My paladin just finished Act 2 tonight, 32 hours in so far. I went with this class since I played the original games with a paladin for the first play through with each, using the same name with BG3 for nostalgia purposes. But I also have a ton of alts, including a Dark Urge half-orc way of the fist/tavern brawler monk who wrecked havoc across Act 1's areas and killed/chased off 4 companions before making it to the Underdark.
The day the first game was released, only my local Best Buy had copies. I called, they set one aside for me, but there was one little problem: we'd had a LOT of snowfall the night before. Our house was new, we'd just moved in weeks prior, and the snow plows didn't yet realize that the 3 driveways hanging off that half-moon section of the street needed cleared too. So after shovelling our driveway, I was still looking at about 30 feet of snow too deep for my Honda Civic. Not to be deterred, I got the car turned around in the driveway so it was facing the street, reversed it back into the garage, reeved the engine and shot down the driveway, hoping to gain enough speed to make it through that half-moon to the cleared street. Didn't work out, but I got close. Shovelled to the rest of the way there, clearing around the tires, and made it to the store, got my copy, and then got stuck on the way home. Shovelled out again, made it home with that big box and its 6 CDs, and within hours was in love. But in my memory the real villain of the game was not Sarevok but that damn snow. 1st world nerd struggles, right?
