I must say that i alway love D&D games like BG, NWN, Icewind Dale etc. But somtimes the Prologs of this games was realy disapoining (in my opinion). Let's take NWN 2 for exampe. YOu created our character and then you land in sobe house in West Harbor. You are a man from the small village. You pick up driud class and ..... and problem. HOW you obtain you druid abilitis ? In West Harbor was no driud tu teach you ? Bisides Druids don't live in big citys, they live in forest .... So you go to a conclusion that you will play paladin .... bumm... second problem .. there are no paladins in hest harbor .. agoin who thech you this kind of abilitis ? The come fron thin air ? But for mages there was an option tho than "mages student biografy" and then 1 of lokal mages becomes your teacher. You abylitis are justyfide by this mage, when you aske your self "How i abain that mage class?" ... the answer was "Tarmas show you some tricks" etc. That was simply not realistic, samtimes i felt that my character comes from moon. There are few ideas of fiksing this unseanseably issu 1 Class obtaining thru the story line Let's say that you edit everything BUT you charatcer class, you always start as "undefined" class at the begining with no abylitis (or with abilitis that all classes has) and thhen you must lat's say join some gild for obtaining it for mages - mages gulid, for paladins - paladin orders, druids - druids "gulid" (you whould propably need to leave the city). Then you must do same quests and when you done you get fully nominated for you first class and you luses "Undefined" becomeing new. 2. Difrant orgins of you character according to class. (dragon age orgins) This is secoud option, you can start game, chose your class but when you do this you will start in difrent circumstances. 3. Choiceing or creating biography. This way of explanation for the presence of your character and you abylitis we seen in BG, NWN and Ice wind dale. In my opinion it worked for some classes (those that could be larned from 1 person and not need to join organisations). Fighter, rouge, mage, bard, wizard and soucerer lived with it but classes like druids, clerics, hunters, paladins or even barberians not so well in my opinion. In my opinion it fulfills its primary role, but it was not a solution to our chaaracters beginnings of our characters and the biography as it should. 4. Explaining charakter class and knowledge/ talents by presence of proper teachers. This type of solution we seen in NWN 2 when we played as mage, then whe got you techer Mage named Tarmas that was teaching from chilhood. It's good option but again no all of the classes. Druid still will feel that he don't belong to the pleace. If you had your own thaout or solution to this problem please please share your thoughts with us. Thank you.
