Yeah so I decided to start BG2 again. Go me. Why? I was watching a film (based on wing commander apparently) and it had either Jon Irenicus or a guy that sounded exactly like him in it. So here I go... my zillionth attempt to actually finish the game. I would find out my old save game since I was on chapter 4, but something got glitched in that and I couldn't advance any further. Shame really, it was my BG1 char with the pantaloons, but oh well.

So anyway I've rolled an Archer with racial enemy of Umber Hulks (god I hate those... though I do wish I could have Imoen as my racial enemy). And for the first time ever I can have 5* in a weapon, longbow, so that should be pretty fun. I've got 18 constitution and fairly high everything else (low intelligence, who needs that and my charisma is only 10) but most other stuff is at about 13 or 14 I think. Figuring I'll go through with just the one pc for now, then if I ever complete the game I may make my own full party. Usually I'd just play IWD for a full pc party but there are no wild mages in that and I've always fancied trying one out.

But yeah, figured I'd keep you updated on if I get further than before, wish me luck! Oh, and Ox, if you have a link for the mod featuring us, please link or send it, I'd love to *finally* see our in-game incarnations.

Go, go for it, pev. We're here to push where you get stuck.
Geez, it cheers me up that someone else is playing BG.

Hehehe, actually, the mod was abandoned by the maker far along the development process. Real shame cos it was looking good and was nearing completion. I DID see our in-game incarnations, however!

While playtesting I encountered them and they were quite amusing. I actually have a copy of the mod lying around somewhere on a cd, but that's without the pathes and fixes. I don't think we'd even get to 'us' ingame without the patches. Kinda like a raw Windows XP install.

Anyway Pevster, hope you enjoy BG2 and FINISH IT!! You really should, the storyline only gets better and better! More Irenicus.

If i weren't so busy for school i would start over myself. Everytime someone starts over either BG or IWD i get the urge to do it as well.

Btw Pev, if you would need the golden pantaloons you could add them through shadowkeeper of course. But since you won't be needing them till you get deep in ToB, just make sure you get there first.

Oh and i assume you didn't install any mods since you didn't mention them?

5 mins? w00t! hehe... i used to dread the CD shuffle

feeling nostalgic myself, maybe the new DVD version will like XP better than the old one, the goddamn slow downs while fighting firkraag...

you get throne of bhaal with that?

I bought the IWD 3pack and BG 4pack, since they were so cheap and well the previous copies were somewhat "from the darkside"

Anyway, my cousin is currently playing BG2 and having a blast. Some time ago i tried to go through BG2 myself but some game interfered, which i have now forgotten because if i cant remember it, it obviously sucked.

BG 4 EVER!
