Even though I have a wizard slayer in early ToB (In Saradush I think, closing in on Gromir), and an evil Blade at the start of BG2 (that I sorta wanna redo with RRB). I'm looking to you my fellow forumites to help me decide my next 4 games of BG, and to some degree it will impact how I do my dragon age runs as well coming up.
I'm setting a personal goal of myself:
To beat BGEE/BG2EE, ME1-3, and DA1-3 by the end of the year with every base character class:
In ME and DA this is easy, you have Soldier, Engineer and Adept or Warrior, Rogue, Mage and so those are fairly locked in stone.
In BG obviously, we're going to add the ubiquitous cleric into the mix, as they are a base class in D&D.
All of these WILL be role played, but also, most of these characters (BG and DA) will be similar personalities across playthroughs (all done on the hardest difficulty possible because I hate myself).
For example:
If I have a Dwarf Fighter in BG, then in DAO my warrior will be a dwarf as well. If I am a berserker in BG then one of my specializations in DA (in fact the first one) would have to be berserker. Just because I like easily getting into character like that.
So what is set in stone:
Thief - Assassin, Evil (because I've never really played one other than my blade) starting with Longsword and Shortbow (for thac0). Probably going Elf here for the thac0 reasons. (Sorry Hexxat)
Mage - Invoker, Good most likely, Human with a love and affinity for the flashy damage magics (I never said I was smart)
Cleric - Cleric of Helm, LN, unsure on race but prolly human due to RP reasons.
Fighter - Torn between another Wizard Slayer (I hate myself remember) or Berserker
How should I play these characters, anything you think I should add. Any mods in particular I should add (I run vanilla atm, but I've considered RRB and SCS)
And I will try (no promises) on pulling a @Blackraven and doing no reload. Oh and tryign to write it all down in one post just so that everyone stays up to date (DA and ME runs would obviously be in offtopic but linked in a General thread for BG).
This would prolly expand eventually to a 1 of every class then 1 of every kit run in a long long time from now.
