I'd rather my henchmen from BG1&2 be dead than suffer the Larian treatment. They'll end up suffering some perverse physical comedy spout irreverent larianesque dialogue.

At least if they're already dead you don't have to watch them have their character assassinated by a pack of homos.
It is not so much a want for BG1 and BG2 characters to return, but if Larian had to bring back some characters for nostalgia I am surprised they chose Jaheira or Minsc over some others.
Minsc is absolutely not surprising, he was by far the most beloved companion from BG 1/2. Jaheira is a weird choice tho

Jaheira doesn't feel like a weird choice for me. She's a common companion that is almost always taken by normies in BG1 & BG2 and has a habit of letting her partners die and then shacking up with someone new.
Plus she's elfish so the huge time gap is justifiable. For all the human companions they have to make up some crazy shit about why they are alive.


--

That said..

What would be really weird is if a company came in and tried to make characters like Safana or Skie the focus.. God.. You'd have to be PRETTY retarded to do that.
Hmm, maybe I am just wrong then. I assumed Aerie, Imoen, Viconia, or Edwin would be well ahead of Jaheira or Minsc.

Minsc won't even be voiced by Jim Cummings so who cares.
It does suck, but Jim Cummings is going to die any day now. Maybe they didn't want to risk having to recast him like Wyll's voice actor refusing to come back.

You're not supposed to stick your dick into crazy, but I think only... Karlach, Jaheira, Halsin, and Boo are not crazy.

Two more questions.
1 - Does lightning bolt rebound in walls? I ask this cuz I was playing ADOM and lost a lv 23 human wizard cuz I wanted to press "3" in my numpad to hit a enemy and accidentally pressed 2, making it rebound and kill myself and no, you can't just reload in a roguelike.
2 - I only have 200 Gb free in my main harddrive. Is this enough for the full game?

Not sure about 1, but the steam page says you need 150 Gb.

On an unrelated note, I know some people enjoy this shit, but every time I read D&D players (and roleplayers in general, really) writing detailed backstories about how AWESOME their character already was way before hitting level 1 I feel this strong mixture of pity and contempt.
Well, even level 1 player characters are way stronger than average folks. Makes sense that they have some background and expertise.

Githgirl being level 1 is still nonsense.
She's can be just pretending to be L1, or she was power drained by what they did to her.

You should dodge lightning.

HDD or SSD?

I forget what it is but the germans have a word for empathetic cringing on behalf of the cringing of others.

How much is spent on 4k rendered porn scenes?

I went through this phase but it was my first character and I was 14 yo at the time, didn't comprehend what 1st level meant in the general scope.
After you have a notion of scale you go from retarded mary sue epics to simple beginnings. Problem is when you know the scope of 1st level and you are above 20 yo writing this sort of crap :lol:

A lvl 1 character has already something to tell but if I remember right what I wrote for my paladin background it was something along the lines of him being a adopted kid in a family of noble orcs (don't ask me why and it was 2004, I guess due to using a greataxe), him defeating a young dragon alone and the usual diarrhea of being top of the class in Torm Church.
Oh god just remembering I feel the shame in my soul.

Why are people saying level 1 characters? They'll probably be level 5, which is what you'll be by the time you get to Baldur's Gate to recruit them, if the experience flows as fast as during EA.

Just think back to how games used to only require 1-2 gb at most and they were still way better than this game.

Was making a crack at things like this

which I have seen for other games as well. Edit: which to be honest is probably the superior means of providing large texture additions because you can keep your install size from ballooning up instead of producing 150 gig min install size monstrosities.
