beatrix and company. Beatrix was not...

One moment, Beatrix was shuffling her Bhaalspawn brother off this mortal coil. The next moment, through outrageous fortune, she was suffering the arcane slings and arrows of a mad sorcerer. Fortunately, he had some slings and arrows of his own to deal with, which afforded Imoen the opportunity...

Interlude... Abnormal program termination in BG2. This run almost died before it started. Apparently, it did not like me importing a character. I googled it and came across a reddit post where this happened to me three years ago. Unfortunately, reddit didn't have any solutions back then. I...

Ok, so big brother is finally dead. Once and for all and forever, right? ;) I can finally start the second game. First, some admin. Jah ended the game with Spear++, Blunt Weapons++ and Missile Weapons++ and used a staff and sling exclusively. So, for BG2, I'll SK her over to Spear++, Staves++...

Well, we're getting there. I did a little meandering around the city. I made sure to hit up Ramazith to get the tome (which will boost Beatrix's Int to 11, letting her take an extra hit from a mindflayer). The party did pick up the Wisdom tome for the geas quest, but they did not steal it back...

I work from home. Outside is for chumps. :p
