Summer 2001 till today.

Started with BGI and went through with a bard to end of TOB.

Then started a Stormlord, played till I screwed up game with CLUA console (Made Arkanis Gath a member of my party and slaughtered every member of the Shadow Thieves - then Aran would pop up in random places around Athkatla and try to start me on the Aran quest - but his state would never change - terrible bug -gave up on the Stormlord).

Then a paladin.

Then started soloing a necromancer - he is now level 24 and in the underdark - will finish this one.

Got a new comp and networked with old comp - had a friend over and played two player BGII with me playing a wild mage and him playing a monk - quite a lot of fun. I toss a fireball at the enemy, rush in with stoneskin up, trigger sunfire, and then hide in the corner while he beats the remains to a pulp with his fists. We just took the planar sphere after doing Nalia's keep and the Shadow Temple. It was tough going for a while - took twenty tries to get Tolgerias out of the way.

Been slowly teaching myself modding skills. Will have a mod ready in a few months - couple of new NPCs and quests.

All in all, the most entertaining $50 or so dollars I ever spent.

Ok, maybe $70 bucks for BGI/TOTSC and BGII.

Hope it never gets old - wish NWN was more like BGII.
