It has been a few years, so I am reacquainting myself with Baldur's Gate in preparation. Just started chapter 3 or BG2.

For those who are doing likewise, a question:

What character are you playing now and what do you anticipate playing when BG3 releases?
I tend to remake the same characters over and over again as much as I can in all of the RPGs I play, but when we have a sequel with a new protagonist I feel obliged to try something else.

In BG 1 and 2 I am playing my head canon Bhaalspawn (and I am trusting that Larian is sharp enough to never mention the name Abdel Adrian in their game and shatter this for me), a neutral good, half-elf fighter (berserker) named Alumyr. I am not usually a fan of straight melee characters, especially berserking ones, but something about the idea of my character constantly trying to control an almost overwhelming persistent sense of rage for his entire life - which turns out to be the product of his unique bloodline - and that it is this forbearance which actually trains him to eventually reject this heritage is just so thematically appropriate. Berserking is also great against Kangaxx, and I like getting his ring early.

For BG3, right now I am edging towards a Drow (maybe half Drow) Warlock. Perhaps give him one level of rogue in the full release. Just going full edginess.
