I just wanted to say that I beat Sarevok for the first time today. He scared me the first several times, what with his mages flinging magic everywhere, but damn, those wands of monster summoning are outright broken. >_<;; One charge for five monsters to stall Sarevok while you pick-off his mages? My god, why didn't I think of this before!? *angel chorus*<br />
The ending was ok, though...I dunno, I almost felt a little unsatisfied at the end. The cinematic movie of Sarvy's death was cool and everything, (and my GOD, that huge chamber of nothing but Bhaalspawn statues... AHHH!) but then it just ends and sends you back to the title screen. Which is all right, I suppose, since there's the second game to consider, but... Well, if I had played this back in the day, and didn't know that there was another game in the making, I'd probably sag my shoulders and stare at the computer screen longingly. "So... That was it? No resolution? No epilogue? Just...the title screen?"
It probably didn't help that my protagonist got hit with a confusion spell and wandered around doing nothing the entire battle:
Charname: "All right, Sarevok! I'm coming at you! Let's end this, brother!"
Mage: "*casts Confusion* Nope. No epic confrontation for you."
Charname: "Duhhhhh... What am I doing here...? Let's wander to the left... Then the right... And OOH A SHINY BUG ON THE FLOOR! *wander**wander**wander*"
Luckily, he didn't trip any traps. Or kill any of his party members. Or die. *Phew!*
Anyway, now's the time to start all over again with a different character and wait for BG2:EE to come out. :) What was the final battle like for you guys? Was it as epic as you had dreamed it would be, or far too easy? Or did something silly happen in the midst? And what did you do after the battle had ended?
