	Bg2 Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

My copy of Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn, that I purchased off of ebay, has just arrived today!

The anticipation is almost unbearable. Half-way through the installation, but I won't be able to play until later this evening.

Anyway, I look forward to living the life of a hermit for the next weeks and months.

Congratulations on the wisdom of your purchase!

I still haven't finished the first one though, and then NWN came along to hog my Sunday gaming time. I'll get back to it though!

	Suffering from ads?

Upon first playing it, I was somewhat turned off, and found Diablo 2 to be a better game IMO. However, it has grown on me, and although I have not had much experience with D&D rules, I know the basics and don't think that will be as much a problem as some told me it would be,

It grew on me as well. First time I played it, I didn't care for it too much (first experience with infinity games- I didn't play Bg1, or IWD1 at the time)

It definately gets better when you get out of Irenicus' dungeon. Although the dungeon doesn't bother me too much, I never download the mod that skips the dungeon. What fun is that? My point is the game gets better when you get into the promenade and slums.

	Got spare money?

Oh, I remember. Trudging through Jon's dungeon, thinking "This is IT? Kind of a letdown after BG1." Then you get out and your jaw drops at all the stuff around.

Don't worry, I still haven't gotten out of the dungeon and I've owned the game for 2 years (at least)...

Doesn't take that long to get out....

	Tired of ads?

especially if you neglect the side quest and various treasures.

I'm greedy, and I try to collect all the treasures . Including standard weapons. I can't carry everything, I usually have to sacrifice things like short swords and such. But I try to carry as much as possible because money is in short supply in the beginning.

I still play the dungeon because I like the cut scenes. All of Irenicus' lines are so cool. One of the best bad guys ever.

I used to carry out as much as I possible could, usually left behind axes or some cheap weapon.

Good game I haven't played it in a while. I was going through a large dungeon

spoiler(highlight to read): Underdark, I hate Drows. I don't want to talk to them I want to terminate them It's a real pain especially after doing the asylum. I want to get back to the city.

and got really bored so Im taking a vacation from it for a while.

I definitly made some mistakes with my party selection. I wonder if I'll switch it up when I get out of the dungeon

	Put an end to popups!

the drow city is an annoying part of the game. If you screw it up you can't... well I won't spoil it. But it kind of messes up the game. I got stuck at one point and had to refer to a walkthrough. It seems like there should be more alternatives for that area. mind flayer city is pretty cool though. One of the more challenging areas of the game- at least until you figure out some good strategy. The beholder caves can be challenging as well when you battle those elders. Sometimes I"m forced to reload if they insta-perma-kill me.

Yeah I did enjoy the Mindflayer dungeon. The asylum so far has been my favorite dungeon. It's just been too many dungeons in a row.

Well I wasn't going to rub it in but I've been playing on Folderol. Yeah, the place you want to play so very badly. But can't. Because you have no real internet connection.

But I am building for Folderol at the moment - I just can't actually PLAY it and I have to upload stuff overnight. Ah, give it time. Hope you like all the crazy new stuff

But : Baldur's Gate 2 and why it is possibly even better than SMAC, discuss.

I've never played SMAC so automatically BG2 > smac

The whole comparison is nonsensical, BG2 is a brilliant AD&D based roleplaying game, SMAC is the only worthy successor to Civ2 and one of the greatest TBS games ever. Apples and oranges

I got out of the dungeon, but did so without finishing the quests involving the Genie and Dryads.

I didn't realize I was exiting it until it was too late. Can I go back?

DON'T try to do every quest on one run through and for the love of god DON'T use a walkthrough. Shout out here if you get stuck, but don't ruin the game.

That first run through BG2 is a magical experience, and it can never be done twice. I envy you that fresh first time.

I never use walkthroughs.

My main concern was the genie, since I was supposed to get an item that looked useful.

I would reload to do the Genie quest if you have a save. I've yet to finish the Dryad quest. Finished the dungeon part tho.
