Ok... you're wondering what my deal is. It's pretty wierd, but i'll try to explain it.

I'm a perfectionist... It's really a sick sick problem to have. My problem with video games is that I can no longer continue to play them, unless I feel like i'm doing everything right.

For example... when I first bought BG2... I made a female elf mage. I was happy playing the game... until I started to read up on forums and spoilers (totally ruin experience for me).

Cause when I started reading about things... I came to realize that I was doing quests wrong... like I killed the bastard who was cheating on Keldorn... and I was TOTALLY mixing evil and good characters. Plus... I realized that having this female mage as my main character may not have been so wise since there are so many NPC mages in the game. I also ended up in ch3 and left so many other quests behind.

It frustrates me more than you think... So I said "f*ck it" i'm starting over and i'm doing it right.

But then when you start over, and you go through the dungeon, you realize how boring it's gonna be doing it all over again. But I sucked it up and did it, until i realized that my new choice for main character sucked, cause now since Viconia is evil, I can't use her cause my party is good... and I want to have a powerful cleric and not geeky anomen.


so i start over with the cleric this time... and i'm playing and playing... (bored as hell doing it over), until i realize how much time i am wasting with BG2 playing sh*t over and over again. SO i delete the game.

Then I month later, i'm bored... i install it again. I make a good barbarian and say to myself "i will do it, no backing out, i will beat the game". I get so far.... I complete almost EVERY quest in chapter 2, I even beat up the gangs that chill in the hotels and talk sh*t. But then when i stopped playing for a week and a half and came back,i was getting mad at my barbarian, he just wasn't cool enough for me. He didn't fit in =).

start over again...
I decided, i'm gonna go ALL evil this time. I make an evil fighter, grab all the evil characters, but it breaks my heart telling on the slave and then going to have to kill him. i just CAN'T be evil. =) But i LOVVVE the evil characters... viconia, edwin, and keldorn.

Now i guess you're wondering what i'm getting at.

I need to get interest back in this game... and devise some strategy for a well-rounded party that I will be happy with. I want to be able to go in and play it... and not feeel like i made the wrong choice in a couple days. hehe cope with me.

What NPCs should i choose to be happy? what main character should i use =P

help... lol
