    I completely forgot about my OWN thread! I just started a new role-played play-through in IWD, and it's pretty great. Semi-blind, solo, non-min-maxed stats, gnomish barbarian. Second update should hopefully come out tonight or tomorrow. I'll put more details in my first post, way back at the beginning of this thread. Here's a link, though. http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/37175/glasgin-firebeard-gnome-barbarian-solo-semi-blind-minimal-reload-role-played-play-through

    Just an update because I know there are probably more viewers of this thread than my individual play-throughs, I've uploaded two new chapters in my stories, one in both Phaendris' tale and in Treyve's. I'm especially proud of Phaendris' new chapter. Laughs, love, battle, and anger are all promised in it!

    1: Restless Run of Shadows of Amn: Poppy, dual-class Mage->Thief, completed.
    http://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/37785/restless-run-of-baldurs-gate-2#latest
    A normal run of SoA without resting, using a mostly melee-oriented party. There were some unpopular exploits in the early game.

    2: Snowy Tae, the Cleric/Mage/Thief: A minimal-reload solo SCS2 run of SoA, discontinued.

    I tweaked a Mage/Thief so it could be played as a Cleric/Mage/Thief triple class. I tired of the mod after a rather lengthy fight in which I got an Amnish Soldier to kill Tolgerias, and used domination spells to prevent the whole map from turning hostile.

    3: The Party of Spiders: Sil, Cleric of Lathander(11)->Mage, no-reload SCS2+Ascension run of SoA and ToB, temporarily on hold.

    This is a party of spellcasters--no fighter levels in the group--which is played like a party of fighters. Rather than relying on summons and offensive magic, this party tries, wherever possible, to beat the enemy with melee and ranged combat. Shapeshifting is prominent in this playthrough. It was put on hold after a near scrape with death with a pack of four dragons--I realized that I was too unfamiliar with ToB to safely continue, and decided to return once I knew more about Ascension battles.

    4: The Archer Thread: multiple runs, all featuring prominent Archers, both vanilla Archers and the Tactics Archer fighter kit, single- and dual-classed, party and solo (some failed, one discontinued).

    Basically, this thread is a small collection of runs with an explanation of my no-reload strategies for Archers. I died multiple times, failing the no-reload requirement thingy, but continued anyway to keep researching the uses of the Archer kit.

    Also, we should include a link to the "Maybe this time" thread, which contains many such runs from multiple players.

    I know it's been a long time since I've updated any of my threads and I apologize for that. I have a new computer and a metric butt-ton of new games that I've never been able to play before because this is my first PC (as opposed to an Apple), so my attention has been very much diverted. That said, I have a new play-through coming soon, which due to it being made on the computer (as opposed to an Ipad) I imagine will progress both more smoothly, and more quickly. It's also a comedic/simple play-through, so don't expect in-depth role-play or anything like that. That will make it go faster, however.

    Anyway, this is just an update as to my relative absence, and information on upcoming new things in the forum life of Elrandir.

    Grum's Magnificent Trainwreck

    A full BG1 solo no-reload RP run.
    Many failed no re-load runs...
    One ongoing attempt that is on hold due to RL burnout.
