I'm a Baldur's Gate veteran, started playing BG1 the year it came out and I'm very knowledgeable about everything all the way through TOB. Somehow I got my girlfriend to buy the iPad version and now she wants to play multiplayer. Seeing as it isn't currently working for us, I've been helping her learn the ropes and that's only reminding me how much there actually is to know about this game.
I'm going to assume that she will be deadweight in a multiplayer game and that is why I'd like to get some opinions on party members. We're going to play on "normal" difficulty and shamelessly give our characters perfect stats taking into account racial factors/fighter strength being 18/00. If we each get three characters, I would like mine to be able to handle any situation without her, these are currently what I'm planning to use:
Gnome fighter/illusionist, protagonist w/ find familiar
Human berserker dualled to cleric very early on as in lvl 2
Human fighter dualled to thief also at lvl2, grandmastery in long bows eventually
*(dualling at level 2 is only so that the characters are as pure in their second class as possible, get 18/00 str, and grandmastery in their respective weapons. Of course they could get a lot more experience in the first class w/o jeopardizing the second but playtime as the 2nd class is a factor)*
I believe that those three characters could be self sufficient, but the levels to dual them at are up to discussion and so are their classes.
But I don't have the slightest clue as to what classes my gf should play. All opinions are welcome. Off-topic discussions on playing multiplayer with your significant other are also welcome.
