Tavernking
Don't believe his lies
Here is my CRPG Megadventure. I am developing my own RPG currently, so I thought it best to enlighten myself on the classic RPGs of ancient times. This will be a long perilous journey, but I look forward to making many friends along the way and having all kinds of adventures.
The current plan is
Baldurs Gate EE => Siege of Dragonspear => Baldur's Gate II EE => Icewind Dale EE => Icewind Dale II => Pillars of Eternity (including White March expansions) => Pillars of Eternity II
My previous RPG experience:
- 300 hours of Skyrim (complete)
- 20 hours of Pillars of Eternity (incomplete)
- 5 hours of Chrono Trigger (incomplete)
- 1 hour of Baldurs Gate
- 1 hour of Baldurs Gate II
So let's begin.
It took me three attempts but I finally finished the tutorial of the game. I was supposed to cast the elevenmage's spell of gibbering on my tutorial instructor (whom has magical resistance), not myself. So now I was ready to begin my Baldur's Gate adventure! I have already played up to the Nashkel Mines with a similar character (about 1 hour of gametime).
Tavernking: Dashingly handsome, he's so strong and muscular, when he's shirtless he makes the maidens squeal. All the girls talk about him because he's so perfect, and because he's very popular among his fellow scholars at Candlekeep.
Candlekeep was a bit boring because I'ld already played through it before. I loved this first quest, felt like a very easy way to ease your way into becoming a killing machine, one day you're smashing harmless rats to a pulp the next you're slaughtering innocent peasants by the hundreds!
Tavernking gets annoyed by the lazy cats.
Imohen comes along for the adventure. I already knew this was going to happen but it still pissed me off anyway. I had an immense dislikement of Imohen the moment I met her.
I hope they're friendly to my 'other arm' as well if you know what I mean.
FATHER NOOOOOO!!!
God damn it, I'll be giving you all the dangerous jobs then.
Ambushed by a fierce looking creature, I quickly talk to Montaron and Xzar so they can help me in the fight. This didn't happen on my first playthrough so I was quite surprised.
The creature is easily dispatched.
Loving the cutscenes in this game.
An assassin is easily killed. Yawn.
Tavernking gets intimidated by an orc! Well, no need for mindless bloodshed.
The beautiful Jaheira gets flustered by Tavernking. She is immensely attracted it seems, trying to awkwardly draw attention from Tav's handsome looks.
Tav is also aroused, Jaheira is of fine genetic breeding material and is a potential wife!
Looks like the only male competition Tav has is a beta friendzoned stutterboy. This will be easy.
We travel South to Beregost.
I didn't take the time to explore Beregost when I played one hour to the Nashkel Mines (I skipped it entirely), so I thought I might as well this time around.
Tav and his party get busted for snooping around.
Keep your distance, woman!
Great. I have no idea whether it's justified to hand her over or not. But the least I can do is try to relieve tensions and stop needless bloodshed.
Where's the 'show me some proof' button? Am I supposed to know what a 'Wild mage' is? I guess Ekandor, even if he's impatient, seems reasonable enough.
...I take that back.
Ekandor is teleported somewhere by Neera. We prepare to fight valiantly against his henchmen! Wait... where on earth is Montaron?
Montaron figured it'ld be a good idea to stay in the house and inspect the bed linen.
Luckily it was an easy fight anyway.
I have no need for Neera, and she leaves very upset that I didn't want a hunted Wild Mage teenage girl who doesn't even know what spells she knows how to cast in my party.
