Do you ever log into the character selection screen and just stare at it?

I hear wild mages actually get pretty broken powerful in BG2

I really found this class guide informative, but yea it’s very much a power gaming explanation. I’ve listened to the entire thing (at the gym, sadly lol)

If you want extra challenge, there’s an incredibly popular difficulty mod I sometimes run on BG1 called SCS you could try too

Solo wild mage would be tough, hopefully you also using NPC’s. Once you get web spell things get much easier to manage I feel

Why is your DEX and STA so poor? Handicapping for extra challenge early on? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If not, Wis and Cha are fairly worthless for a mage I believe in BG unless you make them more valuable with a mod. You can put a bard on the team or use another NPC mage with decent wis/int if you like high lore auto-identifies without having to rest over and over to ID stuff.

High WIS will someday have good value if you plan to level this char obscenely high in BGII for the wish spells. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

However for most people, 18/19 Dex and 16 Con are very helpful for all the non-warrior classes in Bg1 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Dex I think you can get set to 18 with some gloves from the gnoll fortress.

Might be str but go kill Fippy's whole family just to check.

i might have to restart, shit's pretty fucked, but i did LITERALLY hiccup and a giant blob of acid came out, and started playing weird sound effects. wild mages are pretty nuts.

[Ekco]

or just switch to icewind i remember that one being easy as fuck and you get to fight some dragons

I've been doing a BG1 playthrough with a buddy recently too. Probably 1 more session and we'll finish the main story, then on to BG1.5, or whatever the game is between 1 and 2. I've never played past 1 before. Looking forward to it.

There is a 1.5?! Fuck! I just loaded my 1 character into 2.

IDK. My friend that I'm playing with has played all of these like 10 times over. That's just how he described it to me. I'm not sure what the title is.

We've done Tales of the Sword coast to completion and are moving in on the final confrontation in the base game. He said there is one other whole DLC/side game separate from BG1 that we do next before starting BG2.
