    1. iirc = if i remember correctly. use should be pretty self-explaining ;)
    2. i use celestial fury, too, but bosses may be immune to the stun-effect.
    3. it's a silver dragon. i did kill her the time before last, because i wanted to do everything possible, but before that i used an exploit of the game, receiving her quest and returning afterwards to kill her. so i can't answer the question properly, but i guess you could use the scroll like the one for demogorgon. please correct my, anyone :)
    4. i love viconia!
    5. clua is part of every cheat (except teleporting) used in the game. so if someone says "just clua this or that" they mean, you could or should cheat.
    6. shadows of amn is nicer than throne of bhaal imho.
    7. do you include korgan as a beautiful bad npc? agreed about viconia and sarevok. or do you mean bodhi or jon-the-man? i think the designer wanted to put up some truly magnificent villains - and they did that very well!
    8. too bad. it's (possibly) a 6:1 fight he's GOT to have SOMEthing. else it'd be too easy.
    9. i do :D
    10. why are there so few evil nps to take along?! look at bg1, there it was almost equal between good, neutral and evil.
    11. does anyone except me play "all-evil/neutral/good"-parties? i never mix alignments, not quite sure why, but i feel it's essential roleplaying somehow.

    1 IIRC stands for If I Recall Correctly.
    2 Yes Celestial Fury does work on all enemies.
    3 Goto the Kuo-Toa area, there is a door there to the exit.
    4 No, her romance annoys me.
    5 CLUA is the cheat console built into BG1 and 2.
    6 Depends on the player and their aims. Personally, I don't think so.
    7 I think Jaheira is the prettiest, but that's personal. [ :thumb: - Beren ]
    8 Yes the game does cheat from time to time. It's all about the challenge. Irenicus kind of has his own rules.
    9 See above.

    IIRC is internet shorthand for "if I recall (or remember) corectly."

    Yes, the Celestial Fury is a very nice weapon. However, IMHO (In my humble opinion) it is not the greatest weapon in the game. While its special effects are quite nice, the fact that it only has a +3 enchantment limits its usefulness, especially once one hits ToB.

    SPOILER
    I am not sure what you are referring to here. If you bring Adalon her eggs, she will automatically teleport you to the exit.

    CLUA Console is the debug/cheat command prompt that allows you to make alterations (or cheats) in game.

    ToB is shorter and is, IMHO, more slanted towards powergaming than SoA. I like them both, but it is more a question of taste than any appreciable advantage one has over the other (though SoA is a much longer game than ToB).

    Well, I have read that Viconia was deliberately drawn to be the most attractive of the female NPCs. I would also go so far as to agree that the evil NPCs are among the most powerful characters -- Viconia is the best Cleric, Edwin is the best Mage, and Korgan is the best fighter in the game. Maybe they were made more powerful in order to attract people to trying out an evil party. Hasn't worked for me yet.

    Yes, many mage opponents in the game have sequencers and contingencies that are quite illegal and unavailable to you. It is the way that was chosen to give mages a chance against the superior intelligence of the player.
