New Game... For real!

Okay I will go ahead and organize this since people seem to be flaking out. I will check this thread every day!

If you want to play Baldur's Gate online, post a reply to this thread saying when you would like to play. Also list what class, race, and alignment you would like to play as. This doesn't have to be your final choice, it is just to get people to start thinking and to see if there are problems (say if we have a mix of good and evil and that bothers some people).

Once we get everyone together we can talk about exactly how we want to play, but this is mostly to get at least 3 people together. I think 6 would be cool especially if not everyone can make it every week.

"Commitment" is your estimate of how often you will miss a session because of work, vacation, family or health issues, etc. If you know that you will have trouble making it every week, or that you might get bored and just quit, let us know ahead of time!

Format:

Time Zone: GMT -8, (PST)
Days available: Saturday and Sunday, but sundays i'm busy from 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM.
Commitment: 90%
Class: Swashbuckler
Race: Human
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

    Okay... looks like we are all set. I think I am going to change mine to a fighter (berserker)... can't let that full plate go to waste : P

    I prefer to use skype for communication.

  • SteamerSteamer Member Posts: 25
    skype works for me

    Losman rolls a plateuser?:P
  • losmanlosman Member Posts: 11
    Sounds good if everyone is on board with that, we can PM each other our Skype names on Friday. Maybe we can get another party member before then.

    Looks like we could use a thief or bounty hunter for disarm traps. Or another divine caster. If we don't get our sixth player we could always take along Imoen.

    "Losman rolls a plateuser?:P" Had to take advantage of Shadowtiger's Skald's song with a melee character, but now that he is rolling beserker I will just have to duel him for the first set of plate, watch how fast I run when he pops bersker=) .
  • SteamerSteamer Member Posts: 25
    Lol, well 2 Ankheg armours are easy enough to get anyway :)
    I can spend some points to disarmtraps or someone max con and just run through them? :D
  • LiberelliLiberelli Member Posts: 170
    maxing con is my plan, and a globe of invulnerability can cope with most traps tbh, plus there's always knock for securing those pretties...
  • losmanlosman Member Posts: 11
    Sounds good, looking forward to it.

    Yeah I am on the fence between berserker, archer, swashbuckler, or fighter/thief... I haven't really played multiclass much except one time as a mage/cleric.

    For now I will go with swashbuckler! So far we will have 2 mages, 1 cleric, 1 thief, and 4 front line fighters. It looks like we are going to be an interesting party with a mix of good and evil.

    Can I have everyone vote on a few things

    1) Do you want to have power gamer characters with fairly high stats (18,18,18,10,10,10) or do you want to have more realistic stats similar to those of NPCs.

    2) Do you want to have some sort of voting system for important dialogue choices or just work it out as a team? I am thinking of something simple like rolling a die and whoever is highest gets to choose. Another option would be to simply do whatever gets us the most loot & exp...


    *Note - we have full slots right now, but people can still reserve spots on the waitlist in case anyone drops out. Just keep posting your info.

    Id say we roll whatever stats we want on our chars, if ppl think we are op or so we can always rise the difficulty. On the dialog note Id say we vote on important matters :)
    I myselg have played this game to many times, so I know basicly everything insideout so Ill try do a little worse character and let you lead the way
  • losmanlosman Member Posts: 11
    How about reloading? Will we try to keep it to a minimum. Do we use raise dead rather than reload? What about pick pocketing, if someone fails and gets agro from an npc do we kill it?
  • losmanlosman Member Posts: 11
    What is everyones primary weapons gonna be? Just curious so that I have less competition for drops. I was gonna choose axes.
  • MalanthyusMalanthyus Member Posts: 8
    Warmace I guess? On reloading, just have to be a bit careful. There are ways to afford raise dead scrolls etc. Ankhegs aren't sitting next to a farm for no reason after all. :P
  • SteamerSteamer Member Posts: 25
    Haha true about the ankhegs, ill go for dart/dagger/shortsword

  • losmanlosman Member Posts: 11
