Have you played BG1? If not I would recomend it, if you can adjust to it from BG2. It has lower graphics, less depth...ect. But still a classic.

Too bad you already played BG2 that is my favorite game and the one I'd recomend first.

I also recomend the Icewind Dale Series, but I'm warning you it isn't as good as the BG Series so don't get your hopes up. Very similar in some ways though.

I agree BG 1 is also a great game to play if you haven't yet. Planescape Torment I'd say next, classic game. Icewind Dale is good too, but really heavy on the combat and not as much storyline, so I find it hard to compare it to BGII. It personally was just too boring and frustrating for me. NeverWinterNights is a good game, albeit different in that you do not have a party, just your character and a hired NPC that you have very little control over. Diablo II is also a really fun game, not like BGII, but just really fun (again you are a single character, no party, but can hire people, although they die a lot and don't return, unlike in NWNs). Sacred is also like Diablo II, but looks much better, another fun game. [img]smile.gif[/img]

How can you get stuck in there? It seemed straightforwrd enough to me... I'm stuck at Carceri myself (how funny, I'm stuck at the prison plane).

On the actual topic I might add that <font size="4" color="ff0000">BUY PLANESCAPE: TORMENT! BUY IT NOW!</font> After that buy the original Baldur's Gate.

Note that only one of your characters needs to reach the exit. Run past the fiends with The Nameless One (he has regeneration), and if someone dies, you can always raise him/her/it.

Yeah, but when they die, they drop their stuff, and most of my charcaters have full inventories..
*Damn, I knew I should have sold some crap [img]tongue.gif[/img]

BTW, what did you give to the pillar?

Hivetyrant 10-28-2004 09:04 AM

Ummm, I told them where the long-named guy was, but thats it. I already knew everything else, and I didnt want to give up my Modron cube :D , or Morte.

wow... y'all's scared him off.

Iron Greasel 10-28-2004 09:14 AM

How 'bout Annah or Grace then? :D
I gave it 15 hp. I'm kinda Lawful Good at the moment, And I'd like to stay that way. Besides, that demon was nice to me. Okay, he didn't really have a choise but I felt a little bad after taking all his stuff. Besides, I don't need the hp, I'm a mage.
