I won't get it 'til later in the year, mind you.  A pre-order is good though.

One minor issue... I own all 5 studio albums but one of them is not ReR Megacorps, rather it's the US version.  It's the same CD though... so it's a very minor issue.

I'd like to have all of them as ReR Megacorps UK though.

Not only does he have  4 fighters almost as good as mine, epic magical ability, a pet cleric and another pet wizard and a bloody greater Feyhr for symbol of despair, but I also don't get run-around room. The only plus is that he attacks his own people too, and I have a rogue with evasion.

I've not played IWD II (only the first game so far) but I have played a lot of BG II.

There's a battle in BG II that you can encounter (by choice) very early on in the game, when you enter the upstairs of a tavern.

It's a bloody tough fight and I had a very good troupe as well.  My dwarven fighter was rock 'ard and can solo pretty well... but my NPCs tend to bite the dust a bit too often.

Anyhow, even though the fight is optional (and I could have left it 'til later), I tried my damnedest to finish it without loss.

The tactics I used were tough.  I actually ended up invising my thief I think and using backstab... plus I used my mage spells a lot... it's surprising how useful Magic Missiles are.

However, the key to success in BG II seems to be Silence 12' Radius for some odd reason.

However, in this case, I just hid all my NPCs out of the way and got my mage to throw a stinking cloud and some Magic Missiles in.   Then I sent in my Dwarven fighter to solo the main magic users who were casting mind spells.

Hm, yeah, that's a tough 'un. last time I did that early on, I fireballed the room, actually used defensive spells and potions, memorised see invisibility, got decent arrows and backstabbed the wizard. Fighter/Mage all the way.

Could be less than fun as a solo character, but then you'd need to get the boots of speed early, which are, IIRC, around there.

I'm guessing it set you back 100 quid, then?

Does the box contain all the remastered studio releases as well, or is it all unreleased stuff?

Just unreleased stuff, I believe.

9 CDs
2 DVDs
3 Boxes (one which is an empty box to store the 5 studio albums)

Hmm, maybe it is the studio albums as well... oops if it is!

Yeah, it's all unreleased stuff.
I might have to wait for the reviews to start coming before pulling the trigger.

I just don't think I can pass off a huge box set as something I already own. 

I'll probably make it a Christmas present.

sleeping is for the weak. f**kKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
