@Sapphire, congratualations on completing the Windspear Hills module in your current run. I wait with anticipation to see whether you will ever go back and try to get Carsomyr.
It is also very interesting to me to watch you tell the stories inserted by mods that I have never used. Reading your narrative is a good way for me to evaluate whether I might like to try some of those mods myself someday.
Minimal Reload Challenge!

Thanks again! I do believe its very unlikely that I'm going to go back to Windspear Hills and go after Carsomyr considering that I don't even have a Paladin in my party.
Oh? Which mods haven't you used yet?
Last Update on Kalyinara for the Night. This one is a little patchy, because originally I was going to the Cult of the Unseeing Eye quests, but I ended up doing the Harper Hold quests.
After the events at the Windspear Hills, Kalyinara led her group to the Temple District. Where she had heard a man named Gaal talk about the Unseeing Eye, and that all the other gods weren't real. Which upset Kalyinara a great deal since she is a Feywarden of Corellon. Once that conversation was over, a Dawnmaster (I think thats who that was.) asked for Kalyinara's help since Corellon and Lathander were allies, and that she should talk to him in the Temple of Lathander.
After that was over, the group only walked a little ways before a little elven girl walked up to Xan and asked for his help to save her dad. Since, well, he messed with the Artifact of Kozah, or Talos. Then, the Kalyinara led the group to the temple of Talos, and found the girl's father, who was very insane at that point. The next thing that Kalyinara had to do was talk to a Priestess of Talos. It kind of killed Kalyinara to do that. However, the Priestess of Talos wanted her Storm Ring back.
Next, the group went to the Copper Coronet and killed the people who knew where the Storm Ring was. All that they got out of it was that it was with a woman in the Temple of Lathander.
After that, the group went to the government district, and talked to some people from a very bad Elven Organization. (I can't spell it!) Kalyinara and Xan found out that this organization was going to poison the water supply of all the major cities on the Sword Coast. To which Kalyinara and Xan informed the Chief Investigator of that.
On the way back to the Temple District, the group got ambushed by some men, who were poisoning another man named Renfeld. Which Kalyinara agreed to take him to a man named Rylock. However, on the way to Rylock a priest of Cyric showed up, and Kalyinara killed him.
After speaking with Rylock, the group ran into Xzar, and decided to help him with his...Montaron problem. Which made Rylock send us after some mages to kill. Which the group did kill the mages. Once that task was over the group was able to enter the Harper Hold. Which Kalyinara told a harper about Xzar, and the Harper gave Kalyinara a bird that was really an assassin.
Kalyinara led her group back to the Copper Coronet to rest. However, upon exiting the Copper Coronet, a harper showed up and took Jaheira. After a day, Jaheira came back and took Kalyinara to the Harper Hold. Upon reaching the Harper Hold, Kalyinara was interrogated with loaded questions. Which that only ended in a conflct. Where all the harpers, except for Jaheira, died.
Kalyinara - Feywarden of Corellon - 9
Jaheira - Fighter/Totemic Druid - 8/8
Xan - Fighter/Mage - 8/9
Yoshimo - Bounty Hunter - 11
Haldamir - Fighter/Shadowdancer - 8/10

Interesting update, Sapphire. One of the mods I haven't used is Xan for BG2. Was all that business with the temples part of the Xan mod?
I've never done the Harper Hold quest for role-playing reasons. I'm lawful good, and I don't think I would have any reason not to respect their request for privacy. I certainly would never do anything to help Xzar, nothwithstanding that he and Monty always save Imoen and me against our first wizard assassin at the FAI. It's not enough to atone for the depth of their evil and madness - if they needed gold for supplies and food, I'd help them, but I'm not spying on or attacking the Harpers.
Won't Jaheira be angry that you killed all her friends? What is your reputation after that? What in the world did they do to make you want to murder all of them? Maybe I'm missing something here. Was it self-defense for some reason? Do they attack you just because you're a Bhaalspawn, and Jaheira didn't agree with that decision?

Ahh, yes, the Business with the temples, or rather the Storm Ring is part of the Xan mod.
The main reason that I helped Xzar was so then I could tell the Harpers about what he was doing. (I can't remember what mod that is from it think its Unfinished Business or Quest Pack.)
Jaheira isn't angry, because Galvarey asks several loaded questions. Like What does the <CHARNAME> think about violence, and what their favorite color is, and then twists it into he thinks about the Bhaalspawn. Jaheira mainly stands up for the <CHARNAME> because Galvarey asked loaded quests, and wanted to Imprision <CHARNAME>. So really, in a sense its like conflicting thoughts and opinions. Jaheira thinks <CHARNAME> is doing good things for the Balance. While Galvarey thinks and believes that all Bhaalspawn are evil creatures that need to die.

Oh, okay, I get it. It was indeed self-defense. They wanted to use Imprisonment? Brrr....that's the most horrible, evil thing I can think of, my screen-namesake notwithstanding.

Galvarey wanted to use Imprisonment, and during that whole talk I think that he thought that he was speaking for all the Harpers. When we all know that he isn't because not all Harpers believe the same thing.

Okay, so my current run might actually qualify as a minimal reload, so I'm thinking about participating in this thread.
I have a level 13 sorcerer in mid-Spellhold (got the three gems, went upstairs, trying to find the hand).
I have had only two reloads since starting SoA - one was against the Unseeing Eye, the other against Firkraag.
My ranking is low compared to most of you masters: no difficulty mods, core rules, six-member party. I have used Ashes of Embers and Shadowkeeper to give Jaheira the FoA, Anomen has Azuredge, and Keldorn is now using Carsomyr. I realize that this brings my potential ranking if I win this run to ridiculously low levels - could I at least qualify for something more than Novice ranking?
I was going to post a screenshot of my character with his stats, and maybe another or two, but I cannot get a screenshot made. How do I do that? The print screen button on my keyboard doesn't seem to do anything.
If I can figure out how to get a screenshot made, I already have a Photobucket account and all that.
Help, please?
(EDIT: I just gave the following idea its own thread in the general forum; please do not respond to it here) BTW - there's a new idea rigtht there that Alesia might like better than my other idea - could we develop a ranking system with rank titles based on install configurations and in-game difficulty slider and number of reloads? I bet a LOT of people would get into trying to win higher ranks for themselves if they were only competing against themselves for a community-approved title.

An update on Kalyinara, probably the only one for today.
Once the battle at the Harper Hold was over, Kalyinara led her group to the temple district, and to the Temple of Lathander. Kalyinara talked to a woman named Selia, and knew that she had the Storm Ring on her. Xan broke her mind so then he could have the ring to save his, and Kalyinara's kin. (All I have to say is that Xan pulled some Jedi Mind tricks. So, the force is strong with this one!) After that, Kalyinara talked to the High Mornmaster (Not Morningmaster. Sorry about that.) Arval, and agreed to infiltrate the Cult of the Unseeing Eye. Finally, Kalyinara talked to Dawnbringer Sain, and agreed to go find a Sir Sarles so he could build a statue for the Temple of Lathander.
Kalyinara quickly returned the Storm Ring to the Weathermistress, and freed Rotan from Kozah's curse. Then, the group went outside where Rotan thanked them properly, and he promised to settle down so then his daughter would be safe. Rotan said that he was headed towards Saradush.
Before she even knew it, Kalyinara was leading her group down into the sewers, and she came across some...sewer bandits. However, instead of paying their little fee, she decided to kill them so then nobody else would have to suffer that injustice.
After that tiny battle, Kalyinara and her group met an old Paladin named Keldorn. She did not need him for her quest, so she sent him back to the Order of the Radiant Heart Headquarters.
Kalyinara and her group descended deeper into the sewers, and met the "High Priest" of the Unseeing Eye, Gaal, and Kalyinara said that she would go get this rod for him. However, a little bit later, Kalyinara met with a man named Sassar, and promised that she would get the rod and destroy the Cult.
Even deeper into the sewers, Kalyinara and her group came across an abandoned temple, and some diseased people. There was fearsome beast inside of the temple, however, Kalyinara healed it and it was destroyed. Then, an avatar of somesort came and gave Kalyinara the rod that she needed to destroy the cult, or at least one half of the rod. Sassar made a comment about Kalyinara getting said rod, and that she had to talk to someone within the cult to sneak in to destroy the beholder.
On the way to the Unseeing Eye's den, Kalyinara came across an undead city, and decided to wipe it clean.
Then once inside of the Unseeing Eye's den, Kalyinara led her group around finding many Gauths, and Beholders. Until the other half of the rod was found. Then the battle with the Unseeing Eye began. (I had to reload twice. Darn beholder petrification.)
Once the Beholder was dead, Kalyinara returned the rod to the ruined temple, and saved all the diseased people.
Once the group was out of the sewers they were ambushed by some Harpers. However, Kalyinara nor Jaheira could convince them that Galvarey was wrong in his initial assumption.
Lastly, Kalyinara talked with the Mornmaster, and got her reward of 8k GP, and a place within the temple. Kalyinara talked to Acolyte Lara, and started her first assignment.
Kalyinara - Feywarden of Corellon - 10
Jaheira - Fighter/Totemic Druid - 9/9
Xan - Fighter/Mage - 9/10

@Belgarath - Well, first I would probably enable the IMG Thumbnail option, and disable IMG code option in Account Settings under the Album Settings Tab. Then, create an album with your character's name, and possibly the name BG2 added at the end of it. Also, give it a custom URL. Like in my character's cases AyakaBG2, and KalyinaraBG2. Then find the screenshot folder, and upload the screenshots! Lastly, click on the IMG Thumbnail code(it copies it automatically, or at least it should), and paste into the box!
Thats how I would do that anyway...Also, the more the merrier.

@Sapphire, Xan using "Jedi mind tricks". ROFLMAO!! ...Gives new meaning to his Moonblade, doesn't it? I always did think that thing looked like a lightsaber. And Xan as some kind of sad, half-incompetent Jedi, strong with the Force and absolutely, comically, reekingly terrible at using his lightsaber, makes perfect sense, and the idea of Xan conceived that way is going to be making me smile for days!
Seriously though, what was that spell? Friends, Charm Person, Feeblemind, Domination, Confusion, Rigid Thinking...? Or should I just <cough, cough, nudge, nudge> not ask? (irrelevant to your no-reload counter anyway, if you ask me).
Also, TWO reloads against Unseeing Eye's Petrification? Ouch! There goes a rank or two. Is Protection from Petrification from Xan's opposing school? If it is, you either need access to that spell through a party member, or else, are you denying yourself the Shield of Balduran to get a higher difficulty ranking?
Of course, the SoB would not have saved you against the Unseeing Eye, but it would have allowed you to get Jaheira or Haldamir to approach him safely while you kept yourself safely at a distance, and then used your party members to finish it. Is Xan restricted from Breach?
You might need to save the Unseeing Eye in future runs, especially once you try to get your first no-reload win, for higher levels.
BTW - I Wish to you, as I Wish to myself, some means (probably unlimited money, honestly gotten somehow), to have the leisure to play Baldur's Gate and other games to your heart's content, with all the time and health you could want. (That would be an awfully hard one to word properly to get the spirit of it with no horrible repercussions, wouldn't it? Wisdom of 25 and a Wish scroll, anyone?)

Ahh, it wasn't really a spell. He just started breaking the girl's mind. She was trying to resist her hardest, but alas, it didn't work in the end. He also does it again in Trademeet if you have Cernd and Jaheira in the group.
I totally forgot about Protection from Petrification! Also, Jaheira has the Shield of Balduran equipped. I actually had her lead the charge against the Unseeing Eye. Xan being a True class Fighter/Mage he is not restricted from breach. I just forgot to use that too. Haha.
I may have to do that, but seeing as Kalyinara is a Cleric. I wanted to get her original stronghold first before getting the other ones.

Okay, here's my very first attempt at a screenshot in the no-reloads thread. First, I need help on how to make the actual picture appear in the forums instead of just a link. Then, I will have to review my own courtesy-complaint threads about how to make it smaller, and I also need instruction on how to create text links that have my own text instead of just the http. Are there stickies in this site somewhere that answer all these questions?
Thank you so much for your patience.

I don't think that there are any stickies to answer your questions. However, that post above that is under the update for Kalyinara does say on how to make the thumbnails. However, I'm going to paste it down here.
Well, first I would probably enable the IMG Thumbnail option, and disable IMG code option in Account Settings under the Album Settings Tab. Then, create an album with your character's name, and possibly the name BG2 added at the end of it. Also, give it a custom URL. Like in my character's cases AyakaBG2, and KalyinaraBG2. Then find the screenshot folder, and upload the screenshots! Lastly, click on the IMG Thumbnail code(it copies it automatically, or at least it should), and paste into the box!
Hopefully that helps for the thumbnails! I'm not sure on what to do to make the text links say the text that you want it to.

Thanks, I'll study that advice, however, how do you get your screenshots to appear in your posts in the first place? Is that "Account Settings" you're talking about on this site or on the Photobucket site?

Account settings on Photobucket. And the screenshots appear in the post when you use the IMG Code(Full Screenshot, probably don't want to do that)...or the IMG Thumbnail code(The mini-screenshots that you can click on.)
I hope that explained it better...if it didn't then I'm probably not the person to talk to about it. Haha.

I can't find any "account settings" on Photobucket. <sigh>

Oh! You have to click on your account name on Photobucket, and a menu should show up, and Account settings should be one of the options! Hope that helps!

Okay, thanks, I figured it out, very painstakiingly. For me, the trick was to left click on the photo itself within the album, and then the desired options menu came up under the "share" tab, as earlier referenced.
I apologize for the brief (I hope) thread diversion into tech stuff.
Now, to my character.
He had an 18 DEX until he just had to sacrifice a point of it in the Bhaal Spirit battle. Would sacrificing health have been better?
If anyone is curious about my live-cast photos, I have Suzie Plakson (female Q, Worf's baby mama) as Jaheira, Brandon Routh (with a beard) as Anomen, Sean Connery as Keldorn, Bree Williamson (Jessica on One Life to Live) as Aerie, and Justin Bartha (my romance interest
) as Faren.
EDIT: okay, one more tech question that's very important to me personally. (security). When I click on my own link, it goes to my entire Photobucket account centered on that portrait. Please tell me that everybody else sees nothing but the screenshot?

Awesome! I look foward to reading your adventures!
Taking a point out of Constitution is never a good idea. I think Dex was a good idea, since I don't think a Sorceror would need Dex.
Also, I totally agree with Sean Connery as Keldorn. Then again, Sean Connery is like one of my favorite actors. ...Sorry about going off-track there.
I've never played with Faren. So if I do pick him up it will be a learning experience. Also, Xan is Kalyinara's romantic interest. (I think everyone knew that already.) Ayaka's romantic interest during Baldur's Gate 1 was Coran. Then at the End of SoA and during ToB it was Kivan. ...I'm sorry if that was going off-track too.
Also, Good luck! Have fun!

Sapphire, thanks. One of the main great things about Faren is that he's bisexual in his orientation. (The same author wrote Nathaniel, a gay npc.)
Can you answer my security question in my edit, above?
EDIT: Although I think some of the master veterans in here might disagree with me (gods, I hope not), I don't think that anything that has to do with a no or minimal reload is off-topic unless the posters themselves start complaining.
Isn't it really about having threads where we can enjoy reading about each other's games and gain (or lose) status with each other? It should be about community-building, not blindly enforcing rules. (personal alignment drops another point from lawful good toward neutral good.)

The answer to your security question is: I can only see your screenshot. I think the reason you can see your account is because your logged on. :3
Oh! Awesome. I think I may have found a love interest that isn't Solaufein, for one of my characters.
You also bring up a good point, and I think your right about the off-topic things.
Also, your right about your other point.
