Wanna play earlier bg games before bg3 goes live also, just up in arms on what race/class to play though.
Same! I’ve been thinking of another run through BG1/SoD/BG2 pre BG3. I even opened BG last night then decided I’d need to ponder my character more before starting. Given their appearance in BG3 I was thinking of a party with Minsc and Jaheira. Which means Khalid and Dynaheir as well (I know they could meet with “unfortunate accidents” but I kind of want the whole playthrough to make sense). So that leaves me only one more companion slot, and needing a thief. I might use Coran because of his possible link BG3 link via the Mindbreaker comic and his son’s adventuring days with Minsc, and I’m not sure I’ve ever kept him in my party for long before. Which would then give me a fair bit of freedom for my Charname, though probably they should be on the back lines given Minsc, Khalid and Jaheira are enough up front and a bit more magic might be handy. Though I can’t recall whether Jaheira will be enough for healing/divine buffing or whether I could do with a cleric too. Perhaps a bard, though it’s a pity they don’t get healing spells in BG1/2 and the fact that they can’t use their bard song and do anything else at the same time, iirc, makes them a bit underwhelming.
Decisions, decisions …
Ya, it was a toss up between Bard or shaman. Didn't know there was a comic, ill have to do some googling later, thanks. I've only gotten a couple hours into the game previously, so I don't really know half those names. But seems well prepped more so than I, have fun.
