How can I use IWD porttraitson BG ???

And by the way, does anyone know why hobgoblins` normal arrows poison the characters ??? It really sucks !!!

On the IWD portraits: I could mail them to you, but you could also do it yourself. Just play IWD, and print the screens when you've got a large portrait on it (by using the Print Screen button on your keyboard). These screens will be saved into your IWD directory. Now use a program like Photoshop to crop these screenshots, and make sure you've got the right sizes (38x60 & 110x170). If you're lazy and want me to e-mail you this stuff, please let me know!

About the Hobgoblins: try to see it this way; just before shooting the (normal) arrows, the Hobgoblins dip them into a bottle of poison. In other words, they make the arrows poisoness by themselves (the arrows are normal just before they're being fired). This seems to be a reasonable explanation IMO.

Mail on the way

About arrows, sorry but this seems a self-made explanation , though it is logic. Aaah, it would be great if I could buy these bottles in shops...perhaps in BG2?

Petrarcus, can you mail me the portraits as well? I can't seem to find decent portraits which are not scanned off some book/magazine cover. It's not that they aren't nice, but that I would rather associate my character with an unfamilar face than one which I've read about (case in point: Raistlin from Dragonlance and Elminster from the Forgotten Realms). Many thanks!
As for poison arrows, wouldn't it be possible for the assassin (in BG2) to poison, say, a whole bunch of arrows? It would be a definite bane to mages/clerics !!

Adhrael, sorry I mailed you this late but as I said, BG2 consumes a lot of my time.

Mir_ror: I'll send you those portraits too, but not today, it takes a hell of a lot time to send all of them you know. Be patient, or ask Adhrael!

Well thanks for the portraits Peter. I´m sorry but I´m leaving today and I won´t be back till Monday so if I see on Monday that Mirror still needs them I´ll send OK ??

Sorry I´m in a hurry !!

Petrarcus ap Bhaal 10-28-2000 03:50 AM

Don't worry Adhrael: he has them already! No need for you to do a half hour e-mail!!!

Cheers,

Petrarcus ap Bhaal.

Oops, didn't expect that request to take so much of your time. Thanks again Petrarcus !!

Adhrael 10-31-2000 02:34 PM

I say the same as Mirror, thanks for your time !!!

Petrarcus ap Bhaal 10-31-2000 05:15 PM

No problemo guys, glad to be of help! BTW, new portraits for IWD are released monthly on the official Interplay IWD site. Go check out the latest ones, they're pretty good.
