IIRC I used the weapon that let you hack people into fighting for you 
extensively.  I don't remember if I ever played the expansion though.

I did play #2 and got stuck fairly early and only replayed it much later 
after internet was well established to look up how to get past that 
spot, and finally beat it. I didn't enjoy it anywhere near as much as 
the original, something in the changes just lost the magic for me, 
possibly the lack of the hacking people being there or effective.  I 
always love charming things.
