Success!

Yes! Finally! I did it! :D I beat BG2: Throne of Bhaal.

This is a big deal. It's taken me at least four abortive attempts to kill one annoying mage who with his dying breath becomes a dragon and pwns my party. But I killed him, and all the other 'big bosses' were a breeze. Ariandre finally laid eyes on that warm and fuzzy part of Hell where the throne of Bhaal (Lord of Murder aka dad) is located! And she wiped the molten gravelly floor with the arse of an annoying pretender to power, upon which she was given a choice: become the god of death and killing things (but in a good way) OR go back to being a mortal with your pansy boyfriend and the hamster guy. Well, what's love compared to an immortality of governing the underworld, I ask! See ya Anomen, don't trip on the lava boulders on your way out!

What a sad feeling somehow, I think as eternities pass by, to have finally finished Baldur's Gate in all its incarnations (for PC). Well, there's high replay value. And there's Elder Scrolls. And NWN2 is out! Maybe not such a problem actually? ;)

Now I just need a PC upgrade. Hasten, 21st birthday! I implore!
