Hi guys
All i can say is that i am sad that i havent been playing this game until now. What a great game.

Anyway i some questions:

1. Is there a bank where you can store certain less than useful items for later? I have been using the Arnise castle to store stuff like that... is there a better place?

2. Also i just started the 3rd chapter and i ended up siding with Bohdi. Which one is better- Bohdi or the Shoadow Theives? No spoilers please...just want to know which is better in the long run, or does it make much difference?

well the best item contains are usually in your stronghold(if you a fighter or fighter kit then the keep is the right place)

Neither is really better but one is generally considered evil and one good(well less evil at least). Bodhi is evil. If you are evil then i suggest you get the latest patch and the baldurdash fixpack or you can't get a very good mage. (actually if you haven't already do this no matter what)

1. Every chest, shelf, table, etc. in the game is good for storing your items - with one important exception:
Some areas change after reaching certain point in the game or after completing some quest. For example, de'Arnise Keep. In fact, there are two de'Arnise Keeps in the game. One is here until you finish Nalia's Quest, another is here after finishing the quest. You can store your items in the keep but only in its "new" version. If you store your items in the "old" keep, you lose them all in the moment when the "old" keep is replaced by the "new" keep. AFAIK, the following areas behave this way:
- de'Arnise Keep: until you finish the quest and after finishing the quest
- Bodhi's Lair: until you laeave for Asylum and after returning from Asylum
- Ranger's Cabin: until you finish the Ranger quest and after finishing the quest
Most probably other people will add other areas which I don't know about.
As far as I am concerned, I am always setting my base on the Waukeen's Promenade in the Old Cernd's House. There are 6 places for storing your items there. The house is a safe storage even if it has some role in the game. I've never seen any item loses.

2. Bodhi is considerably more difficult than Aran but also more rewarding. You get everything you can get with Aran but you also get several useful items which you cannot get with Aran. Working with Bodhi has no consequences in the game.

Don't use a container in Cromwell's house either.

You can't get Edwin if you fall out with Shadow Thieves. Unless you Baldurdashed your game.

Thanks for the replies guys. I reloaded my game to get more things done in the 2nd chapter, but I think that Bohdi sounds cooler when i get to it. She is a vampire right?

Hmmm... I'm quite sure that the Temple Ruins use two different area files.
You should know what i mean if you've ever completed the quest . ;)

I've also heard that about the Copper Coronet. Not so sure, though.
