Fastest you can reach Baldur's Gate?

I've been playing BG (with ToSC) again this year, and I've always used NPCs that you can get fairly early (Minsc, Kagain, Viconia, etc...), so for the next playthrough I start up, I was wanting to use some characters that you can't get until later chapters. So I'll want to blaze through the first ...

Well I don't dislike dragons like you do, I do agree that they have been overused. It gets to a point where there is nothing special to them, and you see them everywhere. I definitely think some RPGs should just not include them, but I think it's a case of developer competitiveness, 'I can make a ...

I think it depends on the game. Games like Baldur's Gate would not be as good if it had voice acting for all the dialogue. It would take a long time to listen through it all, and lots of the character from the dialogue would be lost, imo. However, Deus Ex and its sequel did a pretty good job with ...

I would have at the very least five for persuasion, because you should raise scholarship pretty high so you can use all those books, and raising that raises your persuasion as well as research, so it's a very nice bonus. And you also get one charisma from the start, and it costs only 4XP to raise it ...

I just beat this mission today and got the stealth bonus, with a Gangrel and only a level 2 in stealth, so high stealth is by no means required here. You just have to be careful, and Blood Buff if you don't think can make it through an area, really not that bad. The hardest part was going back up ...

Handmaiden will only join you if your male. If your female you get this guy named Disciple instead, who's worse IMO. If you want to get him quick go to Dantooine right away. Sorry about Handmaiden.

Well, I was playing Dungeon Lords until i got on a side track and started playing Prey, which I must say looks incredible on max graphic settings. :D
I'm gonna head back into Dungeon Lords as soon as I beat Prey, which should be soon.

I would say Handmaiden becuase she has access to force powers that can greatly increase her tanking ability. if it wasn't for that, Hanharr, no contest.

I think several games coming out in the next few months are interesting, such as Bioshock, Crysis, Unreal Tournament 3, Hellgate:London, and Dragon Age. Also if we ever hear anything about Baldur's Gate 3, KOTOR 3, or Fallout 3, I'd want them as well.

It was a hard choice, I think Blizzard did a great job in making every race very balanced and fun to play. The Nigh Elves ended up being what I voted for, because the invisibility is cool and the Demon Hunter is probably my favourite hero. It was a close one though.

I had this problem when I first bought the game a few years back, and can't remember exactly what I did to fix it. It was something stupid, and almost by chance, I think, to get it to work. I suggest trying to install it from a fresh boot of your system, and possibly don't use the autoplay, but run ...

Took out my first Firedrake at level 9 with an Elven long bow and archery level 3...it took me about half an hour, but it was worth it for the several hundred thousand experience points, at a time when they were very useful (just got heavy armour/weapons/shield available). After the first one, I saw ...

I like the idea of continuing the story from ToB, where you try and prove yourself as a god or something. It could take place in either some higher plane, Faerun, or both, being able to travel from one to the other. Also, something would happen to weaken you, so you're not a high level character the ...

I personally like the first one better, for the obvious reasons of characters, plot, and atmosphere. The first one had great characters, the only one that was weak was Zaalbar. But in the second, many characters, such as Atton, G0-T0, and Bao-Dur, I didn't care for at all, and I never used...I'm ...
