best/favorite race/class

[Lady-Rose]

My favorite would have to be human, because I like to think like my character. Since I'm no elf (reminds me of a vulcan, Spock anyone?), I prefer to keep it somewhat real, and a bit more challenging. Sorcs rule. If they are too lame beginning, start them high level. NWN_Platinum, Create character in HoU-Chp1 (takes you right to level 15), then use that character in the beginning. A bit too easy if you ask me, so be sure to reset your options (ie. easy vs. hard).I did the first chapter both ways, and I definently prefer the level 15 character on the harder setting. I do agree that it depends on your preference though. I tried to play a straight fighter and found it to be easy and dull. To each his own. I think I'll try an assassin next. It's always fun to do it new.

Elves all the way for me. And rogues all the way for me. NWN, BGII, whatever - I play the closest thing I can make to an elven rogue.

yes, elves are absolutely the best and the coolest race! humans are good enough... haha...

My favorite char in NwN is Half-Orc fighter/barbarian [I have no expansions].I started the game with 20str ,12dex[full plate armor has +1dex max ,so 12dex fits nicely] ,14cons ,8wis,10int and 6 cha[no need persuasion much I am chaotic evil ]
I really had fun with this char ,through the game I never had difficulty with any creature ,I just plainly attacked anyone I saw with my greataxe and knockdown the mages, and in the last chapters ,with my 35str [with rage this score is not going further so my rage became half-useless ] I chopped every boss in my path with ease.I also collected 760.000gold

***But now I have a bad problem : In chapter 4 where two dragons attack you; I slayed them ,then I opened the two guardian gates but I CANNOT ENTER THE CAVE ,it seems my half orc is too tall or large to enter the cave
I left click the cave in many positions and I also try right click and try to press use ,but only examine option is available for this entrance.***

Because of this bug I just cannot finish this game, any advice for me maybe?

The extra feat and skill points give humans an edge in my opinion. I only played 2 charcter types, but thought they were both excellent. I played a druid (which as a class has improved somewhat since BGII) - a decent fighter and you can recruit a small army to follow you (your animal companion, an animal which you have charmed, a summonned animal and a henchman- note will lower exp you can gain if you have too many buddies) - Animals/ summoned creatures are far better than those in BGII - they seem harder and often have their own feats (often akin to other class types)- plus you can heal your animal companion just by talking to it. Spells are good too, combine with the maximise damage feat and use call lightning to kick serious ass - plus you can morph into a red dragon at higher levels! If multiclass to a monk you get all the unarmed bonuses to use when you shapechange!
I also played a blackguard- Fighter with backstab capabilities- nuff said!
