Handy tip - well cheat really

[Joxer]

Start up a multiplayer game and do all the easy stuff and go around killin everythin - i.e. bartenders, commoners and that - just be wary of the flaqmin fist and save regurarly and repeat until u have a 4th level charcter then export them and start a single player game and inport saud character - startin u off in the game at level 4. btw - i finished the game first b4 doin this

Heh,

got a better one, use multiplayer to get a character with all stats at 25, then import that into single player game, you really shouldn't have very many problems after that.

Tigs is right - I'm 1/3 of the way through completing it with an all 25 char and nobody else in the party... The only problem is the 89000xp limit...

Anyone got a good cap remover???

[tiger]

erm nope,

but I'm perusing the BG & BGtales message boards at interplay to see if I can find one.

feedback.interplay.com/bgtales/ (http://feedback.interplay.com/bgtales/)

If I find one I'll pass it on.

Jeez, and I thought I there were a lot of messages on these forums... Thats my Monday night taken care of then http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

I too will have a look - I think I saw one somewhere but that was before I'd completed it and things like that are just too tempting once you have them downloaded http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

maybe i'm being really thick, but how do you get a character with all 25 stats?. I have never tried because i actually disagree with cheating, but it sounds pretty fun to play the game with 1 super person http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

I'm sure you cant start a multiplayer game with an all 25 character so i assume you mean collect loads of tomes and use them on 1 person. Wouldn't that take ages though?

[tiger]

heh,

easy to get all stats at 25. Tomes are the key, as is multiplayer, BUT, you don't have to do it all over and over again. You can start a game with all stats at 25, just takes a while to do it. If you want a character with all 6 tomes, let me know http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

[dan]

ok, could you send me any cool characters you have m8 http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

[VELVET]

It is actually quite easy to do once you've got the tomes - and after you've completed it once it does add something else to the game... Especially if you do try and complete it with just the one char http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

[VELVET]

I'm presuming everyone knows you can start a multiplayer game against yourself on one PC??? It makes it slighlty easier for tome swapping and weapon swapping and can also be quite good fun if you've got more than a couple of characters... You can do everything you normally would but have the option of exporting the whole party at the end as well as dropping any characters along the way if you meet some nice sexy NPCs (like Branwen http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif)...

Heh,

Velvet mate, down http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

I quite like the cook in the Cloakwood Mines, at least she ain't the shy retiring type http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

Restarted my one character attempt, so I'm a bit behind you, heading towards 5,5,6 http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

I've stuck my Fighter/Thief/Mage at xp 0 with 25 in all areas and all 6 tomes here:

[Athanateus]

Velvet - I'm glad this isnt a game we can run tournaments on - otherwise you'd end up as the Club Captain for this as well http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

Not sure what that would do for its popularity though m8 http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/teeth.gif People would probably lose interest in it straight away http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/frown.gif

It would be interesting if we could develop some sort of tourny structure though... Perhaps a 4 player deathmatch around Beregost or something http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/shades.gif

Any other ideas???

[Trio]

How about a little team game. U and Tigs vs the best of the rest. Pity there's a 6 player limit http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

[Blow Dog]

You barstools never emailed me your characters, yet i mailed you mine. Not very nice of you, especially as one of you's a moderator

[VELVET]

Sorry m8 - I was too embaressed at the time to send it to you - it just wasn't good enough...

The one a few posts up is a bit of a cheat one which you might like but I'll also stick the fighter up when I get home from work...

[Jock]

I must be such a cynic.

Playing with characters who have all 25 stats!!! Hah. Bet the kobolds don't expect that..

"Growl, grr, frip" (here come some more stoopid adventoorers-translated roughly) Says Fritz the kobold.
"woof, errrup, gr" (hehehehehe) replies Curt the other kobold.
The two kobolds jump out on the unsuspecting leather armour and dagger equipped fighter.
"grrr - gis your ..Urk.."
Splat, kablooie, thunk.

The kobold skin wearing fighter wanders off...

Ps. The planet I live on. Very sad.
