I like voiced characters. Even in old-school RPGs, it's probably the voices that played a big part in why I've fallen in love with those games. Male2 and Male3 in BG2. HoW voice sets in IWD for both genders. Even the selections lines. My affection for Jaheira started with her voice and her...

I would disagree. 50 or 70, or even 80, if enemies target your wizard at that stage of the game and you don't have protections such as Mirror Image and Blur, you're dead anyway. The benefits of the cloak vastly outweigh the HP penalty in terms of the caster level bonus. However, if the cloak...

Well, I preferred these spells: Blur Blindness (my usual picks for the wizard/sorc were Conjuration, then Necromancy focus) I was convinced about neither Burning Arc nor Scorching Ray, they are better on someone with sneak attacks like Octavia and/or someone with the Evocation focus Mirror Image...

For an adventuring party, I think, one needs the following: you can call each of them your Nakama they share the same beliefs you do they have a good sense of humour "I swear, travelling with you is never dull". Jaheira from Baldur's Gate II. She's the character I can't drop from BG parties...

Welcome, BelgarathMTH! It's a big honour to see people who have started establishing these connections on the old BioWare forums coming here! Those drinks are safe unless you roll a natural 1🎲.

Well, I guess it depends on your school specialization. But I've played P:K with conjurers, so Grease is an absolute no-brainer for me. That spell is very effective and continues to stay helpful until the very end of the game. Agree about Reduce Person and Enlarge Person.

You're correct in your videos: Dragon Age: Origins has aged nicely and plays and feels just fine in 2021.

Welcome, DM Wyvern! We'd had our resident dragon here, now a wyvern entered the tavern🐉 What would you want to order? I will tell you by a great secret, be careful with potions one myconid would attempt to sell you here.

If you're looking for a good game to play (and some commentary from really good gaming journalists), look at the list of PC Gamer's Top 100 games. Yay, Planescape: Torment is still on that list (#33). And of course, I, just like all of you, see games in that list that couldn't grab me for one...

Ok, replayability. Actually, until recently, I used to think all games were quite replayable. That was partially due to the fact I hadn't played that many games. I've grown up with games like Diablo 2 and Baldur's Gate 2, playing these games over and over for more than 10 years. I would say...

I hope Vendriil will finish the main storyline. Because I too, just like Cahir, haven't actually seen the end of it. Guild quests are so great, though, same with the DLC content.

25 HPs for a lvl 6 Xan, not bad at all.

How do you build the companions? Do you use mods to respec them? Do you Multi-Class them? And yeah, Enlarge Person and spamming Demoralize is actually not useless. ;) But that can discourage players from playing Enchanters (especially if they don't know what to expect in the mid-, late-game).

Hehehe, I might get to a BG playthrough once I finish with the Elder Scrolls games, which are really long and detailed. So far, I've been having a blast with role-playing there. As for the touch spell + an off-hand weapon, it's easy. On a F/M, my default weapon (at the start of BG1) is a...

Great videos, @alice_ashpool! Hope Mivsan will join these boards one day. I haven't watched them fully, but picking an Enchanter for Unfair was an interesting idea. Also, I like the fact you still commit mistakes from time to time, eg. moving with a ranged weapon equipped close to an enemy and...
