Me to my friend who also plays: I think I only have like 2 side quests left before the end

My friend: Did you do [insert 5 full side stories I hadn't even started]

Me: ... right, so time to start a new save so I can process that.

    I'm on my third playthrough and I think I finally have an order for getting the best gear for act 3.

    This was half the reason I had a hard time getting into BG2. I felt like I got thrown around like I was a sock in a washing machine. Side quests I was basically stuck in until they were done. Not feeling like I was properly rewarded (other than XP) for my time. If this sounds off base just keep in mind I haven't played it in 10 years.

    The other half I didn't care for was the combat. I save scummed that game more than any I've ever played.

    I literally started a new game this afternoon.

    I haven’t been out of act 1 in so long…

    One is full on Durge + Ilithid murder hobo (furthest so far).
    One is a multi class of all classes for the achievement.
    One is good guy fighting Durge but using the tadpoles.
    One is all Warlocks (everyone gets immediately reclassed).
    One is an evil Durge and no tadpole use.
    One is evil charismatic bard with 8s in str, dex, con.
    One is an attempt to multi class and get all the attacks.

    Soon I'm going to try monk / warlock.

    When the game came out, my roommate and I spent 8 days in the goblin camp. I think we were one level below what you're meant to be and we hadn't really figured out the aggro mechanics yet.

    Yeah, that bit is very rough if you go full Rambo mode.

    I think you're supposed to convince them you're with The Absolute and then sneak through like that. We came back for the outside after doing the inside of the base. Coming outside just got us slaughtered, so we had to teleport away and come in from the main gate. Lots of sniping from Asto was done to pick off weaker enemies.

    We never figured out a way to beat the Githyanki? ambush with the dragon. We just had to keep reloading that until we could talk our way through it...

    We were trying to go stealth mode but had no idea what the NPCs would "hear" and whatnot. Well also didn't know you could fast travel, so at one point we fell into the spider pit, killed the spiders, couldn't figure out how to get out, and reloaded the save..
