Six tips how to stay longer in Halruaa Options

[Vlad]

1. Don't steal much and don't confront mages.
2. Don't wander in senior staff quarters.
3. Try to postpone necromancer's quest as longer as possible.
4. Try looking for Brial's appartment as later as possible when you are sure that almost all quests are done.
5. The same is about killing Garron.
6. Don't equip found weapons!

Finding Brial's letter, stealing Kalinor's body, and confronting Garron will equally start the time trigger which is exactly ONE_DAY, then you'll be caught and revealed.

Hi Vlad,
Congratulations on the new release, I am looking forward to trying NEJ again!
It has always been my favourite mod.
One question though... have always found the Halruaa section quite challenging...(I think usually because I often play a multiclass Mage, and maybe he doesn't hit high enough level...?)
So, while I don't want you to give too much away (you never do ...maybe you could give me a few hints?
1/ For the various Mage school quests, is it ok to ask what level of spells is required? (See, you don't have to tell me which spells, just what level I need..)

2/ Are there multiple ways to succeed at the mage school quests, or do I need very specific spells? (again, you don't need to tell me which spells!).

3/ If there are multiple ways to succeed at a mage school quest, do all the ways involve using spells of the correct school? Or could I use spells from other schools potentially? Or even not use magic?...

I hope these 'hint' questions don't give too much away. If you feel I am asking too much, then of course you can ignore my request for guidance..!

Anyways thanks for your wonderfully challenging (and occasionally frustrating-but in a good way!) mod.
