Is it possible to change out a character I don't like with an Android phone? I don't like this premade mage and want to replace her with my own rolled character. Can that be done after the game's started?
I heard somewhere on the forums that you should avoid two-handed weapons in IWD. I want to know if they were lying dirty rats, or if they're right. And if so, why?
I have finished Kresselack's Tomb in the Vale of Shadows, but I can't find the priestess chick. And, worse, really, is I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do after my thorough check back in Kuldahar. There is no indication of what's next for my heroes. Help!!

I remember it as well. It's mostly recommended, because there are not too many great options for 2H weapons and they are not really much stronger than 1H weapons.

Did you talk with everyone in the inn? Did you find the cave in Vale of Shadows?
If you're a following a power-gamer route in IWDEE, then you indeed should not got with two-handers. But if you're playing normally, enjoying your RP, the two-handers are fine.
You can use two-handed AXES in IWDEE and this fact alone is cool. For two-handed axes you need the same proficiency as for one-handed axes and pips in the two-handed weapon style.
There're also rather fine two-handed swords both in the shops and as loot.
So, you can absolutely fine go with the two-handers in IWDEE.

False. In the original IWD 2H weapons were some of the best around. Especially using them with Rangers (who got an extra attack/round). Now they are great too. My ranger is using a 2h sword (she used Flawless 2h sword from Vale of Shadows, then Kresselack's Sword and now a 2H sword +2 Defender she found in Severed Hand). While she's not getting 1 extra attack she's still awesome with it. I even sent her is some battles alone and came up with a few nice criticals on enemies.
The main reason to use 2h weapons is for the extra reach. There are certainly sufficient decent ones. I would duel wield on your main melee damage dealer, and possibly main tank, but they are good for ranged and support characters who might want to stand on the second row. It's worth noting that axe proficency gives you access to 2h, 1h and throwing weapons.
Having said that, I currently have a berserker with GM in spears. Whilst not "optimal" the game isn't so difficult that it matters.
Especially if you are running a full party, it makes good sense to have maybe the number three character with a two handed weapon. It lets you Attack from behind the front rank. It's also good to have your characters all using different weapons, so you don't run into a weapon scarcity.

Look for the priestess where you found yetis. Then talk to Kressilik, then back to Kuldahar and talk to the inn keeper and Arundel.
You have to agree to "deal" with the priestess when you first talk to Kresselak, or she won't spawn in her cave. This is the sticking point that confuses some people. If you try to role-play with Kresselak and give him one of the wishy-washy "maybe" answers, or tell him no you won't help him, the priestess won't spawn and you can't continue your game.
If you didn't agree to help him when you found him, you'll need to go back to him and tell him you'll deal with the priestess, then go to her cave where she should now spawn, kill her (you will have to), then go back to Kresselak to return the quest. Then you can return to Kuldahar, and Arundel will give you the quest for the next part of the game.
Did you talk with everyone in the inn? Did you find the cave in Vale of Shadows?
As far as I know, yes, I have spoken with everyone at the inn. And yes, I cleared out all the tombs /caves in the Vale of Shadows. I've spoken with Kresselack and gotten the charge from him, but can't find the Priestess anywhere, not in Kuldahar or in the Vale of Shadows, or even back to the pass. I believe I am stuck! ;-(

Like BelgarathMTH posted, you need to make sure you actually accept Kresselack's request to deal with the priestess.
I did get the mission from Kresselack and I looked in the cave. It's empty. I cleared it out before going to Kresselack's tomb. Knowing that Kresselack's tomb was the "big bad" of the level, I did everything else first.

Go and speak to him again. It makes no difference if you cleared the cave out previousy since the person you have to kill doesn't spawn until you select the right conversation option.
I usually clear out the cave before going to see Kresselack. The priestess will indeed be in there after you talk to him and tell him you'll take care of his problem. She will be in the back of the cave nearby the boxes.
It is also possible to check with Arundel. If you did not properly accept Kresselack's mission, you can discuss it with Arundel (and he'll suggest you go back to Kresselack and accept his mission).
I just checked in with Kresselack (again), but he just asks me if I'm going after the priestess. There is no alternate conversation. And when I come out of his tomb and check out the Yeti Cave, it's still empty.
This is really frustrating. It looks like I'm going to have to start the whole game over again. What... the... hell!

Hey guys I have a question: Am I the only one, who really miss the "Guard" button from the original? It was such an awesome function... (It has been reported in the beta, so hopefully it will get added somehow)
What exactly does it do? There's no explanation anywhere.
@Elandir as far as I remember it makes a character follow another character closely (green or blue, maybe even red) and attack any enemy it meets. For instance, I often used it to draw attention away from moving civilians that I wanted to keep alive.
Of course, that doesn't help when the enemy starts fireballing you... #fireballin
How do you access Trials of the Luremaster??? I just downloaded the game and I only see the main game and Heart of Winter on the main screen. I don't plan to start with Trials of the Luremaster, but I just want to know where/how/when it is accessible.
Trial of the Luremaster is available from a character you meet during Heart of Winter. It is a detour that will take you out of the other adventure for a few days.

So no. It cannot be done after the game has been started.

There's no other way to progress.
After that, she spawns in the Yeti cave.
You'll find her here.

Thanks for trying to help!
It looks like you have a bug very similar to this: http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showtopic=25599&page=4 It's strange @KathyPW11 but still maybe the portions provided in that discussion can help you as well
Personally I have never used it =]
