Best class for getting all of the achievements.

Swarmkeeper109

Hello friends, a thought came to me earlier about how many achievements you could get with one character. Obviously you couldn't get them all as there are a ton specific to what class you pick, but you could get most of them especially if you save and reload the ones that have multiple endings. I'm thinking of a fighter, as they can get grand mastery, wear the best armors (untouchable achievement), have the second best health (juggernaut achievement), can use all of Balduran's equipment etc, etc. is there a better class I'm missing? thanks in advance!

.....Fighters are certainly a good all around choice. However, I would suggest a fighter subclass, namely the Berserker. While berserk, you are immune to a crapton of status effects. Yes, you are weaker when the berserk status wears off, but keeping you safe afterwards is what your companions are for. Also, pick true neutral as an alignment; this will let you adventure with any type of party, whether they are on the side of the angels or villainous as heck.
.....You could, of course, play a lawful good character and recruit Hexxat, Dorn, Korgan, Edwin and Viconia into your party, and justify it by telling yourself "well, I didn't actually SEE them do anything horrible". But all of those guys have a personal quest line that is, at best, borderline. Try doing the "Dorn's bloody quest" side plot. You can try to pretend that you are still Good afterward, but the local law enforcement agencies will beg to differ with you.

Berserker would certainly be the way to go if I do decide to go with fighter, or decide to do it at all since it was just a shower thought on how many achievements you could get on one save. A bard may also be good as they can get the lore master achievement, and once they get UAI you can use a lot of items to help with other achievements, perhaps getting more than fighter.

So I tallied them up and I think ranger and paladin would get the same number of achievements as fighter (getting oathbreaker instead of grandmaster) and bard (blade) gets only one less (juggernaut in bg1).

I'm pretty sure archers can get the most, because at first I thought they got the grandmaster achievement instead of the untouchable achievement, but then I remembered with spirit armor they could get both.
