Irenicus from the dreams is really Bhaal. I think there is a dialogue where You mention the dreams to the real Irenicus and he does not even know what You're taling about. I may be wrong, though.

Great update as usual, I'm looking forward to seeing how you deal with the rest of the sphere.

Why are you playing in MP mode? Because the no pause in the inv screen? The retarded pause delay is quite annoying to play with.

Good show so far in the planar sphere. One of my favorite dungeons. Speaking of which, if you are ready for this you are for the Planar Prison too... That's my vote for the next dungeon stop if you're still taking suggestions.

I'm not sure why I'm playing in MP mode (really regretting it). Probably because I played like this in the first game too.

And yes, I am still taking suggestions. +1 to Planar Prison noted. Thanks.

You can simply copy your saves from mpsave folder to save folder and play SP with no problems.

Sure, I always play BG2 that way - create my whole team, copy the save and voila.

And keep up the good work, I vote for the unseeing eye with no shield of balduran next :smug:

Good job ! Of course, the gauntlets are useless to our hero (instead of being a pretty cool reward), but there'll be some nice rings further ahead.

I didn't realize being Mazed while soloing meant game over. That's fairly stupid. But then, the main character being killed or Imprisoned also means game over, even when he has a companion that should be able to resurrect or free him.

The Planar Sphere is fairly hard so early in the game (even if without soloing the game on Insane difficulty). The Cowled Wizards and the owner of the Sphere aren't going to be easy fights...

Next update will be delayed, as the HDD containing last bunch of screenshots crapped out on me (and the backup drive was not fully up to date). Hopefully I can still recover the lost files. I really would NOT like to play through that part again.

Good news, I managed to recover all the images from #10 and I finished the Planar Sphere without breaking my skull against my desk out of frustration (although it was close - fucking Tanar'ri :x). I probably won't be able to post an update this weekend, but I'll do my best to post two updates next week.

That's good news (the part about being able to recover the images), will eagerly anticipate the updates :love:

By the way, what kind of weapons will the Codex be learning to use next ? Two-handed swords are a good starting choice, as Lilarcor's a very good weapon early in the game. But even if he kills Firkraag next, the Codex won't be able to use Carsomyr (until he gets Use Any Item, if he ever does). Soul Reaver and the Vorpal Sword won't be available anytime soon and, while they're decent, they're not awesome.

well we have that sweet ass bow and then we can easily get the flail of ages.

why don't we stick with a short sword +1?

Vorpal Sword is awesome, one of the best weapons in the game. And Lilacor is enough until the point when Vorpal blade can be obtained. The only problem is the lich we all know about:smug:

Also, some kind of at least +2 blunt weapon is necessary, flail of ages or the flail that can be bought at Copper Coronet's additional merchant are the best.

well, the flail of ages ends up being +5, and has alot of bonii, so we might as well go for that next so that codex has a good backup weapon when it's required. also one that can hit golems.
