In an effort to move through my backlog, and also morph into a snobbish grognard, I have been playing the original Baldur's Gate. so far, I've gathered a party of Montaron, Xzar, Imoen, Kagain, and Branwen, as well as myself, the half elf Bard. I've recently beaten the first major boss, Mulahey, mainly by having Branwen cast command on him and having the entire party kick him while he's unconscious, which is how I've been going about most hard fights so far.
