Baldur’s Gate

i final­ly con­quered Bal­dur’s Gate. Its a damn long game. damn good too. i only have one beef with it: the expe­ri­ence cap. wtf is up with that? the game has a built in mech­a­nism to lim­it my char­ac­ter’s growth!? 89,000 expe­ri­ence is the lim­it, and lev­el­ing up to (pre­pare for con­densed nerdi­ness) an 8th lev­el enchanter takes 90,000. I reached the cap about 2/3rds of the way through the game and then had to con­tin­ue col­lect­ing 2000–12000 expe­ri­ence kills for naught, sit­ting just 1k away from more hit points and more spells. I prob­a­bly could have lev­eled up twice e before the end if the damn cap had­n’t been there. for those of you who actu­al­ly know who he is (i only have the vaguest idea), i killed Driz­zt the Drow with a pack of wolves and a gang of skele­tons. just sur­round him with said sum­moned crit­ters and pelt him with Arrows of Pierc­ing. Do the same thing with Sare­vok at the end and its a piece of cake. not that you care.
