I'm holding myself back from playing (or having in my party) any druid player just for our multiplayer game. Mostly because I've played this game so long I'd like to keep it as fresh as possible. Kind of sucks too not that I've realised that Druids are the only class in the game that can get a mass invisibility spell (pixie dust), which late in the game is kind of cool from a tactical planning standpoint.
I may end up caving and getting Faldorn in my party (she's the only NPC who can get level 5 divine spells). Either way hopefully the multiplayer is all fixed up before the 18th (I imagine it will be because tablets and christmas/boxing day sales and all that).
Send me a PM or add me on steam (stuppen) - I've always loved baldurs gate / IWD etc etc. Never got to really experience the first BG in multiplayer. Lets play!
OK I need to vent for a sec., but has anyone else noticed these forums went to complete shit after the game launched? I swear I tried to help someone and the turned into a prick. This used to be the best forum on the internet now its full of a bunch of complete fucking assholes.
Loving the game so far. Just wanted to let you guys know I'm still alive, lol. Hopefully Overhaul gets to work on the multiplayer aspect of BG soon, but they may have their hands full with bugs.
Thank you for volunteering a teamspeak server! I'm familiar with it, as well as ventrilo, and skype, and I agree talking would make it easier to communicate tactics. If you wanna set something up soon, just lemme know. Same goes to everyone, although I heard that any more than 3 people and it gets real buggy.
Ok so I'm ready for the 18th, I just made my character with the following stats (which I admit took a long time to roll). I decided to go for the most ridiculously high roll I could find, and I did not put any consideration into intelligence purely because I don't imagine I will be playing this character in BG2EE unless they fix that disaster of an experience table for druids (if beamdog doesn't fix that I will be pretty disappointed).
Shapeshifter
STR: 18 (I wanted to be fairly reliable for carrying potions, items, loot, that sort of thing) DXT: 18 CON: 18 (Yea yea, I know what you are thinking, the claw of Kazgaroth was in my mind on this one though it would probably be a better fit on someone else) INT: 4 (only a problem in BG2) WIS: 18 CHR: 17 (someone could probably do better than me on this)
Skills
Club : * (frees up scimitars and staves for someone who will actually use them in combat) Single weapon style: * (this may benefit the critical hit for my werewolf form)
Our gorup still has a spot free... I think we're probably waiting until more of the bugs are worked out to start... The group configuration is as follows though:

Hamsters and Rangers everywhere, REJOICE!!!
So what's going on with our group guys? Are we still on for trying to play after the 18th or what?

@lukebagdarrel -- elven assassin
@elendar -- half-elf conjurer (chaotic good) (may do sorcerer instead)
@bul -- dwarven barbarian OR fighter/cleric
@fateascends -- elven fighter/mage
@Kodrak -- halfling thief (chaotic good)
Latest update says there is a large multiplayer fix... maybe we ought to see if it works with more than 2-players sometime.
