My Sorcerer (BG1 TUTU Mod allows you to play BG1 with BG2 engine):

Name: Hard 2 Hit
Level: 12 (780,000 XP since he was a solo mage)

Strength: 19
Dexterity: 19
Constitution: 19
Intelligence: 19
Wisdom: 8
Charisma: 15

Had all the best items:
Cloak of Balduran
Robe of Good Arch-Magi
Ring of Protection + 2
Ring of Wizardry (No point having 2 since he could already cast 12 Magic Missiles)
Boots of Speed
Staff + 3
Spear Staff + 2
Sling + 1 and 1000 +2 bullets (Had Pouch)
Gauntlets of Weapon Expertise
250,000 Spare Gold

I got all of this by Soloing BG1 only once with him.

Here is mine:
Dwarven Fighter (Berserker in BG2)
Str: 19
Dex: 17
Con: 20 (He had a mean 120 HP in the end!)
Int: 12
Wis: 8
Cha: 10

I rolled a 82, and im up to 86 with tomes.

I gave my wis tomes to jaheira (the ranger/cleric), dex and int to Imoen (for theiving bonuses and to get rid of the annoying cant learn spell thing in BG2). I like the low wisdom, because what wise man would jump into battle blindly wielding double axes (BG2)?

Re: Fav Character
 

Well this forum seems to have had its last post in 2008. I'm going ahead and post on my journey in BG1EE here. if there is another place I should post, please advise.

So I've had the opportunity to play BG1 several times but never made it past the Nashkel mines since something would always come up and I wouldn't be able to spend the time on the game. With the BG1EE, I've made it till Scar in the city of BG and I'm still soldiering through. I am kind of cheating as I am following a walkthrough but in the interest of finishing the game at least once, I think it is a fair trade.

Anyway, I noticed something funny, I'm not able to force several locks on chests despite a 18 STR score. These are chests that contain good loot and I was wondering if it was a bug and if there is a workaround.

Thoughts anyone?

Re: Fav Character
 

Well I got a STR score of 19 and a Knock spell memorized and I'm dealing with the locked chests.

Oh, and my party is as follows:
PC - Fighter mage
Ajantis
Branwen
Jaheira
Minsc
Imoen (who hasnt been dualed into a mage as I wanted to horde all the spells to take with me to BGII).

I'm about to begin the large underground lair in DT and am already getting my posterior handed to me by the greater dopplegangers. Cant seem to take them out especially if there are gangs of them.

If it interests anyone, I was thinking of doing a weekly post of my progress in BGII or IWD/IWDII once I finish this. Seem likes the interest in these classics has totally waned.

Re: Fav Character
 

Or should I begin Dragon Age instead of these games? I've never gotten around to playing it before.

Re: Fav Character
 

Finally finished BG1 for the first time. Very anti-climatic end with it just cutting to the opening screen with 'New Game', etc. Took me a while to discover where my saved games were stored and then to import the character to BG2. But I think that was what it was all about, getting the character to BG2 along with the golden pantaloons.

I'm grinning ear to ear as the music of BG2 begins! More posts on that thread... Cheers!
