    [​IMG] well it happens that i always make a good alligned character so that i can get this damn reputation discount. But now after finishing my first soloing of BG2 i decided that it is time for some serious evil to walk among the faerun planes.(i always liked EVIL) :evil: so i made an assasin chaotic evil and now i have a brilliant duet with me and viconia spreading terror. well the purpose of this topic is to find out what kind of characters you like and with what allignment (without taking in to account reputation)

    Chaotic Good Human Male Berserker.With some magical assistance,he can kill Firkraag at 11th level.And with a archer,he can't be stopped.Berserker is absolutely the best class in the game

    I've only ever played one character. A good Kensai / Thief. I think this game would be challenging to play properly as evil. But I guess it would be interesting to try it as a challenge.

    If I could, I'd like to use a Chaotic Good Kensai, but thats not allowed.

    So I usually go with a NG Half Elven Kensai.

    Chaotic Neutral Sorcerer. Though the problem with BG2 is that it's even harder to play as neutral than as evil. Some quests have both a good and an evil solution, but did you ever see ANY quest which you can solve in a "neutral" way? Especially if you're trying to roleplay chaotic neutral...

    I like playing a Lawful Evil Human Fighter/Mage, but also like a Lawful Good Human Cavalier.

    When it comes to alignment, I often choose Chaotic Good.

    At the moment, I have an Undead Hunter so his alignment has to be Lawful Good. This has caused a few problems with some of the quests. For instance he would not even pretend to be interested in Gaal's new religeon.

    Given the number of Vampires the Undead Hunter kit has a lot to reccomend it.

    A long time ago, I played a G/C elven fighter. I do not remember so many moral problems as with a G/L PC.

    I rarely play Evil characters as I can't get into the role.

    I have never tried a Sorcorer. I tried a Mage in TOSC but a lone low-level mage is very short of spells and extremely vulnerable. Is it better for the higher level starts In SOA?

    Hydragyrum, the big difference in BGII is that you can get help (in the form of Imoen, Minsc, and Jaheira) straight away so the wizard's initial weakness is not as much of a problem as it is in BG where you have to wander aound by yourself for longer.

    I usually play CG or LG warrior types... Now I play a LN monk but I find the game kinda pushes you to a high reputation, even without you striving to be overly good (I have done what I consider duty in a way I believe to be humble, and I end with a rep. of 20).

    BTW, I am looking for a good pics and a voice set for my monk. Cernd's portrait is ok, but I have cernd in my party, and the only other one that seems fitting is Edwin's old one, but it's waaay too garish. As a voice set, I'm using Dak'kon's, but the blade references make it better for a kensai (sigh)

    I have always played a good aligned character because I like playing good aligned characters. Right now, I'm playing a lawful good human male fighter whose girlfriend is Aerie.

    By the way, and this may shock some of you, I have never, nor shall I ever, play an evil aligned character. :D

    I used to play good aligned characters but since playing a neutral evil fighter/thief that has become my favorite. Very In-ter-esting. :evil:
