crumb24: If I remember correctly, the first time I played, Imoen and I went to where Gorion fell right away. I literally followed the roads and signs to go straight to the Friendly Arm Inn afterward, because I had just done everything the green monks in Candlekeep had told me to do, so why not do what the starting order was. Granted I had played about half of Baldur's Gate 2 before I started BG1, so I knew a little bit what I was doing from that. I eventually had to go look for help online then, because Imoen and I couldn't beat the mage at the Inn. After I read, I went back to an old save and picked up Xzar and Montaron to help beat the mage.

I tell you this, because I think what Not Jabba suggested is a perfectly reasonable thing to do your first play-through. On my first play-through, I did not look at a walkthrough right away because at the time I still had dial-up internet and did not have a working printer. Sometimes, I think you're just contrary for the sake of it.

crumb24: You know, you kind of remind me of Anomen. Take that as you wish. :p

Hickory: Oh, now that calls for a Xzar quote: "Stop touching me!"

IwubCheeze: This called for a Noober quote"

"What about now?"

"What about now?"
