A theater company!

You=bard
Haer'dalis
Aerie
Imoen (gotta have her!)
And um... other theatrically inclined people.

And Saerelith is indeed a well written mod. Not my style, but still an ok story.

I simply can't go with no magic. Waiting for some spells to debuff on their own is simply too dull for me. So the no-magic idea is out.

But what I might do is this:
Me: Barbarian or fighter
Jan or Haer'dalis
Minsc (I'd say Keldorn, but I can't justify being good and keeping him in the party for the ...

Me: Barbarian
Korgan
Haer'dalis
Viconia

Not a really fun RP party, since most of them agree most of the time, but still a very powerful combination. This is the party I won the game with for the first time.

Haer takes care of the debuffing, and the two dual wielding barbarians make mush out of ...

In my opinion, every class is a powerhouse at the end. Some are slightly more benificial than others, but every class has clear advantages.

In the start of BG1, I typically have trouble with the mage, as they have very few spells to start out with and no fighting ability. But dualling to a mage in ...

There are two good options... or maybe three, but if I ever played rangers, I would use one of these two.

First, trolls. Trolls are something that you see some of all the way through the game.

Second, goblins. Goblins don't come again after a certain point, but if you make it to that point, you ...

Makes me wish IWD2 worked on my laptop. I'd like to try this mod.

The place I've seen the most Tymorra's loops is in the Fields of Slaughter exit. I've also gotten the loops from later encounters (once, two loops in one game), but have never found one earlier.

I've never found a massive great axe of flame.

I love playing bards, but more for role playing reasons than anything else. Early in the game, bards are good because they gain levels faster than almost anybody, but the THACO of a fighter completely buries that of a bard. On the other hand, a properly buffed bard is really hard to damage.

On the ...

I think that you are having very bad luck or I'm having very good luck. Or perhaps it's a little bit of both.

I'm half way through the first act in my first run through, and I have enough armor that no normal spawn can so much as touch my warrior and my 3 wizards have good rare rings on every ...

Try the link I provided. Download the first available file. I believe it says something to the effect of "slow down fixes."

Install that.

I assume you mean HoF or Heart of Fury mode, in which case your party will be extremely hard to get along with. Melee in HoF mode is difficult to begin with, since most of your enemies will hit you ever time and they will his HARD. Unlike Baldur's Gate, a melee heavy party is much weaker than a ...

And the real answer is (I know this because I can't get Jaheira to survive the last fight for some reason... ever):

The dead character gets automatically resurrected for the final scene.

Yes, there is a Tiax mod. I haven't tried it yet, so I can't support or condemn it... but for that party, he may be worth a shot.

I'm playing a game with Haer Dalis in my party right now so I've come to learn that class pretty well.

A few problems:

1. He's weak, THACO sucks, severe proficiency limitations beyond short/long sword.

2. Improved Bard Song - that's his primary value to a party (see 3)

3. He gets his spells ...

I'm just about to finish a game with the same three bards (me-blade, Keto, H'd) plus Imoen, Jaheira and Yasraena (mod-fighter). For my first hint, if you're looking for a challenge, Yas is not the character to add for your fourth. She has over 70% of the kills in my party (SoA only, in ToB, I ...

This time, I’ll do a more in-format review of an NPC mod. Since it’s just a mini review, I’ll glance over a lot of the points, focusing more on my conclusions:

For my next victim, I choose Keto. I started a game playing as a Blade, and naturally ran into Keto very early in the game. Since the rest ...

I'm not sure if this fits under your category of misfit, but I did run a few atypical parties. Once, on this very forum, somebody brought up the idea of running through the game with a bunch of paladins and a cleric. I thought that was an interesting idea, so I did it. I played two paladins, a ...

I've gone back to playing BG2 in my free time lately, and like many other's who have played it for years, I've explored the character mods. I don't have any of the tactics mods and very few of the quest mods in (all I can recall is the G3 anniversary mod). Now I'd like to add my brief opinion on ...

I have no problem with min/maxing stats. If I could make a reasonalbe character without it, I try to, but sometimes, it's just better to min/max. Take the fighter, for example. It's much easier to play a fighter with 3 18's and very low intelligence and charisma, stats which are useless to a fighter ...

I'll give you the simple version.

Luck from a spell, bard song or item gives you +1 to every die roll in the game. So saving throws are improved, to-hit rolls are improved and whatever else die rolls attributed to the lucky character are improved. Luck is cumulative for different sources, so a ...
