Well, excuse me GawainBS. I didn't know anything about the manual being online. This is an older game and I'm surprised really to see anybody willing to talk about it.

Sorry. I won't ask any questions, those that might be that easy to find PDF.

A few minutes later: It might be easy for you to ...

I'm not quite sure what you're talking about with this rolling process. I suspect the game system on which BG is based uses a roll of the dice to determine outcome. I didn't get any dice with my CDs. Okay, so that wasn't really funny.

I'm playing my newest game and I'm going through all the way ...

Thanks for the feedback. Damnit, I just built a new character (fighter) and got him to 18 but didn't raise the other attributes. I wonder if I'll get get past the mines playing BG1, with all these restarts. LOL. The attribute counter only allowed me to shave off a few numbers on each, so maybe I ...

Yikes. Thanks for the suggestion to get the patches. I didn't. I'm playing it on my laptop and that isn't connected to the internet. Yes, I knew about transferring characters to the later games. I was originally having problems with the game freezing on my Windows ME and stopped, then bought BG-II ...

I am thinking ahead about what I have in the BG series.

I have the original five CD game, BG1. That's what I'm playing right now. A few years ago, I also picked up (but haven't played) BG-II, The Collection. It consists of Swords of Amin and Throne of Bhaal. I don't think I have any expansion ...

Oh, OK. I get it. In my past character set-ups I've hit the 'accept' button before experimenting there. I played with it last night. And I see the reroll function. It's really tough to pick a character's attributes, not knowing the game. The most common is probably creating a killing machine, but ...

Hi, and thanks so much for the help here. Of course before this was posted I started a new game and have a ranger, which anarchistica says is pretty useless in BG1. Sheesh. I don't know if I can stomach starting yet another game. I do have ALL my characters using arrows and slings. I did get a few ...

Ah, thanks. For me, it's a vicious circle. I don't have the money to buy all those nice shiny protections and the only way I can get it (short of cheating) is to kill things, but they kill me first. I did warn you I'm not good at these games, which hardly dents my enthusiasm to play.

I originally ...

I'm just trying to get through this game once to get a feel for the whole layout and tried to add the cheat option. My computer won't let me do that, using Notepad as the editor. Vista is the OS, and I suspect that might be the problem. I didn't have that problem when I tried this game years ago ...

I love playing RPGs butt...am not very good at it. I used to play a lot of RPGs on the PlayStation 1. Now I am trying Baldur's Gate 1. I tried it some years ago but it was playing pretty rough, screen slowing down, freezing, that sort of thing, so I stopped. It loaded up okay on my new computer and ...
