I am pretty new to Baldur's Gate 2, and am currently in chapter 2.
There are many NPC's to choose from already, and I already wonder which ones I should keep in my party. I don't think I'll play the game more then once also, so I want the most interesting group. I myself play a fighter.
I am more interested in which NPC's are fun to have around, and have an detailled story-line, and side-quests, then which NPC's are the best.
For one thing, I really hate Jaheira. So much that I almost wanted to wave my private parts in her auntie's general direction! (couldn't resist saying this...watched to much of Monty Python lately).
In BG1 Jaheira had an little 'accident', when she accidently charged 150 skeletons and lost, but now the whining kanigget is back again...
To get to some point, is she very important for the story-line, and for side quests?
Please give your opinion about her, if you have travelled longer with her then I did.
I think that Imoen is also important for the story, so I'll have to keep her around.
Nalia is new to my party, and she is very useful in my party. Simply because she is the best mage (I don't like Edwin).
Aerie is also very interesting with her skills, and even though she acts like a little child I think it might be interesting to keep her around.
Minsc is well...Minsc. Even if I would consider ditching him, I wouldn't like to fight someone with demi-god powers at the end without the strategic insight of Boo.
Boo must stay, so Minsc as well...
Yoshimo...interesting, would like him to stay in my party as long as possible.
Anomen...he seems boring at this point, and is a fake paladin...but I could use him at this point to replace Jaheira depending on replies.
Korgan...seems interesting, but don't really need another fighter. Already got Minsc and Boo to deal out melee damage with me. If he is interesting for character interaction, I shall keep him around though, maybe even in Yoshimo's place.
Keldorn...haven't met him yet, but I think a real paladin is more interesting then some sissy fighter/cleric named Anomen.
Please give your comments about these NPC's and others I haven't named, especially based on story-line and character-interaction.
