Another Baldur's Gate coming, at some point
Alex C:
I don't think anyone needs a lesson in how to beat the fights, honestly. I've solo charactered the game a time or two. The conversation isn't so much about difficulty as it is about how the game's win conditions tend to be centralized around a relatively small selection of spells that MUST be dealt with if you wish to continue in anything resembling an efficient manner, a point that you yourself just emphasized in your post. Jackie wasn't upset that the game was too hard, per se, he was upset that the game was "hard" in a predictable manner that also requires him to basically skip any level 5 spell not named Breach lest he have to stop and take a nap every time a wizard pops up.
PizzaSHARK:
Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. I never was keen on the idea of resting every other fight in some areas; I don't roleplay at all, but it does seem a little silly that you could be butchering your way through Ust Natha (I never, ever do the quests, just run in and kill my way to and from the dragon eggs) and take a few eight hour breathers along the way without interruption.
I'm slowly working my way through solo as a dualled Berserker/Mage (I personally feel Berserk is stronger than Kensai perks because of the immunities, plus the ability to use shields, bracers, etc), but Tactics2 makes it pretty rough. Liches are extremely hard without Ruby Ray to kill the Spell Trap.
Jackie Blue:
Settle down guys. You're proving my point. What I said was that BG2 was "hard" in a bad way, inasmuch as it is either "impossible" or "completely easy" depending on whether you use certain very specific tactics.
I wasn't asking for help beating the game, I've done that already.
Like 6 years ago.
And then again 2 years ago.
ackblom12:
I think the original point was tha tit wasn't so much a flaw in BGII as it was a flaw in D&D and that the only reason it wasn't as inherent (in the same way at least) in BGI was because you're max level was 7. It somehow turned into a Player's Guide, but oh well.
Alex C:
Yeah, I was really just trying to point out I had the opposite experience frustration wise, not really to talk down to you or anything. Apologies.
