Going in deep this weekend. This is starting party. Probably rotate 2 npcs in and out throughout the trilogy. First time ever running through with multiple custom characters. Hopefully first time I finish all the way to BG2.
The Blackguard leads his deadly dark cadre in a rampage of murderous vengeance across the Sword Coast.
Can you believe that fool of an Assassin would actually poison two Blackguards? What did he think was going to happen. My favorite Blackguard Duo strategy. Two Blackguards decloak and deliver a double dose of poisonous death!
The "Strategy" works against crazy mages stranded on prison isles...Or as I like to say "Blackthorne and Dorn do some MURDER!"
Shar-Teel has developed a taste for Murdering crazy mages. I used her first two thief proficiencies to use Quarterstaff and specialize in Two Handed Weapon, she also has three pips in Longbow, dang I'm going to miss her when I take this group to the 'Siege'...
Some evil entity thought he was the master of 'EVIL' underneath Durlag's Citadel. Blackthorne had to demonstrate the poor Demon's folly...
I just finished "Werewolf Isle". Evidently a Blackguard specialized with dual wielding Bastard Swords is also known as a god of death amongst the lycanthropes!
I like your run @Skarose as I just finished the demon knight too and have a similar party now with dorn, shar, edwin but took monty/xzar which i forgot how funny those two are - about to head to the island/BG city to continue my reign of terror
Blackthorne and his dark cadre are currently hunting Caelar Argent. Shar-Teel has been replaced by Safana(Scimitar/Dart/Shortbow/Quarterstaff) but the Blackguards have teamed up again and unabated slaughter soon ensued. I heard dragons can see through invisibility so the pair of ninth level Blackguards developed some new stealth technology. It's called the sanctuary poison delivery technique
i was digging through some of my vanilla bg1 screenshots, and here is the oldest screenshot that I own still ( back from april of 2008 )
ah, back in the good ol' days when BG was 10 years old at the time and having difficulties with my graphic card(s)
and then, this screenshot here:
in this picture branwen cast hold person on drizzt, and it actually connected, the chance of this happening is a .4% chance, less than half of one percent, I think this was the only time I have ever succeeded in holding drizzt with hold person ( and I've probably killed this guys literally 1000s of times ) I've had the odd web work and odd magic missile connect, but hold person, too good
By the way—I've been searching for the BG1 dialog-box font everywhere to no avail. Should anyone know its name, please let me know and win my eternal, boundless gratitude. FWIW, it was contained in REALMS.BAM.
When I was the kid, I couldn't tell the inventory icon was representing backpack, and for a long time I thought it's a profile of the head with a ponytail.
Hey @sarevok57 the screenshot with Sarevok as leader, did you use shadowkeepr/EEkeeper as tried duplicating him for some IWD runs but I could never get his deathbringer assault

it could be that his death bringer assault "spell" is not in IWD per se, so that might be one reason why you could be struggling to get it to work, i think he has a script that makes it so he does his death bringer assault in bg2, so what you would have to do is; find his script and all the files associated with that effect, transfer them over to IWD and make sure your .2da files match in IWD as they do in BG2, and then it should work then
personally i don't use death bringer assault, i just use the portrait for my own dudes
Again, witness the awesome magical might of Garrick, taking on all the Wyverns in the cave, plus a group of tasoli all by his lonesome, while the party waits in the trees (his idea). My party is at XP cap (4 members, already took out Durlags & Ice Island) even though we haven't gotten to the mines yet. Adding anyone just seems to throw off the balance
Our party has commandeered the seemingly abandoned house near Thalantyr. You need a place to store your wyvern heads as you want to wait and cash them in all at once
Doesn't look like Drasus is going to get a word in this time. We are Ninja! Actually I'm roleplaying that Miette is being taught katana by Rasaad (she started with shortbow & quarterstaff).
Garrick single handedly took out a den of Ogre Magi, while the party stood outside and smoked. The ogres did manage to get a confusion off on him, but were unable to find him while he shook off his confusion and plotted their death.

Having a blast with this Evil Run. So Much Power!
no doubt this helped a lot though:
the ogre mages in that house dropped 5 laeral's tear necklaces, there's an easy 15 000 GP
and then right before the final battle in bg1 what the team looked like:
and now it's off to SoA
