how long has BG2 lasted u? - Page 2

Cerek the Barbaric · 12-23-2002, 03:58 PM

I got BGI and BGII last August. I played a fighter (because I couldn't have a barbarian) in BGI and turned him into a Wizard Slayer in BGII.

I've currently started a second BGII game with an assassin that I will dual to a mage. This time, I plan to run an entirely evil party (Korgan, Viconia, Edwin, etc).

I have also started a second BGI game with a half-elven ranger. I will Import him into BGII and run the "Nobody Loves Us" party (Mazzy, Har'Daelis, Jan, Aerie, Cernd).

So, the answer is that BGII has lasted me well over a year (although I did quit playing for a couple of months) and I don't expect to grow bored with it any time soon.

i got it spring 2001. ive played it over and over again, and still havent gotten bored! i did quit for a few months though, when i played through BG1 and Icewind Dale. after that i played it until morrowind hit my eye, played it through as much as you can, switched it to IWD 2, played through that and now im playing it again with a priest of helm, Viconia and Edwin. i suspect ill switch to bg1 again play through the entire series.

I'd say I have had it for well over 1 year, but I had a huge break for about 6 months. The thing is, I have never completed it! Not once. I was nearly there, but then I had to wipe my PC (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGH!!). I still love it though, and will for quite a while.

PS: It's been better since I found Ironworks!

I bought BG2 years ago and I still haven't finished it. The problem is when I get a new game I play that instead of finishing BG2. I install it every now and then and progress slowly

Last october, just three months ago. I´m still in chapter 2, too much school and work to really play.

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.
