That's why you play a human and do 3 levels of fighter and then dual class to caster. That way you'll start your level 1 caster with a pile of HP and a bunch of level 2/3 friends. The only trick to is to use your fighter weapon specialization slots on weapons you will still be able to use as a caster. There's a good war hammer early on, so specialize in war hammers if you are going fighter/cleric.

Alternately go rogue for 2 or 3 levels and then dual class to caster. If you dump as many dumb rogue skill points as possible into pick locks at first level you can pick most of the locks in the inn and random chests around town, collect a few hundred gold worth of stuff, sell that poo poo and buy slightly better starting equipment from the innkeeper.


Either way it will make your early levels much smoother. Since each class needs a different number of XP to go up levels, and fighters and rogues are the fastest, you should hit level 3 when most of the party are level 2. And then you'll reach 3/3 and unlock all your class features by the time the rest of them are level 4. AD&D XP tables are wild.

sounds like the the way to beat Baulder's Gate 1 is to roleplay someone who follows a walkthrough.

Some of the most powerful items in the game are hidden in tree stumps and farmer’s fields and require pixel hunting to find. There’s no in game hints to their locations.

You remember correctly. And the stump items aren't particularly powerful. BG1 is old and has issues, but it's not that crazy.

Though there is an Easter egg pair of underpants in the first game that, if carried all the way through the second, can be used to get a suit of power armor and a machine gun.

From what I recall the easiest way is to beat BG1 is to get a mod that turns you into a t-rex so you can simply eat all your enemies and don't need to worry about finding equipment in stumps or whatever.

This is a good strategy for most RPG's

In a game where most of your problems can be solved by buying wands and potions but you're limited by gold, getting those stump gems is a big step up. To say nothing of the ring of wizardry or the plate armor crammed in knots and field ditches in the first couple inn/town maps.

I know exactly the one you're talking about but I don't think I have it saved, and it's proving to be really hard to search for as you've already found.

Also, I get the feeling google reverse image search either really sucks now or it just can't handle .png files.

There's one of these in my local grocery store, which doesn't yell that message, but every 5 minutes reminds about surveillance and I have this fantasy of returning late at night with a series of jacks and blocks and tipping it over.

Ironhead. Mmm.


From experience with portable work lights, you could probably just release the leveling jacks that are already on it (sometimes they are locked, but rarely), and you could tip it right over with the mast in the air. I've watched guys begin to loosen the jacks with the mast still up and they *want* to tip over on their own.

I also don't think I've ever seen one of the security ones where you'd want to have a nice walk downtown. I did have my truck broken into right near one though, and the cops didn't do poo poo about it. I'm not convinced they all actually record.

It surprisingly is. Like...maybe a tad just outside the nicer area of downtown by, like...a block. But you can hear that thing yelling at people from the pedestrian-only street/mall a block away, and the people who run the Ronald McDonald house across the street, housing the families of sick children in the hospital have to be moved to a different part of the building because it keeps them awake at night:
