I had the Baldur's Gate 2 strategy guide (maybe it was just for BG2:ToB but still, same point) from Prima and it had a full list of spells+analysis of each spell at the end

"Death Spell" says in its in-game description that it instantly kills anything below level 6 without a saving throw, in a wide area. It automatically wins a surprisingly huge number of encounters even lategame, including one of the ones that the guide described as the hardest in the game (that one spot in ToB where you get swarmed by like 100+ regular soldiers and guardsmen). Prima described the spell as "ineffective against bosses" and basically useless

it had a lot of other minor inaccuracies that i didnt care about too, but ive always found that one kind of funny

+ LEVEL UP! I can't stress this enough, besides equipment, levels are the most
important thing.

this is esp. funny because apart from sending back the wrong squaddie with the collector base rescuees it's not difficult at all to know who to assign to each task

i guess some players might unknowingly gently caress up earlier by not getting all the ship upgrades but tbh there's no good reason not to get them sooooo

The game even tells you who to put in each role... tech person to do tech, psionic power to do psionic... I guess it doesnt explicitly say "put a good tactical warrior leading the defense role" or whatever but that should have been obvious too

DSimpson wrote some pretty awesome gamefaqs guides. I remember having an ff7 guide with a ton of speculation about how you might revive aerith

Oh poo poo yeah. i remember that guy's name because his guide for BG2 was so in-depth
