Is there anyone out there who is new to BG?

nephtu · Post by **nephtu** » Wed Dec 04, 2002 9:34 am

Yes.

Me for one!

Though I have played SoA, which gives you a weird feeling of deja vu (or maybe presque vu)... Dynaheir just made level 5, but we haven't found any level 3 mage spells yet

Try the High Hedge area.

I had that problem when she got to level 7, no 4th level spells!!

Evokers are really limited in BGI since most the lv4 spells are enchantment or conjuring, both which evokers are barred from. It's too bad, Dynaheir is a nice gal.

Newbie to the board, but not to the game.

Hello everybody

hello, and welcome to the boards!

@ Ainu,

Nice footer! Either way we are in for it.

Ainu · Post by **Ainu** » Thu Dec 05, 2002 8:31 pm

Thank you Hesperus

In for what exactly?

Hesperus · Post by **Hesperus** » Thu Dec 05, 2002 9:04 pm

Misery, as you say , perhaps likewise for our little RPG PC's

Ainu · Post by **Ainu** » Thu Dec 05, 2002 10:06 pm

Oh, I gotcha.

Yes, we are in for misery.

Ainu are you a big Tolkien fan?

Guys, if you just want to spam in this thread, go to SYM (Speak Your Mind), per the site owner's rules here. If you want to discuss BG1, this is the place.

Annatar · Post by **Annatar** » Sun Dec 08, 2002 7:54 pm

Sorry

Ainu · Post by **Ainu** » Sun Dec 08, 2002 11:24 pm

@Lord of Gifts (aka Annatar): I am a huge Tolkien fan, and I assume you are as well?

To keep this thread on topic, why don't all of us "newbies" post our characters so the veterans can critique them? Old, yes, but so is the game.

Elven Enchanter, Neutral Good

Str 8
Dex 12
Con 8
Int 17
Wis 9
Cha 18

Anyone?

fable · Post by **fable** » Sun Dec 08, 2002 11:50 pm

Why would an enchanter need an 18 Charisma?

Ainu · Post by **Ainu** » Mon Dec 09, 2002 12:11 am

No reason in particular, just the way I wanted to roleplay him. I figured he has many flaws in his stats that he can use his persuasive voice and good looks to overcome them.

fable · Post by **fable** » Mon Dec 09, 2002 12:37 am

If the charisma truly mirrored that in BG1...! The only recent CRPG where I've seen that kind of effect was in Planescape: Torment. Charisma really did make a big impact in how some people related to you.

Well, and the Fallout series, too.

Ainu · Post by **Ainu** » Mon Dec 09, 2002 12:44 am

I agree wholeheartedly fable

I usually like to roleplay the game in my own way too. For instance with a fighter I would just kill Marl, that guy who picks a fight with you in Beregost. With a priest I might just ignore him, but with my charismatic mage I am able to talk him out of his rage.

Just an example

BTW, I loved both PS:T and the Fallout series

Annatar · Post by **Annatar** » Mon Dec 09, 2002 4:28 pm
