I am at the temple ruins and will be meeting Mazzy soon. I would like to add her to my party as I didn't have her in my party when I first played. I am not sure who I should drop. I have Minsc, Jaheira, Yoshimo, Jan and Valygar right now. I am trying to do some quests that I missed the first time through.

Either drop Yoshimo or Valygar, although Mazzy and Valygar does have NPC interactions.

Time is only relevant if you have none !

I was thinking of dropping Yoshimo also. Thanks. I am playing as a Mage.

I would agree if you are a mage. Drop Yoshi.

Yoshi's a punk that turns on you anyway. Even though you get good experience when he picks a lock or something its the fact that he turns triator on you that ticks me off. I always dump him when Keldorn has a chance to jion in the sewers.

I agree, drop Yoshimo. Better to have experience going to someone who'll stay around. Jan will fill all your theivery needs.

Just when you thought it was safe to visit this board.

Jan? whos Jan, where can I find him/her? I wanted to drop Yoshi also but did'nt have anyone to do all me lock picking!

About that xp thing. I find that ANY thief character gains more and more xp the more locks/traps they disarm. It doesn't appear to be xp fixed to any type of lock or trap, just the quantity you successfully do

Jan is a male gnome illusionist thief found in the center of
the goverment district. You have to get him, he is definately
the funniest npc in the game and hes pretty good too.

Yoshimo just turned on me and I thought the way it was done was excellent. I personally liked the Yoshimo character and at the time he was a 17th Thief. But now I guess I'll have to make due with Imoen until I am able to get Jan Jansen (who is awesome too by the way).

Yes! Kick Yoshimo, get Mazzy and then GO KILL NALIA!!! Wouldn´t that be a nice side quest for ToB, anyway?

Easy, there Earthdog. I know that people who haven't finished are reading at their own risk, but this is a pretty big spoiler you just dropped. I remember getting spoiled on it originally and being pretty mad about it ... Just drop the spoiler thing down first before posting something that, it takes a few seconds, and it keeps you from getting emails from moderators. Just a tip for ya.

Welcome to the board, BTW! Enjoy it, use it, try the different games. All are very good, and there are a ton of people to help answer all your questions.

Later

BK

Thats cool but to be honest the first time i completed the game Id kept Nalia in my party and used her at every available opportunity and never saw the xp value increase when she picked a lock. That could be due to the fact that her Skill as a theif never went up.... only her mage XP. Think that could be right?
i havent the foggiest but it seems logical to me



------------------
IS THE PIZZA HERE YET????
WANNA PASS ME A BEER??? THANKS!!!!!!

nalia is a pathetic excuse for a thief... anyway, shed be better of dead. imoen is much better than her, the almost have the same stats, so why pick up nalia when you even have jan???
