Back on the series after a long time

Hello people! Its been ages since I posted here and ages since I played any of the Eschalon games.
Just finished book 1 & 2 with some mods as I've played through both several times. I've only started book 3 once and never got to finish it, now I think its finally time for that, I think I'll load all the mods which were compatible with each other, I've read the topics here and it seems there's some very good mods made for it.
I've been totally hooked since I played the book 1 for the first time, although I had several years off gaming in general, I never forgot the pure awesomeness these games are. And they didn't disappoint on the second time around either. My problem is that when I play, I get so immersed to it, I tend to forget that there's a actual life to live and then I play like crazy. But I guess its nice change of pace as the winter has been so darn cold and I recently lost my job so I have plenty of time on my hands. And I'm loving it.
I'm trying to not spoil anything as I have only played a bit of the book three so far. Wondering on what kind of build I should try this time around. Book one I played as a ranger with rogue like traits and bit of elemental magic to assist, book two I played as a rogue with ranger like traits and also bit of elemental and I made him a master alchemist as well as I really like that. I was wondering if I should try book three with a rogue who would use stealth and bludgeoning weapons as his mainstay along with a bow. That's something I've never tried before and the bludgeoning weapons feat seems so darn awesome.
Its nice to see that the forums aren't completely dead even after years without a new release from BW. The coming sci-fi RPG sure looks interesting, I hope that project is doing well.
Anyway, cool to be around here again! It seems Eschalon isn't ageing at all, the fun factor is still at 110%.
