I have played through the trilogy many times using overpowered melee types (kensai, inquisitor, monk, berserker) and am looking for something a little different this time around.
I have it narrowed down to an archer, skald, or specialist mage but I have some doubts about all three.
The archer seems like a fun change of pace since I never used missles a whole lot in previous playthroughs but it seems like it would be too similar to a kensai in a high offense low defense sort of way.
I always wanted to try 2 mages (my pc being one of em) but I'm worried that this won't be viable especially in the first game, since bg seems to favor low thac0 melee dmg over all else.
The skald seems like fun but I hear bards are pretty terrible in general. I don't mind being a sidelined support char but I want my main to be useful as well.
I realize this is a little all over the place, but any insight would be appreciated.
