Clearing older maps now, looking to finish side quests as I just dueled imomen. Got her to 7 I believe. Has 85 in traps and lockpicking. Hope that's high enough. Anyways
I should have cleared these areas earlier. THe enemies are a joke now even when I send in melees. Levels mean a lot in DnD I take it?

Level 1 is nobodies and 20 is demi-gods so... Yes?

My characters basically just hit level 4. Going through groups of enemies that would have killed me at level 1/2

LMAO. I'm at some tomb, and then the whole crew turned on me. No problem lets just cast fireball.....
Nearly kill half my party and kill the quest guy.
It's funny because i know exactly what you are talking about.
Ok, I took the idol. Is there any way to beat this beast? I think I may have screwed myself.
*edit * Managed to beat him through cheese. Step up cast web, cast grease, initiate fight, cast fireball, cast flame arrow, let the bows rain hell with frost arrows as he slips and gets stuck. Nice xp reward, no clue what I can do with the idol though lol. Tough fight but I'm starting to understand how to use my mages.
Got back on the saddle. Dynaheir is back to level 5 and cleared the 2nd area of Cloakwood.
Spider lady says she was cursed by "Jon Icarus".
She might mean a different guy.
Damn level 5 at cloakwood? I just took down a wyvern in the cloakwood struggling, and my party is level 4 mostly. I definately need to keep clearing areas. And go kill that stupid spider guy.
Did a little questing here and there. Killed the basilisks, explored Ulcaster's school and fought the assassin ladies in the northeast of the Nashkel mines' exit.
EDIT: The Spider slayer sword is nifty. +2 Greatsword and can cast Freedom of Movement iirc.
Problem is that having Minsc not use a shield is suicide and a pain carrying his gear back to a priest.

Question: has there been a D&D game where you can have a monster party?
Say werewolves, ogres, satyrs, unicorns, dragons, etc. (with classes on top or HD growth).
Guess Planescape or Pathfinder have an undead party member here or there.
You can have thri-kreen in the Dark Sun games. Other than that I don't think I've ever played a D&D game aside from Planescape where it gets much more exciting than half-orcs or dark elves. In addition to undead, Planescape does have a succubus.

One of the NWN official modules, Kingmaker, has party members that are a wererat, a nymph, a rakshasa, and an azer. It's a shame it wasn't particularly long.
Nok-Nok is the character that's played by the min-maxer in your group, except the DM only let him play the absurd character he created if he played it absolutely straight.
Pathfinder goblins are a hoot. They're basically an entire race of sadistic children, who love explosions and singing horribly, and can eat just about anything. They're so popular that they got upgraded to a main ancestry for 2nd Edition (Though at the cost of having "sadistic" being replaced with merely "uncontrollable." Still infamous for their love of fire and singing though.)
Some of the things they're wanting to do in sequel, Wrath of the Righteous, sounds even more down the monster ally, like becoming a Lich and replacing your normal, living companions with ones who were actually one of your enemies... until you killed them.
NWN 2 has Okku but haven't gone back to it and finished the main campaign.
Mask of the Betrayer goes pretty out there in general when it comes to its NPC allies. From memory, your companions are (major story spoilers)
Safiya, an actually-not-evil Red Wizard of Thay who swears to protect you, and is actually a person created from a distilled soul containing all the best parts of a super-old wizard woman whose death started a Crusade against the God of Death.
Gann-of-Dreams, a uniquely super-handsome Hagspawn Spirit Shaman who spends his evenings wandering in the dreams of farmgirls to get his jollies, and is the son of a true-love union between a Hag of the Slumbering Coven, which stores dreams like a living library, and a normal man.
Kaelyn the Dove, a Half-Celestial former Doomguard of Kelemvor and head of a group of Half-Celestial siblings all named after animals, who seeks to restart the aforementioned Crusade and convince her former god to topple the Wall of the Faithless.
AND
Okku, a god of bears who made a pact with the last owner of the spirit-eater curse to use his barrow as a prison cell to contain said curse.
OR
One of Many, the undead corpse of Okku that's been filled with the souls of countless thousands of criminals, murderers, and heretics of the former God of Death and is dominated by three particular spirits who trade off control and are utterly bound to serve the player. And is permanently invisible and undetectable to everyone but the player for kicks.
And that's not even getting into all the stuff the player accomplishes between NWN2 and the expansion.

If I recall correctly, although it's been a very long time, when you played BG with the original discs (all 5 of them), the city was split across discs and you had to swap traveling between them.

There was a full install option though if i remember right. That could have been bg2 though.

The windows 95 computer i played BG on gas a 2GB Hdd. Full install was not an option.
Now I am lost and so close turning Imoen into a mage.
What level is your iomen? I'm not to baulders gate yet but just duelled her at level 7. I feel like I did this too early but mage levels are hard . Wonder if I made a mistake. I do have coran though, the fighter thief with 20 dex.

7 is the latest you can dual Imoen and still get her thief skills back in BG1. Any later and you'll be waiting till 2.

Well.. not exactly, Siege of Dragonspear also does it for you (whether you want it or not).
I don't love that they just put a 3x3 grid over Baldur's Gate, so that some areas are actually walled off from the rest of the screen you're on. You have to go back and forth to get to the little corners, where there is actual stuff. Luckily I think that's only in like 2 places.

Now explore it's horrible landscape with numerous loading screens. I get it, BG Classic is an old game.
Does the Enhanced Edition have the city as a single landscape or do you still navigate it the same way as the classic edition?

at least it makes the city feel huge compared to modern games because you're only seeing a small part of it
