The Killsword

Remove all ads!

why even bother playing?

why not just remove all the creature files?

look! instant death! wow!

 

Well, when the silver dragons illusion didn't work on me, and the drow attacked me reguardless, instead of starting a new game from scratch, i simply used that to kill them and get the EP. So that it wouldn't have been a total loss. (Wasn't my fault the game bugged out there.)
So yes, there are uses for this tool. Not every battle is amuzing in the least. (my own word) ANyone remember Bards tale 3???? Every damn second you were attacked by a ridiculous ammount of monsters!!!! I gave up SO many times!!!! I just got sick of it. Besides in the title killsword it pretty much say cheat.

 

I wonder if this gets through my sorcerer's Protection from Magical Weapons, Protection from Elements and Protection from Magical Energy? If not so - try it on her and get you ass kicked marc!!!

Then again, Protection from Elements only blocks 75% of the damage, so she would still receive 375 fire and 375 cold damage, oh well... or does Prot./Mag.Weapons protect you from the sword's damage COMPLETELY?!

 

Protection from enchanted weapons works. I've had a lich use it, and i sat there and just swang t'll my heart was silly. It's odd i still can't beat that damn indestructable shadow thief with it!!! The sword dosnt kill him!!!
I think everyone here has to relax a little. It IS a game and WE want to have fun by it. We ALL live in a 3 dimentional universe (Well, i am alittle in a fourth due to certain paper things....) And should all love each other like a family of computer obsesive pholks.

 

As long as you don't go claiming it's not cheating, Mark, enjoy the killsword to your heart's content. It's not my cup of tea, but it doesn't hurt anyone else.

 

Interesting...you can't kill Arkanis with that Killsword? Strange, because I (and I'm sure many others) managed to beat him at least two different ways. He is NOT invincible, and can be killed for sure.
However, killing him will kill the game as well, because that way you won't be able to reach Brynnlaw in the future.

 

Arkanis Gath can be killed only by EXPLOITS (bugs) and by cheating.
One of ways to kill him (cheating) I posted long time ago here when I ought to leave these boards because of flood of cheaters: http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/Forum2/HTML/002859.html

No, you can't kill him with killsword.

Be warned that killing him BEFORE Chapter 6 really can have consequences that will destroy your ability to finish the game.

 

He's very invincible, I'd say. Finger of Death. Watch his soul fly away. Die by his hand.

 

the guy cannot be harmed by finger of death if you work for Aran Linvail.

TGM, you probably waxed him while you were working for Bodhi. He's not invincible then.

 

Wow, this reminds me of myself in the beginning, although i didnt use the Killsword i gave my chars all 25's and the full plate +1 large shield +1,+4 vs missiles and the defender (this was in BG1, so that was the best equipment), then i realized that the game was getting very boring so i stopped. I hope the same will happen for you Mark.

 

Nooo! From my thousands of years of experience (actually only 16) I've found that cheating realllly sucks. Even if you only use the sword to kill a couple of goblins, its still not a good feeling. Cheats ruin games. Without cheats, you'd spend around 50-60 fun hours in the game. WITH cheats prolly only about 10 hrs.

Firestorm is completely right, makes all games damn boring. Plus all your friends will laugh at you. Maybe not.

Then again, its just my humble opinion

 

Possibly we all started cheating at the begining than we realized life was worth living as it comes.
Hey, i needed to try all directions.

 

No pal, I haven't started with cheating so your presumption is not valid.

I know how to cheat, as you could see in many my previous posts. And where had I learnt how to do that? In "Cheater's Corners" here on SP!
Why must almost every single thread contain cheats?
If you think cheating is cool - make a thread that has the title "Cheating is coo!". I won't read it, I won't care about it, I won't flame it.
I respect others that don't like cheating so every thread I started with cheats inside, have it noted in title. Just as I put (spoilers) in title if I talk about them. Do you think that those warnings are for nothing?

And remember, the question I always ask is:
Can you finish the game WITHOUT cheating?

 

yes! i am one of your followers, extremist!!! i havent cheated yet, and i have nearly all the 'best' weapons in the game(except the killsword, of course)!! flail of ages, warblade, carsomyr, the gesen bow, crom faeyr, etc. i havent even attempted to download shadowkeeper!

 

I've never cheated either, at least not in any serious game (games that I plan to complete some day). It's just not fun to play with cheats, they destroy the games.

 

Well, this thread was called "The Killsword." Though some people unbelievably manage to think the killsword is not a cheat, it should be pretty clear to the rest of us that it's going to be a thread about cheating. (-:

Actually, I usually go the opposite direction, myself: I start out playing a game straight, then in later games I start using minor cheats to keep it more interesting for me. In BG2 my weakness is CTRL-J. I can't stand waiting for those characters to slowly mosey across the screen, so I usually just jump them down the pointlessly long hallway to Aran Linvail and across the map to the building I want and so on. But I definitely wouldn't recommend that if you haven't played the game two or three times already, because you wouldn't know which hallway would have a quest trigger on it or something!

 

Well i agree the kilsword is a good weapon, I also agree it is a cheat. It is useful in some situations, but i never use it full time.

 

Heck, if i'd known about the killsword, I would never have gone to all the trouble of making my own stuff. I made a ring that gives immunity to abjuration, so at least *something* was worthwhile.

Now if I can just figure out how to import the killsword into Icewind, I'm set for life...

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ejsmith: Except that Abjuration PROTECTS you its a pretty good idea

Extremist: I have converted to your most holy order of non-cheaters, basically because you are right. (BTW, i Love the way you write coo!, Right now, its fun )
