Which style do you prefer???

[The Dragon Reborn]

I like to hack and slash with my expierience capped monk using quivering palm!

[Kronostia]

Single Mage....Firearrows and skulltraps...aahhh pure artistry [img]smile.gif[/img]

I dont know HOW you people can just play a mage and watch your party members have all the fun while you cast spells from a distance. I have never played a straight mage of any king nor a theif. I allways have to be a fighter, fighter/mage or paladiny type person. Love to be a dwarf rinning around peoples legs smashing knea caps with Crom Feyer.

Dagorion..that is the lowest way to play BG(kidding,i only find it booring) ! It doesnt take any skill or knowledge of which spells to use in the proper moment ! which is kind of hard !
Now i know on before hand what to use on what, but in the beginning it is really hard ! So therefor it is a lil more fun.

Tank Rush.

nuff said

Although sometimes for variety or cos of positioning issues i like to open up with a Spell Barrage From Hell (Three mages, Three chain contingencies, Nine Abi-Dhalzims Horrid Wiltings. One dead kobold.) Or maybe a missile salvo or six.

I like playing either conjurer or swashbuckler in D&D, not hack and slash.

Conjurer:
Chain Contingency filled with Delayed Blast Fireball, Horrid Wilting, and Prismatic Spray/Skull Trap

Spell Trigger filled with Chain lightning, Flame arrow/Chromatic orb

Spell trap, fire shield red, stoneskin

All those together= Mass destruction and mayhem.

Thief:
I cheated and, using shadowkeeper, gave my swashbuckler (after beating firkraag and kicking Mae'var butt) the abilities Shapeshift greater werewolf (for the firkraag one) and Offensive Spin (for the mae'var quest)

Shapeshift Greater Werewolf + Offensive Spin= One mauled up hell wraith sarevok.

Using those abilities, I can do around 30 damage each hit, and hit the target about once every one or two seconds.

Edit: Without using those abilities, my Swashbuckler still does around 24 damage each hit, one hit every 4 or 5 seconds.

I have never liked playing with magic users
hack n slash works for me

Very wrong indeed ! You know its real fun to see a WHOLE room of monsters, powerful beholders, evil liches and annoying vampires die when a chain contigency is filled with 3 horrid wiltings [img]tongue.gif[/img] Its fun believe me.

I also enjoy magic, but only if I'm the one using it!

Er... it seems im out voted in this one... except for Waldie of course, at lest SOMEONE aggreas with me. To tell you the truth i have only ever used any of the summon monsters spells once or twice even though i have been through the game at least 8 times. There is just no honour in it. I like to play a cavalier, you can run around destroying evil and still maintain honour in the fact that you were in the thick of it all with a 2 handed sword, swatting down monsters with a manical smile on your face.
