Last one for me was doing an Ironman run, getting to the Demon Knight in Durlag's, and getting hit with Power Word Stun because I sent my character in first. Chop chop chop, and time to restart.

sure he has a great time there trapped with the only entry being buried under tons of Rubble

Raduziel

Screwing up Neera's quest in BG2. Needed to make a new run to get rid of those journal entries.

I have problems, don't judge me.

In ToB, I was on the third level of Watcher's Keep, and needed to make room in my inventory, so I dumped a scepter gem that I needed. Got to the end of the level and remembered I needed it, but couldn't remember what room I'd left it in

I seem to remember killing that bandit camp leader (the HEAVILY/EXPENSIVELY armored one) with one marvelous back stab using the long sword Varscona. He turned to ice, and disintegrated!

if your reaction adjustment is low enough ( having 3 CHA for example) she will not kill you with a kiss, just attack her once when she's blue and then she will say "this isn't a fun game anymore" and then you get to live and continue one

Made a character for dual wielding. Left candlekeep and realized that he had ** in single weapon style.

Reven

Created a character for dual class mage/thief and got to bladur's gate without remembering that elves can't dual class.

After 15 years of playing I discover a new place in game. I just want my assasin to hide behind the building and I enter the new area by accident. Inside there was a bandit with little dialog. Did anyone of you find that place? Or other "hidden" entrance like that. ScrnShot below.

Thanks for sharing this! First time seeing it myself, and like you, with many years invested in the game.

I made a paladin and planned to give him a 2-handed sword. I checked his character screen just before buying weapons and saw that the pip was in two-weapon style.

@Sikorsky I just found that place a couple of months ago on my last BG1 play-through, I think I was moving the mouse around and just happened to see the door icon.

FinnTheHuman

Just last night I killed Drizzt and forgot to loot his sweet corpse. No loot when I came back to the area. All gone :-(

the whole reason i hate her to Bits... normally i go Bergeost and rush through it and the temple map with oil of speed and a rk0 potion to get my CHARNAME to lvl 3-4, and suddenly this cow is blocking me off , FORCING me on lvl 1 alone into a fight and knocking me over so the thief's just eat me alive...3 bloody times in a row. i took her in my group only once to get a Gem Bag after reading she had the only one in BG1. not to mention her Voice makes me more violent than Imoens.

And if you do decide to fight for her, as solo, when a few levels up, she complains about you not having more people in your group.

Can't stand her.

I'm currently fighting Abazigal, and it took me three reloads before I realized I didn't have any electricity protection....derp

I don't think I've ever found Group Invisibility in BG. Where did you get it?

JuliusBorisov

The Invisibility 10' Radius spell scroll is a random drop in BGEE. For example, greater Doppelgangers may drop it if you're lucky.

CaptRory

@bengoshi Thanks! Never found one and I'm just about done the game; I'm actually at the point where you need to sneak around or run away from all the guards.

Eadwyn_G8keeper

Discovering several days later that my F/M Charname whose basic plan involved Ashideena rather than Longswords, had somehow failed to recover said item from Bassilus corpse during the fun project of collecting all those nifty Heavy Crossbows, etc... DUH?? It had taken me that long to realize the Hammer was missing because Charname was fully contributing with Longbow and Wands.

Nice.

It looks like I'm going to have to go old school and beat them all unconscious with my fists then run away like a dirty coward.

you still can use invisibility for a single person and just enchant your group one by one , they stay invisible if you turn off the AI .. and only talk with your mage and then just reapply it on him , spell lasts 24 hours and a basic mage has 3 spell slots so he can enchants the group with one resting and after a second he can do 3 conversations.

Or you pick up BAELOTH .. as sorcerer you can pick with him invis 10 meter after a single level up ( he starts at lvl 6 with 40k xp and levels up at 60 k alowing you one lvl 1-3 spell of your chosing

I was considering the single use invisibilities; between Imoen and Neera I have enough castings. Baeloth is a GREAT solution if I weren't running a 6 man party already.
