Then dish out a few more bucks and buy her an ultrabook, about the same size screen 

I have a clean house, and the kid is with her father, BG here I come! It was my very first computer RPG and I love it.

You can put it on as many computers as you want, you just have to download it from their site, and it runs with no client. That's DRM I can deal with lol. Everyone in my house is getting this game.

A couple of friends and I are going to play a multiplayer campaign every Monday (or Tuesday - undecided yet) night, then import our characters into BGII:EE when it's released and do the same.
I'm not sure if we'll have any party slots available (three filled with possible interest from four more), but if anyone is interested in joining let me know.

I might be interested if there is an available spot.

so this game uses AD&D 2E rule set?

how different would that be from DDO besides there being no monks?

There are monks in 2nd Edition they were just in a supplemental and not in the core book.(Same with Sorc's)

Yes, this is the SOLE reason I bought this. I'm really looking forward to playing one in BG on Christmas Day!

i think each player just gets their turn as based on their initiative score +d20 roll same as enemies.\

I don´t know if it was in Icewind Dale, in Baldurs Gate or NWN, but you could choose in settings what D&D rules. Choosing "easy" would mean that you cannot have friendly fire.

OMG, you just reminded me of my first discovery of friendly fire in BG2 where Blade Barrier was concerned!  I had forgotten all about it.

Anomen had levelled to the point of getting Blade Barrier, and I had gathered everyone for buffs before walking down to a red drgaon to talk smack.

I got everyone buffed up, Anomen was in the middle of everyone else, I had him cast blade barrier - boom!  Everyone ripped to shreds.

For the uninitiated - Blade Barrier surrounds the cleric and moves with him/her.  More like a force field type effect.

Once I learned that, though, he became my undead Cuisinart.

And I lost the party to friendly cloudkills probably half a dozen times before I figured out what was killing them.  Cloudkills in DDO are extremely weak in comparison.

Lightning Bolt - not for the faint of heart
