What do you do for the most fun?

I don't know what it is, but I'm just a little bored right now. What do you guys do in your games to spice them up a bit?

I don't know exactly what I'm asking for here, but I want to play some BGEE, just don't feel a direction to go in right now.

    Install a few mods, try BG1 NPC Project and SCS - you'll definitely remember the experience you'll get. These two mods will make your game much more different. Taste them!

    Wow! Someone actually mentioned Ironworks

    I didn't mention Ironworks before, but I did link to Ironworks before:
    http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/comment/435436/#Comment_435436

    There were many knowledgeable people at Ironworks. The SixOfSpades was impressive, as was DundeeSlaytern.

    I was mostly a lurker, though. I was more at home at GameBanshee.

    Edit: While I'm at it: The Ironworks BG2 Classic Threads Collection

    No-reload + SCS. It's the only way to fly :). (Though you may become bored if you go with full Mage prebuffs. I prefer the "only long-lasting spells" pre-buff.)

    My personal favorites: Use found potions early. Only spare a few special ones for special situations.

    That's great advice for the hoarders in the audience, like me. Not sure why, but even though I've played the game more than a few times I still hoard potions, items, etc.

    I've been in the same boat till I installed the SCS mod ;)

    SCS mod. No reload. As less prebuffs as possible. No kiting or hit and run tactics. Party can retreat only if the battle is lost.

    If the battle is lost, my party cannot retreat let alone exist...

    Sometimes I just go with the first stat roll, write an appropriate back story, skip the prologue, go straight to Gorion and exit Candlekeep. From there I let the character's background and innate abilities determine the initial course of action.

    I am not sure just exactly what is causing your boredom.

    Advance the questline?

    Put the AI on, and let your peeps do things automatically, perhaps?

    Try out a party with NPCs you haven't tried for spice and variety.

    Do an evil party run.

    You've been warned!

    Also,

    does anyone know if the Phoenix Guards in Nashkel are still in the cemetery? They're usually loads of fun, especially when you get the entire town involved.

    They PGs are still there, and if they accidentally on purpose kill a certain bounty collector, he might have some worthwhile loot on him (guilt free murder, yay!).

    Now listen, Ralphie. If you're bored with Balder's Gate, you're playing too much.
    If you're not bored with Balder's Gate, you're not playing enough.
