Baldurs Gate is srs bsness

In BG1, it's like

"ok, I want to be a mage"

Yay, just left town, begining my journey

What, only 7 hp? I guess monsters are really weak right now

A wolf, lets fight it~!

Wolf Attacks, does 4 damage.

WTF?! Thats 60+% of my hp D:

Tactics cheats. It doesn't cheat as much as Improved Anvil, but it still cheats.

I would recommend SCSII over either of them.

I tried tactics (on insane, because why not, right?), and got bored pretty quick when every fight came down to whether I'd make a save/they'd make a save on key spells. Far too luck-based and reload-heavy for my liking in a lot of cases there :|

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but 'oh, confusion landed, time to reload' x 100 is just rage inducing.

I think that you can even without mods ( if i remember correctly ).


I have never played a shapeshifter but it seems to be a gimmick class tbh. Probably fun to play but not really powerful.


I'm playing RIGHT NOW with a shapeshifter with the latest patch installed, and i have a -16 AC with the Greater Werewolf change, and I do about 25 dmg/attack*3attacks/round, plus the spells I could cast if I actually took the time to de-shapeshift, cast the spells (like something of the Archons), and re-shapeshift. I am still level 15, but later in the game, with the "special abilities" you get around level 20, I will be able to change into a fire and an earth elemental, but I don't know how good they are yet.
Just saying, but I think the druid shapeshifters are really good.

Druid's leveling system is broken. Getting out of level 14 takes forever. But every level after that is super duper quick. This is why Jaheira is not a good companion.

It's kinda ok for normal Druids (because they get really strong after the lvl hole)...


But Jaheria is a Fighter/Druid... It just takes ages...

You should know that a lvl 15 druid is 3mil exp. A rogue or bard would be level 24, and a mage would be level 18. So no, druids are terrible.

Last time I played a druid until the end of ToB, I was surprised by how damn powerful theses guys become.

I recommand taking a druid with a reduced party. 3 or 4 members, and then, levelling like a b...

A fallen ranger is a warrior, but worse. That's pretty much it.

Don't become a fallen ranger / paladin.

Baldurs Gate 1 and the expansion is on GOG.com. Sorry if this has been posted in the thread earlier. 15 pages is a bit much

Druids get some of the best Summons (Elemental Princes, and earlyer normal Elements) and tons of good spells... It's really just the level hole that makes them bad in SoA for a large part of the game.


But the really sad thing is... If you REALLY want to play a caster druid (so not a shapeshifter and do not have installed a fixpack for this)... You best go Ranger --> Cleric.

You get all Cleric and Druidspells and some more Weapon points from the first few levels .


Btw: If your rolling Human i would no matter what class start with a Berserker (or Kensai depending on your Goal-Class) and just switch to another class asap... You lose nearly no experience but gain much more Hit and Weaponpoints...
Thief is also good if you don't want to take one with you (the skills you can use at start are enough for Lockpicking and Find Trap iirc).

I'd really like to experience the whole BG experience but i have a pretty big grudge with the D&D rule set. I never really liked all the complexity and "rolling of dice" kind of thing. Do you peps have any suggestions as to how to make it more enjoyble for me so that i can experience the story first hand?

Maybe just some general info or general tips / explanations. I guess what im asking is: get me interested in this game!

So I am in the process of "getting" this game and planning to play this for my first time. After reading through this thread it seems really overwhelming. I am planning to play all the games and use the mod where you can play all the games as if it was one seamless game. I don't know what class to use and also the "rerolling" stats thing I see in youtube videos has me confused. What is the point of that? Also if I want to have a character like a rogue in WoW what is the best combo and what initial stats should I shoot for?

Don't become a fallen ranger / paladin.

Iirc it's possible to recover though, by doing all the quests associated with the class.
If you have to ask, you don't know.

So, with all the interest in BG2 from this thread, I borrowed the game from a friend.

Do I need to read this huge freaking manual to play this game or if I just boot it up and start will I do ok.

I am not really interested in min/maxing but do want to have fun in the game and not get rocked.
