A brand new Baldur game totally original idea

[Merlin Al'Thor]

i've came up with a good idea for a new Bg game, which interferes little with how u chose to end TOB, as it has nothing to do with CHAR1, but still concerns him,okay heres the main beginning, disregarding all the little bits. anyway here it goes: (first of all CHAR has to have picked Mortal and have Aerie as romance). okay the main character is an adopted son/daughter of Imeon and you live in Candlekeep, looked after mainly by Aerie and growing up with CHAR1 son, Qualye. anyway i'll skip the history and say that CHAR1 and Aerie is kidnapped by Edwin and several other powerful Thavian wizards, and a fair few Assassins while Qualye and the protogonist are hunting. So basically CHAR1 and Aerie is captured and the protogonist and Qualye make their way to the Friendly Arm Inn, meeting NPC's on the way. But when u get there and ask around you'll be captured by Iron Throne crones and Imprisoned in BG(the spell) but you'll be freed by Harpers and have to fight your way down to the docks, where you'll promptly board the Harpers ship and sail franticaly to Icewind Dale where the Harpers believe CHAR1 and Aerie is being takened.
Itz a little fast paced i think, but i want to get the story shifting all the way down to Icewind Dale and the Spine of the world instead of the secluded Amn. Well anyway this is just the idea for Chapter one, skipping lines and such but those are easy and will take too much space. tell me what u think.

oh yeah since the complete destruction of Candlekeep may interfere with the overall Coast too much, letz just say many of the guards diead, and some wizards, no sages and such and not much destruction.

oh yeah i'm posting this to cause i reckon playing on with CHAR1 will get way to fake, cause they are heaps powerful already. i'm still working on whats goin to happen at Icewind dale, and i don't know much about the place so itz stuck there for awhile. oh yeah Qualye is a very important character so u can;t dump him (he's a Fighter/Mage/cleric who gains boosted XP and has all the statistics of the Fighter, just to show he ain;t pathectic) and he is a child of Bhaal( umm letz just say when Merlin chose to give up his Bhaal essence, the Solars gave some to Qualye so Bhaal's power would live on)but many think CHAR1 still has a Bhaal essence and thus he;s hunted, mostly by Cyric and his followers.

An interesting idea....The only thing I have to add is that Quayle and the PC are likely to be quite young, say around 8 or 9 years old, since as the children (or adopted children) of incredibly experienced, full-time adventurers, they would be taught the basics of the trade at a very young age. They would probably begin the game at Level 4 or 5.

One other thing: So far, the game requires the user to have both BG1 and IWD installed. Or were you planning on including all the area files and datafiles in your program? And does IWD use 2nd-edition or 3rd-edition rules? One must think about these things.

minsc could have a cameo(as aerie's protector although apparently failed, he might even be an npc) the main problem is that char1, aerie, minsc and imoen would all be incredibly powerful so the kidnappiners would have to be likewise.(making it a very long game or perhaps the goal is to free Qualye's parents and then whup the kidnappers together) I still like the idea. quite a bit actually
