Young enough to have been way to young to play baldurs gate when I first did all I could remember was that minsc was funny. I killed alot of gnolls, and being devastated when my "best" sword broke. (As I recall I gave up this playthrough when I got to the nashkel mines. not that it had much of a coherent order anyway )
As long as they dont do that thing of using a character model as the picture like NWN2 did... I liked the pictures from baldurs gate but each to their own right? I mean Its probably not going to be complicated to drop a custom in if that is what you want to do....
