Advice needed for a first timer.

Hello all.

First off I've never played either NWN 1 or 2 before but have just picked up the NWN2 collectors edition plus mask of the betrayer expansion so now I have them all.

I've decided to play 2 with expansion first and was wondering if anyone could either point me in the right direction or ...

Great Thanks.

I've always thought of and played Minsc as a Fighter/Tank first with back up heals so switching him to a Paladin seems perfect in my eyes, of course he will no longer be able to beserk but thats ok with me as long as it doesn't affect the game with him as a Paladin.

Thanks again.

I've had a little change around and have now settled on this party for my first run through:

Myself - Kensai/Mage
Jaheira
Minsc
Imoen
Aerie
Jan

Obviously that means Haer'Dalis has been dropped but for my first time through I wanted to keep the BG1 characters together.

And choosing ...

Just loaded up the game with TOB installed, the latest patch and most of the G3 fixes.

Now right at the beginning I'm level 7, is that right? I kind of expected to start at level 1 but maybe it starts at 7 as a carry on from BG1 or is it a bug from the G3 fixes?

Many Thanks.

Thanks again everyone.

Loads of great tips here and a lot of decisions to make but the fun factor overrides everything else so getting entertaining party members is foremost, so with that said I've decided on:

Myself - Paladin - probably Cavalier
Jaheira
Minsc
Jan
Aerie
& Haer'dalis

Thank you all.

Certainly given me something to think about.

I've been reading up a bit more and I keep reading that a good party has some combination of 3 Tanks and 3 Mages.

So far I have settled on from your posts:

Aerie, Minsc, Haer'Dalis & Jaheira and myself (To fill in a role I'm ...

Great Thank you Guys.

Jan is in my team then and I'll consider Viconia although I've heard that the Jaheira romance is the best one in terms of storyline - but I've never played that far before so I have no idea really.

I actually do have another question regarding party creation - NOT BEST PARTY though :)

I like to create more than one character at start up so I do the multiplayer trick but I dont want to lose romances or character interactions so my question is:

Question on new game

Hi everyone, I never got around to completing BG2: SOA and am going to give it a go now.

I have the TOB expansion but I have read in several places that there are certain area's in the expansion that once you visit them you cannot go back to the original game, so my question is this:

If I install ...

Thanks, got it fixed.

The new profile actually relates to a new Windows user - dont ask me why but it comes from Microsoft themselves. - didn't work.

Sound acceleration I have already tried and had no effect.

What I did to fix it was to actually get an older Soundblaster driver - I think it was ...

Ok, I've figured out whats wrong.

Soundblaster Card.

I found the Microsoft post about creating a new profile but that didn't fix the problem and I tried a whole host of other supposed tips and none worked.

But disabling Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM) in Device Manager has got it working but obviously ...

Just bought Fable:TLC, installed it and got the Fable.exe has encountered a problem pop up with send error report or continue options.

One other thing I forgot to mention was with weapons you can earn experience by using the weapon. You have to put the initial level into the skill, but you can whittle down the experience points required to increase the skill by using the weapon.

Did some testing of this myself and came up with ...

Thank You once again.

You mentioned Blast Nova being Mage Guild only unless you find a copy, then you can sell it to the Mage vendor and then be able to buy as many copies as possible regardless if you have joined the Mage guild.

Now does that work with ALL the Mage only spells and does this also ...

Thanks, you've opened up a new question hehe.

So some spells can never be bought unless you join the relevant guild?

So I can never learn some Mage skills if I only join the Rogues and Fighters guild BUT there is a workaround by selling tomes to the shopkeepers?

Is that right?

That is absolutely superb, thank you Kathy.

I think I'm going to follow the Rogue, Fighter, Samurai, Valkyrie, Shadowlord path.

Very poor on magic bonuses I know but I will choose 2 schools and focus on them with the points saved from the huge armor and weapon bonuses I get.

Thanks, That sounds superb.

I will certainly read through that post.

I especially like that you include the Rogue class - which is my personal favourite starting class for Identify alone.

Shadowlord sounds interesting.
