If you get close enough to the auction without being spotted, isn't your 'reward' just so see some other rear end in a top hat portal in and steal the wand for himself? It's been a few years since I played.

I think Cadorna's appearance is different in the Amiga version compared to the others. The PC version has him younger and with a beard IIRC.

After the jump between the Icewind Dale games I’m glad they didn’t switch systems for Baldur’s Gate in mid series tbh

Night10194 posted:One of the whole reasons for 'trap builds' is that combat in CRPGs is usually a hard-gate to progression. If I'm playing Wasteland and I took a bunch of cool sounding skills but can't fight, I'm not going to get anywhere. It's even better in Wasteland, where half of the combat skills are themselves traps!

I read somewhere that the producers of Let's Make a Deal actually did run into the issue of unlucky contestants wanting to keep the goats they had "won," costing the show a fair bit of money.

achtungnight posted:Fun Trivia- this game was the unofficial sequel to a D&D novel called Azure Bonds by Jeff Grubb & Kate Novak. The heroine- Alias, the chick on the game title screen- wakes up with a similar issue of weird tats on her arm. There’s also a weird lizard dude following her, but we don’t have that issue. I’ll point out book similarities as we go. It’s a decent novel, a trilogy actually, if anyone wants to check it out. The two follow up books, The Wyvern’s Spur & Song of the Saurials, don’t have any relevance to this or future games. IIRC from when Xenocides was LPing the series, the authors actually had written Alias with proper body armor, then had to go back and do rewrites when they finally saw the official artwork.

Just don't read the Baldur's Gate books.

Wasn't Minor Globe of Invulnerability also usable as crowd control? Like, you'd cast it on an enemy and they'd be effectively out of combat until it wore off? Maybe I'm thinking of something else. I'm still trying to figure out what an Otyugh is supposed to resemble exactly. Some kind of hydra-like sea creature, but on land? I guess?

KataraniSword posted:Both Baldur's Gate and Athkatla (the main hub-city in BG2) have non-trivial sewer systems, though they're pretty cramped and confined even for dungeons in those games, certainly not the spacious catacombs of this game. I just started replaying the games on the PS4 version and after Firewine Ruins I will never complain about a sewer level again.

I know there've been some rumblings about the studio that did the Bard's Tale and Wasteland remasters possibly doing the Gold Box games next. Maybe we'll get to see how that pans out!

Chokes McGee posted:One of my favorite non-complete LPs on the forums was one poster trying to do the early Bard's Tale meat grinder by replacing each dead character with a fresh one suggested by the thread. I am reasonably certain they went 30 pages deep and didn't even make it to the samurai statue. Isn't that basically what this Let's Play did? e:

The thing with Bard's Tale is that you can step out the door of the Adventurer's Guild and immediately run into a group of 8 of these fuckers: These guys are, I'm pretty sure, a tier higher than the Nomads with the same sprite that you encounter in the first dungeon. If you run into a single Barbarian, it will take a level-1 team two rounds of sustained beating to bring him down. During that period, he can easily one-shot two of your guys. Know another fun detail of Bard's Tale? Your team doesn't focus fire. Tell all your crew to attack a stack of 8 Barbarians and they may very well each pick a separate one to ineffectually chip away at. An encounter with 8 Barbarians is basically the game saying "Can you run? No? Time to reload, sucker!" For some reason they're absent from the 2018 remake.
