My experiences with IA 5.0, Continue Shadan's topics with similar name Options

[Ryel ril Ers]

When Shadan started to play with IA 4.2, he opened a topic for write his experiences. I want to continue this with the v 5.0. So everybody who want to share his/her experiences could write it in this place and don't opened hundreds of topics wich tells somebody walkthrough. I want to gather lots of information in one place. (Sikret's walkthrough is too good so i don't want write to that place), and the starter player see which tactics, parties and quest orders works, and how use his/her money.

I ask everybody who write in this topic:
-Use spoilers tag for the tactics
-Don't write down serious spoilers
-Don't write down statistics (like xy has 69% fire resist) and immunities. (except the weapon enchantment and spell level immunities)

I'm tired of this thread, Ryel! I explained my reasons clearly but you don't want to see them: Stealing the key from Conster is not an acceptable solution of the quest because the stealable key is a vanilla game bug. The key should not be stealable in the first place and I have already fixed the bug for the next version of the mod. You can't steal an item which is not stealable; if you did steal it in your game, it was nothing but exploiting a vanilla game bug. I hope it's clear now.

How your characters know there is a rakhasha before them so the mage strangely memorize some prot from energy and prebuffed the whole party? How know your mage that the rakhasha that he/she see first time will cast horrid wilting? You know it but your characters don't, this is the hardest thing in the roleplaying.
My party don't know what will before them i only use long lasting buffs when i enter a dungeon, like haste and spirit armor, and stoneskin. I only use my short buffs in the battle,

According to your own report, the reason for which you didn't use the spell was that you didn't have it.

Moreover, if you confine yourself to only using the sort of buffs which have long durations, your party won't survive for long; I can guarantee that. And I'm sure that you have not been doing this even do far. Every time you cast Death Ward, Chaotic Commands or Improved Haste before a battle, you are acting against what you said, because all of these spells (and more others) have shorter durations than Protection from Magic Energy.

Installing the multiple stronghold has made the game much more challenging for me. One example is the battle with improved Faldorn in IA which is extremely more difficult when multiple strongholds is installed. Other examples are other improved battles in other strongholds. How do you compare this with stealing a key which should have been unstealable in the first place and the fact that it's stealable in the vanilla game is nothing but a bug?

I won't read this thread any longer as soon as it is moved to the other forum; it's really a waste of time.
