When you get a mage, get greater malison. Cast it at the annoying enemies, or tough fights, then cast choas, or disintegrate, or anything like that. Works wonders.
If there's a real tough fight, try luring the enemies one by one. Always have at least ONE powerful summoning. Then, when there's a door leading to a tough fight, lure the enemies to the door, and make that monster clog up the door, while ur guys pound away. Makes fights very simple. |

Dual or multi class fighter/thief, put 5 stars in two handed sword and two handed style, then get the thief high level ability use any item, then equip the holy avenger! [img]smile.gif[/img] Also i've found myself to be the only decent thief in the game.

Whenever a battle gets too hard use different strategies and quicksave often. And use this forum if you get stuck. Good luck

Try and stick with a character. I started again about 10 times before I made myself stick with a Necromancer. It wastes alot of time. Also make sure you every quest you can. Otherwise you'll miss out on alot of XP points. I borrowed BG1 of my cousin but I didn't understand how to play really. Used to send my mage into melee for some reason. BG2 is a much better way of learning to play the game. I'm going to have to borrow it aftr I complete Bg2 and try again.
