Question about the BG novels

Alisttair · 05-31-2002, 02:26 AM

Ok I've been wondering something for a while. I haven't had the opportunity to read the Baldur's Gate novels based on the game. So i'm wondering, in the novels, what is the main character's name/race/class?? If anyone out there knows, please tell me. It's really bugging me hehe [img]smile.gif[/img] Thanks.

I've not read the novels and i haven't heard many good things about them.
If I remember well the main character is a human fighter named Abdel

Ahh I see. From the peeks i took in the ToB one (cause i cant find the other ones anywhere) I know that Imoen and Jaheira are in em. But to get the full story full experience im positive you gotta play the games [img]smile.gif[/img]

I tried to read one of those books... maybe I am a snob (my mother is an editor) but I found it painful to read because it was so badly written. You are better off writing your own story... folks here read them!

I know what you mean Charean, Ive read about two of the books and I didnt find it all that interesting.
