You have to go to nashkhel and into the mines. But i suggest before that you recruit khaled and Jahirea at the friendly arm inn.

I think it's easiest to start the game with a class you can identify yourself with. If you like magic, take a mage. If you prefer combat, take a fighter for example. There are a lot of combinations, so just read the description to see which one appeals to you most. This also goes for the alignment and race, though race may limit class options. Keep in mind that multi-classed characters won't be as powerful as single-classed characters unless you intend to take them to BG2.

As for where to go, you have almost complete freedom to move around, the only limitations being your low level and sometimes the storyline. There's no need to go to the Friendly Arm Inn yet.

I think you may want to look around a bit trying to find NPCs to join your group, after which you can indeed proceed to

the Nashkel mines. After that, who knows?

Just realise that you can take all the time you want to discover the area and gain levels, there's noone forcing you to hurry through the game.


One last thing, concerning alignment. BG is mostly build around good-aligned players. You can be vil, but this will not be as beneficial as playing the goodguy.

There's only one rule: HAVE FUN [img]smile.gif[/img]

I find the best way to start the game is to make my way to the friendly arm inn, talk to Khalid, also talk to the lady upstairs. Travel south and find a warrior called Minsc at Nashkel and generally try to explore the area to gain a full party of six characters which i am happy with before attempting the mines.
