Some Advice plese

[NoName]

I got BG2 2 days ago and the first day my computer was still getting fixed and just tried the game yesterday. I need to know if a paladin is any good or should I get a kit? And what level do they get to use spells I know their in the manual but I'm lazy

Also how do you get a decent archer when theirs no bows anywheres in the beginning.What other weapon is good for them and what should I have for proficiencies I put 3 last time in long bows but theirs no bows to use that I could find.

Also those little bat things at the beginning. How do I kill them I mean first off somehow my character went blind and was doing nothing and ocassianally Imoen hit it and did like 2 damage. I fought one of them for at least 30 minutes and later died to 2 more of them. What weapons do I use on them at the beginning? When I played I forgot to get Jaheira and Minsc but my character was a archer and used the big thing with the blade on the end it was like called mace or flail or something I can't remember. I only remember some weapons from bg1.

Also for mages and sorcerers and clerics, how do you get anywheres. First off your party has a thief/mage and a druid/fighter so you have already gave up enough arsenal that for you to be a sorcerer or mage nto multiclassed, you wont get anywheres.

I just want to know if Im missign something or if going through multiplayer would help.

I really basically want to have the following characters. I want a archer a bounty hunter a assassin a sorcerer and some sort of paladin and maybe a druid or cleric. Basically all I can think is a paladin making it anywheres at teh beginning do that they can use all weapons and i think all armor.

Also if possible name some good level 1 to 3 spells that are good and I should use when starting.

Welcome, No Name!

Well, I haven't taken my archer thru yet, but there are comp long bows all over the place once you kill various goblins, etc. about three minutes into the game!

As for a Paladin--why not? I'm having a blast playing the different kits and Undead Hunter is high on the list (as in already started the game with a pally gal). I've already taken a Blade (bard kit) thru and she was *kick-ass*!!! I have a wizard slayer going thru now, but I am definitely not enjoying it nearly as much.

Play with it and have fun.

Um in the jailr room where you start the isa bow and arrows from the dead shadow thef right there on the floor. That is the one I picked up for my archer to start when I ran him through the game.

Enjoy the game and try out lots of different options. Ive been playing for well over a year and i still am having fun trying out new combinations and strategies. If youre really into the rpg aspect of the game, then i would suggest playing the game for more than 2 days before looking for all the answers. the best part of the game is in the discovery.

NoName, this isn't a game that hands you victory on a silver platter--though if you want that, ask around for Shadowkeeper, the BG2 editor. Thing is, as you travel about and get away from your first dungeon, you'll discover plenty interesting NPCs to join you, and weapons, armor, and miscellaneous magical objects to accompany you. That's the point about questing, after all--isn't it?
