It would be more interesting if you didnt use exp-remover cap since F/m/t is already strong. Cap remover only turns you into God and kills any challange.

Nah. There is still a lot of challenge, because I suck at the game, hard. Also, I am curious how ridiculously overleveled The Codex can become.

Well without cheats like cap remover you would probably not go F/m/t but mayby gnome thief/ilusionist. Max levels for F/m/t without cap remover are 18/17/22, for thief/mage 20/28. It's all about time stop + shapechange anyways.

Last time on Let's Insane Solo Baldur's Gate 2:

codex_10.jpg
What? She attacked me!

Like court would believe you.

Update #86: Siege of Saradush

bg2_up86_000.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Don't tell me you're a mephit. That would put a serious crack on our relationship. And your skull.

bg2_up86_001.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Tell me more.

bg2_up86_002.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Careful with that!

bg2_up86_003.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Cromwell would be seriously pissed if I told him his craft, which he has mastered for decades, can be performed by a foot-tall bat-creature, just like that.

bg2_up86_004.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Uh... okay?

bg2_up86_005.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I think I've owned at least one skull of a lich at some point...

bg2_up86_006.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Unnecessary. I already am immune to normal weapons.

bg2_up86_007.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What? There are missing pages that have to bought separately? Did EA publish this book, or what?

bg2_up86_008.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Bronze ioun stone? I hope I haven't sold it at some point.

bg2_up86_009.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, you do that. I have a portal to get through.



bg2_up86_010.jpg

codex_10.jpg
That Il-Khan guy must be a radical liberal.

bg2_up86_011.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What are you smoking, lady?

bg2_up86_012.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I can see this is going to end well.

bg2_up86_013.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Not necessary, but highly entertaining.

bg2_up86_014.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Ah, shit. I should have expected a similar outcome...

bg2_up86_015.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I don't feel like fighting you assheads, so just DIE.

bg2_up86_016.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Huh? It didn't work?

bg2_up86_017.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I guess we'll just do it the hard way!

bg2_up86_018.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Ow. Ow. Ow.

Hard way indeed.

bg2_up86_019.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You can't kill what you can't see!

That is not always true.

bg2_up86_020.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Time to employ STEALTH TACTICS!

bg2_up86_021.jpg

codex_10.jpg
DIE LIKE THE WORM YOU ARE!

This is why some people consider you a huge pain in the... back.

bg2_up86_022.jpg

codex_10.jpg
FUCK!

bg2_up86_023.jpg


The speed at which some of them are able to quaff these suggests they wear the equivalent of a beer helmet for potions.

bg2_up86_024.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Let's see if you're so tough one-on-one!

bg2_up86_025.jpg

codex_10.jpg
As expected.

bg2_up86_026.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Time for another 'dagger-in-my-kidney' situation.

bg2_up86_027.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This is unreal.

bg2_up86_029.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Die already!

bg2_up86_030.jpg

codex_10.jpg
YES!

bg2_up86_031.jpg

codex_10.jpg
As for you...

bg2_up86_032.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You don't deserve a direct approach.

bg2_up86_033.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Great. First friendly woman I meet in a long time, and she turns out to be a stalker.

bg2_up86_034.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Dark magic? Anything a wish spell would help with?

You wish.

codex_10.jpg
I wish I could wish.

bg2_up86_035.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Withholding information until I help you. I haven't seen this motive since, like, the previous update.

bg2_up86_036.jpg

codex_10.jpg
If you think that backfired on you, you should try crossing me.

bg2_up86_037.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And because I have not been provided with a dialog option that would allow me to refuse.

bg2_up86_038.jpg

codex_10.jpg
As powerful as me... But is that taking his army into account, or not?

bg2_up86_039.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Translation: 'Does anyone in this shithole of a town sell ultra-powerful magical items?'

And the answer to that question usually is 'yes'.

bg2_up86_041.jpg


You have to give it to Bioware that they have covered their bases when it comes to passage of time here.

bg2_up86_042.jpg

codex_10.jpg
If I knew she was a member of the Teleporting People Guild, I would have killed her on the spot. As it is, I won't remember this when we meet again.

bg2_up86_043.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Well, he's dead, that's why.

bg2_up86_044.jpg


Luckily, we have that base covered.

bg2_up86_045.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I have absolutely no reason for helping you...

bg2_up86_046.jpg

codex_10.jpg
...but it's not like I will find any other use for this rod.

bg2_up86_047.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Well, you ARE unworthy of my attention.

bg2_up86_048.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Maybe I will, I haven't decided yet.

bg2_up86_049.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Either people here take sewer security VERY seriously, or this is where I have to go to advance the plot.

bg2_up86_050.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You talkin' to me, dwarf?

bg2_up86_051.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Hey, I know you!

elvira-mistress-of-the-dark-wallpaper-hd.jpg


That is not her.

codex_10.jpg
True enough. That is a HOT mistress.

bg2_up86_052.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Uh, no, I'll pass. I don't do that weird incest stuff.

bg2_up86_053.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And now she wants to kill me because I turned her down. Typical.

bg2_up86_054.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Shit, she's channelling Illasera too!

bg2_up86_055.jpg


I like how bystanders just ignore the fight around them with their 'seen that already' attitude.

bg2_up86_056.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I should have my own cultists too, am I not enough worship-worthy?

bg2_up86_057.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Alternatively, I will reduce all the other cults to zero members, so I will be at worst tied in the number of worshippers.

bg2_up86_058.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I think I've just killed a Cold Misleadstress. Get it?

bg2_up86_059.jpg

codex_10.jpg
But enough bootleg bullshit, let's deal with the real... uh, deal.

bg2_up86_060.jpg

codex_10.jpg
There can be only one!

bg2_up86_061.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Step off my gold!

bg2_up86_062.jpg

codex_10.jpg
So, they ignored me slaughtering all these people around, but they shit their pants because I am a bhaalspawn? My divine heritage has much more intimidation potential than I realized.

bg2_up86_063.jpg

codex_10.jpg
No lock can stop The Codex! No conventional lock, at least.

bg2_up86_064.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Slaughtering soldiers too!

bg2_up86_065.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Let me demonstrate!

bg2_up86_066.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This is for shit-talking me.

bg2_up86_067.jpg

codex_10.jpg
The more, the merrier!

bg2_up86_068.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Uh...

bg2_up86_069.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Shiiit.

bg2_up86_071.jpg

codex_10.jpg
How many of them are there?

bg2_up86_072.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fuck!

bg2_up86_073.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Let's do this in steps.

bg2_up86_074.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Step one: BURN!

bg2_up86_075.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Step two...

bg2_up86_076.jpg

codex_10.jpg
...BURN SOME MORE!

bg2_up86_077.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I hope Melissan wasn't planning on uniting town militia with Gromnir's army, because the army isn't around anymore.

bg2_up86_078.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh?

bg2_up86_079.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Bingo.

bg2_up86_080.jpg

codex_10.jpg
A boy and his dog?

entrance-down-under.jpg


If you want to know where inspiration for Fallout vaults came from, watch this film.

bg2_up86_081.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Just don't ask me to join my party. I had to kill the last guy who tried that.

bg2_up86_082.jpg

codex_10.jpg
They would need to be black reaver levels to make me sweat.

bg2_up86_083.jpg

codex_10.jpg
That Melissan isn't doing the best job with keeping bhaalspawn alive and safe. It almost seems as if she tries to kill them off on purpose. Could it be...



codex_10.jpg
Nah, I'm sure it's a coincidence.

bg2_up86_084.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I already don't like him.

bg2_up86_085.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Such a cheerful fellow you are.

bg2_up86_086.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Apparently.

bg2_up86_087.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Hey, a temple.

bg2_up86_089.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Locking himself in won't help for long.

bg2_up86_090.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I'm sure she would be very sad if that happened.

bg2_up86_091.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What? Why?

bg2_up86_092.jpg

codex_10.jpg
'Such as me'? What? I have a flawless reputation! 20! It literally cannot go up any more! I have just resurrected a fucking dead peasant! For free!

You are evil now, she will not help you.

codex_10.jpg
This is beyond stupid! I hate clergy!

bg2_up86_093.jpg

codex_10.jpg
It's fucking unbelievable I have such a hard time convincing people of my good intentions! Fuck!

bg2_up86_094.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I need to kill someone to calm myself!

bg2_up86_095.jpg

codex_10.jpg
:smug:

bg2_up86_096.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh, it WILL.

This is how you want to convince people of your good intentions?

codex_10.jpg
Well... fuck.

bg2_up86_097.jpg

codex_10.jpg
GTFO!

bg2_up86_098.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fine, fine, stop whining, I'll talk to him.

bg2_up86_100.jpg

codex_10.jpg
How much is it worth to you? :smug:

bg2_up86_101.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Speaking of which, since I already have the sewer key, shouldn't we just go and kill him?

bg2_up86_102.jpg


We could, but we have some pointless side-quests to complete first.

codex_10.jpg
Oh, right.

bg2_up86_104.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Let's see what inside here.

bg2_up86_105.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What is going on here?

bg2_up86_106.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This Kiser dude sounds legit.

Yeah, just like the other one.

bg2_up86_107.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Another pointless sidequest in 3...

bg2_up86_108.jpg

codex_10.jpg
2...

bg2_up86_109.jpg

codex_10.jpg
1...

bg2_up86_110.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Score!

bg2_up86_111.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I would never be able to sell my mother, for any price, because I never even met her.

bg2_up86_112.jpg

codex_10.jpg
People disappear on me all the time. Fucking teleportation spells.

bg2_up86_113.jpg

codex_10.jpg
So you've let an important witness, a suspect even, roam around free, and lost him? You get no sympathy from me.

bg2_up86_114.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Also, there is NO possibility that she could be blackmailed or something like that. Zero. Null. Nada.

bg2_up86_115.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And let me guess who that will be.

bg2_up86_116.jpg

codex_10.jpg
He has also lost the bulk of his forces recently, but let's not talk about that.

bg2_up86_117.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Not that I'm hoping to learn anything new...

bg2_up86_118.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I mean, other than the sewers.

bg2_up86_119.jpg

codex_10.jpg
So you say.

Next time: I am sure there will be some exciting developments, as there always are.

I'm pretty sure I never encountered the Cold Mistress. Is she from a mod or did I somehow manage to miss her every single time I played ToB ?

A mod, I think, either Ascension or Restored Content.

I was expecting a TPK with all those soldiers surrounding The Codex. I thought they'd interrupt any casting attempts.

Yeah I was also surprised with no interruption whatsoever, was expecting whirlwinds and else.
They had no enchanted weapons, so it was like hacking through scarecrows. I almost chose the non-violent approach because of this.

Yeah, I hated Mellisan for the simple reason that you could see it coming - miles away - and you couldn't do anything about it. Bioware pulls that crap every game.

My favourite part is her endgame morphing time. MY TRUE NAME IS... *DRUMROLL* AMELISSAN!

Melissan would have been suspicious in any case, since she keeps sending us against powerful Bhaalspawn and we've been told there's a traitor among the Five (it turns out not to be her, but that doesn't really matter). The bit about "the face of an ally, the mask of a foe" couldn't apply to many people other than her.

But the way she behaves makes it even worse : "Gromnir, Charname, stop fighti... Oops ! If only I'd arrived 30 seconds earlier... Oh well, here's what you have to do now." When she turns up after you kill Yaga-Shura, it's no longer possible to doubt that she's manipulating you and everyone else.

I guess that if ToB had been a full game rather than a mere expansion, the plot could have been a little less simplistic.

Last time on Let's Insane Solo Baldur's Gate 2:

bg2_up86_071.jpg


This is how I imagine Bioware Forums when someone asks to cut romances for the next game.

Update #87: CSI: Saradush

Note: I forgot to screenshot Codex's character sheet again (for this and next update). Maybe I will add it later here, or maybe you will have to wait until #89 at least.

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, because someone cares about that.

Another note: Conversations in this update are not spoiler-tagged because they make for the bulk of the screenshots. I briefly considered combining this update with the next one, but that would create a 160+ image behemoth, which I wanted to avoid.

bg2_up87_000.jpg


Have you noticed when our hero lost 15 max HP? Analysing the previous update points to somewhere around arriving at Saradush - it seems as if his hell trial +15 bonus has disappeared.

bg2_up87_001.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I didn't say so, because you NPCs always speak first!

bg2_up87_002.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I'm not sure why we didn't talk to this guy in the previous update.

Yeah, it would make more sense, right?

bg2_up87_003.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You don't need 20 INT to figure out that Kisser Jaggedy is blackmailing her and he probably kidnapped this Adric guy.

bg2_up87_004.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Someone stashed some booze in here, and a necklace.

Let us talk to countess Santele.

bg2_up87_005.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Luckily her house is marked on the map.

Quest markers vs. pre-mapped cities with marked buildings - which is better an why? Discuss!

bg2_up87_006.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I did not expect it to be as easy to get the info.

bg2_up87_007.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Killing someone never prevented me from doing anything. On the contrary, actually.

bg2_up87_008.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, sure, I will 'speak' to him and 'convince' him.

bg2_up87_014.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And his house is marked on the map too. How convenient.

bg2_up87_016.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Didn't we meet at the militia headquarters?

bg2_up87_017.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Nothing else to add.

bg2_up87_018.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Why did you tell me to introduce myself then, you asshole?!

bg2_up87_019.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You admit to have kidnapped him, just like that? I barely even mentioned the case!

bg2_up87_020.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What the fuck? I have to hear him out even if I refuse? What is this, Mass Effect?

Actually, Mass Effect usually allows you to end conversations early if you want to resort to violence.

bg2_up87_021.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, nobody would suspect you then. :roll:

bg2_up87_022.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You are really bad at this, Kaiser.

bg2_up87_023.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And you won't even give me a good reason NOT to kill you?

bg2_up87_024.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Well then.

bg2_up87_025.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Your who?

bg2_up87_026.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Get back here!

bg2_up87_027.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I shall grace you with enough attention to even use one of my HLAs on you.

bg2_up87_028.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And done.

bg2_up87_029.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I hope he at least paid you well?

bg2_up87_030.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, everyone carries a bunch of invisibility potions with them. Very realistic.

bg2_up87_031.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This looks interesting.

bg2_up87_037.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Hey, I can turn into a hastened Haer'dalis with this. Cool?

Uh... Maybe?

bg2_up87_038.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I wonder where this jail might be.

Down the stairc-

codex_10.jpg
Shh! No spoilers!

bg2_up87_032.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Let's loot the place first.

bg2_up87_033.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Who keeps a warhammer in a desk drawer?

bg2_up87_034.jpg

codex_10.jpg
A very paranoid fella, he was.

bg2_up87_035.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I think the trap was worth more than the contents.

bg2_up87_036.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Not the case here, though.

bg2_up87_039.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I WONDER WHERE THE SECRET JAIL MIGHT BE.

Down-

codex_10.jpg
I THINK WE WILL NEED SOME HELP ON THIS.

Wha-?

bg2_up87_009.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Maybe the guy Kisar wanted dead will help.

bg2_up87_010.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I am starting to regret coming here.

bg2_up87_011.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yes, yes, divination is our ONLY HOPE.

bg2_up87_012.jpg


The best thing is he actually casts a spell that creates a magical staff. You can clearly see the staff in the next screenshot.

bg2_up87_013.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Let's investigate then!!!!11!1!!11!one

bg2_up87_040.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Who would have figured out to just go down the staircase! Truly, that Jaheri guy was a scheming genius!

bg2_up87_041.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Uhm, okay?

bg2_up87_042.jpg

Oh?

bg2_up87_043.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Cool!

bg2_up87_044.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I wonder if he remembered about all these traps every time when coming down here to get beer.

bg2_up87_046.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I guess that did something.

bg2_up87_047.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Guards! I didn't see that coming!

bg2_up87_048.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Wow, seriously? Kizer managed to talk a high-level mage into sitting in a damp cellar on guard duty for him? And I am probably the first ever intruder here too.

bg2_up87_049.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh FUCK!

bg2_up87_050.jpg


I guess everyone and their dog can cast Time Stop now.

bg2_up87_051.jpg


I honestly turned away only for a moment...

Death Count: 362

Load.

codex_10.jpg
I don't even want to comment on how much this whole situation doesn't make any sense.

bg2_up87_052.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This is the scene where you get wrecked by a 2nd level spell.

I thought Slow was third level?

codex_10.jpg
Whatever.

bg2_up87_053.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Good enough.

bg2_up87_054.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Stay still...

bg2_up87_055.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fuck you and your invisibility potions!

bg2_up87_056.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Improved mantle? Someone's underestimating me. :smug:

bg2_up87_057.jpg

codex_10.jpg
:rage:

bg2_up87_058.jpg


How could we let this happen again?

bg2_up87_059.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Killstealer!

bg2_up87_060.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Exploding mages! My favourite kind!

bg2_up87_061.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And you're barely worth mentioning.

bg2_up87_062.jpg

codex_10.jpg
If I find out who is selling all these invisibility potions, I will kill him! Or her!

bg2_up87_063.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Dead end! Fffffuuuu-

bg2_up87_064.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Let me guess, Adric?

bg2_up87_065.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You were quite content to stay here until I talked to you.

bg2_up87_066.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, right. Except your house. And all other riches. Some of which I may have stolen in previous update...

bg2_up87_067.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Better than nothing, I guess.

bg2_up87_068.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I somehow missed this building before.

bg2_up87_069.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Your last name is 'Librarus'? Seriously?

bg2_up87_070.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You can stop calling me 'Mighty The Codex'. It's flattering, but kind of creepy.

bg2_up87_071.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You're a newcomer... That owns a library. You know what... whatever, I don't want to think about it.

bg2_up87_072.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Small footprints? I think I know who might be involved.

4_hobbits.jpg




bg2_up87_073.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Or, since there are no halflings around, it could be a kid...

bg2_up87_074.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Getting confessions from people in this town is really fucking easy.

bg2_up87_075.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And I bet this testimony of a bullied street urchin will be enough to prove Hectan's guilt.

Will it really? Tune in next time to know!

codex_10.jpg
'Tune in'?

Whatever.

Next time: The Codex's will fail to get laid once again. Also, someone will explode.

That staff gave me some Star Wars vibes.
But it didn't turned into mage duel (with lightsabresstaffs) :<

Bros, let us bump this thing into next page, as we do not really want four updates in the same place.

EDIT:
They must be the only guys in ToB who don't ! I don't think I ever found immunity to normal weapons to be useful in the game.
It is very useful for imported character replays. In ToB, not so much.

Last time on Let's Insane Solo Baldur's Gate 2:

bg2_up87_025.jpg

codex_10.jpg
How the fuck is he immune to backstabs? I want that too!

Update #88: Yet Another Episode In Saradush

bg2_up87_076.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Took us long enough to find the town's tavern.

Only because we are saving the best for last. Well, sort of the best, and sort of last.

codex_10.jpg
You suck at marketing so much.

bg2_up88_001.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I see a damsel in distress. Paladin mode on!

Chaotic evil paladin. Right.

bg2_up88_002.jpg

codex_10.jpg
If I kill them, will you go to bed with me?

For the record, this is not paladin-like behaviour.

bg2_up88_003.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What the fuck is with everyone wanting a thousand gold piece for minor stuff?

High-level inflation.

bg2_up88_004.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Let me make a counter-offer, I will kill you for free.

bg2_up88_005.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I usually get paid a lot to kill, so this actually is quite a bargain!

bg2_up88_006.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Everyone and their mother carries +3 weapons now, common sense be damned.

Maybe they are, uh, were members of Il-Khan's elite force?

bg2_up88_007.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I sense fantastical racial tensions.

Yet another proof that CDProjekt is only ripping Bioware off! Even that Geralt guy is clearly a fantasy version of commander Shepard.

:troll:
Because I KNOW someone out there would have taken that at face value. :negative:

bg2_up88_008.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I bet you will be able to sell me high-level magical items despite these supply problems.

bg2_up88_009.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Q.E.D.

bg2_up88_010.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You're overreacting. Half-orcs are not THAT bad.

bg2_up88_011.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Are you sure you're not confusing vamps with vampires?

bg2_up88_012.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What an idiot. Vampires. Yeah, right.

bg2_up88_015.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And if I am?

bg2_up88_016.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Score! And with a 60% percent discount too, like during a Steam Sale!

bg2_up88_017.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What.

Yeah, I have bought a bunch of duds too. That is why you should always wait for the Daily Deal.

bg2_up88_018.jpg

codex_10.jpg
WTF, the crazy guy was right after all.

bg2_up88_019.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I have the perfect tool, though.

bg2_up88_020.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I guess that put them into place.

bg2_up88_021.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Why is it highlighted then!

bg2_up88_022.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I guess I'm moving in the right direction.

bg2_up88_023.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Damn, wrong weapon. Two unnecessary swings!

It is not like you will run out of stamina, we are not in Dark Souls.

bg2_up88_024.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fuck you!

bg2_up88_025.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Aha!

bg2_up88_026.jpg

codex_10.jpg
A ghost!



bg2_up88_027.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Almost like you talking to your wife.

bg2_up88_028.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yorick?

bg2_up88_029.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Seriously, they were biting his skull?

bg2_up88_030.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Is there a restroom around here somewhere?

bg2_up88_031.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fine, I'll find it myself.

bg2_up88_032.jpg

codex_10.jpg
So vague.

bg2_up88_033.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I hope I'm interrupting?

bg2_up88_034.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Come to think of it, how exactly do they lure their victims into the old prison without raising suspicion? 'Hey, I know this great place to fuck. Very romantic!'

bg2_up88_035.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Either someone had two necks, or could not make a decision.

bg2_up88_036.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, because everyone writes on amulets they gift, especially full sentences like that.

bg2_up88_037.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Hi, I seem to be lost.

bg2_up88_038.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Nevermind, I will find my way on my own.

bg2_up88_039.jpg

codex_10.jpg
WHOA!

bg2_up88_040.jpg

codex_10.jpg
DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!

bg2_up88_041.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Such puzzle.

bg2_up88_042.jpg

codex_10.jpg
In you go.

bg2_up88_043.jpg

codex_10.jpg
AH! Stop doing that!

bg2_up88_044.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I don't think I have any.

You should have some left from killing Bodhi.

codex_10.jpg
I think I've thrown it away.

What? Are you sure? We never throw anything away.

codex_10.jpg
Yes. I know. It is hard no to know since I have to carry all this junk around! And sometimes I get fucking tired of that! So I throw stuff away!

Calm down. Maybe we can buy some later.

bg2_up88_045.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What.

bg2_up88_046.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Whew. That was close. Felt like my masculinity was being put into doubt.

Why would lock picking a door do that... It is not sexual.

codex_10.jpg
Are you sure? Think about it. :smug:

...I hate you.

bg2_up88_047.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Well, that is... an accurate prediction of upcoming events.

bg2_up88_048.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Except I'm not using a blade.

bg2_up88_049.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Those were some good saving throws there.

bg2_up88_050.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Didn't you hear your boss? You should have thrown yourself onto my blade... uh, weapon.

bg2_up88_051.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Time to go.

bg2_up88_052.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Seems like I'm unable to avoid interaction with priests and priestesses, however I try.

bg2_up88_053.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I'll take one.

bg2_up88_054.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Timmy fell down a well?

bg2_up88_055.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Wasn't this door locked?

bg2_up88_056.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What a trolling ghost.

bg2_up88_057.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Van Helsing has nothing on me.

bg2_up88_058.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What do we have here...?

bg2_up88_059.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Didn't I need this for an item upgrade or some such? Anyway, let's go back to the inn.

bg2_up88_060.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Where's my free sex?

bg2_up88_061.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Who's that? The name sounds kind of familiar...

bg2_up88_062.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I don't care.

bg2_up88_063.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, you shouldn't even dream of that.

bg2_up88_064.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Booze!

bg2_up88_065.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Moar booze!

bg2_up88_066.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Even moar booze!

bg2_up88_067.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You people really need to stop confessing your crimes so eagerly. And you know what, I think you're lying about not having the book on you. That would be smart. Which you aren't.

bg2_up88_068.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Make it easy?

bg2_up88_069.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Don't bother!

bg2_up88_070.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Bluff called!

bg2_up88_071.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I knew it! The bastard!

But as simply killing Hectan would be too easy, we shall now reload and try another approach.

bg2_up88_072.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I knew the bullied street runt confession would be evidence enough.

bg2_up88_073.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Can you even cast spells from a book like this?

bg2_up88_074.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh?

bg2_up88_075.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This should be good. :smug:

bg2_up88_076.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yes, go on...

bg2_up88_077.jpg

codex_10.jpg
WHOOOOA! Well, that was worth the trouble!

bg2_up88_078.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Are you the Quantum Leap guy?

bg2_up88_079.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Seriously? I never had any trouble with other bhaalspawn. Until recently, that is. And maybe not counting Sarevok.

bg2_up88_080.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, sure, trying to help you.

bg2_up88_081.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Talking to you was a waste of time.

And what is worse, you need to talk to him again.

codex_10.jpg
Why?

Just do it.

bg2_up88_082.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Did she lobotomize you and remove the fear-responsible part of your brain?

bg2_up88_083.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Right...

Unfortunately, after checking our hero's ability list, it seems like he has not regained his bhaalspawn abilities after killing Irenicus. Another bug, like with the 15 missing HP?

bg2_up88_084.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Good thing I can cast spells too, including horror.

But we shall not do that just yet.

bg2_up88_085.jpg

codex_10.jpg
No legends have been exaggerated, you got that right.

bg2_up88_086.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Ooooooh!

No more inventory problems! :yeah:

Next time: I have not played that far ahead, sorry. But we will probably try and kill Gromnir.

Are you suggesting that they wanted to turn his skull into piss pot?

And I vaguely remember getting that Bag of Holding in the Tower of Durlag or else, with adventurers on the top.

The only bag of holding should be in the Asylum in BG2. Any others are mod added.

Nope.

BG wiki said:
This item can be obtained in the Spellhold maze and another one can be bought from Arcana Archives after completing the subquest: Lazarus' Missing Spellbook.

You mean Sister Garlena. She sells a gem bag, which looks a bit similar.
