What are some points in the game that you found extremely frustrating, whether it was your own fault or a tricky/difficult part of the game?


The other day I was merrily toddling along the Unseeing Eye quest. I got to the end of the passage leading to the city of the damned, as I call it. Not having done the quest in quite some time, I had no idea that there was a trap there that casts Flesh to Stone. My barbarian PC was unlucky enough to fail his save, and I hadn't saved the game since I went into the lower passages. Argh.

After that, I reloaded my Quick-Save that was just before speaking to Gaal, and proceeded to wipe the floor with the whole lot of them :D

I would be inclined to agree that accidentily killing your pc on a trap after you havn't saved in a while is one of the most annoying things in the game.

Another thing of annoyance, I hadn't saved in a while, and I went to fight the lich in the bridge district as a fairly low level solo blade. As I was fighting him, he cast gate, then when his own demon started attacking him he cast maze on it. I then proceeded to kill the lich, and tried to hurry out of the little tomb because I didn't have a strong enough weapon to hurt a pit fiend. I was too late, and the pit fiend came running after me. I ran upstairs and it folllowed me, then outside and it followed me, at which point it killed everything breathing in the bridge district. I had to go back quite some time to my last autosave, and on subsequent tries I was unable to kill the lich.

That "Imprisonment" on a PC in a party results in the game ending. You're not dead, your party can bring you back - it's annoying if your PC can't cast Spell Immunity: Abjuration or is not otherwise immune to Imprisonment.

Same goes for the various spells that will finish off a solo PC (like Charm and Maze).

I always disliked Charm ending the solo game - the spell only lasts for so long, no? I don't see why it has to mean everything's over.

The same could be said for Maze, but I more or less agree with that, no matter how annoying.

I agree with charm ending a solo game because basically a charmed solo is as good as dead, if you think about it. The only circumstance where charm shouldn't kill a solo should be if you have summoned creatures fighting.

The imprisonment is a f******g joke. I hate that spell so mch.

Frustration always kicked in at the Draconis, and Abazigal battles. I always felt like I was pounding my head against a brick wall there.

Imprisonment is a pretty damn nift spell :) If its you that are using the spell

Both imprisonment and Flesh to Stone on your charater is a loada F*****G S**T and summin else rude lol, i think it messed up cause guy is not dead he either imprisoned or made out of stone?!? could easily be brought back, im sure the rest of the party would have the inicative to do such a thing?

Maze ending the game is stupid... you come back within seconds especially if you're intellegent. Charm wears off soon, it shouldn't end it. It's just stupid.
