 solo play in BG 2
My son Alex and I were looking for a new challange in BG2 so we decided to start a party of 2 with just a fighter and a half elf mage / fighter /thief.
The multi class character was so effective that we wondered how it would go on its own.
We loaded some ease of use mods to allow some stacking etc. as carrying capacity was a big issue. We also loaded some additional traders to get so special equipment. We set the game at standard difficulty D&D rules
We were amazed at just how effective the single character went. The mix of back stab, hide in shadows and area effect magic spells that the thief and magic user classes give you plus the fighting skills of the comparatively high level fighter was an amazing mix. You do have to work hard as you can tend to be swamped if you get caught in a long melee. Though the big help was the magic rings, amulets and magical armour stacking that gve us a big bonus in combat and saving throws. This is needed because if you are charmed or dominated or confused the game stops even though the character would have come out of the spell in a duration of time.  |
