Well it probably depends. My warrior is a sword + shield build so he is meant to be a 100% tank. Ties everyone up, soaks up all the hits, but it's not very fun to play. In most battles I switch straight away to Morrigan and issue the occasional command to the my hero to make sure he's blocking the right enemies.

If you play dual wield / 2 handed though it might be different. Your damage output is much higher and you have access to AOE attacks so you feel a little more involved.

patch is out that makes the game a little easier on easy/normal

Game is amazing so far, kinda regret not starting as a mage though.

Oh my god. Same.

I hadn't actually taken command of Morrigan until one certain Demon mission... and oh my god, it's so much more fun as a mage. I think it's disappointing that Warriors have such a poor selection of attacks in comparison to mages. Mages fucking rock.

Oh well, it means I complete the game and then play it again.

Never played Baldur's Gate 2?

Honestly, the arse-kicking insane abilities of a high level warrior are a laugh.



Having a level 20 beserker take on a red dragon solo and kill it just for fun with your ridiculously optimised gear on him was a good laugh (Korgan + Crom Feyr + any excellent plate armour (at least +5, or with a -1 immunity to normal weapons) = unbeatable.


Sure, mages could stop time and do so much damage it can only be described as a localised nuclear explosion and shit but high level fighters in Baldur's Gate rocked. Wade into a veritable horde of enemies and chop them to pieces without taking bugger all damage.





Same with most classes though. Clerics could summon epic out of control demons and then make the party invisible to them. Thieves could get you into just about everything, and back stab for ridiculous amounts of damage. Monks could instant kill certain enemies, stun disable enemies, had massive armour/damage without having to wield anything (ultimate gear-independent class), could get you into things you weren't meant to be in (not as good at it as a thief though) and worked excellent for finding traps as normally they could dodge them and take no damage. Druids, especially shapeshifters, were truly awesome spellcasters combined with absolutely EPIC hand to hand abilities as a lycanthrop. Bards were the only kinda retarded class imo.


Fuck this. Ordering hard copy tomorrow methinks. Probs get a USB to store some files for another game on there then uninstall it so's I can play the game. Storing games on my phone makes it get all jammy and shit.

I'm still quite behind in the game, had Morrigan with me for a little while and we are in the little town and i'm doing some quests, i'm really quite blown away tbh. I had an idea of what the game was about but it's so much more than what i expected.

I'm still playing the warrior, but he is a scrapper, Alistair tanks (kinda). I haven't really got to grips with the tactics system either
