I found it useful to buy the first 4 or 5 before doing the quests that give you rep points...then do them and you are 20 in no time!

Chau!

You could always use Shadowkeeper to change the sex of your character. You would look female, play female, but prolley have access to the female romances..

Dunno if that would work, but a potential option.

Re-reading your first post Grunt-boy, I agree that making the party and developing a party is more fun then playing with a bunch of annoying NPC's. I have a post on the RPG board that poses a way to actually have cool dialog and still make your party yourself...

Anyway, having played both games I ...

I had a different party...

Ranger
Fighter/Thief
Cleric
Bard
Druid
Mage

That party rocked. I found myself using the Druid to so stage setting spells for the major combats, entangle, etc...Cleric just cast the Protection from Evil and Defensive Harmony. Druid could heal as well. Bard was for ...

I was just thinking about a different way to do character generation that I haven't seen. I have seen stuff close, but never actually work out this way. I think it addresses a couple of the problems I have with current methods.

Issues:
1 - I like making my entire party. I like having that level of ...

Win 2K SP1
Dual PPro 200
160M Ram
Voodoo 3 2000

Runs good, slows down with lots of monsters...

My Favorite RPGS

1 - ARIA - A great complex game.
2 - Torg - Just plain fun.
3 - AD&D - Good Old Fun.
4 - Vampire - Good Dark Fun, great concept.
5 - Cyberpunk - Nothing quite like shooting civilians by accident..

I always thought it was the name of the guy from the 13th Warrior..

I have had no problems with Windows 2000 and BGII. Need win2k cause win9x doesn't support mp..

Higher resolutions seems fubared because of my video drivers, (Voodoo 2000) but 800x600 works great..

I enjoy threads like this becuase it really brings out the verbose folks who loved the nature of PnP roleplaying...

I agree that all of the roleplaying games I have played of late have been 'buffing' up on the items, sometimes at the expense of the content of the game. My two cents on the matter ...

I am not overly impressed with the stability of this game.

Several times I have had the game exit out to Windows with no messages as to the cause. The game just disappears. I had this happen with Heros of Might and Magic III as well because of machine configuration.

I have a dual PPro 200 system ...

Halflings have been around for a long time in a number of forms. In AD&D they are the race of small people that look like humans, just more 'rumbly tumbly'. Not sure what Gynax modeled them after but I always kind envisioned them as Tolkien's Hobbits. Pretty much the same mannerisms.

The Halfling ...

Actually what I meant was whether it was worth playing with room in my party for NPC's or if I could get the same enjoyment from using the six characters I created...

I prefer creating the party myself and playing. Being forced to use one player and pick up a bunch of NPC's was not my idea of the ...

Thanks about the strength tip...That must be the problem...

Anyone have any suggestions on the first question about playing multiplayer vs. single...ie, using NPC's or not..

Thanks again!

And that is about it description wise...nothing equiped...

Two questions:

1 - Is there any point in playing the game in single player mode aside from dealing with annoying dialog from Imoen and the like? I know about the romances and couldn't care less. I just want to know if I am missing something by creating my game in the multiplayer, building my party ...
