With Baldur's Gate 3 hitting the stores in a little over 4 months, I figured its time to hit a playthrough of its previous title, Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn.

This is Part 11. We throw caution to the wind and buff haste in all out blitz attacks against the beholders. Then we get captured by an Illithid Hive Mind and are forced to fight for their entertainment, until we join forces with the githyanki that caused this whole mess to begin with. From there, we use some clever tricks to get through the Mindflayers, ending with an "when all else fails, buff haste and put all hope in dice rolls."

3. I can only reload to most recent quicksave due to death of PLAYERCHAR, or to the 1 save file at the end of the previous stream.
4. I cannot reload autosaves, unless the game crashes, or locks up.
