    ok...

    1) Alignment, in the game its really hard to stick to your alignment... i mean there's almost always only 1 good, 1 bad responce... but i find that playing my spur'of'de moment NPC that i end up having to talk like a goodie goodie, its that or start a fight with every 1 i meet? whats with that???

    what would be a grate mod IMO would be a mod that expands choices in the game... plz... i just wanna be mean, mercinary... but still get the job done...

    oh and.. 2...

    any 1 got any good character builds? for fun and/or powergaming...???

    oh and here's my fave char build

    Kensai/Shapeshifter (duel class 13/+) i have TOB so no lame 2.8 mil xp cap for me ^^
    -it kicks ass, u can use braces (kensai normally can't), oh and the kensai bonuses work while in werewolf form as well as the fighter's bonus attacks... (and cuz ur lvl 13 fighter u can actually hit).

    so.. opinions on speach choices and your favourite character builds... (i know mines a lil devious but, the druid kits hardly count as kits, lets face it they barely change a thing. and the werewolf form is just to cool for roleplaying purposes... just a shapeshifter druid has such bad melee stats that not even greater werewolf form makes him work as a melee char).

    <edit>some unreadable *cough* needed re-writing.
    oh and lastly, i'd like to apolegise for my bad habbit on going on and on....and on.... and on...

    Well if you have a Kensai / Shapeshifter then it already means you're cheating. So why not just make your stats 25 each, get the strongest weapons and armor while you're at it, and add a class of speacialist mage in it as well raised to level 40 each. I guess your problem of a powerful character combination whatever is pretty much there.

    So you wanna solo huh?
    I did this a lot and I think I got quite good at it.
    Soloing a sorcerer is really cool...not to hard also. You look really cool on your own, blasting anyone a part with your spells. Maybe the beginning can be tough, but if you gone through the game a few times, you know what quests are somewhat easier then others, so with proper planning you will get there quite easily. Be sure to get the really cool cloak in the adventurer's mart (bonus merchant). This thing reduces your castingtime A LOT...so you will just be casting some timesstops (FAST), some horridwiltings, powerwords...result: everyone dead, that easy
    Just be sure to pick a sorcerer, not a mage, they suck compared to sorcerers.

    I also did a fighter mage, this character was a GOD. He dual wielded The Celestial Fury combined with the Crom Faeyr. He was fast, invisible, invinceble...

    Let me know some of your experiences

    good luck

    Was this last one a joke? Dual wield Celestial Fury with Crom Faeyr? Hey, you can get scripted spells and abilities that kill anything you point at pretty easily I imagine. So why come here discussing best possible tactics for cheating? Or do you mean that softwares that allow immortality, god-like powers and abilities combined with the best of items in the game used illegally at the same time stacking up their powers SILL aren't easy enough for you to get it through? Or is just barely enough to give you a real tough challenge which you will end up beating?

    Ughh... Each with his own style I guess. Why not just skip to the endings. It'd save a lot of time for you to get back to school or cheat in another game.

    Sorry, my fault

    It wasn't a fighter/mage
    It was a fighter/thief
    This is not cheating, and he is a god..
    Crom Faeyr raises strength up to 25

    Simply with hide in shadows and these 2 weapons, your VERY powerfull

    And btw, relax man, little mistake, I never cheated

    Urgh. No actually the mistake was mine. I confused up Crom Faeyr with Carsomyr.

    Yeah well, you gotta screw up somewhere along the way.
