I was wondering, is it "possible" to play the whole game without using any NPCs??? Coz if it is, then I'm gonna try it!

Yes, check the topics about soloing.

Its possible. I am currently trying my first solo game with a sorcerer. I think its alot of fun, but if you go with a sorcerer, be sure and plan out what spells you want. Dundee has some good lists for ideas.

What's the advantage of playing BG solo?

Blytzz 08-01-2002 06:37 AM

Your character will level faster, but other than that, its kind of a fun challenge.

I think there is no real "advantage" besides the pure fun of trying it ;)

OTOH some quests will never appear as they are triggered by your NPCs, for example Ployer or Anomens sister.

After a while, when you have played the game countless times, and tried virtually all types of party combinations and alignments, you reach a stage where the challenge seems lacking.

You bump the difficulty to Insane, but it is still too easy.

So you try the next step, soloing.

Note: Soloing is not for the faint of hearted and first-timers. Soloists are generally already experts at the game and know the game details inside-out.

<font color="gold">Soloing has become quite popular for the ones who have completed the game some times.
That's fully understandable, though, soloing is very fun and much more challenging. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

Hmm... thanx for the information guys, anyway, do u guys import a old character or make a new one when playing solo?

I start from scratch, and strictly play without cheats or NPC help.
