There is never a good reason to travel along the Sword Coast alone. The Baldur's Gate online community is always there to lend a hand and speak a few wise words.
You've got something to say, so say it! And while you're at it, this is a great place to go to find hints, help, and opinions about all aspects of the Baldur's Gate games, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment.
