So, I was just wondering, where are you in your SoA/ToB adventure, and maybe some cool details. I currently have SoA/ToB, and the fixpack from Bioware installed. No mods, this time.
Spoilers(?)

Here's me: Michael (lvl 12 Fighter/Neutral Good...same character I finished BG1/TotSC with ((hooray!)). My party is: Minsc, Aerie, Anomen, Yoshimo. I retired Jaheira after the Harper Hold took her, she returned, and we went and took appropriate measures. She is at my Keep (De'Arnise Hold) with Nalia, hanging out in the Main Hall. I could have them back in my party if I wanted, but I think Jaheira has been through alot and can retire to my keep and tend to business/help the Captain of the Guard. I wish I could make HER the captain of the Guard!
I did alot of stuff around Athkatla first. I have been to every section of it, but still have some things to do. I have the De'Arnise Hold, and have crushed the Shade Lord, smoked the Shadow Dragon, and made peace in the Umar Hills. I am at a perfect spot (for me). Aran Linvail awaits my arrival! I have intentionally left alot of quests/subquests unopened so I can have her with me for the bulk of the game. I am considering taking 1 more NPC with me, and dumping them when I make the rescue, I'm not sure yet. Edwin is waiting for me, and I might take him just to experience the interactions of an evil egomaniac with my humble & righteous party. I have NEVER had an evil NPC in my history of playing this game, except for a day or two in BG1...Xzar kept talking trash to Imoen, and apparently pinching her butt [img]smile.gif[/img] . He's quite dead now though.
Anyway, I know I'm set for Brynnlaw, and beyond, to rescue Imoen. (I feel I've been decieved, though). My favorite weapons are: Daystar (yeah I slaughtered that bat rastard at the Crooked Crane), the Sword of Roses, and the Flail of Ages. I carry a sweet Large Shield at all times. Anomen loves his maces, +2, and Mace of Disruption, or his sling.
Aerie hangs back and helps everyone with her spells. Minsc and Yoshimo are great archers, and Minsc can dual-wield a mace & long sword if the fit hits the shan. Minsc is my only dual-wielder, as I am old school D&D. Yoshimo has done a great job as a scout/stealth killer. I don't know if he'll be around much longer....considering what I remember from last time...

Where are you in YOUR adventure? What class are you? Alignment? NPCs?
I'd like to know how your BG universe is unfolding...

p.s.- I've been thru the saga once before, but couldn't finish ToB (computer crash (non-BG related) close to the last battle), so I'm cool with general spoilers. Kinda like what I exposed....

Where are you?!?
