who's gonna wait all night for the release, I know I am! :D
and then I'll be sleep deprived for the next day.
Here's a challenge for all you players, to make the Baldur's gate experience a new and exciting one.
Rule 1: You can never quick load (load) to save an npc that has died.
Rule 2: You can not bring them back either.
Rule 3: All equipment attached to them is lost... forever.
Rule 4: All gold goes to the homeless, meaning you can not use gold to buy items and only use it for inns >:3 (optional)
Rule 5: Take the stats you are given in your first role, no changing the stats (period).
Rule 6: Come on guys help me out here, i need more ideas

    Good luck on your challenge, I'm not that hardcore.

    1pm MDT release, so depending where you are at on the globe, I suggest getting some sleep first.

    @CoryWeb Its 1pm MST release.

    Personally me I'll be sleeping tonight lol. Not sure why I would stay up in my position. Maybe if you were in the Middle East it might make some sense to. :)

    I like your ideas! I come from a PnP background so that sort of thing is pretty standard affair to me (aside from equipment disappearing; when someone died we descended on them like vultures!)

    @Elendar

    Is it hardcore If I play naked? O.o

    "I put on my robe and wizard hat..."

    I have enough trouble playing it without making rules to make it harder :-\

    Make your CHARNAME minimum in all areas for the given class. Have a nice time :P

    oh, here's another challange,
    Rule 5: take the character stats you get, "no" changing or altering.

    I'll bet no one here actually follows through on playing with any of these rules.
  • flame867flame867 Member Posts: 32
    @AlexDeLarge meh, doesn't matter, its just an idea for anyone if they want to do it. I personally think this might be a little fun.

    kick out your oldest NPC with his equipement when you meet a new one!
    play as a beastmaster, kill innocents and play as a fallen beastmaster!
    keep a low rep and elliminate the flamming fist!
    Play as a true non magical group: wizard slayer PC, kill evry single f****** spellcaster, no magic items, so dont pick them up
    Don't loot bodies (they might have sickness on them :O ) so only pick items in chests and stuff
    Dont take any loot! (good luck with that)

    i dont play by those, but i might try one of them one day (the no body loots seems fun to me)

    If the protagonist dies, you die too.
  • flame867flame867 Member Posts: 32
    @Wolk they seem interesting, But I have no idea how you'd actually win if you didn't loot period ._. imagine how hard bg2:ee would be.
    and some of those could be nice challenges.

    That's hardcore.

    I always liked the "Do not kill anything solo" challenge. How far can you make it in the game being passive and only killing people required by plot. Summoning/charming and having them kill something is not allowed.

    @deltago interesting, never heard of that one.
