What I'm Doing Here

Because I enjoy adventure games, I decided to start this blog and record my fun and frustrations as I play various adventures and some RPGs. I try not to spoil the games, so you can read and play, or play and read. I'm also reviewing some games, as I used to do in the past for Four Fat Chicks. I hope I'll spark your interest in playing, or at least entertain you with my musings. Please note that my musings are only speculations. You, or the game designer, may disagree with my opinions. At the end of each entry is a link to the next entry about that game, and you'll find a list of beginning links to the right, just under my cat's photo. Feel free to comment and play along! Enjoy!

Baldur's Gate 19: Action Tomorrow! (or maybe next week)



So I returned to the game tonight, determined to get Imoen up to Level 7 and get her thief abilities back.

And then I couldn't find much to do. Problem is I was away so much I'd forgotten what I'd done. I can't do Quinn's quest because apparently I sold the dagger he wants. Drat.

I was unable to get the thief guild quest going because the guy didn't meet me at the inn to give me instructions. I really think I would have remembered doing that, because you can only send your thief, at night.

I did manage to get the Ghorak skull quest off my list, however. You have to find the guy and let him say thanks. Luckily, I was able to mostly remember where he was. So that was nice, but it didn't add any experience points.

However, finally I found something in the quest list and got lucky enough to find the house you need to do the quest. So, goody. I had to find Shandalar's daughters and get their stuff. Alas, this involves massacring them. They go down easily, but at first I made the mistake of choosing the wrong dialog option, and threatened to kill them. When I did it, several members of my party started complaining and threatened to leave. I am playing with good aligned characters, after all.

OK, went back and let the girls attack me. That worked, but I didn't quicksave and got caught downstairs.

Back for a third time and this time I got the stuff. Better than that, when I exited the house, an important character approached me to tell me I'd been poisoned. I know from the FAQ that this is part of the main storyline. So finally, I'm back on track! Yay!

However, tomorrow a major package from Kirkus arrives, and I'll have four days to get it all done. So, no more Baldur's Gate until that happens.

But I'm glad I returned to the game. Imoen is so close to Level 7 that I'm sure on the next round I'll get her leveled up and cooking on all burners!

So that will be an incentive to get back to playing!

Hooray!
