    Thing is.... although the 'evil' rewards are by far the more useful (the majority of the time) i doesnt half **** up your alignment!

    I was Neutral Good when i entered, and left Neutral Evil i think O_o

    I'd have to agree that resistances are a good thing to be snatching up at the opportunity. In Soa, sure, there's more than enough pure physical combat and if you get hit with a spell it's usually not the end of the world. However, when you get into a world where every spellcaster is a demigod in its own right, you might be reconsidering your choices.

    Personally I just like to go through and play my character as I would react to the situations myself. Therefore, I usually came out with a nearly equal ratio of good/evil responses. What they needed was more options for neutrality! Even if there had just been one more test so someone could find a balance or something.

    It's possible to get a much higher wisdom that that if you go through BG1.

    There are three books of wisdom in BG1, so you can get your Wisdom up to 21. Regardless of which path you take in the trials, you will up it to 22. Finally, I believe you can use a ioun stone for +1, and Lum's machine to raise it one, meaning you should be able to get a wisdom as high as 24.

    Deathmage, I mean CE. I know it was a bug, it's just a strange bug.

    Pride:
    I'd save, kill the dragon (I like killing dragons) and reload. Then I'd take the good path, since I'm a sorcerer, I don't need the con, the experience means nothing and I can't remember if these items are good, but since you didn't even mention them, I guess not.

    Greed:
    What I would actually do is pickpocket blackrazor and still take the good path. But even if I couldn't do that, I'd still take the good path, because there will be much better swords available than blackrazor and the MR is much nicer.

    Selfishness:
    This one is hard, but I think I'll take the good path. If I fail to make a saving throw, my best character is out and the battle turns endlessly tougher. And if something is powerful enough to kill me fast enough, then I guess 15 hp isn't going to matter much either.

    Fear:
    Definitely good.

    Wrath:
    It's either WIS and CHA or STR and INT. I don't really need any of those, but WIS would be the nicest. Good.

    Although if I would play a fighter, I would chose the evil path more often.
