Old Flames

Do you have stashed away somewhere an old character that you've played over and over again that always holds a soft spot for you? It's quite possible that I'm the only one, but I have a halfling thief named Arenon who's been around the block gawd knows how many times, then been brushed off and brought out of the box occasionally after his retirement. Then of course, I imported him into BG SoA and took him to whole new levels, but the old BG1 char file still holds a place in my heart...

 

Yeah, I've got a human Fighter/Mage named Kammesennin who's "been around the block gawd knows how many times". Been using him since 1997, and no matter how many times I switch PC I keep using him one way or another.

 

Humm not in BG, but in Pen and Paper my good olde
Ugrrrh! The 5'' 90lbs wild/High elf Barbarian (a wild elf father with high elf mother) who got a pet flower named '' Marguerite '' Ahh cool character...
Well I supose I could make use Tutu to make this fine elven barbarian

 

I've got an young human paladin by the name of Ivan the Great (don't laugh ) which was my first BG character. When I feel the need to seriously smite evil in the realms I call upon his shiny armor and trusted sword'to aid me in this. He does a great job at this. Although I have used him since '99 he hasn't aged a bit, I wonder why

 

@Drugar - Are you kidding? Take a look here:

What a coincidence, my first BG character was named same way!!

 

Grumpi: no, I'm not kidding!

That truely is a coincidence. I think Ivan the Great is a populair name among fighters.

 

I sold my computer and recently upload the BG series onto my wife's computer. I just started playing the series again and I have to say it is just as fun as it was when I first played it, especially since I can transfer my guy over to BG2 and have him level him up unlike BG1.

 

I never mentioned my own character did I? He's a halfling Thief called Arenon, and he's been going since '98. I've completed all three games with him countless times, but I always seem to end up playing as him again. I guess it's hard to go back to 1st level again after being invincible...

 

I have a character from P&P, an Elf ranger named Cewander. PLayed him for some good 5 years in P&P, later he has been my main character in almost all my games of BG1, Bg2, IWD1, IWD2, and ToEE usually combined with a few of the other characters i have played with in P&P and such. For some reason its only funnny to play characters i have made in P&P, non P&P characters grow so boring.

 

An easily dislikeable antisocial arrogant Cleric named Kiven Tor. ever since I created him I find ways to bring him into other games.

 

Kind of. I have two; the first being Krentaris Alia'madar, my (originally half) elven Fighter/Mage multiclass, that I delight in taking through AD&D games of all descriptiong and depictions. Since erm... well, shortly after I got the game. 2000 maybe. His story is quite a long and complicated one, and part of it even filtered into my school work. The character relates in a strange, kind-of epic but very un-D&D like way to...

Seburulcos, the human sorcerer. The original was the character that swept through the Local Vault NWN PvP servers with little competition, the others worth my attention developing into friends on my MSN list. Noted for floating with no legs, this was a bit of a comedy touch Seb is usually my dedicated magic user these days, whereas Krent is either a warrior class (longswords/scythe) or some kind of spellsword.

I guess you could also count Borus Thunderhammer, my Dwarven... well, Fighter, originally, but F/C multi in AD&D. I don't consider him as close to me as Krent or Seb, though I do delight in romping through the wilderness (or the helpless bodies of his would-be challengers) with him.

Pity nobody plays D&D in my area, really, I have a little roleplayer in me screaming to get out. The powergamer and FPSer keep watch for the day.

 

Ahh I remember my awsome Male, Half-Elf Bard who was named Mark lots and lots of times, he save the realms sooooooo many times. Sarevok must be angry as I foil his same old plan like 1million times. Jon is angry at me cause I killed him god knows how many times and that weird lady you fight at the end of ToB is angry at me too. (he was the second character I made in BG1 after my computer crashed)

Then there is my Female, Elf Thief/Mage who's been killing the evil guys since 2003 (she was my first character I made in BG1 after my computer crashed).

For some reason I luv being a Elf and Half-Elf.

*EDIT* Whoops I forgot to tell you my Female's name. Her name was Setsuna

 

I've got three characters at the moment who I'm planning (when I get more than five minutes :wall: ) to run through the entire saga, with Tutu so I can make the third one from the start as opposed to, well, later.

The first is the character I've always played, and my favorite: Trevelyn, M Neutral Good Elf Fighter/Mage, named for a name in the Irish song Fields of Athenry. He always wanted to be a librarian but keeps getting asked to save this and Throne of Blood that, so he does it grudgingly, and often is just looking to keep himself alive. (And Imoen. And Minsc and Boo.) He has very high strength, dexterity, and intelligence, and has weapons proficiencies spread across the board, to be versatile. (And he's allowed to be named Trevelyn even though it's not an elf name because he was raised by humans. )

The second is a kit I've been itching to try, in the form of Vidar, M Chaotic Evil Half-Orc Cleric/Thief, named after the Norse god of silence and revenge. (I love multiclasses.) He's an ugly, abrasive, anti-social bastard, though he has a soft spot for Imoen - I'll include her in the second game but not the first. I'm going to pull out all the stops with him and not worry about reputation. Like if I want to roleplay him and Xzar and Montaron taking on the entire population of the Friendly Arm Inn over a plate with a crack in the edge, I just will.

The third is Genevieve, F Chaotic Neutral Human Skald, so named because it sounds good in both English and French. She's a dusky beauty with a dark, gloomy, Seeress Prophecies side to her personality, who's used to getting her way. She prefers to talk you into giving her what she wants, but she also has a halberd so you shouldn't mess with her.

 

Well, my Gnomish Illusionist has been arounbd since i started.

 

Growing up, does anyone remember those Moria, Hack, NetHack and Larn games?

Well those were my initial introductions to DnD (1st game, Rogue! I loved it! But Moria stole my heart!).

The player I had my most success with was a Paladin named Zad! Kicked major arse! Defeated the Balrog with him in Moria! Now, 2yrs ago, when my pops bought me BG2: SoA, I made my PC a paladin!

But since my intial time through BG2, I've since decided that I like playing a Bard much better (Blade kit).....Im currently playing as a Bard through BG1. Sure wish I could make him into a Blade/Bard though! Thats without a doubt my personal favourite of any possible character in all types of DnD!

 

Someone else will most likelly sugest this anyways, even though i am not much fan of the solution myself, you can use BG1TUTU to play baldurs gate 1 with the engine and stuff from BG2, wich means for example kits nd dual wielding etc.

Personally i recomend you strongly to play through the game (BG1) with the original BG1 engine at least once first.

 

Thanx Raptor.

I'm gonna play through it normally, then perhaps in the future use BGTutu.

 

No sweat bud.

 

I tend to make paladins named chevalier or a variety of my first name, who have mental stats almost twice higher than physical ones.
