So now that we have 2 more months to plan our BG:EE exploits (I'm looking at this as a positive!), I thought I would toss this question out there...
I loved BG and BG2 and did several play throughs (my favorite character was a paladin), but I haven't played either one in probably 8-9 years. Needless to say, in the 14 years since I played BG1 in high school, a few things in my life have changed, and today I would love to introduce my wife to BG. She's not been a big video gamer at all (other than WoW), but she has a lot of pen and paper roleplaying experience. She also has read many of the Forgotten Realms books, so has a solid foundation on that side of things
Any thoughts as to the best way to get her started with BG:EE? Should she start off single player? Multiplayer (I've never done multiplayer BG, but it sounds interesting)? I'm planning on buying for both Mac and iPad, so I guess the ideal platform is up in the air...
While I'm very excited to play BG again, I'm almost more excited for those who haven't played before! Any pertinent experiences with BG virgins?
