I haven't played the second IWD, and is going to be a long time before I can. I bought it, and I couldn't coax my computer to run it <cries>!
How much I want to play it, though... Can you say "All-Aasimar Party"? Is there any real significance in the "preferred class", though? Having at least one Paladin leading my party is a given, but do Aasimar get any bonuses since it's their "preferred class", or is that just suggesting what class to pick if you want to do some roleplaying? Likewise, do Dwarves get bonuses for being Fighters, Elves for being Sorcerors, etc.?
I never completed IWD, though. I uninstalled it after having to deal with all of those damnable Fire Salamanders and Tarnished Sentries every five seconds in Lower Dorn's Deep. I hate those stupid fire auras. That, and the fact that I couldn't tweak every graphical setting to allow my computer to attain a decent framerate while in that area (it was chugging along at about 7-12 fps on average in that area).
As for the movie subject, they'd probably end up butchering Baldur's Gate to fix it into movies, but if they managed to pull it off, it would almost certainly be the single-most successful movie series ever created. It would level anything Tolkien could do, anyway <_<
And yes, Minsc would make it successful.
"I turned to shield Boo, and have lost my spell. I am NOT sorry."
That, and Sarevok would be rather interesting to see, especially if they allowed him into the party.
"What if we were to return to Baldur's Gate together? I wonder what people would say?"
That, and it would be worth it to see Sarevok beat up on Anomen in the movie. Anomen's a great cleric (better than Viconia, anyway), but he DOES get on my nerves. Good thing I have Sarevok along to keep him in line -_-
And who could possibly forget Firkragg? Firkragg is THE man. Er, dragon. Yeah. He's MUCH cooler than Smaug :)
And everyone knows that Jon Irenicus is the coolest villain ever conceived. From his past, to his evil evil aspirations, to the way he talks... he just radiates evil coolness. I wish my Paladin were so cool :(

ArrayPaladins were not meant to sit in the back of the raid staring at health bars all day, spamming heals and listening to eight different classes whine about buffs.[/quote]
