Which NPC do you pick every time? Keldorn, Minsc, Nalia(Waa-Haa!)? I always end up with Aerie in my party. As I mostly play a good aligned party, I never seem to get past her. She really twisted me heads. The one whoŽll never get a chance with me is Cernd. I donŽt like an NPC who can only reach level 14 that much.

Most (but not every time) till game ends:
1) Imoen
2) Jaheria
3) Minsc/Korgan (alignment of party dependent)

Hmmm...both times that I went all the way to the end I had pretty different parties. The only one who made it in both games was Valygar. I'm not even sure why I keep picking him...I don't really like him too much. For some reason I just do, then by the time I realize he sucks it's too late so I just keep 'em.

Good alinged patys virtually always have either minsc or Jaheria

Evil partys nearly always have Edwin


Or so I found http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

I always have Jaheira, even in my evil parties. Although my last time through she pissed me off and become a permanent statue in the Copper Coronet. I usually have Edwin, as he is the best spell chucker.

Keldorn I have in my good parties, but he is an equipment hog. He needs the best armor and equipment to be worthwhile, IMHO.

debiler 05-31-2001 12:06 PM

Has anyone ever picked HaerŽDalis or Cernd?

I like Cernd, but I only sometimes have him.
The Tiefling is worthwile, but is not actually very good for a bard. (He is great, but could be better.)

I would use him more, but I consider him unlucky. He always seems to get hit, whatever he is wearing, more than others!

DonkeyWan 05-31-2001 12:27 PM

I have hear Dallas, I have to say so far he sucks a bit. He has some nice offensive and defensive spins and mind shield, but in all honesty, a constitution of 9 really blows. Currently level 10 or so and has only 40 hps....

dafan 05-31-2001 12:33 PM

that would be Minsc... I always play goodaligned... I think I should try evil next time through

Edwin! The comments he makes and the party makes to him are hilarious, and he's an incredibly powerful spellcaster. Fastest fireball in Amn...

Aerie and Mazzy...

Aerie as a halfway decent cleric...

Jak_TCM 06-09-2001 11:22 AM

Minsc. Always. And Imoen, who always replaces Nalia.

------------------
Why?

Volourn 06-09-2001 11:44 AM

1)Jaheira - good/neutral
2)Korgan - evil
3)Nalia - good/fighters

Runer-Ups: Minsc, Keldorn, and Imoen.

demus 06-09-2001 11:49 AM

Well, my party seems to always end up as follows http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif :
Me (Paladin, Undead Hunter kit)
Minsc
Airee
Nalia
Jaheira/Yoshimo/Haer'dalas/Imoen (All at different times, and some together)

First time through my Ending NPC's were: Minsc, Jaheira, Imoen, Nalia and Airee.
Second time through my Ending NPC's will be: Minsc, Yoshimo, Nalia, Airee, Imoen (although I had Jaheira at the start, Haer'dalas at some point and Cernd for the Druids Grove duel only http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif ).

uh...I usually always have a few good guys and a few evil guys. Korgan all the time though...I love listening to him pick on Aerie and Anomen

ShadowUK 06-09-2001 01:46 PM

I personally like Har'dalis.........

Gustave 06-09-2001 02:03 PM

Minsc and Boo! then Keldorn, Korgan and Jaheira

Ratweed 06-09-2001 02:20 PM

allways aerie i just cant drop her

Erikje 06-09-2001 03:08 PM

I always end up with Imoen and Jaheira also with aerie sometimes, but that depends on the character I am.

------------------
Where they lead, you will follow. Well I guess that's just the way it goes. And if you look away you'll be doing what they say. And if you look alive, you'll be singled out and tried. If you take home anything, let it be your will to think. The more cynical you become, the better of you'll be.

Dreamer128 06-09-2001 03:18 PM

Imoen, Jaheira and Aerie

Jaheira and Yoshimo. Yoshimo still is the best thief of the bunch...

Floraowe 06-09-2001 05:36 PM

Both times I played a good party I've ended up with Minsc, Valygar, Jaheira, Imoen and Aerie. After I finish my evil party I'm playing good for pantaloons, and I'll probably end up with them all again.

Melusine 06-09-2001 05:45 PM

I could never do without Jaheira, she's my alltime favorite NPC.

simonbarsinistar 06-09-2001 06:39 PM

My favorite NPC (next to Minsc) is Yoshimo. I currently have Jaheria, Minsc, Yoshimo, Aierie, Nalia. I'm keeping bothe Aierie and Nalia because this game is so magic intensive.

Spoiler
I read somewhere that you lose Yoshimo in Asylum. If so I hope when I pick up Imoen that she's a very good thief because Nalia is next to useless as a thief.
If Imoen is not a progressable thief. Then I will have to trade Aierie for Jan.

I seem to end up with Edwin a lot these days as well.

Viconia always seem to follow me, even if i am doing the good deeds still nothing beats Boo and his protector

Tananda 06-09-2001 08:24 PM

There is always Valigar in my party. And Anomen, and Viconia, and Imoen (I do not like her too much, but... I think, I should have her http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif ).
And I'm sorry to say this (since so many players definately like Jaheira), but I just hate her and never, never let her in my party. Actually she was killed in BG1 (you know how it happens with unpleasant NPC's.... http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif ).

Sincerely Yours,

SSJ4Sephiroth 06-10-2001 12:07 AM

always Aerie. every time i play through using NPCs, i choose her. her Mage abilities are rivaled only by Edwin, but i play good. and her cleric abilities are rivaled by none, meaning that she kicks ass plain and simple!

o, and welcome to the boards londo!

Aerie!!!!

She's so sweet. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Keldorn

If I'm a Sorcerer, I need a Paladin to wield the 'Holy Avenger' http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/noncgi/smiles/eek.gif

Jaheira

For her Mountain Bears and Fire Elementals. Insect Plague too. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

If not a Sorcerer, than a Paladin.
