Hey Thanx to Ironworks Gaming and ZFR I got the solution to installing BG1 on XP. I am so happy! I came close to playing Bg2 first and that just would have been wrong.

Anyway to the question at hand. Back a few years when I had actually started to play BG1 the first time I had started the game over multiple times for various reasons.(lost save files to formatting of drive, or just didnt like character Etc.) Needless to say I got extremely sick of the start of the game, especially Candlekeep. Is there any recommendations as to how to skip this?
I am not sure if it would be wise for the new character to just leave without doing the measly missions, killing the thug that tries to kill u, the rats, fetching the soldiers sword Etc.(Can I live without the experience pnts most of all?)

I thought of using cheats to give the character a few things to make up for what u miss if u leave candlekeep early and also boots of speed to quicken the beging of the game. Of course the cheats would end there. I think that cheating kindof ruins the fun of the game. That is why that would be a last ditch effort if no one comes up with a better solution.

Please tell me your opinions, Thanx.
