Yes!!!!!!

Spoiler:

And i cant figure out which skull it is that the Bones guy wants. And I think ive mislaid it anyway. And i dont have a save at a suitable point to go back to.

oh well, you've had him most of the game. He's entertaining. That's all. You may be past the point where he explains why he lied to you.

There's a lawful evil fighter you can pick up soon I believe. He's hard to get. You have to talk him into joining you.

You might want to revisit some areas of Lower Ward, as new options appear as the plot develops.

What's the story with multiclassing? Meaning, how do I gain levels in classes other than fighter?

Also, if I gain weapon proficiencies as a fighter (e.g., if I specialize in the use of daggers), then do I keep that specialization if I start gaining levels as a mage? I just finished the quest where I had to retrieve that guy's beads, and he's offering to up my proficiencies, but I dunno how this business works.

from what i gather, Nameless one can switch to a new class by getting trained by one of the folks who offer. Ive gone from fighter to thief and back to fighter. Once youre the new class you accumulate XP like usual. Im not sure you can ever get your old class back except by retraining again.

My general sense of the game is that
1. Gaining levels is not as powerful as in BG.
2. Fine points of combat - weapons proficienies and such - are harder to manage, and less significant - and therefore given all the other stuff you have to follow, not really worth paying a lot of attention to.

I say pick a weapon specialization and stick with it. For example- edged. Maybe keep a backup like blunt weapons if anyone is resistant to edged.

Multiclassing can be simple- and complicated.

You can switch at anytime whenever you find a trainer. You go to the new class and cannot use your old class. But you can switch back at anytime as long as you have a trainer around. And you begin accumulating XP in that previous class from where you left off.

The part where it may become complicated is those bonuses you get at 7th and 11th level (I believe it is at 7th and 11th). You could get the figher bonus at 7, and the mage bonus at 11. Or get mage bonues at 7 and 11.

Either way. I recommend either fighter or mage. thief is okay, but you can just use

Annah

and she's hot too. So there's not reason not to use her . And having 2 thieves seems to be a waste. There is also a priest you can get is hot as well. So you are in good company.

ive started playing again - i little hard to get back into after a couple of weeks away - thats the problem with RPG's, I guess.

Im in the clerks ward, just went through the art gallery, will head into the festival.

I'm going to try to be evil this time through -- I've played through twice so far, and both times I ended as either lawful good or neutral good. Time to be a bastard.

I like that they don't allow the fallout-style "evilness" of just killing random townspeople -- the Lady doesn't stand for that for very long.

Question:

Spoiler:

If I kill Trias before he tells me how to get into the fortress of regrets, is there any possible way to win the game? I tried it just to see what would happen, and then I couldn't find a way out of Carceri.

[Illuminatus]

Spoiler:

You did WHAT! I am not clear when did you kill him, in final confrontation in Carceri? He asked you to spare him but you chopped him before he told you the info? I must admit that I haven't tried that. If I remember correctly, portal to Hive shall appear in cases you spare him or not, so it should appear here, but acting so, you may have severed plot triggers. I am not sure if game developers thought of that. Try redoing that, if not, it seems that developers forgot that, or are intentionally being evil.

Is this the sort of game you can play through multiple times?


Edit: oops tried to delete this - mods?

Do you enjoy playing PST again after having been through the plot once? This is my first time, but it doesnt strike as being as replayable, as say, BG.

Yes.
