Site problem?

Hi,

For about a week now I have been having problems viewing the GB site. When I open a specific game site, all I see is the news feed but nothing specific to the game. The forums are also half cut off; I cannot see the right half of what should be on the screen.

As far as I know I have the latest ...

thanks a lot for the explanation. I think I understand the mechanics, now I'm just curious about the application.

I guess my main question now is just whether an archer/thief is even a good idea, or if I'm just better off going for the kensai/thief to become a backstabbing machine.

I really liked ...

in your opinion does dualing from an archer make much sense or would it be more logical to just go for the kensai/thief setup?

ok

so do I need to invest any proficiency points into the weapon that I'm going to be backstabbing with (ie longswords) or should I just invest them all in short bows (what I'm going to be using normally)

Like here's what I have so far:

1) Generic Archer (fighter class with tactics mod)
2) Grand ...

OH wait i think i understand now...

Majorman is correct, I really just want an archer who has the ability to open locks and find traps as to eliminate the need for a separate thief in my party.

Given this, does it make more sense for me to start as a thief and then immediately dual to an archer ...

thanks for the feedback guys

So if I dualed, this is what I would do:

1) Start as an archer
2) Put all my points into longbows (ie grandmastery)
3) Dual to thief at level 9
4) Put all my points into long swords (or whatever weapon i would be backstabbing with)
5) Switch back to fighter at 18 and ...

so if I went the Fighter/Thief option, what would be better, dualing or multiclass?

I think I understand the mechanics of both, and multiclassing sounds really appealing, but so does getting grandmastery in say the Short Bow. What do you guys think?

EDIT: Or if dualing would it be silly to not put ...

Evil!

So I think I've decided on an evil PC with:

Korgan
Vicionica
and Edwin

I originally wanted my PC to be an archer (fighter archer from tactics mod)... but I see a glaring problem: My party has no thief. This is a problem because I want to have a 4 person party only!

Is this bad? I've played ...

So which mod is it that lets me be a archer kit for fighter?

And!

Short Bow proficiency or long bow???? And should I invest in longsword prof as well?

EDIT: And are the benefits of being an archer in the tactics mod worth giving up being able to wear metal armor and achieve grand mastery in other ...

Thanks!

I'll check out both those mods for sure.

Why Jan? He always struck me as sort of useless and I've never really used him on any of my runs through the game.

What are your thoughts on my PC being a fighter/archer? I figure I'll use korgan as the tank, vicionica as secondary tank with ...

party help

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about re playing SoA and ToB, but I need some help.

Thinking about going the evil route, since I've always played as good in the past.

PC: Fighter (Specialization in bows, wanted to make an archer but rangers can only be good??)

Then:

Korgan
Vicionica
Edwin

Archer Questions

First... I used Shadow Keeper to make my Archer Lawful Evil; Does this cause him to lose any abilities or is that just when my rep goes below 4?

Second... Which profeciencies affect the archer? Im a Grandmaster with Long Bows, but what about Two Handed Weapon or Two weapon style?

Thanks.

Hey all,

I am almost finished BG2: SoA, I have TOB installed and I have a few questions for all you wise folks here at Game Banshee:

1) During what part of the game or expansion is Watchers Keep accessable? The manual said chapters 2, 3 and 6, but can u still get there while playing TOB?

2) At ...
