I had a pining to once again play Baldurs Gate 2, only problem was my copy BG2 is not recognised under XP.
So down to game shop i went and bought the whole lot of BG 1 and 2 with Expansions. I also got IWD 1 and 2 and expansions too. (I think that the BG series has been updated to run on XP)

Is it me or is Drizzt a REAL bastard to kill in BG1?? (But has the BEST weapons and armour in the game )

Yes hes lvl 16 (6 higher then you can possibly get to even with the expansion).
He Also has 2 of the best weapons and close to the best Armour in the game. He also attacks damn fast. But there is a trick to killing him where you wont take any dmg . Plus your really not meant to kill him .

Some BG guide I have on my comp wrote:

"Here's a tip I use all the time: The Best Way to Kill Drizzt!
      The best time to do this is when your reputation is 14.  Killing Drizzt
      will incur the same penalty as killing an innocent.  At 14, you only lose
      5 points.  Equip your entire party with projectile weapons, and stock up
      on ammunition.  Have everyone carry as much ammunition as they can.  Ask a
      sacrificial NPC to join.  Garrick or Edwin are good for this purpose.  Now
      go to the area where Drizzt is (S-SW of Beregost) and position your main
      party on the south edge of the small island in the middle of the lake.
      The south shore of the lake should just be visible to them.  Select your
      sacrificial NPC and approach Drizzt.  When he tries to talk to you, lure
      him to the south shore of the lake so that your main party can see him.
      Threaten Drizzt and he will attack, and most likely smash your sacrificial
      NPC into pieces.  He will not be able to reach the rest of your party.
      Select your main party and let him have it!  Because you are low-level and
      he has a high AC, you need to practically rely on critical hits to damage
      him.  After you knock off his 96 HP, he finally falls and you can go get
      his stuff."

    edwardalacey had this to add:

      "KyleEChu's method for killing Drizzt is very clever, but here is a piece
      of advice which might help if anybody has trouble with it.  When I tried
      it I found that Drizzt came around the lake and killed me.  The solution
      turned out to be my "path search nodes" setting.  It was 32000, which was
      enough for the program to find a path around the lake, but when I turned
      it down temporarily to the minimum 2000 using the configuration program he
      could not get round and I could kill him."

      Ed. Note:  You change your "path search nodes" setting in the Baldur.ini
                 file in the Baldur's Gate directory (which should be something
                 like C:\program files\black isle\baldur's gate\).

    Juha Alm has another way to take out Drizzt:

      Killing Drizzt: I know a way to kill Drizzt with no one getting hurt.
      First have Drizzt stop walking by clicking on him as you would talk to
      him. But don't talk, stop and let 4 of your NPC's walk next to him so he
      cant move. Now go stand next to one of them. Remove the NPC from your
      party, and because you're standing right next to him/her, he wont walk
      towards you, only starts speaking. Now do this to the other 3 NPC's.
      After done you'll have Drizzt trapped in the middle of 4 characters, and
      he wont attack them because they are not in your party, and they are
      civilians. Now just fire with magical arrows or take a long weapon
      (spear, staff or halberd) and go stand behind one of your NPC's. You can
      hit over him/her, and Drizzt can't hit you back because he can't reach
      you with his scimitars. And when you kill him with only 1 or 2
      characters in your party, the main character gains all of the 12000 (1
      char) or "only" 6000 exp. with 2 characters on party.
Man I wont to play that game again but I lost my Cd's. BG and BGII are the 2 best games ever. (BG IMO is a little more balanced and therefore better).

Drizzt is definitely one bad ass mofo.

DrunkFace: Don't they have the entire series bundled in a budget pack where you live? I bought the pack a month ago just because of the Throne of Bhaal expansion for Shadows of Amn. Zim seems to have found the same budget pack so I'd suggest keeping your eyes open...
