Just spotted this. I'm glad that someone else still plays what for me is The Game! I like to play Bard, half-elf. It's a bit of a challenge until I get the elven armour which doesn't disable spells but thereafter it's so much fun because I have a choice at how I respond to attacks. I also enjoy the stronghold quest for the bard! Very amusing. 

I really like the Infinity Engine...
