i guess it's more possible to powergame with evil charecters, while still staying in the bounds of role playing, but it's hard to decide what's within the bounds of roleplaying while playing a good char...
i personally do not percieve the export thing as cheating, but i don't do the magekill thing in keep anymore. i used to do a lot of cheap stuff, and powergame my ■■■■■■■ brains out, but throughout this game i have slowly crossed over to roleplaying. then i killed drizzt.. this is mainly because i can't work out my preffered ranger startegy (which i just thought of recently) with anything else, except leather armor... i guess there is still a bit of power gamer left in me. i turned my current game into a dash to get the items i want to work out a fine roleplaying technique suitable for myself. and no, i'm not gonna export 4 full plates and equiv's to hand out in my next game, i have it all planned:
helm of baluran, some cloak that works along with:
drizzt's mithril mail,
drizzt's 2 swords (the non-defender for sentimental value : ))
throwing-returning-axe-amajiggy
girdle of piercing
boots of speed
ring of free action and another ring i can't think of
shield +1 +4 vs ms.
[more stuff i am forgetting]
i have really crossed over to roleplaying, i even removed my 3'r'd prof in swords that i used to do all the time, i'll just wait till i can master (for ranger is 3) in BG2, which i think i can. my charecter is now absolutely pure, not the best but pure.
BTW, you know what's wierd? shouldn't good charecters be forgiving, etc. i hate when that crazy ass helm paladin attacks edwin in BG (the city) i now have 9 rep, and i still need to go through the rest of the game to get the stuff i want, cause i know i'm forgetting something.
BTW, can someone reccomend what i should do with my stash of gold (how do they carry it all) i have a big figure, i forgot what, with a 3 at the beginning, and i have already equiped my mages with robes of alignment, and i baught (shit, how do you spell that?!) the crossbow of speed and the black armor stuff. i d0on't remember the game that well, so etc.... BTW, can someone remind me of the position od basilisk forrest?
sorry about the size of this post rikard,
