It is basically never good to dual at any time.
if you want a fighter/thief, take a non-human.

Is level 7/8 alright for Durlag's Tower in BG1?

Favorite party for BG2, provided that you create all characters yourself or edit the NPCs? For me, it's

-Inquisitor
-Cleric/Ranger
-Assassin
-Cleric/Mage multi
-Wild Mage
Last spot is either Berserker, or Blade.
>>
>>336250494
Yes, that's pretty much the level cap without mods/EE
>>
>>336250352
Depends, if f for some reason you want to play a general wizard or cleric, taking a few warrior/rogue don't make you lose much and give you more apr/hp
>>336250456
Multi ends up better
>>336250494
Yes
>>
>>336250494
Absolutely ok. I did it on level 7 myself.

>>336250507

>>
>>336250602
It's EE i'm playing. Does that make a difference as far as my level is concerned?
>>
>>336250680
Multi has less spells than dual. Dual can progress into cleric levels much futher. You end up with a one man army anyways. I love to solo with clerics
>>
>>336250778
I know SoD expansion increases the level cap even further, not sure about just EE if you don't have it.

It has no effect on your current level, of course, only the maximum. Level 7-8 is enough in any version.
>>
>>336250838
Do your spells/day increase above level 20?
I know in 3E the progression stopped and you never got more than 4 spells in the max level slot.

Multi have better thaco, more apr, better hla and the spells they get are enough

>>336251962
Multiclassing is simple, the XP is just split between your two classes. It's only dual classing that's more complicated.

Anyway, just pick whatever pure class and pump your main stat to 18. Can't go wrong with that.

Fucking christ, not only is there not a decent rendition of a tabletop RPG in a video game medium, but they couldn't get one of the most basic truths of the game right?

Assassins outside of 2e are evil. This is invariable, and a game that came out far after 3e was a construct managed to fuck this up

There's a mod that I've been really enjoying without having to do the whole shadow keeper business.
When you install it, it gives you options about how you want to change a character, you don't need to change their class or kit, if you don't want to

But the best part is, when you start the game, every character, in the special abilities menu, will have a spell to add or change their kit. So you don't have to manually change things for every single play through

>>336258507
Is there way to roll a completely new character, export it and use it as template for one of the NPCs? Something like completely overriding an NPC with a different one you made.

Even with shadow keeper, the difference between level 1 stats can be a pain to change manually, if you want to completely change someone's class.

Isn't the game easy enough without cheating though?

Alignment restrictions? In a Role playing game? You're shitting me. Really?

>>336258338
This is slightly more satisfying.

>>336258560
Assassination, be it a good or bad target, is an intrinsically evil act. There's nothing good, nor honorable in killing an opponent unaware of your presence. In Faerun, the continent on Abeir-toril, the world in which this game takes place, all "Assassins," by class, are members, mentored by, or descendant of a member, of the Guild of Greyhawk. Even in 2e this was canon. The Assassins guild of Greyhawk is, lorewise, an Evil group. Regardless of the target, be they good or evil in alignment, assassinating a target is an act of Evil in Faerun

>>336258619
See above response
Also I was not aware of this
I find that hard to believe seeing that there are class rules in Baldurs gate, NWN, NWN2, etc that are directly based on 3/3.5e rules

>>336259207
But a Thief sneaking up on someone and backstabbing them, or an invisible wizard blowing up a horde of goblins, is totally cool? Honor is a Law/Chaos concept, not Good/Evil.

BG came out years before 3E, and NWN isn't even an IE game at all. How clueless are you?
>>
>>336259408
Pretty much.
For example, suppose you wanted to change Imoen into a pure class mage because you already have a thief.
You can de-level her to level 1, but a level 1 thief will have different stats (saving throws, THAC0, weapon proficiencies) than a level 1 mage, so you still have to edit all of that by hand.
But generating a mage through the character creator and replacing the file that stores Imoen's stats would solve this. I just don't know how.

Druid/shifters are fun since you can shapeshift into a bunch of shit and be tanky in fights.
>>
>>336259739
Thieves, as far as their class-definition goes, aren't meant to use their combat abilities unless it's a life-or-death situation. Rogues as a class can retain any alignment because their sole purpose for existence is, you guessed it, stealing shit, not murderhoboing helpless NPC's

Killing goblins is like playing exterminator. They're seen as a pest, even to most of the Faerunian pantheon

I've touched these games slightly, and for no more than ten or so hours at a time. My original point stands, there's yet to be a video game to capture even the most surface nuances of their namesake

Just removed annoying class restrictions tha game had. Why can't i be a dwarf mage/thief if i want to roleplay one? Nothing more. Confirmed moron
>>
>>336260119
Your original point doesn't stand because it was based on something completely false.
>>
>>336260024
Because dual classing is better than multi classing, that's why non-humans cant do it with all the inherent buffs they have.

>>336260142
Did you ever think the game has those restrictions for a reason?
>>
>>336260029
Cleric or druid.
Cleric is almost as good in melee as a fighter, even better with buffs and then you have CC and damage spells.
Druid has an animal companion that nearly as powerful as having an additional fighter party member. Pick the one with sneak attack (panther, I think)

Stay away from prestige classes and just play a pure class on your first playthrough, it can mess up things.

Cleric is defensive oriented, druid has very powerful offensive spells.

>>336259754

>>336260614

World class shitter confirmed.

Dual class is better than multi cause you get the benefits of 2 classes with the xp progression of 1.

Good thing the 3e games enforce alignment restrictions for assassins then while the 2e ones don't. KYS retard
>>
>>336260750
That's not true. Multiclassing is dual classing but without one gimped class.
>>
>>336260898
Not him but 3e assassins are a prestige class that act as a guild.
They are different from other incarnations of assassins.
>>
>>336261030
No, multiclassing is 2 or 3 classes with the xp you get divided by the number of classes you have. Thus you level much slower than a single class or dual class.

>>
>>336260119
>Thieves, as far as their class-definition goes, aren't meant to use their combat abilities unless it's a life-or-death situation.
Aren't "meant" to? Then why do they have them - and especially why do they have high-damage abilities that require premeditated set up? Since you seem fixated on 3E, here:

>The rogue’s role in a group can vary dramatically based on her skill selection—from charismatic con artist to cunning burglar to agile combatant—but most rogues share certain aspects. They aren’t capable of prolonged melee combat, so they focus on opportunistic sneak attacks or ranged attacks

>Killing goblins is like playing exterminator. They're seen as a pest, even to most of the Faerunian pantheon
So doing the same thing to bandits would only be possible for evil wizards? What about someone who assassinates goblin leaders?

>My original point stands, there's yet to be a video game to capture even the most surface nuances of their namesake
Your original point was that it failed to carry through a restriction that not only do most actual groups ignore, but that wasn't even actually present in the edition. You can't even get being a pretentious hipster right.

>>336261189
Not true, because of the way the 2E XP curve worked. It's exponential, so you'll only be one level behind most of the time.

>>336261189
I'm pretty sure for example a cleric/mage multi will reach 10/10 with the exact same amount of experience that it takes a cleric to reach level 10, dual to mage and get to 10/10 again.

Of course the dual will get to 10/0 sooner, but then it won't be able to use its first class skills for a while. Dual is more of a rollercoaster ride, while multi is a smooth increase.

As far as a pen and paper RPG goes? Yes. Literally yes.

I understand how shortsighted that might seem but a class isn't just tactics, abilities or statistics. A class employs a background or a motive to a character, and from a roleplaying perspective, the difference between an Avenger and an Assassin is day and night... Almost literally.
>>
>>336262960

Are you unironically suggesting otherwise?
>>
>>336262960
>>336262969
No, killing a bandit to save yourself is not evil, for example.
But specifically hunting down someone just because he leads an organization is evil.
When there is a way to avoid killing, you should aim to apprehend people.

If you want to dethrone an evil person, you should put him to trial. If he resists arrest or attacks you, then you can kill him. But if you go there in the first place with the motive to kill on sight, you are evil no matter what.

Paladins are a special order that get their abilities from literal righteousness and fall and lose their abilities if they don't uphold it. That is not the same thing as "guy who uses poisons and magic and studies someone to kill them in one shot" because one has mechanical backing for their flavor and the other doesn't.

Back in the day CDP cared more about their customers in Poland and used to hire professional actors to do voiceovers. Also translations were just toptier, not to mention all this bonus cool stuff like wallpapers, concept arts (pic rel?), soundtrack and guides.

WIsh is a waste on anything other than Sorcerer or Wild Mage, because you're not guaranteed the right selection. That means wasting precious Level 9 slots.

Idk, I somehow manage to get the wand, potion and haste options. The only time I got the double time stop option was during the Ravager fight, and him being immune to time stop did me in.

After the whole mine nonsense it gets fun, it just feels like the build up into gaining entry to Baldur's Gate is really drawn out.

Problem with Sorcerer is after a while level 1 spells become obsolete, unless you plan on using Chromatic Orb a lot. Whereas a Wild Mage, can later on use all those level 1 spells as Nahal's Reckless Dweomer and rape shit.

Not many non-D&D games use them.

>Assassination, be it a good or bad target, is an intrinsically evil act. There's nothing good, nor honorable in killing an opponent unaware of your presence.

Assassination is no more evil than killing someone in open combat. Would you seriously argue that if the choice is between felling a tyrant's regime by assassinating them or letting their evil rule continue because no one can defeat them openly, the people should continue to suffer because of some arbitrary notion of "honor"?

What's Magic Missile going to do, when you reach TOB? Enemies have too much HP and have spell protections. Yes, it might be good to use as a disruption, but when you're up against a group of high level enemies, alone, is disrupting only 1 of them good?

Nahal's reckless dweomer lets you cast any spell you have in your spell book. You don't even have to have it memorized. You can theoretically cast level 9 spells as a level 1 wild mage by using NRD
