1)No you don't need to - Keldorn will 'wait' for you

2)a) Korgan - he's evil - the rest of the party are neutral or good (high rep)
b)No

3) Sorry - don't know - I don't have it.

Cool,well i tried the book quest but got ma ass kicked so i decided to go to the shadow thieves(i 4got Aerie has turn undead) so ill go there.is it a must to get Keldorn, like is he loads better than that Korgan dude(<font color=000000>boo hoo hes the only one who agrees with my policy of mindless violence-i shouldnt be a ranger should i?</font color=000000>)

Korgan and Keldorn are both good warriors, though Korgan makes for a slightly better Tank: He has more HP, a slightly better AC, he can use his Berserk ability, and he's specialized in 1-handed weapons that can be used both ranged and melee, meaning he can wear a shield all the time without sacrificing weapon skill. Keldorn is also quite good, but he probably won't be your party's main Tank. His Dispel Magic and True Sight can also be priceless, at times.

Keldorn, IMO, is invaluable if your main character isn't a paladin. Get him the Gauntlets of Dexterity (which you'll find along the Unseeing Eye quest) and his AC drops incredibly. His innate "True Sight" ability is incredible, as is his "Dispel Magic"...coupled with that he is the only NPC that can legitimately wield Carsormyr (+5 Holy Avenger sword). Forget Korgan unless you're playing Neutral or Evil...also, Aerie splits after a bit if Korgan's in the group too long.

Keldorn IS invaluable especially later in the game when you come up with high level magic users. As has been said, his dispel magic & true sight are priceless. Plus iirc the Holy Avenger affects the target with a dispel magic if it hits.

Thats cool, Keldorn it is,well as you say ill be losing a tank it wont be too bad as i have my flail of ages wielding nut ranger who is a good skull smasher and minsc who wields the sword of sarevok oh and boo who wields very very sharp teeth.what does <font color=00ff00>iirc</font color=00ff00> and <font color=00ff00>imo</font color=00ff00> stand for?

wasn't that dwarf in beregost in BG1 named Korgan too??

(you know, the one in the shop)

I don't know if the Darkest Day is good since I haven't played it, and I don't know how long it takes to download.
However, if you use a program like Download Accelerator it's possibly to pick up where you left after you got cut off.
You can find Download Accelerator here

No. That's Kagain [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yah, Old Keldorn saved my party's butts once when we were cornered in a narrow dungeon by a pretty nasty gang - I couldn't Fireball in the small space, so Nalia and Aerie cast Web, which got ALL 12 of us stuck - except Keldorn, because his Firecam Armor gives him permanent Free Action - he proceeded to cut up the trapped enemies by himself one by one. And yeah, his DispelMagic I used constantly... He's interesting indeed

Must admit I never really liked Keldorn, never really missed him in my party as well. A matter of preference, of course. And *no* npc in the game is invaluable, every single character has his/her good/weak points, and every character will have qualities of their own to beat certain enemies with. Just experiment along a bit, and you will find out that beating the game doesn't depend on sticking to the same npc's all over again...
