Some of the content was beyond excellent, though. Like, a text file with a guide to the entirety of Baldur's Gate 2 with location co-ordinates to every single item and interactable object.
I would have never soloed BG2 with a Sorcerer if not for a very detailed and funny guide on GameFAQs. I didn't quite believe it's possible, but decided to check it out. Oh boy, one-shotting (almost, ie. in a single turn) dragons and eventual Wish-spamming, that was really nice. Another guide allowed me to finish "Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader" with pure-mage, again, I wouldn't have believed it's possible but the author did all the math, compared almost all possible builds, and arrived at the most min-maxed one: fire-based mage. It was really nice to wade through hordes of enemies without caring about sneaking, aggroing just a few at once, and escaping all the time. However, one advice there was priceless, it said: "grab a book. No really, grab a book." I've read I think two before finishing the game. (If you're curious: the carnage cost mana, and the game was not designed for pure-anyone, so the supply of mana potions was insufficient (to say the least). Given that the build had like 5-6 times as much mana as normal character, the natural mana regen took like 40 minutes (IIRC) by the end of the game...)
