How’s you play through going?

haha.

All I’ll say is ‘protection from petrification’…

I love that!

Nice - cannon party. ☺️

I don’t blame you for ditching Garrick, regular bards in BG are meh (unlike IWD where I think they’re great!).

There is a plethora of potential companions - I’m deliberately trying ones this time I’ve not tried before (with the exception of Minsc because… well Minsc). Mine is Blade - Ajantis - Misnc - Yesslick - Alora - Neera (who also summoned a demon on me once but thankfully I was high enough level to kill it).

The ‘Garden’ I mention is the area known as Mutamin’s Garden… lots of XP but big risk of instant death if you aren’t prepared (I can give a spoiler if you like).

She sounds awesome. I’ve not played as a Kensai. Who have you got backing her up party wise at the moment (other than Minsc)?

Have you been to the ‘Garden’ lots of Xp there if you’re prepared…

My Blade and his party have just entered the lower levels of Durlag’s Tower - think I’m high enough level to get through it without it being a complete nightmare.

Oooph no arcane at all!?! That sounds brutal for the loss of crowd control! Horror and sleep have saved my bacon more times than I’d like to count!

I’m sure it’s possible but I’ll not envy you trying!

Battle axe and a bastard sword sounds like a quick way to turn people into mincemeat haha.

She’s a pain if she gets those hold persons off and to stick. I’ve found two good ways to deal with her - 1. Have yourself a cleric in the party before you deal with her, they can fire off command and put her down quicker than she can cast hold. 2. Stick an oil of speed on someone with a fast weapon to try and get the interrupt (even better if you can use a potion of invisibility on Monty or Imoen and then oil of speed to get a backstab in as well). think in this play I used offensive spin on my blade to get the haste effect and interrupt her casting, if I remember correctly.

I never played them back in the day, picked them (BGEE, BG2EE, IWD and Planescape Torment) up for iPad during Covid lockdown as I spotted them and they were on sale.

Those are some pretty potent stats you rolled there!

What pips did you go for?

Might need to leave a saucer of milk out tonight…

Enjoyed that way more than I thought I would.

That’s one hell of a succubus! We’re all doomed 😂

“A new hand has touched the beacon!”

Yep! I’ve never understood those people that just wander round somewhere filming it all on their phone - you might as well just stay home and watch a video tour of the place online.

Yep, the thousands of people and the 3 inches of bullet-proof glass…

Amusingly when I went to see it (might still be the case I don’t know), if you wandered out of the room she’s in you could basically stand with your nose on his John the Baptist but almost no one was stood there looking at it.

It was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be too! The exact opposite of the Mona Lisa which was so much smaller than I expected for some reason (still not sure why I expected it to be large given it’s a portrait…).

Just started exploring the Fediverse (Mastodon first as an exile from the ‘bird that’s no longer a bird’ app and thought I’d have a look at Lemmy too. So far I must say I’m really enjoying them both!

It’s a stunning painting. Had the privilege to stand in front of it and it’s truly breathtaking.

Haha I really like that as a character concept! I can imagine its absolutely solid to play in BG though!

For me it has to be the legend that is Jim Cummins, who voices Minsc and soooo many other things/people - including Winnie the Pooh!
