Bump from page 4 from ex-lurker.
I've recently finished BG2, partly thanks to all you guys. It was thoroughly enjoyable, but I was a little disappointed at the end. My tactics were to sleep as little as I could (I finished in 41 game days), and I decided to try as many quests as I could before setting sail, thinking that there was a nearly impossible battle at the end. I ended up with what I consider a great party but not much of a challenge. Myself (Monk), Korgan, Viconia, Jaheira, Edwin and Imoen were all maxed out with +3 weapons or better. I hardly ever used magic (apart from StoneSkin/Cure/Heal/Summon etc) and feel I may have missed out a great deal. I never threw a dart or fired a bolt. I didn't like assigning weapon proficiency points first time through - how do you know in advance what kinds of useful weapons you are going to come across? I've just started solo as an elven fighter/mage/thief. I'm not sure what weapon proficiencies I should have though. I think I picked ++ for two handed, ++ for long sword and + for short bow (or + for sling). Any other recommendations? |

Gavin here, where's the beer?
I'm really impressed with the fan following of this game, although it's easy to see why - it rocks. I'm playing it first time with a Cavalier, it's been fun so far, only bonehead thing I haven't been able to undo was wacking the curse dude in the sailor's bar at the docks. I walked in and did a pre-emptive strike on the jerk before he could curse Jahiera, and the whole bar turned nasty! I wasted half of them, luckily only suffering -2 to rep but no fallen status, before I could turn off the AI and get my party out of there. Now that bar and inn is useless to me. Talk to you all in good time, Gavin - Consultant, Warrior Gavin - currently 11th level Cavalier. |

I've only been on this site for a couple of months and can't believe how many members are here now! Who's going to be hosting the party when it reaches 3,000 members? Welcome to all who've taken us towards this impressive figure.

Nice to meet you Gavin, Pat, BigRed, Flamer and Jake! This is a great place for help with the game, no doubt about it.
You may want to post questions out on the board with a new topic, though as I don't know how many folk will think to answer them in the Welcome thread! Thanks for the bump, we love meeting you all! ------------------ Raindancer of the Laughing Hyenas Clan Storm-Queen StormCloud of the Black Knight: Heart Mind Soul Forever "To sleep, perchance to dream..." |
