    After a week of dedicated playing, I completed Baldur's Gate this morning (and headed straight for Tales of the Sword Coast.) I've played through Baldur's Gate II like six times now, though, and went back to the original to see what I missed.

    I hate fighting mages - mainly because I know if I don't have them dead within a few rounds, I'm screwed - and that's a universal peeve with both games.

    However, in Baldur's Gate, while I was going through Cloakwood, I developed a near-obsessive hatred of spiders and all things associated with them. The web traps were actually never much of a problem - the spiders and ettercaps travelling in hordes half the time - THAT was a problem. Poison acts quick, and if combined with the monstrosity that is the Sword Spider, it equals dead party member - period. And if the cleric with neutralize poison is the one that was hit - well, sucks to be you. And my usual tactic of 'army o' skeletons' is made useless since the eight-legged bastards are on me before I get the spell cast, and usually end up blocking my escape route.

    Kobolds I never actually had much of a problem with, but, then, I always had 12 skeletons out front that initiated them into melee so they couldn't shoot at me. I do understand now why in BG2 we're restricted to 5 summoned critters at a time. During the last battle all I could see was gnoll, skeleton, hobgoblin, and wolf critters. Don't screw with any mage with three wands of monster summoning.

    Basilisks were pretty easy, too, what with the skeleton shock troops and six party members wielding bows or magic missiles..

    In summary.. Baldur's Gate made an arachnophobe out of me.

    Both Carrion Crawlers and Ankhegs freak the s!!t out of me. That area North of Friendly Arm with the Ankheg Lair has left a permanent scar on my Psyche... the utterances of "Oh look, a lovely open green field, la-la-la... hmm, how interesting. A Pair of antennae sticking up from out of the gr- HOLY CHRIST, WHAT IS THAT THING!?!?! MY GOD, IT'S ALREADY DECIMATED HALF MY PARTY!!!" were a regular occurence for a while.

    Along with most of the people in this thread, I was wishing death upon all Kobold Commandos within a few seconds of first seeing them... :flaming:

    [​IMG] Just remembered the most annoying specific monster. The sirine that kisses you and kills whoever she kisses. I had my protagonist fighter talk to her and so had to reload... right back over the other side of the map :almostmad:
