Baldur's Gate TuTu

I was bored today, with nothing to do, so I decided to fire up TuTu (it's basically Baldur's Gate 1 inside the Baldur's Gate 2 engine, which is funny because I have a mod that returns a lot of the BG1 functionality to it), and start a new game.

I read through some of the class descriptions, and almost considered playing a Lathander Cleric, but instead read up on a few more classes. This was a great choice in the end, because I found out about the fucking amazing Monk class. They're pretty shit early-game, but my god are their bonuses amazing when they get to level 10+.

Anyway, I rolled some badass stats, made my character, and started playing. Monks move much faster than any other class, so I breezed through Candlekeep with ease. I met up with Imoen to start kicking some ass, but on the very first group of monsters, I got two-shotted. Four times. I figured something must be wrong, so I checked my settings, and sure enough, the difficulty was set to "Insane". I moved the slider down to "Normal", and tried again. This time, I died in only one hit, so I just closed the game and read some forums.

I've since read a tiny bit more about monks and how their full potential as badasses can be achieved, so I'll try again later. Monks are awesome, though I still think spellcasters trump them.
