Apparently the archaeologist thing even happens twice, then... Legolas Send a noteboard - 05/05/2011 08:45:59 PM
Nah, there is an archaeologist you can stumble upon in the same area you find Commander Brage. He's excavating an old temple, and if you help him all his workers become possessed and try to kill you. If you try to leave with the artefact within, some sort of servant of the forgotten god appears and mauls you. And the artefact is useless (literally useless, you can't even sell it), unless you want that cursed vampiric sword.

... because there's an archaeologist (okay, more like a grave robber, but same difference, right? ) in SoA, as well. I was rather disappointed that that cool-looking dead king's mask that took all that effort to assemble didn't actually do anything outside the quest, though...

So I gotta know if this is happening to anyone else... LadyLorraine - 30/04/2011 01:22:24 AM 1015 Views
I pretty much just hear... MightyYT - 30/04/2011 07:57:10 AM 717 Views
you must gather your party before venturing forth Foxhead - 30/04/2011 10:16:34 AM 685 Views
oh god....I hope that narrator makes lots of money. He DESERVES it LadyLorraine - 30/04/2011 10:01:01 PM 680 Views
This behaviour must not continue. Feel the burning stare of my HAMSTER and change your ways! beetnemesis - 30/04/2011 11:43:38 PM 755 Views
the best. Particularly since follow-ups having come CLOSE :rollups: LadyLorraine - 01/05/2011 12:25:01 AM 660 Views
go for the eyes boo, GO FOR THE EYES!!! (squeek, squeek) *NM* ianski - 09/05/2011 06:45:06 AM 308 Views
"Build more burrows." *NM* Zalis - 30/04/2011 11:28:59 PM 350 Views
To me, yes, but then I'm currently playing it, so not as odd. Legolas - 01/05/2011 12:25:17 AM 669 Views
live by the sword live a good long time! Foxhead - 01/05/2011 01:30:21 AM 787 Views
Xzar!!! LadyLorraine - 01/05/2011 04:21:18 AM 682 Views
I've never played the first one - sounds like there are some good lines there too. *NM* Legolas - 01/05/2011 09:44:48 PM 320 Views
...how could you play the follow-ups without playing the first one? LadyLorraine - 02/05/2011 01:18:12 AM 697 Views
I never played BG1 and still REALLY enjoyed BG2. The story seemed a clean enough break to "get it." Zalis - 02/05/2011 01:14:23 PM 625 Views
i really recommend going back and playing BG1 then LadyLorraine - 02/05/2011 04:19:21 PM 711 Views
Yeah, exactly... I don't really feel the loss. Legolas - 02/05/2011 10:50:04 PM 776 Views
BG1>BG2>tob Foxhead - 03/05/2011 09:37:31 AM 731 Views
You have more characters, but they don't participate as much. Fanatic-Templar - 03/05/2011 11:36:28 PM 702 Views
I certainly agree that SoA > ToB. Legolas - 04/05/2011 09:45:15 PM 680 Views
to put it simply, you're wrong about the gameplay. LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 01:42:10 PM 734 Views
hi 5* *NM* Foxhead - 03/05/2011 02:16:17 PM 448 Views
BG was AD&D 2.0 and BGII was 2.5, right? *NM* Zalis - 03/05/2011 02:23:06 PM 329 Views
I believe so. Regardless, it doesn't really change much. LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 04:19:46 PM 650 Views
It might clarify things a bit if I say I've never played tabletop RPGs. Legolas - 03/05/2011 10:21:34 PM 817 Views
Baldur's Gate requires level grinding though. Fanatic-Templar - 03/05/2011 11:47:30 PM 932 Views
you don't grind Foxhead - 04/05/2011 08:36:12 AM 776 Views
Depends on your perspective I guess. Fanatic-Templar - 04/05/2011 06:49:52 PM 736 Views

Re: patience is rewarded Fanatic-Templar - 05/05/2011 07:31:01 PM 642 Views
so does every game, honestly. LIFE is level grinding. LadyLorraine - 04/05/2011 10:15:26 AM 740 Views
That's not true, and you know it's not true - you've talked about playing games that don't have it lord-of-shadow - 04/05/2011 01:18:51 PM 662 Views
by my definition of grinding, yes, games like BG don't have it. LadyLorraine - 04/05/2011 05:41:59 PM 739 Views
No. Specifically, I was commenting on Baldur's Gate compared to Shadows of Amn. Fanatic-Templar - 04/05/2011 07:04:55 PM 778 Views
I wasn't aware you were specifically comaring BG to SoA. LadyLorraine - 04/05/2011 07:43:32 PM 660 Views
Ah, sorry then. Yes, it was in reply to the improvements of BG2 to BG1. Fanatic-Templar - 05/05/2011 12:45:55 AM 751 Views

I do have the impression that SoA (and certainly ToB) swings a bit the other way regarding mages. Legolas - 04/05/2011 09:40:12 PM 803 Views
Yes. It's not the fault of the games though, they're using D&D rules, so it comes with the territory Fanatic-Templar - 05/05/2011 12:25:21 AM 763 Views
ah, you found the game to be a grind? Foxhead - 05/05/2011 09:08:27 AM 823 Views
Diablo 1 is vastly superior to Diablo 2. Just saying. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 02:22:44 PM 444 Views
As I said I haven't played the former, but I really rather doubt it. *NM* Legolas - 03/05/2011 10:22:07 PM 320 Views
Diablo 1 wins in the story and atmosphere department. lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 10:37:30 PM 715 Views
If you thought they both had a terrible gameplay... Legolas - 04/05/2011 09:41:46 PM 677 Views
Because they're addicting and I'm exaggerating. I have completed both. lord-of-shadow - 04/05/2011 10:04:40 PM 662 Views
