Questions regarding Baldur's Gate

[Pearwood]

Another thing Baldur's Gate does that's, to put it mildly, not exactly intuitive is have a very old armour class system. The lower it is the better. I know it's obvious when you're playing the game but every so often I look at my tank and think "Why the hell is your AC -3 when I've been getting you the best stuff I can find?".

Yup, Baldur's Gate is seriously hard if you're not careful. And if you like NPCs like Viconia or Xan in your party (CON under 10, semi-melee; why do I always do this to myself?). The amount of quicksaving I have done...
Anyway if your party is dieing way too much, you can always try lowering the difficulty a bit. It's nothing to be ashamed of

They just don't make PC top-down games like this anymore...engaging story, great NPCs, and actual difficulty that's satisfying to overcome. Marvelous stuff.
