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 4. Every 24 hours in Athkatla, I'm attacked by a group of Helm's Paladins, and they lay a whipping on my party. After Doing some fancy footwork and kiting across the docks, we prevail, and I am able to look further into Roenall. I find he is dealing with slavers, then I kill the Slaver Contact Dirth. From there, I head to Roenall's estate and find his smuggling costs. I accuse him and bust Nalia out of jail. I decline Korgan's 2nd Contract, and start to cure Jaheira of a curse put on her from an ex slaver. I find Ployer where we start the fight off by putting 4 arrows in him right away, then exploding him with our buttkicking for goodness! With all side content in a position to stand still, we can finally go save Imoen...

1. Minimize Resting Outside Of Inns
2. I can only have 1 save file, at the end of each stream. However, I am able to quicksave.

4. I cannot reload autosaves, unless the game crashes, or locks up.

6. Core D&D Ruleset Difficulty Or Harder Only
