Neverwinters night was way easier for me, though those games are pretty damn long and i just lose my patience. Hahaha perfect summary of my first experience with the game. Sword-Spiders / Basiliks / Upgraded Skeletons are hard to beat. But my worst experience was with the Warrior-Horrors ( dunno what is the exact translation in English ) at Cloakwood mines. I was like Wtf ??? those two dudes raped my ranger, Khalid and Jaheira several times :S. Hopefully you didnt play Tales of the sword cast ( the expansion ), because those moffos are common in the Durlag tower. But seriously when you know the game rules and where are the good items / hard fights the game becomes really easy. I think i can complete the game in one day with one character  . | ||

Btw this is a really bad gem if i remember its value is around 15-20 coins. Try big game if you want to get more money :D. People like white wolf fur in Naskhel. 99% of the Gems in Bg 1 ---> sell to get money. You cant get socket items like in diablo 2 ( however there are a few super gems in BG2 and in BG 1 expansion ). Enjoy Monty and Xar btw ( there are really funny ). | ||

Unmodded BG1 is a bit imbalanced when it comes to character creation. Make a human fighter or fighter/thief with good Str, Dex and Con. BG1 NPCs aren't really good fighters. Sometimes you can make up for their weakness (e.g. give Kagain the Gauntlets of Dexterity so he can actually hit stuff), but it's still a disadvantage of course. If you play solo (also a good idea if you want a challenge, but it's not that hard either because you get all the good stuff for yourself and become monstrously rich and powerful), you should create a Fighter/Thief or Fighter/Mage/Thief (the experience penalty for a three-class-character does not matter in solo games where you get all the XP for yourself. So you'll have a super allrounder). If you have Imoen, dual-class her to an Illusionist at level 6 or 7. She makes an excellent mage (and thief, but you don't need a pure thief in BG as you'll get enough thief points with a dual-class character too). Just make sure you have a backup thief for a while, because when dual-classing a character she will lose all the abilities of her first class until she reaches a level 1 higher than her original class (in this case, until she reaches Illusionist level 7 or 8). As for "where to explore": take Imoen/Xzar/Montaron with you if you want, go to Beregost first (always stick to the roads at this stage in the game!), then go directly to High Hedge (directly west of Beregost) and take Kivan with you (2nd best archer, Coran is slightly better even but you won't get him before much later in the game). When you enter High Hedge from the west side, just follow the path a bit and Kivan will talk to you. He is an excellent addition to your party so early in the game. Then go to Friendly Arm Inn (the bounty hunter there can be tough if you're level 1 and just have Imoen, especially when you use mods to make the game harder he's almost impossible to beat then). Take Jaheira/Khalid if you want. Now do some small quests. Avoid the area to the east and north at first. When you're level 2/3 or so go to Nashkell. Do quests. The Gnoll stronghold is easy and you need to do it if you want to take Minsc with you. Then do the Nashkell Mines. After that, explore all areas to the west. Start in the south-west (easy), going further north as you progress. Avoid the eastern and northern areas because there can be tough monsters (basilisks, vampire wolves, ankhegs etc.). After that, you'll be equipped well enough to do pretty much what you want. | ||

Yeah they're fun... *cough* Oh and @Cloud: Yes low-level mages are really weak but there is one really powerful spell which works damn well in low-level D&D games like BG1: Sleep. Make sure you use that one often. Of course it's useless against higher-level enemies but you can kill lots of low-level monsters easily when using it. Most important spell if you play a solo mage. | ||

.Btw i have never played BG in multi, dunno if it is good that a player who completed the game and a " beginner " play together. If so i will try to not spoil the story, and just give you advice about how to play and let you choose the areas to explore and what to do. If you say: "Lets explore the Durlag tower " i will have to say ok :D. Could be a challenge, because i will join with a new character and because of time issue we probably wont be able to do the Save / load trick to get a maximum of hp. Nevertheless i really dont think that i will have my comp tomorrow, soit will probably be next week .edit Addition to Deadbeef post: you can explore the Southern West areas quite fast but avoid the two coastal areas under Candle Keep on the world map until level 5 imo. | ||

Incredibly underrated and very original. LBA2 ist still one of my all time favourites But at first it was a bit chaotic because I went to desert island before freeing lighthouse keeper. So the aliens were there before they landed.I especially likes the eastereggs like the eastereggs like sucking the enemies out into the space on green moon. Definatly recommended, but don't make the mistake of going to desert island too early. | ||
