That's pretty fucking cool. Wonder if the fighter was stong enough to carry 5 bodies back to get raised . . .


Yeah, I tried to play the expansions after beating IWD proper. The game resurrected my whole party and put it in Lonelywood. But, since your guys drop all of their shit when they die, none of my characters except the fighter had any items. It also took some of my ungodly gold horde, and the store in Lonelywood is pretty pathetic. I tried to equip them from it, but the first Barbarian fight was too tough.

For my part, I don't remember having poison or acid weapons and the dude died maybe 15 rounds after I last hit him. The one kinda cool aspect of that otherwise absurd fight was it was my first time meeting the big baddy. PWN3D.

I remember trying to kill that Death Knight (aka Demon Knight) at the bottom of Durlag's Tower. I pooled all my magic shit and managed to get Adjantis down to a -10 AC (which surprised the hell out of me). His job was to not die while standing toe to toe with that fucker. Considering this guy was using Power Word Kill on 6th level guys, that was a pretty tall order. Everyone else invisibly took up positions around him and let loose with hideously overpowered arrows. And of course I didn't look at the broken mirror, I can't believe anyone could survive that. BUT THINK OF THE EXPERIENCE! Whatever. Anyway, Death Knight croaks, I win, no losses. That was the fifth try, though. Ah, good times.

I never got to the botom of the Watcher's Keep. Was that any good? I still have my old save games, maybe I'll relaod BG2 and take a look.


Yeah, it is, actually. Not as tough as Durlag's - since your cheese options are reduced when you're lower level like you were for it. But it's still fun, you can play it after Chapter 5 in BG2, or in Chapter 2 if you've done all the sidequests. Or from ToB, but it will be pretty easy by then.
