Well, I finished up Baldur's Gate 2 last night
October 30, 2000 by Adam in Adam's Games
 Well, I finished up Baldur's Gate 2 last night. I didn't do absolutely everything in the game, but I did quite a bit. The last bit of the story was interesting - reminded me a bit of Planescape in it's general atmosphere. It went really fast once I jumped back on the main story bandwagon. An excellent game all around.
I'm poking around for the next game. I'm thinking I'll move away from the 3rd person RPGs and back into a first person shooter. No One Lives Forever looks pretty good. The demo has nice graphics and I'm hearing good things about the game itself. I may need to pick it up and take it for a spin.

Killed my first dragon in Baldur's Gate 2
October 26, 2000 by Adam in Adam's Games
 Killed my first dragon in Baldur's Gate 2. It was phenomenally difficult, taking quite a few tries after my entire party was killed in a few seconds. It took a combination of sneakiness, planning, and creating vulnerabilities where there were none before. The loot we picked up from the exchange was quite good, though I'll need a Paladin in my party to truly take advantage of one item.

 One of the fun things about Baldur's Gate 2 is the inclusion of dragons. Just for perspective, here's one in the game (there are several, each unique). My main character is surrounded by the glowing protective circle - yes, he's really that small. We finally made it to the surface after seeming weeks in the Underdark. I finally forged several of the "ultimate" weapons and could probably end the game quickly if I chose to. There are still a lot of quests to be done. I'll probably do some of those before continuing down the main path again.

Stupid door
October 19, 2000 by Adam in Adam's Games
 Stupid door. Well, another moment of frustration then triumph at BG2. A door stood in my way. I had figured out one way to open up, but it basically meant giving in to the dark side. Alternatively, I could get a "powerful brain". I knew where to get some of those - the Illithids could be captured using these mind-control collars. Unfortunately, there was a limited supply and I had used too many on frivilous matters (combat). While all seemed to be dispair, I decided to try a Domination spell. The good news - it worked like a charm and I got the door open.

 I had a funny moment in Baldur's Gate 2 today. I ran into these strange fish creatures, who started speaking in their own weird tongue. After we said something like "please, we just want to move through your territory", they attacked. What was odd is that one of them said this plainly English phrase during the heated battle that ensued.

Well, Baldur's Gate 2 continues to occupy my time

 Well, Baldur's Gate 2 continues to occupy my time. My party rescued Imoen from the clutches of the evil wizard. Unfortunately, both our souls were removed in the process, and we're slowly dying. Actually, it's not so much dying as transforming into a hideous beast (as I'm the son of an evil god, after all). Needless to say, it's a bit of a motivator, and our brave party is heading to the Underdark to go after him.
