    Shouldn't Crossbows be 1 handed?
    Like those in the Beowulf movie.
    It sucked but the bows were sooo cool.

    [​IMG] Ranger tips:
    Your stronghold is the cabin in the Umar Hills which is a bit out of the way. When doing that quest don't buy the young lads the ale - you may lose your job (Protector of the Umar Hills) & your pad.
    Do pick up the map fragment in the cell next to Mazzy - you are the only one who can complete that. Keep comming back to your cabin and talking to people to get your class specific quests.
    Happy Rangering!

    Rakanishu: I agree! But I'm guessing that Black Isle did think of this, and that's one of the reasons they had for pausing the game when on the inventory screen (unlike BG1). What they did was probably the easiest/quickest way to handle dual wielding, but as I stated above, I would've liked something different...

    I should think the dual weilding could be easily handled. The quick slots obviously know the diff between one and two handed weapons. When a two handed weapon is selected to be active, the off hand could be automatically disabled (grayed out) Like they do now to disable spells if your fighter/mage puts on armour. Now it would be REALLy nice if they gave us two quick slots for the off hand as well. So we could change shield for weapon without going to inventory. Just a thought.

    Mobeus: Exactly!! That's what I would've liked to have seen (as I posted above)...
