* ---> bad/useless ** ---> average *** ----> good **** -----> really good Warrior ---> **** in BG1 they totally kickass and are good even at level 1. *** in BG2 ( you will face some weird ennemies with magic spells who protect them against weapons, a bit like the immunes in diablo 2, so they are a bit less important ). Kensai is the BG2 subclass the most interesting. Paladin ---> *** in BG1 they are good fighters and make excellent party leader because of their charisma. *** in BG2 if you have high wisdom you will get some low level priest spells  . The best sub class is knight imo. You cant use ranged weapons but you gain some interesting bonuses.Ranger ---> **/*** in BG1, i have never understood what can make them better than warriors. I like them because they are cool for roleplay but well, warriors are better. ** in BG2 same except that there is a subclass specialized in range fighting if you want the ultimate bowman. Priest ----> *** in BG1 because they can wear good armors / they heal / they buff / and they have not too bad hp. ** in BG2 they are still ok but imo they dont get enought good spells at high level  . nevertheless they are still a must if you fight undeads. If i rate them lower it is because i think that a multi mage/priest is more interesting at high level ( more versatile ). The subclass give you a few more spellsThiefs ----> ** in BG1. You need them because of traps. They can steal +1 shields for your party at Nashkel and you can have quickly money to buy the good items but that's all. In the fights they will be quite useless except if you are experienced. So i would prefer a multi mage/thief or maybe warrior/thief. Nevertheless they are really fun to play but they arent the most effective character. */** in BG2. Same problems but maybe even worse. You will lack of hp, AC, Thaco and you will have to face better opponents and bigger monsters. Of course backstab is improved and you will get some nice "one shot" ( especially if you chose assassin as subclass and get X7 ) but overall they arent that effective. Bards ----> * lol i have never played with them maybe their buff is usefull at high level ? I doubt... Druids ----> ** in BG1 like priests but worse ( cant wear good armors ) * in BG2 Mage -----> ** in BG1. They suck a lot at beginning ( few crappy spells no hp, no armor, no thaco ). But after level 4 / 5 they become ok. ***/**** in BG2 the beginning is a bit hard for them ( they dont have the best spells at start and they arent high level ). But at the end of BG2 and in ToB they totally kickass. Spells everywhere !!! Moreover they are really fun to play. Multi -----> **/*** in BG1 Yea they are cool. Yea they are fun to play. BUT WHY I CANT GET HIGHER LEVEL ? ***/**** now you can get higher levels :D. I have a preference for mage/thief and priest/mage. There are also "twin class" but they are quite hard to use if you arent experienced with the rules ( you need to chose perfectly when to change class accordind to the bonuses ) you can get some deadly characters ---> Kensai/thief or Assassin/warrior are know to make the best backstabs. @ Gameguard: you cant choose your subclass in BG2 if you take your old BG1 character. You will have to keep your old "generic" class. This is not really important for mages anyway because the two subclass arent that good. But for thieves / warriors / paladin / rangers it is quite important because some subclass provide good bonuses. | ||

The best assassins/backstabbers in BG2 are Cleric/Thief and Kensai/Thief by the way. Not the assassin, because as a pure Thief subclass it has quite bad THAC0 and damage. The x7 multiplier is therefore not that important. x5 is enough. Quoting a BG2 guru here: A dual-class Priest of Lathander > Cleric dual-wielding Belm and Kundane using Boon of Lathander, Holy Power, Righteous Magic and Draw Upon Holy Might, thrown in with Improved Haste from a scroll or item and the Assassination HLA gets 10 attacks per round, with the THAC0 of a fighter (thanks to Holy Power), a 25 strength, all of which are maximum damage backstabs -- hence you can easily do 1000 points of damage per round in melee -- without a single warrior level. I think it's very cheesy though. :D | ||

What really makes the game great for replaying is the mod community that atleast earlier was quite large. http://www.weidu.org/main.html This pages has some of the best bg2 mods, including custom npc/items, bug fixes improved monsters, etc. I kinda like additions like prebuffing for enemy mages/priests since 99% of players do this themself before hard battles. Some mods like the bg2 tactics mod actually makes large parts of the game insanely hard even for an above average player on normal difficulty. The greatest part of the mods is that you can usually easily pick out which parts you wanna install and skip the rest. Playing modded bg2 both solo challenge or with a normal party gives endless hours of fun, you can also find alot of similar stuff for bg1. | ||
