Guess there won't be that many people playing through this still, but for those of us that are, or can remember from when they did, what name, race, gender, class, alignment etc. did your main character have?

[Chebby]

You mean our first characters? My view on main characters is basically characters you felt the most comfortable/pleased with. Regarding my first, I must've been eleven years old. Created a lame half-elf archer... Wasn't that great.

My first bg2/tob character was a male half elf mage/cleric and the only one to have completed the game. Dont remember the alignement but it was in the good alignement as i was romancing aerie. As for my first bg1 i really dont remember its way too far back in my memory.

[Eurypterid]

First BG1 character was a Paladin. Lawful Good alignment, obviously. Can't recall for BG2. I believe it was a FTR.



Currently playing a FTR in BG1 again, with the intent to dual to mage after I hit FTR 5.

I just finished Baldur's Gate(for the first time today!) with a male human fighter prioritized in bows and large swords equally, bows later on. I picked neutral good, as that's at least at the start what I would have considered him.

[igneous.sponge]

It's difficult to remember. (I was only eleven, as well.)

I think my very first BG1 character ever was... a Transmuter? I thought the class name was cool. Heh, the character didn't last very long, though.

The first character I actually stuck with was a Paladin. I re-rolled so many times I ended up with a stat total of 101. Yep, good times.

[Morbidest]

I took the simple approach with a male, human fighter, chaotic good (robbed from the rich to give to the poor - naturally deducting a necessary percentage for expenses    ), long sword and shield style, named Herc (anyone else remember that pre-Xena TV show?). I think it took me a long, long time to figure out how to finally bump off Sarevok. Then I got hung up at the vampire den for ages because somehow I didn't notice that there was a 3rd vampire tomb to stake.

[Humanoid_Taifun]

My first character was a dwarven fighter named Thor because my step father had said that that's what I should be playing on my first run. I imported him to BG2 just before defeating Sarevok for the final time (had killed Drizzt already though) and left him shortly out of Chez Irenicus to try a different character. I still have the character file.

Fighter human with 18 intelligence and 9 constitution!

Bad... bad...

[Flamedance]

My first BG1 character was a paladin. First finished the game with a human fighter (was my third character, iirc). Had to reload the final battle with Sarevok half a dozen times before i finally got it right. Nowadays even the improved SCS battle is a piece of cake....BTW: David W., if you're reading this i expect you to upgrade that battle a bit for us veterans.

I don't remember my first SoA character. Finished ToB for the first time with a sorceror. I most clearly remember my first Ascension game where i was swearing and throwing insults at the screen...had to leave for a walk several times just to cool off. But i also remember the immense satisfaction when i finally pulled it off. Still remember that character ( a cavalier named Benedict) fondly.

[Seagloom]

My first Baldur's Gate character was a male half-elf fighter/cleric. I dropped him quickly though. There were a few others that followed. The first character I finished the game with, without cheating, was a male human paladin specializing in large sword (for greatswords) and I think crossbows? I forget. I dropped him shortly after clearing Spellhold.



The first character I finished Shadows of Amn with was a female human cavalier, also specializing in two-handed swords. The first character I took all the way through Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal was a neutral good elf fighter with grandmastery in two-handed swords, quarterstaves, and the rest in two weapon style and some missile weapon I can't remember. Back then my favorite weapons were all greatswords. I played countless characters through Shadows of Amn, only to drop them in Saradush. On a side note that elf romanced Aerie.

[Son of Imoen]

I played BG1 vanilla the first time, with a Neutral-Good half-elf Fighter/Mage called Gildor (I followed Dan Simpson's walkthrough to the letter) up until arriving in Baldur's Gate. By then it was too easy, a walkover. Bad, bad: don't use walkthroughs full of spoilers except for helping you out of a though situation.

Started a Tutu run back then with the Hard Times and SwordCoast Stratagems mods, among others. Played and finished the game with Kheltick, again Neutral Good, half-elven and casting spells and wielding a longsword, but this time as a Bard, Shadowkeeped to Blade in chapter 5. Finished the game a long time later with him, for the first time ever.

By then, lots of other characters started the campaign. Two of my favorites where females: Ihrene, a half-elven Mage (with kit), and Ohrlinka, a gnome Cleric-Illusionist. Both women suffered from bugs in the campaign and I restarted both with a new install. The half-elven maiden who was an Enchanter, became Conjurer in the second run. Alignment: still my favorite Neutral Good, in-game I want to save the world from evil just as much as i want to in real life (saving the environment, standing up for minorities etc.). But the gnome girl was a bit more of a ruffian, I made her Chaotic Good.

*edit: added names

A fighter/mage/thief chaotic good half/elf BG1 vanilla, can't remember his name though. I think that he reached the friendly arms where you know who killed him.

[Son of Imoen]

actually I got a start-from-the-beginning addiction as well as a sword-wielding spellslinger addiction. After having rolled some 20 characters (half of whom are still wandering around ridding the SwordCoast of evil and finding out who is out to kill them), a second character is about to finish the game: another Fighter-mage (CN) named Radagast (after Tolkien's Radagast the Brown, colleague of Gandalf the Grey), is on his way to the final battle. I hope he'll finish it, my desktop with all of my campaigns installed is in repair right now, having to re-install Windows would be a pain in the ass if I have to re-install and tweak those 10 campaigns I've got going.

Anyway, I had a giggle when I could name a save-game 'Radagast killed Ragefast' at a certain point in the game (reloaded for the peaceful solution though - that's another addiction of mine: reloading, I wouldn't be able to participate in the no-reload challenge, would be some severe kind of Rehab for me 'oops, I did it again' ).

[Remmirath]

My very first characters will go largely unmentioned, because not only do I remember very little about them but they didn't make it  very far. Suffice it to say that one was killed by diseased gibberlings right out the door, and another wandered lost until killed by a bear.

The first character I ran through the whole series with was Ithenrael, a male elf mage who started out chaotic neutral but ended up neutral evil. He's probably still my favourite one. That tends to happen with the first character I actually finish a game with.
He mostly had damaging spells, with some protections and a couple of random utility spells. His party wasn't the best statistically speaking, but they remain my favourite over-all (I usually play with a whole created party instead of NPCs). 

There were a few characters I didn't care too much about one way or another or who didn't make it through the whole series, and then the most recent one was Virelys, a female half-elf ranger who started chaotic good and ended neutral evil. She switched between bow fighting and two-weapon fighting, switching completely to two-weapon with large swords by Throne of Bhaal. Her racial enemy was some type of undead, but I forget which one now.

Despite the alignment similarity, they were quite different. I have yet to actually finish with a good character, but I intend to do so someday. I had a cavalier once who got all the way to Watcher's Keep before I gave up on her, but that's the closest I've come for that.

My first main character was a half-elf thief which used my first name: Ivan and then I added the word 'Swifthand' as his last name for the ultimate cheesiness. Hey, I was 12....



Seriously though, although I cheated my way through the first BG(i regret it this day) I still consider that half elf thief to be my canon character for BG, and any characters I might roll up in following games(i.e. Neverwinter nights) were sometimes the offspring the Iven Swifthand and one of the love interests.



the character was completely childish and horrible btw, both rp and gameplay-wise. an absolute comic disaster

[Arbor of the Woods]

The only character I've finished the game with was a NG human cleric.
I've recently become partial to Fighter/Thief.

Same here, had a big epic storyline played out with my first character.

Male half-elf fighter/mage/cleric

[Giovanto]

My first for Baldur's Gate (I was very young) was a human (or was an elf?) fighter. I played him briefly before constantly swapping for a different toon to experiment with. Never did finish BG1 (though I'm playing it again, BGT style). BG2...I made a mage as my first. I called him Sheik and he was very powerful. Until he died when I formatted my PC. My only toon to make it to the end of the game was my Mage/Thief named "Garrett" (in reference to the game "Thief", complete with a custom soundset and portrait). Garrett would kick your ****. I had some kind of armor (no idea where to find it) that gave a number of enchantments, extremely high AC, and didn't disable mage spells. It was green and I think elven made. I don't remember what it was called nor where to get it though...

[Bhryaen]

This thread is old, but I can't help replying...



My first character was a fighter/thief/mage elf (can't recall the convoluted elf name) which I got to the end of BG1Vanilla with a party, but I had recruited the fighter/thief from the initial Cloakwood area and discovered that he was the superstar. I was able to leave the party in one corner of the area and then use him to wipe out everything, making the rest of the party useless.



The next game I played an elf fighter/thief alone with no party and did marvelously well, though I can't recall if his experience through BG2Vanilla (ToB) was as easy. It did work though

[Fallschirmjager007]

My first ever SoA character was a Paladin. I played for about 5-6 hours before I realized A) I completely messed up his stats, giving him low constitution, dexterity, and strength, and I had missed a lot of good items in Chez Irenicus, since I didn't know how to use a thief at the time. So I completely restarted (again with a Paladin) and was able to finish the game with him, Aerie, Imoen, Minsc, Anomen, and Keldorn. That's been my favorite party combination ever since (sometimes swap out Keldorn with Mazzy). What can I say, I'm a righteous do-gooder!

[Kahiara]

I recently got totally mocked at a LAN for my character... however it totally amused me that my character was a better fighter and theif that the tank and theif our multiplayer had. I rolled like 93 in BG1 and with all the stats boosts it's quite nice... I still like it... (and with my innate healing skills/ToB I can do everything.... "just not well" is the joke someone is going to make, but I think I rock!)

[wise grimwald]

At the start, your character's thieving/fighting abilities may well be better, but specialists will improve faster than yours.

Still nothing wrong with a jack of all trades. We need them as well as the specialists.

Probably the best type of character to solo with.
