    One of my minor dissappointments were Spellhold. You hear all this talk about how scarry that place is, noone has ever came out, and so on. But when you get there, the cells are only on one or two levels. It didnt seem that ALL POWERFUL as I imagined, but sure there was an underground maze, but it wasnt that great above ground. Any other dissapointments?

    No. The game didn't really hype it all that much so I didn't have any reason to.

    I enjoyed the Spellhold Maze/Dungeon, especially the test of clarity and so forth. Heh, and the magically deviant loonies gave me a pretty good laugh, especially Tiax:

    "This is Tiax, he was found raving on the side of some road, obviously a danger as you can see"

    "Tiax rules all, you are but grease for the wheels of his rule!"

    LOL! :D

    I have to addmit that I was expecting something much bigger. 7 wizards locked up isn't what I call much, think how cool it would be with a 20 floors big asylum with 200 wizards att every level. :rolleyes:

    I did think spellhold was going to be alot harder.I liked the dungeon but thought it fell short of a place that was supposed to hold some of the most dangerouse mages around.

    I never found Tiax in BG. Where is he?

    Back on topic, Irenicus wasn't nearly as hard as I thought he would be in the final battle. Neither was Watcher's Keep.
