    [​IMG] I supose it will be fun to describe some hilarious actions, like the one I did myself: in the Planar Prison, I cast a Horror against a group of Humber Hulks, and afected most of them. After that, I cast a Dispel Magic on Minsc, who was stunned in the middle of the group, releasing the beasts ... :eek

    As I killed the chickens in Umar hills, the woman starts to attack me. Usually I don´t attack back, and I didn´t this time either, since people would get angry with me.
    But thanks to crossbow-pupin´ Jan, that happened anyway...

    [​IMG] At the first time I tried the out the spell: symbol stun I let Viconia cast this on the drow war party which was engaging in battle with Minsc, my paladin and Jaheira. After casting the spell, I realized with horror, that the damn spell made all my party members to be stunned and all the drow has evaded the effect with there MR. All I could do was to watch how the drow kills everyone.
    Hrrrr...I never used any symbol spell ever!

    Me being smart thought I would force attack the guard in the copper coronet just outside of the cells with a fireball, and cloudkill, unfortunately the prisoners didn't like it to much and all hostiled me, and having not saved it for a lil while I had to go through a nice bit of stuff to get back to that point. and there are many more stories of me and my infinite stupidity, as I'm sure we all have. next time I will tell you of my adventures with the [ctrl]-[y] cheat
     
  6. don't laugh at me but here is my story which takes place in the city of coins Atkathla more precise waukeens promenade..

    Just busting out of Irenicus' dungeon I tried to steal from a bloke called Hes. Friendly ordinary type so it should be a walk in the park but he turned hostile. I tried cast charm on him only to find some cowled type from industrial light and magic pop out of a blue wheel. I didn't heed his warning as I just saw how easy Irenicus blasted 4-5 of his type away in a few rounds.

    Anyway back to good old Hes. To minimize the potential danger of him sreaming to everyone, I tried to cast deafness on the guy at the Spellstore next to him. Noone popped up. Heh! emty threaths from that old cowled hag. I tought and moved on. We moved on to the urban area, here I tried casting friends before talking to a shopkeeper near Jansen's estate. Baaad move. Bad move.An old familiar summoned and Industrial light and magic proved to be more magic than light. it got a bit messy with Minsc,Jaheira and I living the rest of our pity and puny lifes in agonizing pain. All I wanted was a little discount man.

    don't feel bad, that was your 1st time playing, right? this was on my 4th or 5th char that I screwed up. I decided to make another class kit cause I found the current ones I made still to restrictive, well I saw the spell wing buffet, I went in tweeked it a bit added it to a new class kit to be applied at lvl 13. well many hours of playing later I reach lvl 13, and recieve wing buffet, problem I put it in as an apply and not gain spell, and I was in a nice deep dungeon and hadn't saved it. If it it had been a normal wing buffet I would have ben fine, but remember my tweeking. I killed myself by leveling up, now isn't that fun.

    another time I had aerie, the minsc walk across a trap BOOM petrified, now here comes one of my [ctrl]-[y] experiences, I push ctrl r and it doesn't work so I decide to ctrl y them then just ctrl r them back to life, 1 minor problem, when you are petrified you are removed from the group, and revive does not work on people not in your group, so I had to start back from my last save, back before I entered the map I was almost done with when this happened, I still have more [ctrl]-[y] experiences, and later you can learn of me, the dragon, and the many mistakes done repeatedly (just in different ways).

    My second time playing. Being evil and siding with Bodhi. Then I'm going to the shadow guildhall to do the quest there to get Edwin. Oops they are hostile. And just to think that I hadn't saved in all that time :(.

    He did not die, nope.
    Once I stalked a moose with my asassin in the town of Umar Hills. Nasty animal just could not be backstabbed, nope, I could not even hit it... I thought the moose was cursed, set up a few traps, poisoned the blade, hidded in shadows, called upon holy might. The moose did not live long (sorry all of ye canucks out there... :)), and it turned out he was a rather peaceful, absolutely uncursed animal, even gave me 6 exp (maybe more...). No, I still cannot shake off that bitter feeling of killing an innocent per.. animal. :(

    I sat my mage in the middle of a group of slavers and cast sunfire, killing the remaining five members of my party (obviously through some strange twist of fate).
     
  12. I tried of that party with badguys in the sewers - u know Tarner The Hatchetman and those - with my solo thief... It was not that easy. Very well, it started pretty rough, I failed to backstab the mage, and was exposed by my faliure. I ran the rightmost way and let some dwarf eat me traps. He died pretty easily. Then I hid again, backstabbed the priest, threw silence 15' Radius with Namarra. ALL OF THEM SAVED BUT THE DARN DWARF! Not good, I thought, ran back again discovered a group o' goblins. Drew my Tuigan Bow, missed all shots but one on the shaman. I read the following ;
    Goblin Shaman Casts Hold Person : Draghkar(That's me), Draghkar: Held. Ooops! After being shot at by goblins, and hit at by the darn dwarf and his friends, surprisingly not slain by Gaius(The Wizzie) I break my hold spell! While I'm trying to hack and slash the goblins and the fellows in armour and robes, I drink healing as crazy. At last, I slay them. With about...20 HP left of me sorry character. Takes the loot. Walking upwards for the dwarf's axe. I can see the dwarf standing there, not moving at all. Symbol Stun from Gaius? I think. Starts firing acid arrows. When I've fired about 6-7 arrows, the dwarf begins to speak. What! Strangers, blablabla... And I finnish him with some more arrows. Going for the loot, I discover a band of goblins. Being held by the darn shaman I take an arrow, and slip into oblivion... That felt hard... :-(

    you think that was stupid? how bout this...

    you have 3 Ullitharids and 1 brain flayer underyour control intheir lair... you finish fighting their elder brain and instead of pressing Q to quicksave.. you press A to quick load!! and my last Quicksave was just before i entered the room outside the elder brain's room.. which meant i had to fight 2 intense battles again!

    First visit to the Bridge area with a low (for BG2) level party, I sent Yoshimo on a wander down some stairs to see what he could nick, and he runs into the elemental lich...feeling somehwat outgunned, he runs back upstairs to get some reinforcements and the party goes back down to help him out....no lich in sight so feeling slightly complacent the party went back upstairs to meet the lich on the upper level (must have passed on the stairs..."excuse me Mr Lich, after you") and was I too busy admiring the graphics of Gate to notice the party was getting minced......reload time

    I remember once when I was too lazy to save on my file and just quick-saved everything because no one in my family ever used the mutli-player games. Anyways, I dowloaded Mystra as a character and quick saved my game. Uh oh...so um...now I have to restart back to the time I had just got to transforming my party to drows. Darn, stupid me!

    I once got myself trapped in the Shadow Thief guildhall by losing my familiar (I was Ironbard, also known as Mad Gabelbart, at the time). I have a strange suspicion that I left the ikkle kitty outside because there was no autosave on entering.
