Baldur’s Gate 2 Enhanced Edition: Best Evil Party Combination?
Right now, I’m deciding on giving a purely evil party a try. There’s a LOT of ramifications by choosing this path since the vast majority of this game is based around being a relatively good party. What I want to discuss here is the implications of choosing an evil party and how that can affect…

Baldur’s Gate 2 Enhanced Edition: More Theory Crafting Class Combinations
Having beaten Shadows of Amn again, I decided to just mess around with the party creation process and see what I could come up with considering all the new classes. The first thing I decided to try was taking a good aligned party again and toying with some statistics, gear and dual class possibilities. Here’s…

Baldur’s Gate 2: The Journey Continues (with the Enhanced Edition)
I’m still slowly going through the various areas in Shadows of Amn and making mental notes of differences in the game as well as trying out a few new things that I missed with my previous runs (such as doing the full romance quest line with Jaheira). As I attempt to rush through several areas…

Before getting into something I’ve started up recently, let me just rant about how my Alienware just bit the big one today. I am having a repair guy come down to replace the motherboard, which I think has been going after a while (I thought it was the video card or memory), so hopefully I…

Baldur’s Gate 2: Another Mistake and More Party Ponderings
When I concocted my latest idea of a party in including Keldorn, my assumption was that he could use the Amulet of Power, thus making him immune to level drain. It seems that my version of the game might not have the correct patch, despite picking it up from GOG.com (which I heard had a…

Baldur’s Gate 2: Single Player or Multi-Player?
One of the biggest questions a starting player might ask is whether to go single or multi-player. What does both mean in terms of game play? Multi-player does not necessarily mean playing with other friends but just having the option to have more than one custom character in your party. The best option is to…

Baldur’s Gate 2: Dual Class Mistake and Taking A Fighter/Mage/Thief
I decided to give one of the parties I mentioned a try in terms of starting from scratch. What I attempted to do was create a cleric/swashbuckler. Unfortunately, I discovered the hard way that this combination was not possible, at least not in that order of creation.
