CoM_Solaufein Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Something about avariel/drow-crossbreed. Eh, maybe this is the wrong topic. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well in 3.5 you can have a half-celestial Drow <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll stick with my ancient AD&D rules.

Judge Hades Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 It never has in any of my 3e/3.5e campaigns. Allowing such things is not up to the rules of the game but up to the DM. In the d20 System the game master has the power, not the rules.
Darque Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Only an anal DM wouldn't allow it Unique characters are at the heart of roleplaying Though as a killer DM I can understand why that concept might elude you Hades. "
alanschu Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 He's too busy letting them take off in spaceships so he can somehow sap their innate powers. Funny how he demands that a CRPG be held accountable and anything less than 100% rule following is not acceptable.
Jorian Drake Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Well, I had to work hard for my char over more than 10 years, and this dissapoints me to see that there are a lot of bad 'clones' of him now How is it possible that i play him since 10 years? Simply: we converted characters from AD&D to 3.0 (and then to 3.5, can't wait for 4.0 :D)
Gabrielle Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Unique characters are at the heart of roleplaying <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No
Gabrielle Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Only in 3.X would you have something so obscene. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, but a good DM would say... HELL FREAKING NO! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's what I would say than I would boot the player out of the game. Go away loser!
Jorian Drake Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Unique characters are at the heart of roleplaying <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...hmm, not the Heart(thats the story), not the soul (thats the 'enviroment' of the game)... but it IS the spice of roleplaying ...oh ,and this spice has in it the Char backgrounds and good RP too
Darque Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Unique characters are at the heart of roleplaying <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know, you'd prefer carbon copy cutouts of popular fiction.
Gabrielle Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Of course. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Moose Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I like to swim against the water, so he was ever good alignment (and NOT becouse of Drizzt) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you say so " There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
Gabrielle Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Smiles everyone, smiles! Love BG1.

Diamond Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Unique characters are at the heart of roleplaying <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes.
mr insomniac Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Well you can take what are, on the surface, cardboard cutout characters and make them unique with role-playing, but you don't need to have a character no one else has, just because it's possible, to be unique. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.

Besides, in CRPGs 'uniqueness of characters' is still defined by gameworld as made by developers, since player has limited capabilities for interaction.
Gabrielle Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Unique characters are at the heart of roleplaying <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Absolutely not.

Dark_Raven Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Where were we? I am curious to see what people liked about Baldur's Gate 2 over the first one? It would seem to be more popular over the first one, which is why I ask. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Darque Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I kinda prefer the first one. I like my games to be about me
Lancer Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) I kinda prefer the first one. I like my games to be about me <{POST_SNAPBACK}> DING DING DING!!!! :D (w00t) I love you Darque! Finally, someone understands! I have been harping on this point for years! Edited February 1, 2006 by Lancer Lancer
mr insomniac Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 On one level, my preference of BG2 over BG is due alot to the improvements in gameplay and the tweaking of the infinity engine. Also the kits. The variety was nice. On another, party interaction was much deeper, and after seeing what was done with that in Torment, it was a definite plus. The quests were more interesting in BG2 than BG for the most part, and the story moved along at a decent pace. Plus, whether it was done well or not -- those more knowledgeable than I in the FR setting could answer this -- I enjoyed the Underdark. Ever since the 1st Ed. Unearthed Arcana and Dungeoneer's Survival Guide hinted at the possibilities of adventuring in the Underdark I wanted to try it. Damn Illithids. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.
