Proof needed claimers should battle it out in
gamespy multiplayer

How can someone be "best" at a ROLEplaying game?!

Nevermind.

Yes, great idea alien boy.

The best here is definetly Ragusa.
He is best enough that doesn't have to give any more proofs - you just try a "search" command in this forum sometimes.

Gamespy? What kind of stupid name is that?
Whatever, Ragusa hosts the game by himself.

Are you challenging me?

Reading some of the posts on the forum, I can tell that I won't be 'the Best'. Some of the people here just seem to know everything about whatever I'd like to know. IMO the wisest poster could be said to be 'the best'.

I think one of these wise posts is made by Lord_Sarevok: Some posts above here about roleplaying. But there are many others...
This is infalliable: I AM THE BEST IN MY ROLE! :D

Lord Sarevok if i picked the wrong term to use and i agree with Lord Savrevok that we should be the best in our role. It's nice to try and inspire people's good moods though:).

er...Thank you Alienboy, but the Idea of being good in a role was actually Lord_Sarevok's...;)

Are you a Diablo player, alienboy? I have played both D and D2 and know there are lots of player killers there, but though both the Diablo- and the BG-series are labelled as crpg's they are very different. Diablo is IMHO not an rpg while BG2 is at the very least a good effort to be an rpg.

So if you are looking for someone to fight with your character one-on-one, it's highly unlikely that any of the best informed ("best") players will accomodate you.

IMO the proof of a great BG2-player, at least on the forums, is in what he does to forward the knowledge we have of the game and how good his answers to questions are. :)

Yes i play Diablo. I wasn't trying to play anyone just humour some people. Thanks for the definitions.

One of the main problems with playing BG2 online are game hackers. You can't tell whether someone is cheating or not. And baldur's gate isn't really a roleplaying game. The only part you control is the quest you decide to take. It always begin the same way and ends the same way.

Absolutely true; I don't think there's the AI out there to mimic what a PnP DM can do to make a roleplay game. It'll be interesting to see how NWN brings in the human element to shape a game. Still the BG series is much more closely aligned to the roleplaying, rather than the powergaming, aspect of things, given the many different paths to your goal you can take.

I think it would be pretty difficult to have a game made with a good plot and not having the same ending every time...

[Childish voice] My mom is the best D&D-player in the world[/qchildish voice]

A bit a strange question. Everybody has it's own specialities and on this boards we try to learn from each others skills, discoveries and adventures.

Ragusa is best at BG2
Marnix/Headbanger is best at BG

:)

What's the best? A hammer or a screwdriver?

Depends ...

I'm not really into which person or character is the best in a powergaming sense; I like to play the RPG aspect. So my chars are not the strongest, or meanest, etc. In fact, a weak char makes for a fun game!

I like hammers better, but thats just my just my side of the story. Anyone got really high unhacked character?(exp cap removal allowed.)

I Concur, A Weak PC Makes For A More Enjoying Game

LiquidSnake I disagree. I always get annoyed when my comp crashes, j/k.

I'd have to go for the screw driver. The only practical thing I do it build comps with my magnetic screwdriver. I don't wanna try that with a hammer :(

As for the best player. There is no way to test it. Say for instance the best player is a thief ingame. Then he should be able to backstab....
Maybe he is a mage, but if he then faces a wizard slayer he is Toast. Some classes are more powerfull vs certain enemies, than others

Thank you Wildfire.. You are the best chatter here :)

I thought we all were equals.... ?

Lukki: Yes, we are all equal, but some are more equal than others.


:D

Sounds like America! Oh well, we're a lot better off than some countries in that department so I shouldn't be complaining...
