I had that issue on my laptop and I just zoomed the game screen out like 20% and it worked fine.

Can someone elaborate on the typical mage fight defense dismantling? Not running Keldorn for the easy 2x Dispel Magics that I imagine trivialize these fights. I should be using Invisibility Purge/Jan's Goggles/Gem of True Sight to disarm their Shadow Doors/Improved Invisibility so I can land some Spell Thrusts or Breaches because otherwise their invisibility means I can't even target them? And I can't just spam Dispel Magics because Spell Mantle/Invulnerability Spheres/Spell Turning will just ignore that poo poo?

Is the experience distribution in the Black Pits 2 seriously quest experience to each individual party member? I don't see why you would want to run less than a full party except for equipment budget reasons and masochism. Even then you can just run a Sorcerer or Monk or Archer in your last slots where equipment costs are virtually negligible save accessories.

^ Same thing happens for Dark Moon Monk's Frozen Fists ability (shows as Chill Touch)

I've never played Sword Coast Strategems or the Big World mod versions of Baldur's Gate but that guy never struck me as a really hard fight. All you have to do is Magic Missile Wand him every turn and restart if he gets Mirror Image off.

Can't believe Sleep works on Ogres/Half-Ogres/Ogrillons (they are wusses anyways)/Ogre Berzerkers in what could be some of the hardest encounters in vanilla BG1.

The game bugged out during Dorn's 3rd quest (getting his sick weapon) in SoA and I never met the chief dryad of the woods and the druid in the big tree was just lying face down and giving generic druid responses. Had to console out of that area after killing Valygar because his voice actor is loving terrible.

How long is a turn?

They're pretty good in BG1 where the number of proficiency pips is real low (as opposed to BG2 where you're just putting points in poo poo you'll never use) and there are plenty of bears and poo poo for you to charm I guess.

You still get Rogue THAC0 and triple backstab for most of SoA.

I really want to get into Icewind Dale but the lack of kits and reduced proficiencies and general vanilla BG1-ness of it is really offputting, especially since I didn't grow up playing these games.

Isn't Remove Magic the same thing except it doesn't hit your characters?

Can you cast spells as Shadowdancer/Mage or /Cleric during their ghetto time stop?
