Since the first official topic about NWN2 and Layonara is out and we know that Layo will go on into the future, let us speculate a bit. Those of you who have played one character for a long time - months, maybe years - what character are you going to start on January 1st? Will he be just like your old one or an absolute opposite, what class will he be etc?

>> Ar7.
I´ve been playin some here. On n off for like a year I guess. Ive been playin a cleric/fighter. It sure has its advantages but abit narrow... Hack n slash kinda figure. I grew tired of him, mainly though because I ´m lookin forward to NWN2, and have been for some time. Before Layo Ive played the singleplayer modules and some multiplayer aswell but since Layo I just cant go back to the single mod if u know what I mean...
I have an attraction for the dark side of NWN and will surely play a char of "evil" deity... But then again Im thinkin of a druid...
So my best guess is Im gonna join as some kinda misanthrope anyways... Probobly as I stated a druid but maybe an arcaneist of some kind...
-
Definitely another Bard. A chance to "fix" some of the errors I made in Kat's development would be great. Will do another wizard as well. Not to sure on the cleric and fighter types.
-
If I had to start over...
Another bard, no doubt about it.
-
I've had some ideas in mind. Pole-arm specializing human barbarian (the idea somewhat ported from my Diablo II days, but he has a story, really!), brownie healer, maybe a ranger-type since NWN2 would be the 3.5 ruleset and combat style for archery would rock. But the crowning jewel in my plans is the Sorc/Wiz. Yes, that's right, I'm going to do the unthinkable and see how it works. ;)
-
I'm having great fun with Zug... he's a bit simple (in many ways), but fun nevertheless. But, I'd probably want to try something different so that I'm not just playing the "same character" in a new setting. If I were to play another half-giant (even though ECL 3 is a hard obstacle), I'd switch it up a bit and go for a HG cleric -- it should be possible, especially if I plan to take CHA increases for the first few stat bumps.
My next fighter-type will likely be a duel-wielding, swashbuckling, brash sort of fellow who will be steered toward the duelist PrC.
-
Well, I've only played two characters for any length of time. A Ranger and a Wizard. I don't think I'd go back to Ranger, if I ever went that direction I'd go Druid (but not likely). I really enjoyed playing a Wizard and would like another go at playing one, so that's on my list. And chances are good that I'll go Cleric. I've been wanting to really RP a Class for a while.
-
She would be an elf.. ah rogue.. Shadowdancer? *nods slightly* Sounds about right.
In truth though, I've been spending days writing up Lal's ecdq submit. The thought of not having her to play, really scares me. So, I'm just happy that I've at least got another 8 months here :)
((before I need to worry about Lalaith haveing a daugher *snickers*))

speaking of offspring, that's been one of the debates in my mind. To carry on the Norseman legacy or let it die with Cole and start anew. Either way, it will definitely be a whole new character, as Cole's offspring will likely have his wanderlust, but not necessarily his affinity for swinging a sword.

I'm glad you asked :)
The one character that I will NOT play is a paladin. It was a fun experiance and while I still enjoy playing Michaelis - particularly with all the recent Toranish events going on - I feel I'm far better at playing more "nature" oriented characters. The race will most likely be elvin, the class either a ranger or cleric of Kithairein. He (it will be a he probably but who knows) will be chaotically aligned - perhaps CN aligned or CG aligned. I'm in debate in whether making a"dark ranger" in the sense of a drowranger specialized in underdarkfeats(i.e. favored enemy - underdark enemies, an animal companiontypical of underdark, etc...) or your typical nature surface elvin ranger. So there you have it- the basics. When submitting this - a long longways from now - you canexpect an extremely detailed bio :)

Also for myself - not to sound powergamey but I had no idea how to create a paladin and sadly Michaelis is extremely weakly built (i.e. he's got the prowess of someone 5 lvls below him). No more multiclassing for the character I wish to play, yet I will still tailor his feats, stats, etc... to his background, not to make him as tough as possible. This will require considerable planning before I even play him.

Coles offspring with Addison?
Oh. my. gourd.
*gags*
-
*winks at Shadowblade* The one character that I WILL play is a paladin. It's all I know. Maybe a descendant of Klaug (if that will be allowed by the Team).
-
You better hope it's with Addison. At least then it'd be human. *snickers*
-
Interesting answers, I am confused myself
I will most likely play a wizard, but I have certain ideas for a druid, ranger, rogue, monk......it's so ... hard to choose a class, especially after having played one character for over three years (by Jan 1)
-
It'll be fun - no matter which way the wind blows. :)
But nine months is A LONG way off so I'll just wait, reload gaming sites to see if more news on NWN2 and see.
-
The return of Mith! hey, he is an Elf. he could live that long!
-
I will definately play another dwarf again. I'd like to correct some mistakes i made with gotak along the feats I took, and a whole lot of other stuff. And I'd properly play a figther again, I like this role and I dont have to buff :D But Ray stole my idea about a brownie healer, I'd like to make a focus battlehealer with a brownie. I kinda have one already in this world, just dont have the time to play with him.
-
Cleric all the way... Made no mistakes on the dev but a few RPing things...
May just make a clone of celgar with a diffrent name or have Celgy as an old man slowly waiting till the sweet kiss of death :)
-
I'm not sure I'd play Yardislan again, even if elf characters were given the option. It just wouldn't be the same. Besides, I have so many other things I want to try anyway... the druid "ultimate predator"... maybe play Yard's missing brother finding his way back to Layonara after being plucked free from the Gray Waste (it'd explain his lack of class levels anyway, heheh..) give that monk character that I played for a day and a half another try... the possibilities are endless.
-
I've got two characters here at the moment, Arwinath who was my first ever layo character, who I deleted and brought back, and Kurgaz, who I'm sure a lot of you know.
I'm not sure I would play Arwinath or anyone like him again, because he is most fun to use with the friends he is established with (Geir, Skarp, and a few others) and doesn't mix well with other characters, issues of trust and the like.
I've grown rather attached to Kurgaz now too (it's taken almost a year, but I finally got to level 15) but as I said in the other thread I'm not sure if I would want to play another Dwarf, it wouldn't be the same as playing him. If I were to play another Dwarf it would have to be a direct descendant of Kurgaz, maybe his grandson, and would probably be a similar character, although maybe a paladin build so I can be all zealous and the like.
I did have an idea for a Drow druid which I was keeping back for when layo swaps over to NWN2 (I have the bio written and everything) but with all the special restrictions for Druids on layo to do with weaponry and the like it wouldn't really fit where I was hoping to take the character, but I may consider that at some point.
I read on the bioware site earlier today that there is a new base class in NWN2 which will be a Warlock, so I may test run that when the game comes out and maybe come back to layo with a Drow warlock, sounds like an interesting character to me, and I've never had a mage-like character before, so that would be a new experience for me too :)
Edit: yes, I like Drow ;)
-
I love monks, and paladins. Maybe a dwarven paladin? The other idea I like is the Sacred Fist, I'll examine that for the future. Really, with Honora being only 8 and all but guarenteed no epic levels at this point, I'm going to look to the changeover as my real chance to work a character.
-
I love playing Caldiir and being all sneaky like, so I may play something sort of like that only with slight changes. Instead of going Rogue I would go Ranger and I would try to do Shadowdancer. However, I recently started playing a Cleric and I am considering lpaying a Cleric of Baraeon Ca'duz because the RP would be really fun.
At this point I'm reall undecided on the class, but the race will for sure be Drow.
-
Wait... they're bringing in the Warlock? OH SWEET DAY!!! It better not suck. They're my favorite PnP caster class currently.

I tried that once, it's actually an incredibly difficult character to play with. You end up being turned away from groups a lot. It's fun to begin with but it turns into a drag because you are playing by yourself almost constantly. Or at least I was...
-
Might play a Rogue/Fighter/Assassin (if possible) or Weapon Master. I want to model him on my Fav char of all time Artemis Entreri. It's a powerbuild sure but he will be RP'ed, I think I can say that with confidence. As for his personality it will be uniqely different from the before mentioned cahr. Can't have plagarism or clones now can we? I think Maybe an Indian feller or Asian. True Nuetral to begin with, kills simply because that is his job not for any pleasure. and in nwn 2 I'm definately sticking to one char.
-
Well as for Perago and Ama, they have kids, so I will most likely play a half elf, maybe a monk even, not sure of it yet though.
-
Thinking of a time that Barion will be no longer there makes me sad...
No idears on what to play then , probably taking some time off to get un-addicted.
Thank the gods its still a long way away..
-
Probably play a ranger again, hopefully it will be much more likethe ranger class is suppose to be.
Perhaps a rogue or a cleric, but not 100% sure.
Jacchri and Dorena has twins, Lysira and Lythar. So I would probably play one of them ifJacchri is not around or a NPC :)
-
I have only been playing Layo for four months and really love it. Except for MUDs and MAREs in the early ninties it is my only online, community gaming experience. I really love one of the characters I have created but no more so then great PnP characters I have had over the years. Some of my PnP characters I played for many, many years in real time. But eventually, they had to be retired. I don't think I ever tried to recreate a favorite character down the road, I have always just tried new things. With that in mind I will begin considering new character idea's for Layo/nwn2. I haven't had a priest in a while so... maybe I'll start there. Fun thread to read. Thanks.
-
Yah I might play an Astrologer or an Artisan, maybe a Brigand, perhaps a Mystic, gee I dunno!
Hehe, just kidding, don't read anything into that :P
I think my choices will be designed around some of my friends' choices on their players...Had a nice idea about a halfling Paladin of Aeridin, or maybe just an Army General type fighter. I don't think I can give up somewhat of a leadership role. Can't seem to enjoy playing a follower. We'll see!

Story of my life with most of my characters. Noone wants to play with Cal right now anyhow...unless he pays them. That's why you have friends!
-
I'm probably gonna go with Athus-good-healer type, and even more so if there's the option to go distant healing :) Really got annoyed with getting killed by all the AoO's
Would be neat to play Athus's kid (if he ever gets married stuffed inside that healing house all day)
Spellcasting druids sounds good too.
-
I am gonna play a female half-elven monk, name is already posted.
-
Ael will be back. ;)
And a certain Quarvalsharessen Priestess will become known as well, though few will know whom she serves.
-
I'd play another monk I think, they're fun :) Or, if they do bring the warlock class, I'd get my fire-specialized, ubersized-ego one from PnP to NWN.
-
Ta'k grandson is about 9 now... by the time NWN2 is up and runing he'll be just about the right age...
-
Daren and Jil have thought about having another child, and due to the way things work (at least in my own little head) he'll share Daren's name, so a partial clone. And of course there's going to be Sharyn' still, and I've had thoughts of what to do with Jeran, and have come up with something maybe.
Barring that (or a miracle wish coming true), there's always the half giant rogue/shadowdancer :)
-
The way things are going for Lia right now she will never have a decendant, and though I wish her to eventaully gain eternal youth, I think when NWN 2 comes out I will want to hand her to the DM's. Under their control she can accomplish so much more then she can with me as a player, as long as they stick to her goals being what I would want them to be for her and how she goes at acheiving them.
For awhile I hope to help with the content team if accepted when they open more spaces for it, which means no character for awhile, but when I decide its time for me to play a character again, I have a pretty nice rogue idea that I've been wanting to try for awhile.
-
I'd build either a cleric or monk. Not exacaly sure, though.
-
If there's not going to be a character wipe, i'll play Syn, if there will be one... time will tell. :)

That's right Frilly! I think the children are looking forward to abusing Freldo v2.0.
And they'd be quarter elf.... I wonder what the racial advantages are. :P
-
Bjorn from being rich will sit on his butt for so long that he degenerates back to lvl one from luxury... hopefully will come back. I'd probably run Zigfried the Bardarian and Ogzughimmal the necromantic businessman
-
I hope for a character wipe, even though I will miss Glenn dearly. I would love to see the current story line come to a epic conclusion and then close the book. The new start would be many many years (have to make it in the hundreds of years) in the future. I would play a ranger again :)
-
I haven't played on here for too long, but either another monk, or a maybe a fighter/WM, and I'd have to have at least one character that was a slightly unstable dwarf (i tend to play slightly unstable dwarfs a lot, there's so much RP potential in it *dances around gleefully*)
-
Mmmm...
I'll carry on the Pendrot line and introduce a grandson...
Either sorc/fighter.. or.. pure Warlock
-
if this actually happens and we have to start again...i will make everyones worst nightmare....a xeenite cleric *grins*...but i much rather keep playing abi
-
I have only started playing for a few weeks now with my first character Elessar Sáralondië. I'm changing character now to an other fighter. When Layo/nwn2 goes online I might go with the Fighter weapon master idea I always liked to play with. Some other ideas are a monk focusing on unarmed combat. or a sorceres that has a love for undead kinda spels(or whatever it is called) but hates evil.
I've never done magic before so that will be a nice change i think.
I'll see what kind off character I'll create when the time comes.
I'll be sure to have plenty of ideas by then. Unless I used them all op trying to find the right one for layo/nwn1 ;)
-
Intresting thought, if I was to come back what would I be?
Two possiblities really,
Willow Cloverleaf, I might go full cleric then undead hunter with her. With the past and turnings she's had it should be an intresting development.
The other
Aurora Faythe, those who know of her might get a thrill to hear of her return. Those that don't... you might be on the wrong side of her bastard sword and fireball. ;)
All in theory and speculation, the world would be what it is with out and will always be what we make it for sure it will develop into a world filled with intresting players and intresting characters. I look forward to seeing what awaits Layonara. *
*Translation for those that don't speak Sakura "The world will be full of intresting characters, I look forward to seeing it"
-
I am able I will certinally stick with Key. If that is not allowed, perhaps Matilda will finally have a child? Something like a Satyr Aasimar Cleric of Lucinda or something funky.
Though Key by far will be my ultimate choice, and I may have to work out a way for her, in some way, to continue her development. The world wouldn't be the same without the Original Angry Tiefling™.
-
I'm going to make a wizard/sorcerer.....don't steal my idea!!!
-
A Dwarven Monk not related to Garnet. And yes he will go for the Brothers of Battle! Looking forward to getting NwN2 now that I know we will change-over.
-
Halfling for sure. Either a sorcerer or a ranger. Depends on the family I think... Definitely will have a pie fixation. Maybe that's what we need to work on. Pie magic. It would be something you can eat and throw at your enemy. What was this topic about again? Oh right... NWN2. Heh.. all I know is that I'll be DMing and making sure all the people above in this thread and in the world have more and more stories to tell.

...it!!! now I have to think ofanother useless class-combination....Hmm...how about a cleric/wizard/bard? Low level spells for everyone!!!
-
I haven't decided what to do yet... It all depends on Storold's development. If I end up not liking to play a mage I have several characters I would like to try out, but right now my main choice will be another human, male, abjurer
