    Hey everyone,

    I started a game as a half-ogre, since I thought it would be a challenge to finish the game with a character with an intelligence of 4. The problem I'm having is when I fight the thieves on the bridge in shrouded hills, leading to tarant, I keep getting critical misses. It's to the point where i'm unable to beat them, even though I out class them by 4 levels. My stats are as follows:

    Level 7
    strength 18
    constitution 8
    Beauty 7
    Intelligence 4
    willpower 9
    perception 8
    charisma 7

    I also have put one point into the melee skill also becoming an apprentice in it. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Your chance to hit is dependent on your Melee skill. To see the percentage hover your mouse over the total attack button (a dagger with red glow) in your inventory screen.

    If you thoroughly explored the crash site and besse toon's mine you should have 2 stun grenades and 1 explosive grenade. Makes short work of all of them.

    What background did you pick? Nietzsche Poster Child increases the risk of critical failure.

    Man, I've heard of slow and clumsy ogres before, but of one completely lacking dexterity? Now that'd be a sight, alright!

    Houston, err, mooseus, we have a problem.
    No wonder your having problems, your Ogre is stabbing himself.

    When you stick a knife up someone's ass, you should always shove it handle first. That way, they'll cut their hand when they try to pull it out.

    Isn't the anus designed so that it comes with, well, a built in "hands free set"?. >_>

    I trust Nanny Ogg's judgement in this case.

    As in Gytha Ogg?
    With Our Shawn and Our Jason, Nanny Ogg?

    Don't remember her saying anything about knifes up the ass. Unless it was one of the stanzas in "A Wizards Staff Has A Nob On The End"

    No, it's not in the awesomest song ever written. It could have been in Witches Abroad, but I'm not sure.
