What about the demon guy in the duergar camp? I had to reload multiple times to beat that bastard and that fight is unavoidable.

Well, I'm playing BG2 for the first time, and it took me 29 days to reach Spellhold...I see that puts me dangerously close to "poor" even for a new player.
It took me quite a while to raise 20,000 (I didn't know 15,000 was enough)...how the hell is a first time player supposed to know that the best money quests are the circus and the slavers? It's not like the guard outside indicates it. I did the Valgyar quest, which seemed like it would give a decent reward, but then you find out he's innocent. Exactly the same thing with Fiirkraag...he promises you 10k but then he screws you over.
Another problem I had was that I didn't realise the "haste" spell made you fatigued...and since I used it before every battle, I had the party complaining *all* the time about beeing sleepy & so on, so I probably rested 2/3 of the 29 days before I realised it was the damn haste spell's fault.
Also before I realised the value of scouting ahead with "hide in shadows" or an invisibile character I reloaded a LOT. I'm now at Chapter 6 and my party is around level 14, I did NOT do any of the lairs in the underground, though I did kill the first two beholders to get the eye. I had about 60k when I left the underdark.

Nope, I just played it...she definitively admits that she dreamed PC made love to her, though you have to grill her a bit for it.

Ummm....I feel vaguely ridicilous, it seems I simply hadn't gotten any new journal entries. I played a bit more and got to Chapter Two, and the entries worked fine. I suppose I was used to the frequence of Journal entries from BG1, where you got entries for everything and here I met Yoshimo, escaped the dungeon, watched Imoen get captured and none of these events where apparantly worth mentioning in the journal.
Sorry for any inconvinience
