I have recently been playing through BG2 and really taking my time. I am still in Chapter 2 and have finally gone to Watcher's keep. After playing through the top level it really got me to thinking about when people actually go there. Obviously there is the Big Baddie at the bottom which requires quite some power to take down, but really the upper levels can be quite rewarding.
Basically, you go in and immediately pick up a potion bag, some unlimited amo and the amo pouch. These three (variably) items really revolutionize the inventory problems with the game, totally wiping out many of the issues that exist. There are also some other items and reasons to go early even if you don't finish the quest line.
So, when do people go, and why? I'd be curious to hear.
