After reading a challenge thread from @Jaxsbudgie, I decided to perform the challenge myself. Pretty cool idea, check his thread out for the original.
http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/13197/minimal-reload-zero-resurrection-challenge
Here are the rules I followed:
- No reloading except game crash and main character death
- If any NPCs die, they stay dead! No raise dead/resurrect spells for your party members.
Added Bonus (my own idea):
- I put the girdle of sex change on whomever I bet is the next one to die (I "mark" them). I do not act suicidal with these characters, however they seem to die a lot once their gender has been changed.
Here we go!
Start of my first playing session:
- Started, Half-Orc Cleric/Thief
- Got Imoen
- Got Xzar and Montaron
- Got Khalid and Jaheira
- "Marked" Xzar
- Xzar killed by spider in Landrin's House
- Got Garrick
- "Marked" Garrick
- Garrick killed by random encounter skeletons traveling from South of Beregost to High Hedge
- "Marked" Khalid
- Khalid killed by Gnoll Slasher near of High Hedge
At this point I really started wondering if this cursed belt was more cursed than just gender swap, since it really is a death-magnet.
- "Marked" Jaheria
- Main character died at Basillus twice, reloaded twice
End of my first playing session.
Start of my second playing session:
- Jaheira killed by Basillus
After this death Montaron shouted out "Fool! Now we'll need another mule!" I also decided not to mark anyone for a bit in the hopes of keeping my party alive.
- Got Kagain.
- Got Dorn
- Main character died to kobolds in Nashkel mines (right after the spiders on level 3), reloaded
- Tried to recruit Xan, he refused (jerk) so I killed him.
After killing Mulahey, I've killed off two possible Wizards, one of the two bards, one healer and a fighter, I could be doing much worse. I picked my main character as a cleric/thief so that I would always have trap disarming and healing on hand to save my party in emergencies. Dorn is fragile, but he and Kagain might last a while. Since Xan didn't join me, I suppose it is time to mark someone...let's hope I don't jinx it!
- "Marked" Montaron
- Montaron killed by Maneira (exit from Nashkel mines, poison darts....stupid gender belt!!!)
- Dorn killed by Telka (I was going to "mark" him next but I didn't get a chance to loot Montaron yet. Oh well)
End of my second playing session.
I'll update once-twice a week, thanks again Jaxsbudgie for the idea!
