I've just completed my maiden run-through of IA 4.1 (easter break; lots of free time), and I wanted to offer a heart-felt thanks to sikret and co for producing such an outstanding mod. When I first found the site, I did rub my eyes in disbelief; that people would still put so much legitimate effort in making new content for a 6 year old game shocked me, but I'm glad you do. It's also nice to see a genuine tactical challenge over vanilla BG 2 and other so-called difficulty-enchancing mods, because lets face it, it's easy to make a battle that's impossible, it's quite another matter to make a battle that you only think is impossible for the first few goes and then you realise, hey, it's just very very difficult. Personally I think IA treads this line well with stuff like epic divine encounter and imp yaga shura.

As for my favourite parts, well I like the new scripting. It's nice to see intelligent spell use and along with that liches that don't immediately cast time stop when you engage them. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that, in addition to the new features, some of the previous battles had been retooled (enjoyed the new sewer party a lot). On the downside: golems. I must of killed at least....200 golems, during the course of the mod, and every fight seemed to have golems added. Felt like a freaking country golem jamberoo. Imo, there could be more variation.

So, anyway, to sikret, and all the lost hair that I forcefully tugged out of my scalp in frustration. Keep up the good work, sir.

(Oh yeah, because I won't be picking up the BG 2 reins again for a while, to sate my curiosity, where is the lord of hordes encounter? I managed to miss it completely. And who is limak and why do you take his brain? smile.gif).

Just curious, leonidas!

Did you have Pasha Mahmoud at your side during the Epic Divine Encounter?

Cheating is not confined to using external software or the console commands. Abusing the flaws and limitations of the game engine to do something that a human Dungeon Master would not accept or allow is cheating.

Aye, and he was my favourite character of IA 4.1v, probably because he managed to kill 5 horrid rakshasas by himself, but certainly it was nice to have an event that could be influenced by a decision made earlier in the game.
