The age old question....

[Ed]

Now before anyone relocates this to the BG2 forum, I would just like to have the oppions of the experienced gamers in here, as the ones in the other forum tend to be only at the same sort of standerd as me. Thanks.

I am just about to start a new game, having just bought a computer that can finaly run it propperly, and never having finished it the last time i tried (only getting as far as meeting Bhodi for the first time)I'm wondering what to do my charecter as. Could you (or any one who cares ...lol)just put down the pros and cons of each class. I know there are lots of these ideas going round, as i have heard that you cant get a good fighter or cleric etc. But i cant remember them. Brain like a seive.

I would play whatever you want. The different classes are great, but much of the time the opinions of others will not match your own ideas of a good time. Personally I play fighters most of the time. I know others who play nothing but Mages or Clerics. One gal I game with every thursday evening would never play anything but a Monk, given a choice. The point is to play what you want, how you want. Now, I am speaking of PnP (Paper and Pencil) D&D. I have never gotten into BG2 so much that I would know all the ins and outs of the characters in that system. I have the game and the expansion, Throne of Bhaal. I have it loaded into my system right now but, I haven't played it in months. I have never finished the game and probably never will. I know others will be along shortly to give you more concise info. I speak as an old PnP RPG'er.
Experiment with the ones that intrigue you and go from there.
