Sup fools!

Restarting the game for my playthrough journal (http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/32176/adventurers-incorporated-the-story-or-shandyr-hero-for-hire#latest)

Doing the first quests is sometimes pretty fun and nostalgic. Wondering what everyone's favorites were.

    I always have 18 charisma, kinda because of this :P

    Voted for Hull's sword, cus I thought it wouldn't get much love. Sure, it's annoying, but it's a neat little touch that if you have 18 cha you realize the reason he'd be such a jerk otherwise is he gets reamed by his supervisor.

    I almost always start off with 18 charisma just for this reason. I can't stand the sight of a sweet, innocent-looking paladin with 17 char getting berated by this jerk.

    For me it was between this and retrieving Firebead's scroll.
    I always found Hull and Firebead very amusing when I was a youngster. I liked Hull's dopiness and Firebead seemed like a charmingly funny old guy with his "so hard to find, decent folk nowadays"

    I chose this one because I liked the title. I find all of them kind of boring

    Who DID poison Nessa?

    A mystery for the ages.

    Because in my game they are level 5 Assassins by-the-book with SCS scripts, so they have two uses of Poison Weapon, 30 hit points, 17 THAC0... They might have different potions and they do drink them, too...

    ... Seems to me the only thing worth doing for the Lord of Chaos.

    What are you running to get them to be level 5? Shank and Carbos use poison weapon in my installation of SCS but they still die in one hit.

    I love testing my new characters or weapons or spells on those two. Plus you get some small loot you can sell.

    I was doing a test drive for my 95 point Dragon Disciple with 18 STR. (The Dragon Disciple PrC in 3.5E gives you +8 STR at some point so I RP it as she's being strong because of it)

    *Buys Throwing Daggers. Goes to Shank. Throws dagger. Critical for 12 damage* "...Yup, she's a keeper."

    I love the 1xp you get for slaying the little beasties. It sure makes it all worthwhile. I'm always tempted to kill those lazy cats though...
