I completed BG2 and enjoyed it so much that
I bought BG1 and I have to say it has started
out as a much tuffer game than 2 was. Hmmm.
Strange.
BG1 is tuffer than BG2

It's also a better kind of challenge IMO

Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter. Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the speciality of victims of directed-pressure explosions and of reckless cowards who are so eager to escape that they exit directly through the wall of a house, leaving a cookie-cutout-perfect hole. The threat of skunks or matrimony often catalyzes this reaction.

Yep, I liked playing the low levels. It really made you play more cautiously and think before you act. Those first levels could be very challenging, and I thought BG1 as a whol was far tougher than it's sequel. BG2 has some challenging fights, but at high levels, you can practically put your party on cruise control. BG1 was definitely a work of art. Awesome! I still play the game to this day.

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Thanks velvetfreak. It’s been such a very long time since simple forest fauna gave us reason to pause. *Sigh* I miss those old days.

Yes. It was probably due to the low levels....i remember my first mage (a specialist necromancer): 2 first lvl spells.....
When you gained 1 third lvl spell, you thought you could rule the world!!!!!
