LAST EDITED ON Sep-08-00 AT 09:45 AM (Pacific)Yes, you can still kill everything with missile weapons. However, the monsters cover the ground between you MUCH more quickly, usually causing you to switch to melee weapons sooner than in BG. That, and the fact that almost everything has more hit points than a Goblin now, in numbers that rival the gibberlings in BG. 
And that the extremely deadly nasties that are immune to normal weapons can't be downed by a magical bow/sling/crossbow using normal arrows/bullets/bolts. There are a few bugs, but you're not missing much--there is an especially nasty bug though that affects your THAC0. However, since the item generation is semi-random, you might never see the item that causes this bug (which can seriously backfire if the character affected by it gets confused!) It's better to play it unpatched the first time through--with the patch, a certain fight near the end can cause a lockup, and you have to do it ALL OVER AGAIN. Yeech. (If you can't tell, I'm milking the game for all the fun it's worth.)
