**SIGH**

It's on the map, folks. I don't know about you folks, but I bought the retail version of BG, and it comes with a map of the whole city, with labels indicating all prominent landmarks and quest locations, including Oberon's Estate. True, some of the labels are kinda difficult to read, but I can live with that. That map and the Game Manual are the best copy-protect BioWare could have done: With them, all you need is a little bit of smarts to build a kick-ass party and lay waste to the Sword Coast, but if you had a friend burn you a copy of Baldur's Gate and you haven't read the manual, you have to resort to the Internet, finding sites with walkthroughs, and posting DUMB questions (like "Is 18/00 Strength better than 18/01?") on forums like this one. Forums should be for GOOD questions, such as why Thieves with low Pick Lock skills seem to do better at Disarming Traps than Thieves with 100% Locks.
