Got Baldur's Gate and I disappeared from the face of the Earth

[Jafin]

I got Baldur's Gate two days ago and I haven't been able to pull myself away from it until just now. I've played it all day every spare moment since I got it. Now I know why everyone likes it so much! It's awesome! But now I've gotta go to the BG forum and ask a question, because I don't know what to do.

Anyways, I've been away from the forum but I'm back, until I get pulled back into the Forgotten Realms and be forgotten myself

Welcome back. We said you would would get involved with the game. I played it 21 times. And I posted something that will help you were you are right now.

Thanks for the welcome back, though I think the portal to Faerun in the Forgotten Realms is opening again so I think I'm going to get sucked back in. And I said this in the other forum but thank you for your help! That is going to save me much agony! I wonder how involved I'll get with BG2? That's next once I get tired of playing BG1, which I think is going to be a long time from now!

I thought it was you, since you said you played it 21 times and I remembered you saying that before. Query: Why is it that in the Manual any chart involving levels only goes up to level 7? Is there no real reason or is it because you can't go beyond that at any point?

Yeah I probably should have asked that in the BG forum but I was posting here anyway.

There is an XP cap and you can not go past that. That is why it is like that.

Oh dear, if you cant pull yourself away from bg1 I hate to see what bg2 does to you, rerember Black isle doesn't want to lose any fans so, eat and sleep.

Baldur's Gate II is massive and horrifyingly
addictive. I mean, I bought the game
last year, played it a little, and wasnt too
thrilled.I basically played a little into Chapter 2
and that was it. It collected dust until about a week
ago.

I popped it back in b/c my cable modem was out due to
a storm, and after just a few hours I was terribly
hooked. I look forward to playing it everyday after
work. Usually I can curtail my evening time for real
life things, but I just found myself staying up to
2:30 saying "gotta finish the quest, then find an Inn,
THEN I'll quit..." Sure.... that worked out well, heh.

I'm still in Chapter 2 but I'm having the best of fun,
I can only hope the ensuing chapters are just as good.
Fortunately I have quite a few quests ahead of me
still before I cough up the money to get Imoen so I
wont have to find out just yet!

I love the storyline, I love the richer characters and
their personalities, I love everything!

Why in the heck didn't I notice its potential the
first time I played? Sheesh.

It dominates my free time now, the adventures just doesnt seem to end, and I'm in Chapter 2! (and I bought ToB, man the fun is just beginning!)

Ooh, I can hear my portal to Faerun opening...curses that I am at work!
