I've been putting it off for way too long

Post by Skuld »

So I finally broke down and ordered PS:T. Lately I've found going back to almost exclusively IE games, and I'm sad to say I'm getting tired of them(BGI, BGII, IWD). So from what I hear I'm saving the best for last. Looking forward to this one for sure. Wish me luck. And you'll probably see me on here a lot.

Good luck, friend. I hope you thoroughly enjoy the game. And, if I may, a tip: I played the game originally as a typical fighter (high strength - constitution). The second time around I poured a lot of character points into intelligence and wisdom, and I found the experience far more rewarding. A high INT/WIS unlocks more dialogue options and gives you a lot more info on the background story. Hope this helps...

I've been inclined to play more magic oriented characters in the bg series, iwd, arcanum and por2 so I'll probably go that route in PS:T as well. Thanks for the tip though. I do remember at least on instance when a WIS of 18 was required to get certain dialogue otions in quests in BG2, so I'd expect nothing less in PS:T. Thanks again.
