    Have you guys ever roleplayed a multiplayer game based on a movie? I was thinking about doing Willow or Lord of the Rings but I bet a lot of people did those already. I'm gonna try Sinbad, the new animated version. Sinbad will be a human swashbuckler, dual-wielding scimitars. I haven't settled on the alignment but I'm leaning towards chaotic good. His first mate is Kale, who will be a neutral good barbarian probably using blunt weapons. The love interest is Marina and being an aristocrat, she'll be a sorcerer or specialist mage. I'm guessing lawful good for her. I'll have to watch the movie so I can get a better feel for their personalities.

    Yeah I know it's not as creative as roleplaying your own characters, but it's all about having fun, right? :D This will be my first time roleplaying BG2 (I only powergamed previously) so the movie will help me stay true. Hehe with a barb, swashie, and sorc I'm practically powergaming anyways. Any suggestions to improve my experience are welcome :D .

    Be that as it may, I have a hard time believing that "roleplaying" a bunch of your own-made characters will make it any easier. If you can't get a roleplaying feel to the game with all the ready NPC-dialogue in the game, then you sure won't be able to do it on your own with a few player-made characters either.

    I´ve made a LoTR party once with my favorite characters from the movie. Although I reccomend you play the regular game with the premade NPC´s more than once before you make your own party since alot of the game experience comes from interacting with your party.
