do i buy BG 2? opinions req'd.. :) - Page 3

toxygene · 03-21-2001, 06:52 AM

ok, ok,...i went to virgin megastore on oxford st, and they had it for £19...so i had to buy it...

D

basically, even though i used to love ad&d, and used to be a DM, it aint my thing anymore....and after reading the manual...it seems like this game is based on all the ad&d rules..hmm...well, i've bought it so i might as well play it...

played the tutorial - god! theres LOADS of stuff to get yer head round.. and the manual...could they have used a smaller font eh? i feel like getting an old-persons magnifying glass to read this thing!

oh well, enough whinging, i suppose i ought to play the damn thing!

...suggestions on what makes a good first-time character? Mage seems pretty complex...wondering if i should just go for a fighter? And should i be human or.. or...something else?

saw the lord of the rings trailer last night at the cinema...now thats something i'm *really* looking forward to....

glad to hear you are liking it! Here is a checklist of things not to forget to do because you will be spending all your time in the game. Go through this list every night before bed.

[] Did I say Hi to my family?

[] Did I visit the Ironworks forum?

[] Did I eat?

Do this and you should be ok.

------------------
Tremble and despair, for I am power! All here are now judged, and are found wanting.

I am glad to hear that you are getting into it. Please be sure to complete this simple checklist at least once a day to be sure that you are not neglecting your other responsibilities in favor of our favorite game.

[] Did I say Hi to my family?

[] Did I visit the ironworks forum?

[] Have I eaten? (optional)

If you simply do this once a day, you can rest assured that all responsabilities in the outside world are being met satisfactorialy.

In my humble opinion the mage is the hardest first class to play to many nuances to figure out with the spells. Also the quickes to die in a hand to hand battle i know all the 1st person shooters game players try this me included

. Go with a fighter first time through or untill you get the hang of tactics and game controls.
