Thanks for your replies and concerns,i too realise that i havent been so specific as i should have been
Ok here it is.
There are two offical patches but you only need to download the second one becuase the second one has the same and more fixes than the first one.
I have done that already and everything is fine.
However an unoffical patch..the cirle of eight patch adds more fixes than the second offical(and you can craft better weapons/armour) one but there seems to be a problem with compatability with Direct X 9.0.
Since i have installed direct X 9.0b(which was provided by temple of elemental evil) i was wondering if these two are the same and if there would be any problems.
I thnk i should take a risk and intsall the thing anyway and see if it works.
Balor is the boss at the end of the nodes...actually the fire node and hes tough...he keeps casting fear on my troops and i am guessing that if my cleric casts calm emotions before hand that it will prevent the fear from settling in.
When you kill him you do indeed get the gem to put into the orb of golden death.
I have cast loads of other spells like dispel magic..remove fear etc but notihng has worked so far.
Another thing...how can you enter doors which are "magically held."
Do you need to be good at the spellcraft skill?
I too have been very impressed with the combat technique of the game..i think its one of the best but saying that apart from that,diablo2( which is inferior to divinity imo) and divinity i havent played any rgp game so im guessing there may be other versions.
Next on my list is Beyond Divinity!!!
