BG1 thru to ToB?

Remove all ads!

I'm thinking about starting a character in BG1 (with ToTSC installed) and taking her (yes, a she, I have already an idea of the character, cleric, female, half-elf) all the way through to ToB. Has anyone here ever done this before? It would seem like a cool idea to me. Any comments?

I've started with a human pally called Bedevere, and have already reached SOA, where he's currently in a "Castle Anthrax" scenario, but is going to be "rescued" soon by Keldorn, who will convince him to stick with one woman. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get my hands on TotSC, so I just skipped that.

 

I've done this with a lawful evil fighter that became a Kensai in SoA. It's long to go through ToSC-SoA-ToB. But it is a great deep roleplaying experience and you get even a greater feeling of the Saga your character is going through....

Right now I'm in ToSC with a Bard that I will bring through SoA and ToB also...

I'm doing (done) it. I like (liked) it. But still: I'm finding myself a little maniac (And I'm not talking about what my wife think of me about this hahaha!!).

 

I just did it....or rather I am in the process of doing it. I finished BG I & II and am close to finishing TOB....with the same character...cool, but a little time consuming....I'm starting to feel like a social outcast. And I'm starting to run out of excuses for not going out and partying. I'm getting too old to be sitting infront of a computer until 4am on a Saturday night.

The experience is very cool, however. It will just take you a little while. OH, and I almost forgot...BGI seems painfully slow compared to SOA.

 

Heh, after thinking about all the time I spent just playing BG, BG2, and now ToB through just one, there is NO WAY I can play those games through back to back to back. I think I'd wither and die if I spent that much time in front of this comupter

 

Or at least have missing ads turning up about you while you played

 

Doing that with a character you know you will like all the way trough is as far as I'm concerned, one of the best RPG experience you can have. But then, I do consider myself as somekind of a computerized-RPG maniac.

 

hahaha!
Marmeille:
I've just agreed with you on another topic. And in that one I was just saying that I'm a little maniac (see in one of the reply sent sooner in that topic.)

Nice to meet another maniac!

I'm going to use a Fit for BG1 and then dual him to something else in BG2 and then destroy everything in ToB with my new and improved super dude. I like to think of each part of the BG series as a part of my characters development and switch classes at each stage to show it.Can't remember if I can dual class twice(Fit-9/Cl-11/Mu-whatever).I'll change again at ToB if possible.If I can't I will just use my combined strength from 1 and 2 to assault ToB. Thats my path.Of course this is assuming that I can keep my attention on this trilogy long enough to complete.

 

Well, I'm busy doing it...

I've just started SOA, (I just hate to write it like that, SAO is the Dutch word for STD {Sexual Transmitted Decease}, but I digress) with Eliraweth, a NE Half-Elf Fighter/Cleric.

I've already the D'Arnise stronghold, and now I'm busy with Umar Hills Killings (Beware the Umar Witch, I'm sorry, mother, Michealus... Ah, love the The Umar Witch Project Journal).

But anyway, just wanted to let you know. And it is really a cool experience. And no, my family hasn't reported me missing, yet. I only dissappear for 8 hours a day.

On a related note, has anyone soloed from BG1 all the way through ToB? I'm going to take a single class mage (heheheh or F/M/T) through the series. As we speak, I'm installing BG1 and ToSC.

Bloodpuff, you stole my line!!!

Yes, I bought BG1 and ToSC yesterday, and started an adventure to remember.

I plan to run solo through BG1-ToSC-BG2-ToB with my half-elven MC Ranger/Cleric (doh..)

SO far I have beaten the Prologue and Chapter One, I am level 5/5 and I just arrived to Nashkel.

When I mean solo, I mean I will never reruit any party members at any time - so no thief skills and mage spells for me.

 

I see.

I already wussed out and dragged Imoen along with me to the Friendly Arm Inn, where I promptly ditched her. Killed all of two wolves for 65xp. I guess I'm not REALLY soloing anymore.

I'm fighting with some video issues in BG, so I haven't gotten past 1st level yet. Using a M/T, but I'll probably restart as a straight mage. Be much more interesting that way. Whups, Disc 5 of my reinstall, I'm crossing my fingers.

Update: There we go. Installed and begging to be marathoned. BG to ToB in 72 hours, here I come

Update: AAAAARRRGH! It isn't working! Thats 3 reinstalls in a row. DirectX8.0 and full patches for BG - ToSC. It works fine up to the friendly Arm Inn, then I get video corruption, specifically with large squares of solid colors that blot out the background. It seems that some of the area is fine, only the rendering in the main view is screwed up. I'm off to hunt down a solution...

im doing this myself now!!

i intend to craete a fighting partner for Sarevok with my Fighter who now has 95 HP from only 7 levels!!! woohoo!!!

 

BG through ToB in 72 hours? That is hardcore. Hope you have a comfortable chair.

 

BG is over for my MC/RC. I have beaten it yesterday.

I will not move to ToSC yet, because I got a bit bored by BG setting, so I exported my lvl 7/7 char to BG2.

Update on the progression on the BG2 forum.

 

I'm playing BG with my Fighter/Mage and will buy ToB after I finished BG2 with him...

 

This morning I completed SoA with my Elven Sorcerer (I had Haer Dalis, the games best NPC in my group ), so naturally I immediately switched CD's and started at the beginning with a female half-elven bard that I'll take all the way through (who cares if you don't get lvl 8 spells? I'm going to kit to a Blade anyway!). I figure it'll take a good 100 hours to go through BG/TotSC (I play slowly, it's more enjoyable). I wonder how many cans of Pringles I'll have to buy to last me?

 

Hehe addict A Half-Elf female bard.... you must have named her Luthien!

Have fun with the game!

 

Nope, sorry, it's Deirdre. I'm a sucker for everything Celtic (Moonshaes ROCK!)
