How good/bad/ugly of an idea would it be to do a blind ironman run without mods? I never got to play BG1 beyond Candlekeep as a kid because my CDs were too scratched.

Given how heavily the deck is stacked against her, she opts for Normal difficulty. Out of Candlekeep for the first time! I've heard stories about that wolf, and I can see how this could've gone much worse. This is not happening, I'm going to my happy place, I'm going to my happy place... The guards chopped him down while I ran in circles, terrified and untargetable (and so did my character). I sold all loot and bought a stinky little buckler with the proceeds. I'll file that under "investment into Not Dying". I'm a dwarf, Jaheira. You had me at "trouble in the mines".

Meet Matilda "Not Daredevil" Murdock, gnome fighter/thief. A blind(-ish) run calls for an appropriate superheroine. After what happened to Gorion, she told Imoen to stay away because it's too dangerous. Tarnesh was no ogre, but killing him was still cathartic. In Beregost, Matilda led spiders on a cinematic chase across the moonlit streets, before eventually backstabbing them all. To keep the enemies equally blind, she stayed in the shadows, darting from tree to tree as she moved across the map. She finally made it to Nashkel! Surely the assassins have lost the trail by now. Surely. Welp. Is this the end of Matilda? Or will Neira's tangled pathfinding save the day? Find out in Not Daredevil: Episode 2 tomorrow!

DisgracelandUSA posted:So, are you rolling up again? Please say yes I already did. The last time we saw Matilda "Not Daredevil" Murdock, gnome fighter/thief, she was held immobile by a killer intent on slitting her throat in an unladylike manner. Apparently the local law enforcement took an exception to that. At the local carnival, she got robbed twice - first by a pickpocket, next by a potion seller. When some mage-hating mage decided to be the third and tried to rob her of her life, she ran away from the circus. Found the working class woman's husband. And avenged my first character. Mellicamp lives! I guess my beginner's luck must have rubbed off on him. I'm not good at classic RPGs, but stealth games are very much my jam. And so Matilda "Not Daredevil" Murdock has ended the iron crisis, ensuring continued proliferation of deadly weaponry among the local populace.

Look at this perfectly timed restealth. To all observers, he just had a fatal heart attack. She then proceeded to backstab the rest of the leaders without the rest of the camp being none the wiser.

Mattea "DireDevil" Murdark, EVIL Gnome Fighter/Thief found the city of Baldur's Gate to be a land of contrasts. It started off so well. A large open city to explore! A string of capers to perform for the local thieves' guild! A bunch of highly backstabbable rich wizards in isolated soundproof houses! Things took a weird and scary turn when Lothander made her an offer she couldn't refuse, and the subsequent quest asked to bring a book that she has already stolen and read. Fortunately, it was a problem easily remedied via the murder of the questgiver in question. Honestly, she had it coming. The slow-acting poison turned out to be a mere prelude for a much more dangerous affliction. Where once Mattea had found savage joy in violence, she now had only bitterness and apathy. Victory wine turned to ashes in her mouth and overwhelming sadness pervaded her every waking moment. Even the retail therapy brought no reprieve. In desperation, she turned to the only mage she had a non-stabby working relationship with: : Help me, Antichickenator Thalantyr, you are my only hope. : Are you suffering from anxiety, apathy, general discontent, guilt, hopelessness, loss of interest, pleasure and experience points from activities? : All of the above. : A rare form of depression. The sages of Netheril had a name for it: the "level cap". : Yikes. Is there a cure? : Generally, no, unless it stems from a singularly traumatic stressful event during your formative moments. : Like having my foster father brutally murdered by an armored goon? : That would do it, yes. : So what's the cure? : : My heart's not really in it at the moment, but okay. From that point on, Mattea's actions became very frugal. She stealthed through the streets, the merchant compound, and the Iron Throne HQ, leaving most enemies untouched. Back at Candlekeep, she briefly unstealthed to say "Hi, I'm Mattea Murdark!" to Rieltar before running away. Apparently that made a strong impression on him, because she got arrested for his murder shortly afterwards. : My name is a killing word. She half-heartedly looted the catacombs, stealthed past all the doppelgangers, ghasts and basilisks, and got out. Mattea "DireDevil" Murdark, EVIL Gnome Fighter/Thief, is heading back to Baldur's Gate to kill Sarevok and cure her level cap.

The first castle (well, a gnoll stronghold) has just fallen to Joan d'Orc's forces, and lady Dynaheir has pledged herself to Joan's cause. She is not the only champion to do so, either. Branwen the cleric and a questing knight named Dorn are also marching under our visionary's banners. While some are openly questioning the latter's motives, Joan is all too aware of the stigma against half-orcs, and so has welcomed Dorn as a comrade in arms. Alas, not everyone has accepted the truth of Joan's visions. A priest named Bassilius went as far as to declare her a heretic. After a visit to the area east of Nashkel mines, the party ended up hauling not one, but two bodies to FAI temple. Dorn was left behind to do a penitent vigil at the bar.

Cloakwood has extracted a bloody price for Joan d'Orc's passage. Imoen was killed and eaten by spiders in a cave. Dynaheir went down to a single spider bite in an ambush. She tried to treat herself, but her Slow Poison was interrupted by poison. At least we were able to retrieve her body and have her raised with the proceeds of our wyvern hunt. As the group was about to return to Cloakwood for a second attempt, Coran has asked for a quick detour to the Lighthouse, an area famed for its "hot singles". One of them, a certain Safana, has joined Joan's warband, while the rest have joined the ocean foam. The greatest trial of flesh, however, came not from curvy temptations, but the meaty golems' fists. Joan herself has narrowly avoided death only thanks to a timely Potion of Absorption and a clutch heal from Branwen. Oh, and Coran did get hit on, after all. By lightning. Twice. At least Davaeorn failed a single non-teleport spell off. Joan d'Orc, half-orc berserker has conquered Cloakwood and prepares to lay siege to Baldur's Gate.

The first thing she does is robbing Candlekeep with Ogre-shapeshifted imp familiar and Sanctuary.

After knocking out a few levels, she runs to Ulgoth's Beard to talk to a man about a cloak. But not without stopping at FAI to pick up a ring and dunk on a maidenless Tarnesh'd. First Law: A Winter Wolf can't harm an imp or allow an imp to come to harm through inaction. Rest in piss, fuckers.

After killing the remaining mages and winter wolves, Moira Grimm escaped Shandalar's island and started recruiting more minions. Melicamp died. So did these Cyric-worshipping heretics. And Algernon had a Tranzig-involved accident. Moira gets word that a bigshot do-gooder is in the area, and sends an invisible imp to keep an eye on him. Truly, the only thing needed for the triumph of Evil is for Good and Evil to do nothing (while honest gnolls do all the work). Moira and her crew have cleared out the bandit camp and picked up Coran, at which point I dual'd Shar-Teel and Imoen into Thief and Mage, respectively. This investment will take a while to pay off, so it falls to Bowjob Brothers to bring the pain in the meantime.

Moira Grimm has almost died at Durlag's Tower. Imps disrespecting spellcasters: tale as old as time. The upper levels went fine. She got the Wis book and tricked a guy into buying gamer girl lock of hair. The first underground level was a bit touch and go, but everyone has survived, and she solved three warder puzzles out of four. At that point, the bags were full of loot, so the party retreated to town to sell it. At that moment, I had a Moira has just finished reading yet another scroll when her Protection from Petrification dropped. This is the face of pure terror of someone rudely awakened from the dream of loving around into the wasteland of finding out. Moira got lucky: the Sanctuary finished casting before the beast turned its gaze on her. Another couple of milliseconds, and I'd be rolling a new character. Shaken by the experience, she fled the tower and retreated to Cloakwood, where she proceeded to murder a ton of people in order to assuage death's hunger and throw it off her trail.

Upon arriving in Baldur's Gate, Moira Grimm made some friends on both sides of the law, tossed Umberlee's priestesses into the ocean, and retrieved some more stat-raising books. She also engaged in some light insider trading with Iron Throne traders and their insides. : My name is Koveras. I used to... : HUH? Your name is "Cover-rear end"? : ...wait, what? : You think you have problems? How do you think I feel? HUH? HA-HUH? WHAT?! The party got thrown out of the library after that outburst. All Grand Dukes survived to be forever in debt to Moira Grimm for saving their hides. The Iron Throne killteam died from literally huffing their own farts. : Face me!.....FACE THE NEW LORD OF MURDER!!! : Why would I? Your men are dead and my crew is fresh and ready. I have you outnumbered, outmagicked, and outgunned. Only an idiot would throw it all away and stoop down to your challenge. : An idiot like your Joan, you mean? : ...excuse me? : Oh, she might have been a mere peasant, but she was a proper Bhaalspawn with true battlemaster's instincts. You, on other hand, are so cowardly and conniving that you could be Cyric's kin. : If you had been stronger and braver, maybe she wouldn't have left you. Maybe she would even be alive today. : You will regret these words more than anyone has ever regretted anything. : I am SAREVOK! I regret NOTHING! "Regret" is not even in my vocabu... : [Silence, 15'radius] : Then let this be your first lesson. Regret is torment distilled from pain, fear and hope gone rotten. : After I kill you here and now, I will track your blighted soul to the deepest hell it is destined for. I will topple the dark master of that place and take his bloody throne. There, I will teach you the second lesson: that of pain. I will visit immeasurable atrocities on your spirit and subject you to the most excruciating agonies that Lower Planes have to offer. : Then, one night, I will poison you with hope. I will let you escape into the Prime and live again as a human. You will once again taste life's delights - and they will turn to ash in your mouth. Once you realize that humans are mortal, and that I will claim you again upon your death, your hope of escaping me will rot and fear will sink its claws into you. You will run, you will hide, and you will sell your own soul time and time again, all to escape this fate. Your existence will become endless torment, and your very self will be consumed by a singular regret, a regret so vast that a fortress could be built out of it: : "I wish I never said those words to Moira Grimm that day." : Only then, Sarevok, I will permit you to finally die and return to my throne of blood as a true penitent. Only then will I accept your apology... and forgive the poo poo out of you. : ... : : : : : Imoen. : Y-yes, ma'am? : What does the "honorable battlemaster" code say about challenges? : No traps, no poisons, no summoning, no items, final destination... : Anything about invisible assassins? : I don't think so. : I hope you're proud, Joan.

A reckoning is not to be postponed indefinitely. Moira Grimm, Gnome Illusionist/Cleric and Mattea "DireDevil" Murdark, EVIL Gnome Fighter/Thief have teamed up and escaped Chateau Irenicus! Unfortunately, prior to making an escape of his own, the cunning wizard had outfitted both protagonists with ACME Explosive Collars. If either Bhaalspawn dies, turns to stone, become dimensionally imprisoned, or otherwise ceases to emit life signals, it's game over for both. The collars are tamper-proof, so the only safe way to remove them is to kill Irenicus first. : I'm starting to get a feeling he wasn't a real doctor. : Gee, what gave him away?

Or else. : So to recap: we are now officially conscripted to a guild war against a criminal syndicate that runs half the Sword Coast, we have no resources, allies or informants, and every thief in this city is now going to literally backstab us. And our own scouting team consists of one jealous idiot with an explosive collar, and one corpse who can't walk around half the time without turning into ash. : Hey, you could send your familiar out! You know, the one that allegedly can slaughter entire archmage councils on his own! : I hate to interrupt your dysfunctional group dynamic, but I have a modest proposal. I can call in a favor with L and get us an unaffiliated rogue to gather intel. : Will it cost us anything? Now or later? : No, of course not. Just doing my best to help my "girlfriend". : : Do it, then. [SEVERAL NIGHTS LATER] : I have the good news and the bad news. The good is that L talked to the Other L, and they've sent us an operative. : The bad news is there have been some irregularities... no, wait, I think the word L used was "abnormalities"... with the request. : So the operative was deployed to Candlekeep instead. : Oh, wonderful.

The most difficult bit was the Grand Duke assassination sequence, where I had to constantly peel doppelgangers off their targets with backstabs and then kite them away to corners, all while madly chugging healing potions.

Ok, after a rage uninstall and a good night's sleep, I think I might have exactly one more attempt left in me. I, Rogue AI Goddess, Elf Sorceress, will direct this battle personally. I almost die on the way to Mutamin's. But I lived, and so did Melicamp. As a rogue AI, I have no compunction about first strike missile doctrine. The first horror required a wand-powered scorcher. The second died to triple skull trap courtesy of XP from the first horror. Elven superiority. Some may cross Greywolf and live. The mine is mine. Nimbul brings me a Find Familiar scroll.

Rogue AI Goddess had a busy week. We crossed the bridge and finished Dorn's vendetta. Did some light reading. Including this guy's mycrimes.txt. And this guy's colonialist screed. Checking in for more reading time. I went ahead and actually killed the Iron Throne leaders because My reward was more reading. Dorn got in magical crossfire (crosslightning?) and died. I was going for Iron Party, so I dumped Dorn's dead rear end and hired Safana, grabbed the last book, and then decided to finally finish Durlag's Tower for once. Went full Deep Blue on the chessboard. Made Demon Knight into a Web comic character. And broke the cultist ambush script so hard with gratuitous invisibility and offscreen summons, they never got to summon Aec at all. I'll take that as a win. If there's something I learned from Matilda, Mattea and Nothing There, it's that at-will invisibility is awesome. Safana met a better thief who stole her heart (and lungs, and spleen). I finished off the duo and hired Kagain in her stead. Double-crossing doppelgangers double-cross Sarevok. Does that make them triplegangers? Got Winski halfway down before running out of biting arrows and wounding darts. Should've brought the Dagger of Venom. Sarevok got dispelled, quad-Malisoned, blinded, slowed, confused, feared, and finally killed. (But no summons or traps, because that would be unfair). Rogue AI Goddess has terminated Sarevok.exe.
