My break is over, now here is part 3 of my list of licensed Forgotten Realms based novels, comics, tabletop games and video games with a confirmed timeline (and those without a confirmed timeline that I can only make carefully thought out guesses). I will start from 1401 DR and end in 1491 DR, and this list will be pretty short because the 4th edition setting seemed not only unpopular to gamers like us, but also the authors like Ed Greenwood and R.A. Salvatore, I mean, jumping 100 years into the future, especially after the Spellplague without their consent... That means half or most of the characters they created that don't have a long lifespan like elves or dwarves are either old or dead. So, without further ado, let's get started.


Here is the link back to part 2 if you've never seen it and are interested.

"Dawnbringer" (Written by Samantha Henderson) (begins in 1460 DR and believe it or not, ends in 1600 DR!) Amazing, isn't it, jumping 121 years from the 4th edition setting!

------

"Gauntylgrym" of the Neverwinter Saga ends in 1462 DR

"Neverwinter Tales" comic book series issues 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (Written by R.A. Salvatore and Geno Salvatore, published by IDW Publishing, cover art by Gonzalo Flores, interior art by Augustin Padilla, Jose Avilles, Tim Seeley, Leonard O'Grady, and Gonzalo Flores) (1462 DR) This comic book series takes place not long after "Gauntlgrym" ends, starring Drizzt and his new love interest, the bald elf Dahlia Sin'felle, and Valindra Shadowmantle is one of the characters in this story

------

"The Companions" of The Sundering Saga (By R.A. Salvatore) (begins in 1463 DR) Drizzt's deceased companions begin to reincarnate in this story

(Realms of the Dead book "The Resurrection Agent" (By Erin M. Evans) (1463 DR)

"The Last Legend of Gedrin Shadowbane" (By Erik Scott de Bie) (1463 DR)

"Neverwinter" of The Neverwinter Saga (by R.A. Salvatore) (1463 DR) This novel is intentionally tied in to the Neverwinter MMORPG game because in one part of the book, the moon elf lich Valindra Shadowmantle led an attack on Neverwinter for the purpose of powering up the Dread Ring in the Neverwinter forest, a location that can be visited in Module 2 of the Neverwinter MMORPG

"Charon's Claw" of The Neverwinter Saga (by R.A. Salvatore) (1463 DR)

------

"Swordmage" of the Blades of the Moonsea Trilogy (By Richard Baker) (begins in 1477 DR)

"The Devil You Know" of the Brimstone Angels series (By Erin M. Evans) (1477 DR) Though no realm year has been officially confirmed, it shouldn't be hard to narrow down once you realize that this story takes place before Farideh made the warlock pact in the "Brimstone Angels" story, which comes up next afterwards.

"Brimstone Angels" of the Brimstone Angels Series (By Erin M. Evans) (prologue is in 1477 DR)

------

------

"Gates of Neverdeath" (a tabletop adventure game) (Written by Erik Scott de Bie) (1479 DR, months before the Neverwinter MMORPG) Seldra Tylmarande, the great great niece of Aribeth from Neverwinter Nights is in this game.

"The Lost Crown of Neverwinter" (sequel tabletop game to Gates of Neverdeath) (Written by Erik Scott de Bie) (1479 DR) A couple months closer to Valindra's second attack on Neverwinter, one part of this game presumably happens during the Neverwinter MMORPG's prologue

"Neverwinter" (The MMORPG game developed by Cryptic Studios, originally playable only on Microsoft Windows PC, but now playable on Xbox One, and PlayStation 4) (main module begins in 1479 DR) The game's prologue begins with Valindra's forces attacking Neverwinter for the second time, and you have to stop them, and throughout the game there are various evil forces that threaten Neverwinter and its allies, not just those allied with Valindra

Realms of the Dead book "Wandering Stones" (By Bruce R. Cordell), "The Bone Bird" (By Jaleigh Johnson), "A Prayer for Brother Robert" (By Philip Athans), "Dusty Bones" (By Rosemary Jones), and "A Body in a Bag" (By Erik Scott de Bie) (1479 DR)

------

"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (main module ends in 1481 DR, Module 1: "Fury of the Feywild" begins in 1481 DR)

------

"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (Module 1: "Fury of the Feywild" ends in 1482 DR, Module 2: "Shadowmantle" begins and ends in 1482 DR) In the climactic end mission of Module 2, you get to fight Valindra and put an end to her threat once and for all, and believe me, she doesn't go down easily, you'll need a full group to face her. Then again, no lich goes down easy

"Murder in Baldur's Gate" (The Sundering Tabletop Adventure #1) (Tabletop game created by Ed Greenwood, Matt Sernett and Steve Winter) (1482 DR) This tabletop game ties in directly with the Baldur's Gate games and novels, with Abdel Adrian, the much hated protagonist of the Baldur's Gate novels as one of the NPCs, and even Coran is in this game too, and the game's story ends with the inevitable resurrection of Bhaal. The fact that Abdel lived more than 100 years before he gets killed off signifies that Imoen and the game protagonist could live that long too if he/she is human, half-orc or some other race with a short lifespan compared to elves, half-elves, halflings, gnomes and dwarves, and chose to remain mortal at the end of the ToB game. Being a Bhaalspawn guarantees longevity it seems

------

"The Last Threshold" and "The Companions" end in 1484 DR

"Dungeons & Dragons: Cutter" comic book series issue #1 "Birthright", issue #2 "The Lost Child", issue #3 "Sword, Wielder", issue #4 "A Dark Path", issue #5 "Homecoming" (comic books written by R.A. Salvatore and his son Geno Salvatore, art by David Baldeon, colors by David Garcia Cruz, letters by Neil Uyetake, cover art by Steve Ellis) (1484 DR, before "Night of the Hunter")

"Night of the Hunter" of the Companions Codex series (By R.A. Salvatore) (1484 DR)

"Rise of the King" of the Companions Codex series (By R.A. Salvatore) (1484 DR)

"Vengeance of the Iron Dwarf" of the Companions Codex series (By R.A. Salvatore) (begins in 1484 DR)

------

"Vengeance of the Iron Dwarf" of the Companions Codex series ends in 1485 DR

"Legacy of the Crystal Shard" (The Sundering Tabletop Adventure #2) (Tabletop game created by R.A. Salvatore, James Wyatt and Jeffrey Ludwig) (1485 DR)

"Archmage" of the Homecoming series (By R.A. Salvatore) (1485 DR)

"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (Module 3: "Curse of Icewind Dale" begins and ends sometime after month of Eleint in 1485 DR) This may come as a shock to those who have read "The Crystal Shard", but in Module 3, the main villain is none other than the villainous mage Akar Kessel, who comes back from the dead as a powerful wight.

"Scourge of the Sword Coast" (The Sundering Tabletop Adventure #3) (Tabletop game created by Tito Leati, Matthew Sernett and Chris Sims) (1485 DR) Just a wild guess on the realm year.

Tyranny of Dragons Adventurers League game story modules "Corruption in Kryptgarden", "Defiance in Phlan", "Secrets of Sokol Keep", "Shadows over the Moonsea", "Dues for the Dead", "The Courting of Fire", 'The Scroll Thief", "Drums in the Marsh", "Tall Trees Tell," "Outlaws of the Iron Route", "Tyranny in Phlan", "Dark Pyramid of Sorcerer's Isle", "Raider of the Twilight Marsh", "Pool of Radiance Resurgent", and "Escape from Phlan" (1485 DR)

"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (Module 4: "Tyranny of Dragons") (begins and ends in 1485 DR)

"Legends of Baldur's Gate" comic book series issues 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (Written by Jim Zub, art by Max Dunbar, colors by John-Paul Bove (and Joana Laufente in issue #2), letters by Neil Uyetake, edits by John Barber) (1485 DR) These comic books bring Minsc from the Baldur's Gate games from the 2nd-3rd edition time frame into the 5th edition time frame of the Forgotten Realms in a very interesting way, and Coran appears in this series too. If you haven't read these comic books before, you'll enjoy them, I know I did

"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (Module 5: "Rise of Tiamat") (begins and ends in 1485 DR) Linu La'neral, one of the companion characters from Neverwinter Nights is in this module's story and is one of the NPCs that helps player characters fight against Tiamat in the end of the module's story

"Dead in Thay" (The Sundering Tabletop Adventure #4) (Tabletop game created by Scott Fitzgerald Gray) (1485 DR)

"Sword Coast Legends" (A game developed by N-Space and Digital Extremes, playable on Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One) (possibly 1485 DR) This game was designed to be the spiritual successor of the Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Neverwinter Nights game series in terms of gameplay. The devs of Sword Coast Legend's forums said that this game is set somewhere between 1490 DR and 1492 DR, answering someone's question about the game's time frame in the Forgotten Realms, but after I realized that the Rage of Demons DLC likely takes place somewhere between "Maestro" and "Hero", I'm beginning to believe that Sword Coast Legends's developers gave a random answer, they never had a time frame firmly in mind when they made this game, the in-game journal does not keep track of the game's time and day, month and year like Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights did.

------

Elemental Evil Adventurers League game storyline modules "City of Danger", "Embers of Elmwood", "The Drowned Tower", "Mayhem in the Earthspur Mines", "Flames of Kythorn", "Breath of the Yellow Rose", "Bounty in the Bog", "Foulness Beneath Mulmaster", "Eye of the Tempest", "Cloaks and Shadows", "Oubliette of Fort Iron", "Dark Rites at Fort Dalton", "The Howling Void", "The Sword of Selflaril", "Black Heart of Vengeance", "Boltsmelter's Book", and "Mulmaster Undone" (1486 DR)

"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (Module 6: "Elemental Evil") (1486 DR) Minsc makes his first in-game appearance in this expansion of the game

"Archmage" ends in 1486 DR

"Out of the Abyss", Tabletop game adventure (Published by Wizards of the Coast) (1486 DR)

Rage of Demons Adventurers League game storyline modules "Harried in Hillsfar", "Shackles of Blood", "The Occupation of Szith Morcaine", "It's All in the Blood", "Bane of the Tradeways", "No Foolish Matter", "Herald of the Moon", "The Malady of Elventree", "The Waydown", "Quelling the Horde", "The Quest for Sporedome", "Hillsfar Reclaimed", "Writhing in the Dark", "Death on the Wall", "Szith Morcaine Unbound", "Assault on Maerimydra" (I enjoyed playing this part, and fighting Grazzt in the end was challenging for me and my party), and "Blood Above, Blood Below" (1486 DR)

"Maestro" of the Homecoming series (By R.A. Salvatore) (1486 DR)

"Sword Coast Legends: Rage of Demons DLC" (1486 DR) Drizzt is in this DLC's story, making Sword Coast Legends the fifth D&D game allowing the player's character to adventure and/or fight alongside him. The first one was Baldur's Gate, the second was Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn, the third was Demon Stone, and the fourth is the 8th and 9th module expansions of the Neverwinter MMORPG. It is unlikely this DLC is set in 1490 DR, years after "Maestro" and "Hero", because in this DLC, Drizzt is still affected by the faerzress since "Maestro", he is not the compassionate drow we knew anymore, he enjoys hunting worthy prey and will almost not hesitate to attack anyone in his way unless they prove to be a worthy ally against his prey, and he has no intention of returning to Catti-Brie even if you urge him to, because he is aware that he is not entirely sane, and he does not want want to be near anyone he cares about until Demogorgon is defeated, which he believes will clear his mind.

"Hero" of the Homecoming series (By R.A. Salvatore) (1486 DR)

"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (Module 8: "Underdark", story written by R.A. Salvatore) (1486 DR) Through this module's story, your character gets to fight alongside Drizzt and his reincarnated companions against Demogorgon's demonic forces.

"Fire in the Blood" of the Brimstone Angels series (By Erin M. Evans) (1486 DR)

"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (Module 9: "The Maze Engine") (1486 DR) Drizzt and Minsc both appear in this expansion together, and Drizzt seems to know Minsc either personally or by reputation because when they meet, he is surprised that Minsc is still alive in this day and age. If it is personally, then Drizzt probably remembers Minsc back during the events of Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn game version, when Minsc traveled with Gorion's Ward.

"The Reaver" of The Sundering saga (By Richard Lee Byers) (1486 DR)

"The Sentinel" of The Sundering saga (By Troy Denning) (1486 DR)

"Ashes of the Tyrant" of the Brimstone Angels series (By Erin M. Evans) (1486 DR)

------

"The Herald" of The Sundering saga (By Ed Greenwood) (1487 DR)

------

"Spellstorm" (By Ed Greenwood) (1488 DR)

------

"Death Masks" of the Chosen Heirs series (By Ed Greenwood) (1491 DR)

"Shadows of The Vampire #1" (issues #2, 3, 4 and 5 are set in the Ravenloft campaign setting) (Written by Jim Zub, art by Nelson Daniel, letters by Neil Uyetake, edits by John Barber, published by Ted Adams) (possibly 1491 DR) In Ravenloft, the comic book's story takes place before the tabletop game "Curse of Strahd" because Minsc and his party encounter Strahd himself before they return to the Forgotten Realms world.

"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (Module 10: "Storm King's Thunder") (possibly 1491 DR) Reincarnated Wulfgar and Cattie-Brie are in this expansion of the game and one of your in-game allies.

"Frost Giant's Fury #1, 2, 3 and 4" (Written by Jim Zub, art by Netho Diaz, letters by Neil Uyetake, colors by Thiago Ribiero, edits by David Hedgecock, assistant edits by David Mariotte, published by Ted Adams) (possibly 1491 DR) The story of this comic book series begins after Minsc, Delina, Krydle, Shandie and Nerys return to the Forgotten Realms world after being sent to and trapped in Ravenloft for a while in the "Shadows of The Vampire" comic book series.

"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (Module 11: "The Cloaked Ascendancy") (possibly 1491 DR)

"Neverwinter" (MMORPG game) (Module 12: "Tomb of Annihilation") (possibly 1491 DR)

"Tales from Candlekeep: Tomb of Annihilation" (PC game based on turn-based D&D Adventure System board games) (Developed and published by BKOM Studios) (possibly 1491 DR) Dragonbait, Alias's partner from the Azure Bonds novels is in this game. And the game reveals that Valindra is still around, I knew she would come back because in the Neverwinter MMORPG's Shadowmantle expansion, you defeat her body, but not her phylactery.

------


That's about as far as I can get for now. In the meantime I will try to dig up some interesting information about all the novels, comic books and games I listed whether I have read or played them or not, something that'll pique your interest. And the reason why I skipped over adding Module 7 of the Neverwinter MMORPG, "Strongholds" is because there is no real storyline behind that expansion, just competitive gameplay based around strongholds. In the years to come, as more books get published and more games get released, I will modify this list from time to time as new information gets revealed. Remember, not everything is final in this list.

I'm pretty bored today, so I've decided to make a chronological list of all the FR novels, comics and games and list what year they take place in the Forgotten Realms universe, since I am collecting the audiobooks of the novels and playing the games, and I also want to educate you all on the chronology of the Forgotten Realms, which novel, comic or game takes place in what year, who wrote that novel/comic/game and who developed them and whatnot. Some stories extend on for years, decades or centuries before they end, and some stories are one of many short stories in one book. Part 2 will continue onward later.

I hope you guys enjoy looking this over, piecing together the time frame of almost every FR novel, comic book and game is not easy. There are some that are very difficult to determine. I want to post links to the books, comics and games I refer to, but I've used up too much space already.

Here is the link to part 2!
https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/60669/the-complete-fr-novel-comic-and-game-timeline-part-2

So, I'm doing a solo run as a sorcerer and just did the little even at Duchal Palace.
My question is really regarding our dear Grand Dukes, who died like flies the first few tries.

Liia Jannath is supposed to be "a mage of no small power" according to herself, and yet all she does is run around with her dagger trying to kill the doppelgangers. A few spells, stoneskin etc would be a nice addition to her. She shouldn't be trying to melee them at least.

Belt is supposed to be a lvl 19 fighter according to http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Belt and yet he dies quite easily as well. Must be a day off for him...

Is this working as intended? @Dee

I like turn-based strategy games a lot more than their real-time counterparts. ToEE was a game that I loved, even if it required major updates from fan mods.

I would love for Beamdog to remake this game into a coherent enhanced edition. Is such a thing possible?

Let's make a list of Forgotten Realms books so people can have a resource if they wish to read them.

Both standalone ones and book series are fine to put in.

FORMAT:

Book Title: XYZ

Book Description: ...

Rating: ?/10

Part of a Series: Y/N

Would you recommend to others? Why/why not?

Ok, please bear with me.

With my son's help have managed to buy the complete BG's (again) from Steam (I hope Beamdog get's the money). We have found in "properties" 1.3 beta.
Is this what I need to download to replace my installs of 1.3?

Second question, I'd like son to play the same version as me.
But, what do you recommend?
New first time player, (and that was with me twisting his arm and having to buy it for him) should I just let him go with the new versions?
But I hate them, arghhhhh..... don't know what's best.

Third question, if I download the games on my PC, will they make new files ect. so that my GOG installs won't be affected?

Thankyou in advance for any advice.

Hello

I'm in need of all the hostile priests and their gods/goddess for a mod I'm currently working on.

If there's a place where I can build such a list is in this forum. Can you guys help me out?

And if anyone knows a quick way to retrieve this info using Near Infinity, please let me know.

I'll edit this first post as I get some messages in this thread.

Thanks!

I'll start with the only ones I can remember at the moment:

BGEE/SoD

1) Bassilus / Cyric

2) Mulahey / Cyric

3) Laryssa / ??? (from the quest The Tale of Captain Brage)

4) Tamoko / ???

---

BG2EE / ToB

1) Amelysan / Bhaal

2) Gaal / Unseeing Eye

I am looking for new or obscure male halfling thief portraits for a new character. All welcome!

I've been trying to find a very old Baldur's Gate (original) mod that I used to play with back when I was younger (a long time ago). The only part of this mod that I can clearly remember, is that you could pick up a pair of boots (cleric only) in Durlag's Tower from the floor under the entrance floor, that gave you 25(?) magic resistance. The mod did change a lot of other things in the world as well, but those boots are the one thing that I can clearly remember. Prat (Candlekeep Catacombs) also dropped an item that gave you more mage spells.

So from this vague bit of information, does anyone remember this mod?

If you had the choice would you rather have Beamdog create a new adventure expansion (a la Trials of the Luremaster, Tales of the Sword Coast, or Watcher's Keep) for Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate, or Baldur's Gate II?

I've read that dual wielding is the best way to go, and I've read that it isn't as good when you start getting whirlwind and greater whirlwind attacks.

Which is correct?

What characters does dual wielding work best on? What types of characters is it the worst on?

New Forum game!

Tell a story about The Baldur's Gate Trilogy, Ice Wind Dale, Planescape: Torment or Neverwinter Nights by only using 7 words - no more, no less.

For example:

Jaheira slew the bear then cried silently.

or

The knives brought out, Khalid's stuttering stopped.

seem easy? Ok... go!

I was able to delete the pre-genned characters in IWD:EE Near Infinity, so just my own are listed during party-gen... however, I can't for the life of me figure out how to delete the generic characters (Abdel, Canderous, etc.) for BG:EE. I can find the .CHR files in the MISC.biff, but the option to delete is grayed out. I can export them to Override, but if you delete them there it obviously does nothing to the files in the biff. Is there a reason these can't be removed? Just out of luck?

Does anyone know if there is a comprehensive list of bard specific items in BGEE, SoDS and BG2EE? I know of a few, but I generally ignore these in other play-throughs.

Not sure if this is where i post requests but does anybody have a these IWD and IWD2 portraits in hi-res?

Ok, so a long time player of the series, BG2 my favorite game of all time in fact.

There's just one thing that has been keeping me from playing it recently though: I find it too easy, or rather arbitrarily too easy/hard due to the resting mechanic.

I love a challenge, and have been playing with SCS for a long time, but it's really the resting that decides a lot of failure/success.

SCS mages in particular need you to dispel them, and not having the spells is potentially fatal.

Even so, what I'm looking for is some ideas on how to restrict resting for myself to keep a sense of resource management/tactics in the game as opposed to spamming my best spells and resting and repeating.

I've thought of a few things:

1) Only rest when all party members are fatigued.

2) Impose a real-time time limit of, say, an hour before I can rest, and I cannot simply wait around doing nothing to bypass this.

3) Simply make judgement calls on when it seems appropriate.

I dislike the third option the most; I guess I'm looking for the game to really impose limitations and for me to have to work within that environment.

I'm someone who is very comfortable with hard games and I really want BG2 to provide that to me like it once did!

Anyone who is familiar with the new XCOM for example, I've beaten that multiple times now on Ironman Impossible, and I just love the challenge (at least in the first 2 months, then it too gets easier) and there is a real sense of working with limited resources.

I'm hoping someone can come up with a novel idea on how I can once again enjoy BG2 to the fullest!

Having played through Bhaalspawn trilogy and playing BG:EE once again with a view to playing Siege of Dragonspear for the first time, revisiting the original events of the original game and reading through the background trilogy really got me thinking - while SoD is a welcome edition to further our experience of Baldur's Gate, what I personally would really love would be a BG game which extended the series rather than added an additional campaign in the middle. I am not sure how a BG3 would pan out, and considering the possible endings to the series and how powerful your party gets, it is simply not feasible or as interesting to pen a direct sequel to Throne of Bhaal, as it would have to be a new protagonist with a new party.

However, I've always thought that Gorion was the Obi Wan to the Luke Skywalker that is Gorion's Ward (please excuse the Star Wars references!). Revisiting the events of BG1 has shown me that while we can piece together elements regarding Gorion and his knowledge of the protagonist's Bhaalspawn heritage, we never actually get more information with regards to his story. Clearly much happened prior to the events of BG1 even from the lore we know. But how was Gorion entrusted with his ward? Did he actually know his/her mother? What were the challenged involved with raising a Bhaalspawn (were there any oter attempts on his life, attempts to capture Gorion's ward and did he know about Imoen's heritage?).

Personally I think a Baldur's Gate 0, a prequel which followed Gorion and his adventures would be amazing. We know that Gorion reaches level 9-12 mage based upon his level in BG1 and his abilities which are akin to a level 12 mage, which leaves us wit god room for character progression. I would propose that the story would follow Gorion as a young adventurer joining the Harpers who are investigating rumours of the conception of the Bhaalspawn and the possibiity of Alaundo's prophecy coming true. This would involve Gorion being entrusted with his ward, discovering his true heritage, and defending him from threats such as Bhaal clergy. This could even lead into the Time of Troubles, which would be a suitable climax to the game/prequel series, and personally an era I would love to play through in game.

Gorion could be the protagonist or a compusory NPC. Potential NPC's could be known Harpers from BG1 and BG2 (I would rule out Elminster and other OP characters, as well as Khalid & Jaheira as they are level 1 at the beginning of BG1) - I recall there is at least one mid-level fighter and one bard who are Harpes in game. Also how about the Gnomish owners of the Friendly Arm Inn? A young Keldorn who is on his first quest as a paladin squire similar to Ajantis in BG1? (My idea here would be a quest involving him gaining Inquisitor powers, either from the Paladin class, or from Wizard Slayer when he discovers his will to become a Paladin). Finally how about a mortal Cyric NPC, who uses the party to further his own plans...

Also how about an evil campaign, either within the game or a different prequel entirely? Going back to the Star Wars analogies, while the prequels were never the best movies, I always found the concept of watching Anakin's descent to become Darth Vader fascinating. How about a similar game where instead of Gorion, you play as Rieltar Anchev who discovers a young Sarevok instead - a reverse Gorion story? Even more interestingly how about Sarevok's story? It could be an offshoot of the aforementioned prequel where Sarevok is not rescued into Gorion's ward and charts his story of survival on the streets and his desire for revenge/descent into darkness. It can explore his original nature, as we know he has the capability of good from ToB, and can be a true anti-hero story. Rieltar, his adopted father, could be an NPC and in-game banter could show their tough relationship, as well as the addition of Tamoko as a love interest and NPC. I think it would be fascinating to develop Sarevok from a level 1 fighter, see his motivations and his development of Deathstalker and Bhaalspawn powers, the discovery of his heritage and his rise within the Iron Throne. It could even cross over with events of BG1 giving us the alternative perspective from Sarevok's side we previously never saw.

I would be grateful to gather opinion on this, and see what everyone else thinks. Personally I would love if Beamdog could do this, as they have already extended and enhanced the series. I however think it would be amazing if they could actually make a brand new game within the series and enhance the Bhaalspawn story.

I solemnly swear to:

1. Actually use wands and potions instead of hording them for "future fights"
2. Not reload any time someone dies (I don't usually like the concept of resurrections)
3. Actually finish the game before starting a new playthrough!

What was the first character you ever took through BG or IWD?

For me, I started playing Baldur's Gate 2 when I was around 11. My first character was a Cavalier with Anomen's portrait and my name, romancing Aerie. I always gave him the best equipment and set him up with the Red Dragon Scale, Dragonscale Shield, Dragon Helm, and Celestial Fury because I thought a warrior with all-red armor and a gold sword looked cool. He had really min-maxed stats and used Intelligence as a dump stat, so I died lots of times in the mind flayer city. Our party always included Minsc, Jaheira, Aerie, and Nalia; I ran with a consistently good-aligned party. Anomen joined the group as well, but failed his test because I encouraged him to kill Saerk.

Dragon+'s new issue is out.

It comes with the original story of Dorn Il-Khan by Dave Gross.

There's even a fifth edition character sheet for Dorn available for download now!
