Icewind dale portraits halfling bard10/4/2023 ![]() That said, I've played the EEs unmodded at first and despite having played both games with and without mods before I still found it to be a very enjoyable experience. I certainly don't want to discourage you from using mods, there are absolutely awesome mods out there and most of them don't take anything away from the vanilla experience. Of course the halberd is not the most bardish weapon there is.Īlso, longbows are never bad in bg1, shortbows are pretty cool in bg2. If going the melee Skald route, there is a really nice halberd with good damage balanced by the fact that it can never attack more than once per round.a trivial trade-off for a bard. When in doubt, Long/Short sword, scimmitar and Katanas are never bad (okay katanas are bad in BG1). ![]() But that can be done even when playing neutral good, it just requires that you keep your rep in check for a bit.Īs for the best weapons, that higly depends on the game and your party : the blade is at its best when dual-wielding but considering he can't specialize (unless i'm mistaken) he'll be able to master a bunch of weapons anyway. ![]() I will point out that mingling with evil npcs is necessary in order to get a spellcasting armor in bg1 (unlike the Fighter/Mage, the bard cannot wear robes of the archmagi). Alignment is entirely up to you of course. Half-elf is mechanically the better race (elven resists and slightly higher required stats which will make rolling a wee bit easier) but not by that much, you could play human without losing on much. Skalds couldn't steal candy from a toddler. On the other hand, they will be able to steal, although not very well. They won't get enough lore to identify everything just by looking at it in the first game however, so you might have to use a few identifying spells (for those damn scrolls mostly). I don't know much about Skalds and thus cannot answer your first question. Sorry for my bad English and thank you so so much in advance to whoever would be so kind to give me some advice! Keep in mind that I really value the RPG experience, so I am not seeking to build the best more powerful unbeatable bard in history but more of a true Sword Coast enjoyable character to have fun with For example, IMHO a blade should not use a weapon like a mace, or a good guy should not target Drizzt scimitars ![]() This is gonna be my first BG:EE run: should I enjoy the vanilla experience or should I add some MODs? Maybe the cosmetic ones? What about weapon specialization? What is the best weapon for a bard? Should I choose dual wielding if I go the blade route? Race and aligment? I am thinking about half-elf and neutral good (I'm good inside, what should I say) Keep in mind that I plan to start with BG:EE and go straight to BG2:EE. Is it true that the Skald is more of a stand back guy, more good with long rage weapon? If yes, I think I'm gonna go with the Blade, a kit that I never played and that is really intriguing to me. I'm undecided between the Skald and the Blade kit. My first love was the bard class and I plan to stick with that for my next run. This is the first time I'm gonna play the enhanced saga though and I think I need some help to shake off some rust As I said in the welcome area, I'm new here, but I'm not new at all in the BG world.
