The possibilities are out there. You don't have to rely on the talents of Jason, Wesley, and Kevin to make your dreams come true.

I realise that, if i had scripting skills i would make my dreams come true [img]smile.gif[/img] . With that though your essentially your playing through the same events - just from a slightly different angle which isnt going to make the game that much more interesting. Especially when role playing options arent available to you. For instance would a pally really side with the Shadow Thieves (of course he wouldnt
ever side with Bodhi) and be forced to help a criminal organisation? Or would he seek help through another means? And theres still much RPG fun to be had when we get to Ust'Natha. Good RPG mods would give you the choice to do such things. Or perphaps when playing an evil character when siding with Bodhi you could
attempt (ie you fail) to usurp her leadership of the vamp guild. Im sure someone who could destroy bodhi and was a child of bhaal would gain respect from vampires quite quickly so its not unreasonable. This is why i believe to achieve good RPGing in bg2 we need mod makers willing to do the hard task of making quests with different paths to completion (heres an idea: How about learning new abilities from completing quests. Eg: A pally takes the good option and gets immunity to wing buffet etc. That way you might actually
care which route you take in a quest) or coming up with different paths to brynnlaw.
