Baldur's Gate 2. we will be playing BG2. i find it a much better game than the first. and not just because its a sequel. i like d1 better than d2 (not that d2 isnt a great game or anything).
i lost my BG1 discs. (uh i think, a friend might have them)

its a fairly old game (96 or 97 it came out a little while after diablo) so it should be too taxing on your comp, neither is it taxing on your wallet, its free to play online and you can find the box set of all four games BG 1 and 2 and their expansions for around the price of a single new game, getting all the mods is time consuming though.
whoever hosts the game has to have broadband or any other fast connection, as loading movies and cutscenes goes by the hosts speed.

No thanks...I purchased the collection set for Buldar's Gate II. I will have the cd keys with it. I just need to wait for it to come to my new address from ebay.

man im goin to hav to get the box set if its that cheap. i got dark alliance or w/e for xbox and its pretty fun, playin with u guys would b awsome. ill see if i can get my hands on it.
i would if i were you. we look forward to you joining us.
just a reminder of what has gone down in this thread.
Camaraderie, Adventure, and Steel on Steel. The stuff of legends!
I am looking to put together a 4 - 6 man team as there is safety in numbers, and I am two or three at least, to go adventuring with me, to defeat an evil once banished Elf Mage and get back what was stolen from me, my soul, to rescue my sister from Spellhold, a prison for the magically deviant (this is the prison that Azkaban prison in harry potter is based on), to defeat the five children of the Lord of Murder
if you are up for it for the challenge just reply to this post but beware, you will be travelling with Elfen Lied, you toe the line!, i wont suffer slackers while im heroing! Butt Kicking for Goodness!
i will inform you as to when we are to embark on this epic quest
If you are strong of will and skillful with a sword i will look forward to your company while i am questing!
the bundle pack of BG2 + TOB or the ultimate collection (BG1 + BG1 exp + BG2 + BG exp) are pretty cheap from what i hear, it will still be sometime before we begin on this epic quest. times when all of us can get play are hard to come by.
it is also available in a torrent, though im not sure where, i have a few people searching, they should be reporting back soon though
original i had planned for
1. (me) Half Orc Fighter/Cleric 2. a Human Paladin 3. an Orc Berserker 4. a Half Elf Cleric/Ranger 5. a Halfling Thief 6. An Elf Fighter/Mage
these chars can be found in the attachment provided.
you guys need to decide which one you want to be, the characters are already made the host (the person wit hthe fastest connection) will just assign each char to one of us when we play
that way there are two priests, a mage who can use armor, a paladin and several tanks (chars 1-3), they may be subject to change, but the classes are fairly easy to use and not too complicated. I already have the chars made so we can save sometime but not having to sit there for ages trying to get good statistics.
then the other players join my game and pick from the remaining classes. because well thats how BG2 mutlplayer works. either you all make seperate characters (which takes some time) or the host make 6 char then assigns a char to each player.
there is one issue though, the host needs to have the fastest connection, so it doesnt take ages to load cutscenes and movies. so they kinda makes it so i would be the host. it is still possible to be leader of the group, just not the host, i have too slow of a connection. but as i have already made the chars i can just send them to who ever has thef fastes connection.
so far part from char 1. (me) i dont think anyone else has said yep ill take that char... had a few players but they seemed to have bailed on me.
and maybe Thasador and/or TwilightRealm as an alternatives.
cool thats 6 (8) so long as we all get the game/mods and have the time to play together, like i said earlier this is a social thing, just when ever we all have time.

lol i havent played Core Rules in a while i forget how death works in Core Rules. no revives right?
if you get killed by something stupid like say a party member being "charmed or dominated ealry on i nthe game and we are without the means to reverse it, it would suck if one of the healers in the party couldnt revive you.
so i think Normal should suffice, most monsters still bring the pain, but you wont perminetly die, should you get killed, but we could play it by ear and see how things go.

You can normaly be revived, but if you are struck by a fatal blow, you die permanently.
Example: Minsc has 50 hp total. If his current hp reach -25, he dies. Sounds hard to achieve, but given that monsters do more damage when paying core rules, and that there are some evil heavy-hitters out there (Beholders, Dragons, Kangaxx) late-game can screw you up royally.The spell-casters are the worst ones, since unless you make a saving throw you can be hurt very badly.
Also, if you get pertrified and then shattered, no reviving in core rules.
I think we should play without that, seeing as all of us haven't even played before.

that why i said Normal should suffice. i had it when the spell casters cause you to die, either from a big spell or confusing some one with a powerful weapon.

1. (me) Half Orc Fighter/Cleric 2. a Human Paladin 3. an Orc Berserker 4. a Half Elf Cleric/Ranger 5. a Halfling Thief 6. An Elf Fighter/Mage
1. Great class from what I remember, but isn't is mostly for soloing? Though I guess that means survivability is high.
2. Carsomyr alone should justify this, bute ven without that a paladin is a great class.
3. Great class, no cpmplaints.
4. Clerics can have heavy armor as it is, why would the Cleric need a Ranger class too?
5. Just so long as we get a pure thief, I'm happy.
6. True, he can wear armor, but he's a multiclass. That means he'll never reach beyond level 20 in either class, and I think we should have at least on good spellcaster in the team. How about switching that to a double-class, starting out as a figher for a couple of levels and then dual-classing to a mage for the remaining +30 levels?

cleric ranger is thought by some to be the most powerful class in the game. powerful fighter with access to both cleric and druid spells and the ability to wear heavy armor.
yeh multiclasses get stinged abit on the EXP but they pretty much make up for it in the abilities, its only really multiclasses mages that are the problem, mages they are slow to level up anyway, but with fighter mages they can use more weapons than just crappy darts, slings and daggers, you can use virtually any item you wish, until you get the staff of the magi that is.
ive thought about single class mages, actually being able to use the good spells eariler, but being able to use armor in later stages of TOB is really useful.
im not a big fan of the dual class, you want to dual around lvl 13, jsut to get the last few bonuses for the class before switching, any later than that puts you at a serious disadvantage your old skills wand weapons dont become avaiable until your new class surpasses your old one, a lvl 13 fighter duals to a mage, he must reach lvl 14 in his mage class to regain his fighter abilites.
the classes are still pretty much undecided, i just went with those classes/races as i know the classes pretty well, and its a good mix of classes and abilities.
