Hail Lurkers,
Sort of a random question, but still. BGI/II are not bad games, though I do prefer the latter (if I make a handicapped character in ToSC, they struggle too much for even my liking until clvl3 - which takes forever to reach), but they became quite boring quickly: the fact the game is exactly the same every time means you do not have to play it much before you know every dialogue, every event, and there's no longer any real surprise left. I've completed ToB with a Ranger, a Thief, and a Transmuter (who could only use Alteration spells - very fun!); SoA with a Sorcerer and a Fighter/Mage/Thief (soloed). I've then made many, many other character, but they never make it past Chapter II; most do not even reach the Library in Chapter I :P
I'm sure there has to be more in the game, but I do not seem to be finding a way to get the last drops out of the rag: does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I have tried installing the Darkest Day mod, but that didn't really do much: the new kits almost all suck big time (I'm very disappointed in the Ninja and Samurai), and I never made it to any of the new areas before the old infant mortality kicked in ;)
