i was planning on starting a new game and i made a half elf fighter with katana, too bad he didnt look so good with shield and a winged red helm. i was wondering, whats the best looking setup and race? i wanted to make a blade with 2 daggers but too bad he holds em upright unlike the shadow thieves which is really cool. A human with shield and full plate look nice but amonen already got that look down so i wanted to change, any suggestions?

There is a mod which introduces new and cool avatars for the game, you may use them. I don't rememebr the link though. :doh: You can change your avatar via SK if you do not like it. You can even make yourself appear like a shadow thief, or any other monster, but this can cause bugs, try it out!

The monk avatars look really cool but I don't like the way the monk paperdoll looks. If you have the One Pixel Productions mod, the monk paperdoll looks like a guy with a big long robe and hood, which looks better but not ideal.

I had that One Pixel mod but when I tried to install it it said that files were corrupt so it didn't install. Why? Or should I open a new topic for it? And is OnePixel mod really useful and/or cool?

Yes. It is one of the best things to ever happen to BG2. Make sure you have the most recent build of 1pp. The main site for it is here. (http://www.spellholdstudios.net/downloads) Install this puppy and all the avatars will look good.
