Looking for a party
Posted: Sun Sep 19, 2004 11:52 pm
Hi, I'd like to make a party that I've never done before. I'd like to use npc's, but I think I've used them all except for Cernd. I'd also like to try out some weapons I've never used before and stick to them. Things that interest me
- spears. I'd like to try out the impaler and ixle spike spears
- foeband. I never got around to making real use of this bastard sword.
- staff of the ram. Something occur to me a long time ago that I could backstab with this, and now that I've played a bit to get familiar with the game, I notice that you can buy a speed factor 1 +4 staff right in the promenade! I just have to make a backstabber that uses these.
- skald. I've never used bards in bg2, ever. During my trial run, the identify was so handy (and saved lots of gold in the beginning) and the song was so useful that I want to stick with him.
- I never used the archer kit either. I don't want to take the archer kit for many reasons, namely that I know it will never be as powerful as a melee character.
- I've never used a high-level bountry hunter
Restrictions
- I don't want to use ravager or axe of the unyeilding. I've used those to good effect.
- I'm tired of berserker/cleric or berserker/mage.
- I want to try and keep the number of characters down while maximizing the number of things I haven't done in the game
Anyone know of a good party makeup that takes all of this into account with tob in mind? I never said much about magic either, but I take it that I'll need a sorceror to come along too. I could figure it out, but I'd most likely screw it up since I've been away from the game so long. For example, I'd probably do something dumb like make a dual ranger/cleric while multi-classing might be better for example. I'd like to try and get as many npcs in as possible, but I'll confess that I think I'll have to take some multiplayer guys along. Thanks
