. . . and now for something completely different

I think this board needs a change of pace from everyone bragging about their characters, me included, so how about this.

I've been reading all the info on Throne of Bhaal, and I am sad that it will be the final game in the series. So I got to thinking on how they could improve the game for us, post production. What if they came out with a patch that would link all four games together. I actually never bought Tales of the Sword Coast, and I don't think I will, so maybe they could make a patch that will link any or all of the games together. What I mean by that is you could start BG and have access to any one of the kits available in BGII. You could play through the whole game, and instead of it being completed, it would then jump right to TotSC, or BGII, which ever one you have. If you had any NPC's with you, they would become inprisoned too (I guess if Minsc and Jaheria aren't in your group at the end of BG they'd have to think of something). Then when you got out of Irenicus's prison, you would still have the BG map open to you. This might involve switching between a bunch of CD's, but it would give you the opportunity in BG to pass over something that is too dificult, knowing you can visit it much later on in the game. This way you could create a 1000 hour game that would be just huge. I only played through BG once, and now there seems to be a scratch on one of my CDs, so I haven't revisited the game, so I don't remember everything about it, but I know there were a lot of NPC's that I left behind and a few quests I didn't complete, and it might be fun to have access to them again. What do you guys think?

I think it would be great, but only a dream. I think that having the opportunity of using ALL the NPCs would be great. I mean, there were a lot of nice NPC inside the city of BG. I usuallydon't take them 'cause they cna join only so late in the game......

Only 3 really... (unless you count Yeslick as one of them, but he wasn't in Baldur's Gate), and they were all munchkins.

I don't see why there should be two topics covering exactly the same thing. Therefore I am closing this one.
