I need some opinions

I think my problem with metagaming is that it just sort of takes the fun out of playing games. It almost makes it into a chore.

KvP:
It's hard not to metagame, though, particularly in games like BG2 that have all sorts of replay value. After that first time you know what's coming and plan accordingly. Most people, if faced by an opponent that hands them their ass more than once, aren't going to keep going back at it the same way, they're going to load the game a bit earlier and come into the fight better prepared. BG2 could be considered difficult early on, but the fact of the matter is that epic level D&D is a bitch to balance, and BG2 and its expansion did a bang-up job of it. Hell, in Throne of Bhaal you're practically unstoppable (although the aforementioned Ascension mod will give you a run for your money). And most of the buffs that can give you a real edge, like haste, are things you're going to want on your party 24/7 anyway. But I could see how trying to go the "Iron Man" route could be difficult.

But man, if you think BG2 is hard, you really ought to play Icewind Dale 2. That game is impossible to beat without metagaming, especially in regards to your party makeup. You will not beat the game if you play with characters you just think are fun. I think it also has a hardcore mode built into it (or maybe that's IWD 1?) so it'd be right up your alley.

bryanthelion:
Actually, I wouldnt go with video game references at all.

I would make up my own cartoon characters . Like "Wally the Wabbit" for number one, then have some semi-retarded bunny-wunny gracing the scale. Humping the 1.

I would keep Cthulu though..

I agree.  ThunderClaw, the guy who did the Fallout 2 and I think most of the BG2 guide, never actually played through IWD2 yet, though, and as my page notes, I just don't have the patience to play long RPGs hardcore-like.  I'll talk to him about it, though.  I was trying to convince him to go through the game with me 2-player (and it'd just be us two characters, how awesomely fun would that be?) but it fell to the wayside because poor guy is busy 99% of the time.

I'm going to make a Final Fantasy Tactics walkthough, though.  I forgot if I mentioned that already and I'm too lazy to look.  The PSP version comes out tomorrow.  I bought a PSP in anticipation.

@ thatwittygeek: We'd have to do that if we ever planned on making money off the site, I suppose.  I don't have the artistic talent to create characters like that, however.

You bought a PSP to play a remake, really?
