    [​IMG] Real simple question. I beat it seven times. My favorite character is a female half elf ranger using a composite longbow and a two-handed sword. I'm just wondering if that's like more than everyone or more like average.

    I've played BG1 through only once (with human paladin, who used longswords). I have started several games, but I haven't completed them. Maybe I'll play BG1 again, when I get Dark Side of the Sword Coast. :)

    More then five times (WOW)??

    Let's say I played that game (to the finish line) more then ten times.
    And I'm actually planning a solo (for the first time) in a while.

    Well, now is my second time with my paladin... There will be 3 or 4 more times, just to get more Tomes and Manuals! :) I want at least 23 to my prime three stats (STR, DEX and CONST)!

    I've started several times, but only beaten Sarevok three or four times.

    I've gotta say at least 20... and I've soloed with about every character :)

    The hardest part in a solo is Sarevok's inauguration. I've found that if you cast Protection from evil on Belt a bunch of times, the dopplegangers can't hit him hardly at all.

    5... Every time with a party. Then I got too annoyed of the Al that I dumbed the game to a trash can.

    Four times here. First with a normal single player game, second on solo. (with TotSC)The third time with a powered-up one-computer multiplayer game, and then normally again. I beat it with the mission pack too, but I won't count that. It was like cheating. :(

    [​IMG] I beat it twice solo and five with a party. I like party better. You have more options for customization.

    I like to solo with an elf Ranger and use a composite longbow and a two-handed sword!
