I wanted to start a new BG game, but at the rate I play by the time I get into it the EE will be out and I'll need to start over lol. Maybe I'll give IWD another play-through to whet my appetite. :)

    Favorite character I've ever rolled for IWD, and one I rarely see anyone else bother with:

    Fighter dual-classed into druid once I gain 5 proficiency in Large Sword (for Scimitars) or Spears.

    Druids are incredible in IWD. Black Isle added a lot of really cool spells for them in that series over the BG saga.

    Absolute minimum need 15 strength and 17 wis AND 17 cha to pull it off, so he'll be dumb as a brick and there's a good chance you'll only have 7 constitution (don't go lower or you lose HP per level!) if you want the person to be viable but with a little patience and a whole lot of luck on your rolls, it's arguably the most dangerous unit you can have.

    Tried playing IWD to bridge the gap. It's just not the same :/

    I'm playing IWD right now too actually. My favorite character is Thief dualed into Fighter, can deal over 80 damage with backstab. Can pretty much easily single-handedly take out any boss susceptible to backstab, just carry some potions of invisibility.

    IWD is cool I just wish there was more to it... and the Luremaster expansion sucked... tho I know it was just DLC.

    playing that now while I await BGEE. no real favorite as far as character types go. current party is pretty "plain jane" but I find em enjoyable none the less to pass the time. ~

    I highly recommend installing the IWD NPC Project, for a more Baldur's Gate like experience.

    Thanks for pushing me over the edge, sigh. I'll go grab my discs.

    Just completed it a few days ago.. First time I completed Trails of the Luremaster! Kinda disappointing, no real "end" in that quest.
