For my next playthrough I'm a bit torn between three characters, and I would appreciate your input. So here are the options:
  1. Which character would you like to read about?46 votes
    1. Sampariy, a wickedly evil Maztican Wild Halfling Barbarian/Druid, though he simply considers himself a loyal servant of nature.
      43.48%
    2. Serene, a CG half-elven Beast Master (mainly for the challenge though her alignment will be roleplayed))
      21.74%
    3. Ocker, my NG Dwarven Skald and Field General, who died yesterday by a Nereid's kiss, resurrected
      28.26%
    4. Something else, but please explain!!
        6.52%

    Serene! I like the name and idea. CG alignment approved, beastmaster approved, race and name approved... I like!

    Please, please, please resurrect Ocker and let his tale continue! And for the record, I believe a low-to-moderate Wisdom score would suit Ocker's personality better. I've come to think of him as a well-learned, inspired and eager, yet woefully naiive and inexperienced leader, so caught up in heroic tales and grandiose ideas that reality has become a little blurred and alien to him. Though charismatic and physically gifted, he lacks the seasoning (not to mention self-control) of a true Field General. Perhaps a new adventure would give him the opportunity to master his impulses and bring out his inner wisdom.

    @lolien LOL that's hilarious!! :D
    Thank you! So Far the Balbalian/Druid has taken the lead... Pardon my ignorance but where Where's that still from btw?

    @Ballad, that's a very astute observation. It's exactly how I tried to roleplay Ocker (learned, high lore), but struggling in the real world with the responsibility of leading a party comprised of different individuals with different personalities, and also with his role on nthe battlefield.

    @lolien‌ you confused Biggus Dickus accent with Caesar's (or however his name is)! Nice joke anyway ;)

    @MacHurto, that's a very exceptional charname! In my modded setup I can't play one though, only in my unmodded BGEE that I only use for multiplayer purposes. It would be a great character for @Elrandir I think. I

    Oh well, it was my two cents :-) Barring that, I liked the skald :-)

    Serene intrigues me the most. She is close to a character concept I have entertained the thought of playing. I am especially curious how you would role-play her.
  • GoturalGotural Member Posts: 1,229
    I'm more interested by Ocker for moment, but I would like to point out than you only maximise the benefits of being a Skald if you play a 6 man party so it may be a no-go for you.

    I haven't the foggiest of how to do that, but I suppose if I could then I would.

    A dwarven defender/wizard.

    Though magic is as strange to dwarfs as breathing water is to humans, you have always had this ability. Considered by most as a freak, others as a threat and a few as a friend your diplomacy, already lacking for being a dwarf has done everything but improve.

    You also wonder, alone at night, why the gods have made you different.

    --------------

    There you go. A warrior/mage with something to it and shorty saves. If you want more magic, it could be fighter/necromancer (as the magic comes from the essence of the God of Death)

    I assume it can be done with eekeeper, otherwise, forget me

    What levels would you assign into each class just out of curiosity.
  • ElrandirElrandir Member Posts: 1,664
    @comebackhome‌ Personally, I would do a multi-class. Can't stand dual classes myself.

    @comebackhome‌ i was also thinking multiclass. It is a dwarf after all and his magic abilities are there from the beginning.
    For dual, i assume the typical 9/13 level to dual? Havent really checked the defender kit. It was just for flavour :-D

    If looking at it as RP, then lv7 as soon as BG2 starts

    Awesome! Yeah, sounds about right. But since I'm on iPad version, I assume I'll need some sort of specific application for transferring saves?
  • BlackravenBlackraven Member Posts: 3,486
    @Elrandir, hmm I couldn't rightly tell... Strictly speaking it's not a save. Can you not just paste the files in a folder named 'characters' in your installation directory?
    @meagloth, you're an ipad player, could you help here? @Tresset maybe?
  • CrevsDaakCrevsDaak Member Posts: 7,155
    Download iFunbox and browse in Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition/Library/characters, drop the file there :)
    You'll see a save, (if you ever started an MP game), mpsave, and (if you ever started a BP game) bpsave folders, those have the saved games (which are composed by a 0000000 folder with a .GAM, a .SAV and some .bmp inside).
    To install a mod with WeiDU you need to have your iPad jailbroken (because you can't edit the dialog.tlk otherwise), either way you can make a Portraits folder in Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition/Library and drop the files there, they should work (meagloth can confirm, lunar as well).
