This should be an interesting challenge: The sheer scope of the map is promising, having played all the Infinity Engine games and dabbled in one or two mods. Good luck.

Why do you think Irenicus had to kill him? He's a Dreadnought, and no power on faerun would have kept him from Jaheira or CHARNAME whilst he was alive.

Sadly, Irenicus found the loophole in that statement.

The original games are old, and there's already Let's Plays all the way until Throne of Bhaal. I'm trying to focus on and emphasize the number of scope of the mods, and how they add to, differ from, and perhaps subtract from the original game. So I'm totally fine with people referencing everything in the original game without spoilers. Besides, there are so many changes that what people think are spoilers may not be.

I'm pretty amused by that spider. Is an astral phase spider an upgraded version of the regular phase spider? And if so, who the gently caress thought that was a good idea?

This is about the last thing a poster on Something Awful is going to forgive anyone for. :v:

+1 Minsc
+1 Shar-Teel

+1 Hmm. I'm inclined to go for Dynaheir over Edwin because her spells have been more useful. Dynaheir unless Edwin steps his game up and fills his spellbook.

Wait, so nobody cares about guessing who's who in this image?



In the style of Syvishtara's thoughts:

1. I had to pay you to join me, and that after you had me running errands!

2. You sneaky little singer, think you have a way with the ladies! You have no way with me, no way! I was a man once...

3. Will you or won't you, son of the hare?

4. You have thorns, don't you? EVERY one of you has thorns! But you'll soon have claws, and wings, and teeth, too, won't you? WON'T YOU?!

5. Such a chipper librarian! my boon companion from Candlekeep. Well, my other boon companion. She's not a dog or a god or a thief or a feiht.

6. Your name, I can't stop saying it, you strange one from the north...

7. I See you... But I CAN'T see you! It's enough to make me berserk! Or you berserk. You berserk, Logan?

8-13. It's my strike team! We're going to strike at everyone, for revenge! Nothing can stop us! Muhuhahahaaaaa!

11: It's Me! But I'm Me. That can't be Me! Are there two Mes? Two Mes is too many. I hope I don't start seeing doubles of everyone I've ever known or loved, that would be maddening. saddening. gladdening?

14. Morning, lord.

15: Is it an effeminate man or a manly woman? A powerful, powerful caster in a dress. Not as powerful as Me, though. THE WEAVE LOVES ME MORE! DO YOU HEAR, THAYVIAN?!

16: A humble merchant with a deadly axe. A good man in a fight. Or a bad man overall? Both? Too short to be a man, anyway.

17: So little pleasantness! Lots of strength and grace, though.

18: You're one of THEM, but you don't like spiders. Strange.

19: You think you should be in control, but I'M in control! Daddy said so and you were his friend!

20: Coward! Friend to my foster father but a coward nonetheless! Away from me lest I catch it!

21: You know all, you see all, you rule all. Yes. Now follow me like a good little minion.

22:Aaagh! Silke's Lackey! Lacke? You ran off! You came back?

23: You're dead! I SAW you DIE! I threw you off a cliff! Yet you're alive? backstabber!

24: Oh. OH! I get it now! You like to do things with the dead, don't you? Standing next to your friend, THAT's why!

25: Madman! You and that creature, the tiny giant space thing on a planet. That way isn't safe. pafe. mafe.

26:I rescued you from a pit! or did I make you fight in one? So confusing...

Sure, that sounds fair. And within Syvishtara's character too. S/he would definitely want to chance summoning an air or earth elemental against bandits even though she should not really be able to. In fact I may just start Nahaling elementals until I get one, and drat the consequences.
