Baldur’s Gate 2: Best Route Quest Route?
When you play Baldur’s Gate 2 a few times, you eventually learn what works for you in terms of the game progression. Shadows of Amn is pretty flexible in giving you a fairly non-linear setup so you’re essentially open to do the various quests in almost any order you want (outside of certain key story…

Baldur’s Gate 2: Perfect Combo Party? 3 Custom and 3 NPCs?
Before getting into something I’ve started up recently, let me just rant about how my Alienware just bit the big one today. I am having a repair guy come down to replace the motherboard, which I think has been going after a while (I thought it was the video card or memory), so hopefully I…

Baldur’s Gate 2: Another Mistake and More Party Ponderings
When I concocted my latest idea of a party in including Keldorn, my assumption was that he could use the Amulet of Power, thus making him immune to level drain. It seems that my version of the game might not have the correct patch, despite picking it up from GOG.com (which I heard had a…

Baldur’s Gate 2: Single Player or Multi-Player?
One of the biggest questions a starting player might ask is whether to go single or multi-player. What does both mean in terms of game play? Multi-player does not necessarily mean playing with other friends but just having the option to have more than one custom character in your party. The best option is to…

Baldur’s Gate 2: Dual Class Mistake and Taking A Fighter/Mage/Thief
I decided to give one of the parties I mentioned a try in terms of starting from scratch. What I attempted to do was create a cleric/swashbuckler. Unfortunately, I discovered the hard way that this combination was not possible, at least not in that order of creation.

Baldur’s Gate 2: NPC Party Compositions
I prefer multi-player play more than the single player option just because of being able to have the ability to customize my party, even if i merely choose to create a single character. However, after writing a few lengthy articles on customized party combinations, I decided to put some thoughts down on using a single…

Baldur’s Gate 2: Just Beat Throne of Bhaal for the First Time
People might wonder, “Why did it take you so long to beat a game that’s over 10 years old?” My reply is that I just have been distracted and never really put the time and commitment into going through the entire game. I’ve defeated Shadows of Amn a few times but for some reason Throne…

Baldur’s Gate 2: Dual Class and Multi-Class Modification Wishes
After the latest play through of Baldur’s Gate 2 and from writing my previous article on classes and party combinations, one thing I’ve come to realize is that you’re still somewhat limited on a few possibilities. Of course, the game introduces limits to provide a sense of balance but the balance introduced in Baldur’s Gate…

Baldur’s Gate 2: More Class/Party Discussion
I finished Shadows of Amn once again yesterday and began Throne of Bhaal but have made little progress thus far. The play through on my party consisted of a human kensai/mage, human undead hunter, half-elf ranger/cleric, Jaehira (half-elf fighter/druid), human wizard slayer/thief and elf fighter/mage. Mostly, I just powered my way through and did most…

Baldur’s Gate 2 Fun over the Weekend
Despite taking a break from pushing World of Warcraft, I still enjoy playing through a good game. Right now, there’s not a lot of new games that really entice me and I’ve been meaning to go back and give Baldur’s Gate 2 a spin again. It takes a bit to pick up where you left…
