Adventuring Praty

[Venegal]

I recently started Playing BG II again and noticed the companions I take around have marely changed since 6 years ago, and then I noticed that my Chracter Creation and Companion Combinations are very similar to the ones of NWN II, MotB, DAO and DAA...

 

If you usually make a original Combination for your Chars in DAO or DAA dont hesitate to share here, just curious ^^

 

Well, basicly I always play a Human Fighter, in all D&D game types, a charcter balanced between Strenght and Dex, usually one Handed + Shield. For example in NWN II I played as a Black Knight, Heavy Armor, mostly focused on Strength, in Origins I played a Male Human Noble Fighter focsued on Shield Training, mostly wearing different tiers of Scale Male or the Formal Armor of Obsidians Nobler Nobles.

 

Now about the praty, basicly I always have two fighters, one would be Me, the other a total brute, usually in full heavy or Massive Armored or plate armors with one big hammer or axe(dwarves are really great for this). I use the brute fighter as a Meat Shield and my self as an Armored Wasp, keeping the enemies busy while other members can destroy em. In NWN it was almost always Kelgar Ironfist, that drunk layabout or Kasavir, in MotB it was Occu and in Origins eaither Alistair or Oghren, mostly Alistair because he was also the best man xD. Oghren also for DAA.

 

One Mage is also around any time, just need some massive group @#$% sometimes that only mages can offer, credit goes to Qara in NWN II and Morrigan and Anders in DA.

 

Rogues for lockpicking and such crap, although I never use even 20% of my rogues potential in any game, just give them a bow and barely take a look at em, in NWN it depended on I needed more Ranged attack or Rogue qualities that made me choose between Neeshka and Bishop, in DA it was always Leliana.

 

Allthough I sometimes changed the group for fun, like in NWN II I somtimes(when damage wasnt priority) changed Qara with Elenne because I romanced here, or replaced Neeshka with Gnobnar Gnomehand(Hahaha that guy is still the funniest thing ever happened to gaming) also in Origins, about 90% of the times my group was me, Alistair, Morrigan and Leliana, which was kinda against this party philosophy of mine which made me consider making my char or Alistair a brute which turned out very fishy... In Awakening my Co best man was Anders, and Oghren, the other spot was mostly Sigrun if I wanted to balance the group, but after the whole Oghren hitting on her thing became to much it changed to Natahniel and sometimes Velanna when extra Magic was needed, never fought alongside Justice besides the Marsh.

 

Well yea thats pretty much it :D
