Ironworks Gaming Forum - View Single Post - Advice on New Character

Timber Loftis · 03-11-2003, 04:57 PM

I have played or am playing:

Stalker (NG)(finished ToB)

Thief/Fighter (NE)(dual - Th is later) (Currently seek Rynn Lanthorn)(note this character is not really evil b/c being NE he always does what is best for himself, which is usually the *good* thing)

Kensai/Mage (LN)(dual - Mage is later) (Currently running about 5 strongholds which are keeping him exceedingly busy and have delayed siding with either Thief Guild in Athlatka).

I want to start a new campaign. It will include some mods - maybe TDD (which works with Weimer mods???) My moded version is on another drive, so no worries.

Advice for characters to play?? Cavalier seems cool, so does Archer. I don't think I could stomach being a bard. I'm thinking if I don't play a thief I'll try to use the "Flesh to Stone in Brynnlaw" tactic on a certain "friend."

Anyway, which is most fun? Is a SORCERER fun? Is it too much like a mage? I usually shy away from this because I consider BGII to have a better repertoire of spell-casting NPCs than tank NPCs.

All replies appreciated.
