New in this version: Everything in this version is new because this is the first version of this guide. 2. Intrudution: Welcome to my Baldur´s Gate guide. In this guide you will find everything you need to complet Baldur´s Gate. So lets get right to it, shall we. 3. When you start a new game you will get full freedome to what your character should be good at and to be bad at. This part of the guide will guide you through your creation of your character. Gender: This one is up to you Race: I would choose half elf if I was you, because they have infravision and good race bonuses. But this one does not make such a big matter. Class: This one makes alot of matter. I think my self that the multiclasses are the best, choose the Fighter/Mage/ Thief because the character is strong from fighter, can do spells from mage and can steal, pick locks, hide in shadows and have special back stab damage from thief. Alignment: This one reprecents how good or bad your character is. Choose true neutral because they get well along with both good and evil characters. Abilites: This depends on what class you took strenght is for fighters, dexterity for thief, constitution for rangers, intelligence for mage, wisdom and charisma for paladin, bard and druid. Try to get 18 on the one/s that you have, but be shoure that none of the abilites get too low. Skills: If you have a thief or a multiclass with thief you will get a special skill window for thief skills. Stealth is for how good your character will be to hide in shadows, find traps is simple how good you character will be at finding and disabling traps, pick pocket is how good your character will be at pick pocketing and stealing from stores and open locks for how good your character will be at picking locks. After that ther will pop up a screen where you will choose at witch weapon your character will be best at using. After that if you have mage or a cleric a screen for spells will then come. Appearance: Does not matter a bit. Name. Its up to you. There now you will have your self a character. 4. Walkthrough You begine your adventure in nice city Candelkeep. From the position that you begine, you can go to your left and enter the inn. Go talk to the in keeper and buy anything you like. If you have a thief you could steal instead of buying. But if you are going to steal, you better save first. If you like you can go and talk to every one in town so you will get lots of small quest, but that is not needed right now. Go around the castle that is in the mittle untile you find some fountains. If you have gone to the right place a girl will come and speak with you. It does not matter what your answer. Go up the stairs and talk to the man there, it is Gorion, your stepfather. Say that you are ready to go, if you are. After that it will be a long sequence where Gorion will be killed by a armed figure. This faq is copyrighted to Promtech and Michael Tofer.
