Hi folks,
This is not my idea and maybe it’s a quite common though as I’m not really aware of FR background. A guy « Coopernicus » talked about this on Reddit. Maybe he goes around here too. He played IWD with a relative of Caelar Argent, like a grand father whom is also a paladin. He took a young Gorion in the party too.
I found the idea very cool and I wanted to play the game in this way too. We cannot continu with IWD2 obviously but still make link with BG.
So im thinking of create a party like him, no power gaming thoughts haha
- undead hunter paladin Geralt Argent
- Gorion mage straight (monk dual mage isn’t possible
)
- Alianna. I found on the wiki that she and Gorion was lovers and she was a priest of Bhaal. In her class description she is a berserker ... so she will be a human berserker7/cleric. Gorion’s ward will be a human berserker when I will reach BG.
- Reevor, the dwarf in candelkeep, is a dwarf defender with axes/hammer
Now I’m not very sure who could fit? - Volo as a bard? I love bard of course.
And no Idea for a thief ... initially I thought that Ribald fit very well as a bounty hunter elf or half elf but in fact, he seems to be an F/M so... I kinda stuck.
Maybe it’s totally pointless and delusional but I’d like to have your expert point of view.
Thank

A fellow forumite made a time line a couple of years ago. Look here: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/65246/timeline-of-the-bg-iwd-nwns-and-planescape-games
An IWD prequel seems feasible imho.
Ps. Gorion is secretly an elf... thats why you cant resurrect him in BG1..
it takes place before the times of trouble as priests of bhaal were in 2.
Yes ! I feel the same for a priest too!
Yeah, I know that much. IWD2 takes place before Drizzt even comes to the surface. So its not an insignificant period of time.
I read somewhere but can’t remember, that Drizzt was born something like 87 years after IWD1 ... I have to check that too
I’d like to play IWDee1 and 2 with the same team ... approx 30 years after. Geralt Argent the paladin would be significantly older and wiser (take no money for reward in IWD2 if I remember correctly). When I was younger myself, I played original bg1 a bit and bg2 a lot and IWD2 but not IWD1 ... cannot remember why btw. I guess you guys have played the two with the same team....
Thank and sorry guys
