First of all:
500 posts!!!. Now multiply that by 10 and i'll be a weasel.

I obviously played a dwarven fighter that went through bg1,tostc,bg2 and soon bg2.
His stats at the end of bg2:

Str:21
Con:20
Dex:18
Int:11
Wis:18
Char:18
This guy's amazing!!!

@ThorinOakensfield

I'm also playing through bg1 as a dwarven fighter (right now I've got two dwarven tanks in the front line with CON 20 - works wonders with their regeneration abilities!). This time I'm playing with an all evil party consisting of NE dwarven fighter (PC), Kagain, Viconia, Xzar, Montaron & Edwin. I found that evil is rewarded to a higher extent in bgi than in bgii. And with all the tomes in bgi I'm going to have a superdwarf by the time I get ToB.

Damn what a feeling ! going through this game once again after so long time

The fights are really harder than in BG2 when you don't have ressurection, mass cure and all other these tools only several magic missiles and small healings .......

Same here
i have spent 100 days and just gotten to naskel.
I hate the fact that when you rest you don't use healing spells with them.
So for 20 hp, you have to rest like 7 days or something.
And the fights are tough.
Very tough.

Now I'm going to escort Captain Brage to Naskhell , killed Basilius, done Ulcaster etc.. 3rd level party (my Manveru has now hold person spell(yes !).

I don't know what to do next : go to the Naskhell Mines or to the Gullykin (to make small mess in these Kobold's dungeon) ?

I should go kill some sirens for experience, and maybe get the tome of constitution (just run somebody in to get the items and make the rest wait by the entrance).
Just an Idea?

i was wondering, for the spirit of roleplaying how many, if any, of you continue on in the stoic fashion whenever an npc is mangled to bits, beyond all hope of resurrection. or do you just reload. i always wanted to try and move on, pay for my mistakes or some such nonsense....but it just never happened. the temptation to reload was always too much

Reload, reload, reload - if I could reload IRL also I would

Let me see... Dragging some NPC's dead ass all the way across two maps into a temple and stashing 30+ items into the backpack and equipping them after raising takes me 10-15 minutes.

Reloading takes me 5. I save often.

I could easily spare the money (had about 100K at the end of regular BG, 200K at the end of TotSC), but it basically comes down to the same thing. Except for the roleplaying, of course. Then again, I get 10 minutes of "spare" time back in which I can roleplay all I like

I started a BG1 game as a thief, finished it and switched to Swashbuckler in BG2 and thats where I am now, in Ch. 2.

P.S. Please kill Noober for me.

Is it just me or does BG1 seem very pitiful compared to BG2?

@ Morlock

You are speaking blasphemy! Baldur's Gate is what started it all!! I find that BG is better in the RPG sense that BG2, even without all the extra doo-dads of BG2!

Nah, just simpler.

I played a Ranger through BG1/TotSC and now she's an archer in BG2:SoA.

I was talking about from the characters point of view - I mean when you compare your 31st level mage with Dragonbreath as your best spell, to your 5th level mage who just got fireball, I mean you do the math.

But of course BG1 is a Great game(to say the least) and is the first real RPG PC game
and one which I have, and still play altogether more than SoA and ToB.
