Did you pick one of the origin characters? The free-form “origin” character The Dark Urge? A totally custom character?
And what class are you picking and excited about?
Custom human paladin. I’m super vanilla with my choices so lawful good avoiding using my worm at all costs.
Until I read the second comment, I thought you meant your pant worm, and I respected your RP ethic. Still do I guess
LOL
Well for which first playthrough?
For my solo good playthrough I’m going half elf lore bard.
For friend A playthrough I’m going high elf storm sorcerer.
For friend B I’m going half orc battle master fighter.
For friends C and D I’m going our original DND characters so half elf rogue
I heard one of the devs said it’s better not to pick an origin character for your first playthrough, so I made a custom one.
She’s a mephistopheles tiefling bard noble. I’m trying to make a kind-hearted roleplaying character to compensate for the violent monk my friend made :P
I’m excited about all the different spells I can get, especially the “social” ones. There are so many options to choose from that I feel overwhelmed, in a good way :)
Never played any of the previous Baldur’s Gate games, despite being a PC gamer since the early 90s. I don’t know how, but there you have it.
I’m playing a Githraki Sorcerer. I’m really enjoying it so far.
My only issue is that I’m having trouble getting used to the movement and camera controls. Other than some time on the original NWN games back in the day, I’ve only been playing Diablo games and FPS for decades, so I don’t know if I’m missing something or if I’m just too accustomed to those types of controls. Or I’m just getting too old. 😁
I am old. Playing with a controller is way easier. You move the character and the camera follows you.
I didn’t like the keyboard/mouse curser click character move and having to move the camera to him.You can have the camera move automatically by double clicking the character portrait or pressing the home key
More than half the time when I press the home key, the camera zooms in on my character but facing the front of my character which is almost never what I want.
How is that easier?
Mouse and keyboard is smooth as silk and controls resemble all other crpg’s
Solo play, doing a paladin and making a very conscious effort to not use the brain slug powers.
In my play through with friends, I’m a monk.
In EA I tried the eldritch knight, a moon druid, and beast master ranger.
Hermit, half-orc, way of the 4 elements monk.
I am playing old human bearded Wizard. I found a wizard hat to cover my balding head. I am looking to learn find familiar so I can have a pet.
Dark Urge Gith Warlock, great old one patron.
Already had two extra tenants in my head, three’s a party with the tadpole.
It’s gonna be dark.
Half-drow dark urge warlock. Interesting reactions to my race so far.
I first picked Barbarian so I could mess with Athletics, then restarted and picked Warlock because I thought I’d save that fun for multiplayer, then restarted and picked Druid because I realized I want to do stuff I hadn’t tried and don’t recall seeing a druid companion in the trailers.
Bard life!
Happy and merry drow bard. Unsure what my multi class would be yet
Anyone have suggestions?
I got a 1 Cleric, 1 Monk, 10 Bard Drow I’m playing as priestess of Eilistraee. That’s why I got the level in Cleric (war), the one in Monk so I can fight naked. Wish the game had a hairstyle that’s a bit longer than what we currently have, but it’s fine.
I can’t decide between half orc barbarian or drow warlock
I picked the edgiest start, The Dark Urge. :p
I really liked that they made an origin character with a baked in story but didn’t give it strong characterization so you could customize it entirely. I really like the origin stories but feel as little constrained sometimes.
Planning to explore the new powers so went Vengeance Paladin for a decent face who can still rush in.
The bearfucker of course
