What EE Game are you Playing?

Skarose

I'm curious after all these years have passed, what are forumites playing(or planning to play real soon)

I'd be interested in knowing what draws your motivation to play your current run. Why did you choose the current game to the exclusion of the others?

Plus details about your game, class/kit, party composition alignment etc...

Having my first go at a shaman, actually. I often start characters with the intentions of bringing them all the way through to ToB, but restartitis gets the best of me..

I'm really enjoying this character so far though, so here's to my third complete series run.

Skarose

I found an image online by the artist Eve Ventrue. I thought it was so cool looking that I wanted to make up a character based on the image.

*Art by Eve Ventrue

I figure the guy looks pretty handsome (18 Charisma) Dressed in all black with a Katana on his back (Looks like an evil kensai). So I created Ravnhardt (93(18/98)), lawful evil, because I imagine him as a sympathetic evil character. He is all about personal honor. He loved Gorion and love Imoen like a sister but is single-minded driven to vengeance and has no mercy for any who gets in his way. I took him through Baldur's Gate and am now in Siege of Dragonspear. I dual classed Ravnhardt to Mage, because he's all about gaining more power, just recently capped out and is a beast, doing bad Kensage things to the denizens of the Sword Coast!

My party in BG was Baeloth, Viconia, Shar-teel. My current party is Baeloth, Dorn, Safana, Viconia, Neera although to be fair they aren't doing much but following Ravnhardt and carrying his stuff.

IWD.

I'm still in the party-planning stage, and I don't know if I'll ever scrape the time together to actually play, with my schedule as it is.

I'm really less interested in the game play than the the music and atmosphere in the game though. I love the way it feels to play IWD.

Pity that there's no multiple choices option. I am playing BG series run solo and IWD in multiplayer mode atm.

I can never settle on just one. Lately I've been using EEkeeper to do fun things with classes/races.
Running a lawful good Stalker/Cleric, kinda like a holy warrior that roots out evil or unnatural creatures. Rather than worshiping a god, ascribes to the force of good in general and any deities that want to grant spells and abilites do so. He is a homebrew Elf/Orc (Erc?).

I am playing Icewind Dale for the first time. I miss the BG series NPCs, but I do enjoy running an optimized full party. I don't know how much replay value IWD will have, but this first run through is a lot of fun! I'm disappointed that there are no Steam Achievements for the game though.

I'll probably finish my Halfling Swashbuckler's run through Siege of Dragonspear after this. I still have a few achievements on SOD to complete.

Arctodus

I'm trying to go through the Trilogy with an unkitted fighter solo... with SCS, Ascension and LOB... I really wonder if it's even possible, but I'm gonna try...

I've been almost entirely playing Baldur's Gate 1, because I'm working on a big mod for that game and I need to test it.

An anecdote:

My evil party barged into Algernon's room. Montaron the Fighter/Assassin snuck around, poised to steal Algernon's cloak. But then Algernon turned into his true form, revealing himself to be a doppelganger. Still wearing his cloak, he charmed Edwin and was going to attack Xzar, but Montaron backstabbed the doppelganger using his flaming sword, doing almost 90 damage. The doppelganger died and the protagonist put on the cloak. Montaron then proceeded to pick the lock on Algernon's dresser and open it. But then...

"Someone spotted you! You hear the guards being summoned!"

Darn it, Edwin. Well, at least the doppelganger won't be there to ambush the party when they fight Tranzig.

What's the point of starting up in BGEE if you don't intend to take it to BG2EE?

Vallmyr

I just recently finished by 1000th BG1 run but this time I'm actually playing through SoD since it exists XD

My plan is to play through BG1, SoD, BG2, and ToB.

My current party is

Cu Sidhe, TN Half-Elf Blade Bard (using my profile picture and just RPing that he is a Kitsune using disguise self)
M'khiin, she's smol and great and summons things
Glint, He's smol and loveable, and needs protection.
Corwin, I like her and she seems to belong story-wise.
Viconia, I love Drow so of course I'd take Viconia.
Edwin, I've never used Edwin in BG1 or BG2 so might as well use him in SoD!

I haven't been playing these games for around a month or two, I think im at the stage where im just played out, although im thinking about an IWD/HOW run, I have heavily modded my IWD game ( of my own design) , and have done some modding to my HOW game, so maybe I will go back and retweek a couple of things in IWD and finish off my modding of HOW

Ayeotiee

Currently playing IWD:EE.

DJKajuru

I'm currently playing BGEE+SoD with a human Blade , and I intend to go through the whole saga with him.

semiticgoddess

It's what I grew up with.

lroumen

I play all of them all at the same time. But if course some are slower than others. Currently bg gets preference. And my bg2 protagonist is restarting a few times when I find out my modded kit is suffering from bugs.

winters

I just realised that playing Shadows of Amn after SoD will be very difficult for me, bordering on impossible. There are too many loose ends, context missing, discrepancies... eh.

I'm currently "off-season" with BG:EE. I'm playing World of Warcraft for at least the next two months, because I just dropped 50 bucks on Legion. After that, I still need to finally finish Pillars of Eternity before Pillars 2 comes out. I couldn't finish it before, because of excessive restartitis, wanting to try different classes.

Playing WoW has gotten me really into druids. So I want to run a druid through PoE, and I also want to build a druid mastery toon in Grim Dawn.

I'm curious to see if I can build a druid equivalent character in Divinity: Original Sin.

I have a druid Stormbringer I've run all the way through NWN2, and is sitting ready for me to run him through Mask of the Betrayer, which I've never finished. I also want to try running a druid Shapeshifter through NWN1.

Eventually, I'll cycle back around to BG:EE, where I also want to run a druid. I'm still up in the air about which kit makes it the most like a WoW druid - probably shapeshifter, and just pretend it's a werebear instead of a werewolf.

I have a lot of games I cycle through. RP gamers have a vast array of choices nowadays.

i promise i will finish sod one day

Kurumi

Just returned after another looong break from the IE games & started a new Sorceress (+3 custom companions) for a run through the whole BGEE-series (haven't played SoD so far, so am really curious about it *^_^*). I was also thinking about a new IWDEE run, but haven't decided yet, if I should wait for the next update..

JumboWheat01

I'm holding out for the "2.0" update for IWDEE myself, particularly for the graphic style that was introduced in the BGEEs with 2.0, as that REALLY helps me see the difference in things. My colorblindness can be annoying when I don't want it to be.

GenderNihilismGirdle

I would have answered "series run" not long ago but now I'm replaying a lot of SoD content just to see different party configurations
