I have finally completed BG1! I first started the game in December 1999 and 2.25 years later I have finally completed it. Admittedly the following have contributed to long delays in my progress: Work, Studying, Moving House and of course Durlags Tower!
Anyway, the game was brilliant and is the best RPG that I have played since Ultima 7. What enhances the experience is that there is an online community to share knowledge with and learn from. It is now time for me to finally install BG2, believe it or not that game has been on myself for a year now! I guess that I will be migrating to the BG2 board soon so bye for now. D.

LOL! How Often Did You Play!?
![]() ![]() Maybe You May Want To Try IWD, ToTSC Or DSOTSC Before You Play BGII!

I did play TotSC - I said that Durlags contributed to my delays.

I started my first game of BG1 with a ranger directly after the game was published in Germany. I played till chapter 4 and stopped then. I started again, when I got TotSC, played till chapter two or 3 and stopped again. I started the 3rd time, again as a ranger, when I bought BG2, because I wanted to transfer my char. This was the first time, I finished BG1 and TotSC. I then transfered the char in BG2 and played there till chapter 2. I stopped again. When TOB was released, I started again with BG1, this time with a Paladin, finished BG1, started BG2, where I am now at chapter 5. Unfortunatly, I cannot play for another 3 weeks (8 weeks without BG are just behind me). When I am back at home, I plan to start over again in BG1 with a mage/thief or a druid, I am not sure yet.
And, hopefully, this time I will finish the saga. When not this time, then perhaps with the bard or fighter/cleric, I plan to bring through the saga next ![]() |

Nice coincidence. I finished my first BG1 game just few hours ago. It took me about three months and Im feeling good. (played ca. 4 hours at time and twice a week).
What do you guys think about the ending? On the other hand the scene of happenings was great, the whole story was great and there was the right feeling all the time, but on the other hand it was a bit disappointing being the game ended like rat´s flight after you´d taken enough life points away from Sarevok, while he was still standing on his feet and had his comrades around. But I´m feeling good, and I´ve got left this warm feeling.. I want more games taking place at Sword Coast. I hope BG2 has as good athmosphere as this one.

I dont really have time to play IWD etc. Judging by my current performance it will be 2004 before I finish my first game of BG2.
I completed BG1 with the first character that I created - a human fighter. I think that I am going to ditch him for BG2 and start with a Paladin (Cavalier).

quote: The final battle was an anticlimax for me too (as was the ending of TotSC). I thought that they could have depicted something a bit more dramatic using the game engine rather than cutting to a video sequence. Minor niggle sfor an otherwise excellent game though!

The best game ending I've seen so far was in a
Nintendo game called Dragon Warrior. After you finished the final quest, the game remained functional, and you could walk around the whole world...and every single character had a Congratulations dialog, each telling you in a unique way how cool and mighty you were. Hours of ego-stroking. My kind of ending. |
