Hello all. I started with IA3 and left it due to work commitments. Hopefully i'll be able to finish IA4.1 this time round. Before I start, I'll explain my choice of protagonist, planned party etc etc. Hopefully this will be of some help to all players.
Choice of protagonist : Blade with maxed str/dex/int, 16 con, 3 wis, 15 cha. Why: It was a tough choice between a f/m as recommanded by thetruth, and my own previous experiences with the blade. However, the blade finally wins out as: 1. With offensive spin and tensers, the Blade's thaco is equivalent (give or take minus 1) to the f/m. 2. With un-nerfed tables (recommanded component of IA), blade gets lvl 7 spells 3. By soloing the un-modded parts of the game, a blade can reach lvl 12-13. Which means when I pick up my party, they will all be at a higher level, as opposed to being xp hogs 4. I hate haer delis 5. I have a blade from BG1 tutu With my choice of protagonist made, I know I will miss out on the expanded mage/ranger quest. maybe next time. Choice of NPCs 1.A multiplayer created R/C kicked out till i reach desired level to recruit NPCs. 2. Nalia, to be replaced by Imoen 3. Minsc SK'd to berserker 4. Keldorn I'll post again once I get underway. Regards This post has been edited by Mongerman: Apr 23 2007, 01:56 PM |

Have already done so. Sikret, I'm looking through the tactical challenges walkthrough, and I've noticed that I didnt encounter anything new at cromwell. Is there a certain trigger I missed? I've completed the last malvena quest (good path) and kept the dude alive.
Also, I'm beginning to think a blade is much more viable then earlier suggested, mainly because of the sheer number of PFMW scrolls. And Imoen (SK'ed to blade) has turned the tide of many battles either by being completely untouchable (PFMW + SI:Abjuration + spell shield etc) or by spamming time trap before fights and clearing out the fighters. She single handedly killed the beholder, vampire and fighter in the twisted rune, as well as lord roenall. This post has been edited by Mongerman: May 15 2007, 02:32 PM |
