Baldur's Gate 2 is so good it makes me cry

I'm not big on mods, but I might want to try them for a bit to mess around.

And yes I did have a monk in my game as well. I did a few tricks to get 2 created characters in with 4 NPC's. My monk was invaluable. At least until I got saravek in the expansion. Saravek seemed to actually be just as good if not better than my monk. Of course he was evil, but I couldn't resist.

Just try a sorcerer with a half-dozen or so summon planetars.

Again, not a character you can go through the first BG with, Monks aren't much to speak of in the beginning but become obscenely powerful towards the end.

Fighter-Mage and Cleric-Ranger combo's are pretty good too.

I guess you haven't tried out either the darkest day mod or David Gaiders Ascension yet?

Both are pretty well recommended.

but until then...

My sorcerer was awesome!! It take a little time to buiild up strength though. He sure came in handy on that one guy/dragon who kept disappearing. I would have to keep casting true sight. With the expansion you can get up to your maximum spells per level. 5 spells usually covers all the important ones. I have Imoen as a backup for any spells not covered. Imoen sucks compared to my sorcerer. Of course it helps my sorcerer had all the cool items like robe of vecna (this item really made him powerful).

It's nice being able to cast like 7 or 8 Azi-Ha.... Horrid Wiltings... Very nice spell to be able to cast multiple times.

I played BG1 as a mage - and am playing 2 as a sorcerer - although I find the class rather restrictive..

Ok so I just finished the expansion throne of Bhaal one hour ago.

Although I have yet to play the original. I have the game, and I think I will, but I wish I could do kits. I want to go through the whole series as an evil character with both expansions. Although that could take more than 4 months!!

Graphically it isn't much, but I like the gameplay. And yes I even like D & D rules for the most part. I look at sytems like Dungeon Siege and they can't even compare to the complexity of Baldur's Gate.

What's a good character class to play through Baldur's Gate 1 with? I just finished 2 with a sorcerer- but of course they aren't in the first game.
