The sheer lack of thiefs in baldurs gate really limits me. I hate not being able to backstab effectively. The only class that i really enjoying playing is a kensai dualed to a thief, and this is getting very repetitive. Any suggestions?

Hello Arathor!
Want to Backstab, eh? How about... A Stalker? An elven Thief/Mage? A half-orc Fighter/Thief? A halfling Assassin? A dwarven Cleric/Thief? (backstab with club & quarterstaff) Having Imoen / Yoshimo with you doesn't mean that you don't need a thief, it just means that you can concentrate on those things which the thieves in BGII ignore: pickpocketing, setting traps, stealth. Or, you could just play a Sorcerer... -- Nifft |

Lack of thieves? Well, let's see. You've got:
Jan Yoshimo Nalia Imoen That's more members of a class than any other profession has in BG2. I'm not saying some of 'em are the greatest, but there's much to be said for Jan. Especially after you move to ToB, he can acquire the ability to use any item whatsoever. Factor in level 9 mage spells, and you have one little gnome that can deck a demon in nothing flat. |

I see your point about not wanting to give up the thief....
playing one, or a hybrid of one, as always kept me happy.. Coming out of Iren's dungeon and then stealing a scroll case, tons of spells, large shields+2, full plate, and basically anything your party needs is just too FUN.... I hate how you can't sell back fenced goods or steal from adventurer's mart... but oh well =)

quote: You can fence stolen goods (to fence is to sell BTW- just correcting ur grammer a bit ) you can do it at only a few okaces though... The Shadow Thieves Guild Hall MaeVars Guild Hall (SPOILER- with Gorch before you kill him, or with the new guy if you claim it as a stronghold) Rodger the Fence (in the sewers). There may be other places later in the game aswell.. |
