Dumb poll. No offense. Do Europeans ever get tired of putting u in words like honour and favourite? If i would have went to high school in Europe i would have rebelled and spelled all those types of words without the u. My favorite encounter was with the first random goblin you go up against when you step off the ship and get done talking to that guy with the lame arm. Exciting!!!!

 

I could 'rebel', which won't make sense at all since it's just a stupid writing change, you could say I was indoctrined by school because of England being nearby and such... Who cares anyway?

It's just a topic really, but you can't blame anyone for voting. You can put your favOrite encounter in the topic as well.

And, no offense, but yours is just plain stupid. I know it doesn't apply as much as with, for example, Baldur's Gate, because it's always battling here, but the reason I 'polled' this topic is just for the fun, and not the 'excitement', caused by my unexplainable urge to put polls on this board, for which I hereby appologize.

 

i did not mean to come off disrespectful. And the spelling thing was just a stupid joke that i actually ponder about (like why are strawberries the only fruit with seeds on the outside?). The encounter thing was also a joke. I haven't played the game in awhile so i can't remember everything, but i liked the severed hand and yuan-ti areas for battling it out. I voted the Yuan-ti pick. Friends?

Beren deleted my last apology/post because i took issue with his ham-fisted approach(ahem) to moderation. My remarks are more 'Seinfeldian' (or stupid to some ) and some people take them as confrontational or disrespectful. RELAX everyone!!!!!! Remember, girls love the sense of humor. But then again i don't need to tell a bunch of D&D players tips on meeting girls, right? hahaha! man i got a million of 'em. But hey i'm one of them D&D players too, before you go off and behead me.

I always liked the Guthma battle most, since it was your first hint at a larger scheme, and wasn't bogged down by really hard bad guys. After that it would either be the Banite encounter in Hrothgar's glen, or for stupidly hard, the Saablic Tan encounter.

 

The Holy Avenger fight has always been my favourite, although I'd prefer it if you got a weapon useable by any character rather than just paladins. The first time I got the better of the Lost Followers, it was a real disappointment to find that the only reward I got was a sword no one in my party could use.

 

I have to laugh at a guy who spends his time posting on the board of a game he doesn't play any more, who thinks others are the ones who need tips on meeting girls. Sheesh.

Anyways, I keep replaying the Holy Avenger battle over and over trying to find more efficient strategies to win, so I agree with the fellow above.

 

I would have to say that the Lost Followers battle was the crux of strategy and fun in this game. Simply awesome.

 

It's nothing Sauron. Just take in mind you cannot easily make a difference between sarcasm & being serious on the net. So no big deal.

Isaer & Madae is just the less popular of the choises. Why? I think it's because of the normal athmosphere. No cool effects, nothing. Just a normal battle. Take Sherincal's battle for example. Hers in just exciting, since it's totally diffenent then any other, for it has stairs with the switches. That's what makes it the best encounter, although I prefer the Holy Avenger battle for strategic uses.

Favorite is just Guthma, because it's just a major battle. You can go in and kill. The coolest thing is you can be stealthy and just kill Guthma and run. Yeah...

I dunno...my favourite battle in the game is actually at the beginning; when the goblins attack Targos. I found that to be a lot of fun, even though you're low in level and you have lame equipment. And sure, there isn't any strategizing required, but fighting mobs of enemies is always fun .

I also love the battle when you get to Kuldahar for the first time; and have to fight off waves of attacking monsters. Very cool.

since I've never fought the whole "Lost Followers" battle (I didn't even know about this battle until I read it here on the BoM), I can't say anything about it...but in terms of strategic battle; I found the Isair and Madae final fight to be a bunch of fun (if extremely unfulfilling). Too many battles in this game can be won with simple strategies though; which was a little disappointing.

 

Ah...you didn't have the option for the Crossroads battle...the one where you decimate an entire army all by your teeny weeny self!

 

Heh, I chose Sherincal because I like her character

Crossroads? Is it the part with the harpies? I always like the parts where you fight wars, like Faerus says. they should make a mod for that... It can't be that hard, just spawn enemies.
