Hello all!
Based on an earlier thread, I have decided to make an Elven Berserker (of all things). Here we're my exact words:
"I think I might do an Elf Berserker...he is bitter that he can't do magic, but accepts it and trains to be a Mage bodyguard. Something like that, and he really feels bad that he couldn't protect Gorion so he tries to be a better guard. Not quite Minsc, but similar (except no hamster, no annoying catchphrases, and I won't protect Aerie or Dynaheir.)
Sort of like a non-human Thayan Knight (their combat and Mage-guarding tendencies rather than their human and evil tendencies"
So I only have three choices to make, one being ultra important.
1.) Alignment? I can't be Lawful Neutral as I am a berserker, but since this character has a sense of loyalty I feel Chaotic anything is kind of ehh. True neutral? Neutral good/evil?
2.) Portrait/Name? I am playing this character on my iPad, so no custom portraits :-( probably Khalid's portrait since he won't need it where he is going (straight into Silke's lightning)
3.) Weapon Selection? Basically I am deciding between fighting with two long swords or a two-handed sword. Both get me the bonus THAC0 from being an Elf, and both have decent weapon options in BG:EE (and even more in BG:2, hence why I ruled out Bastard Swords). Unsure if elves get the bonus THAC0 for Katanas but they suck in BG:EE anyways.
So, big sword or two swords for this elven whirling fury? Other suggestions are appreciated, welcome, and sometimes worshipped.
Thanks!
PS: if I start a new character every three days or so does that mean I play BG:EE too much? I'm just trying to find the most enjoyable one.
