Ok guys, this place seems to have a bunch of BG2 gurus, and i need a bunch of help, so heres a bunch of questions

1. Is Cernd any good? The diea of a shapeshifter seems kinda cool. But are the werewolf and great werewolf forms good at all? Can he cast spells while in werewolf form? Are his spells any good?

2. In the damned Jahiera romance, it seems like theres always SOMETHING that wont work. For example, the first time i tried i got the locket, did curse quest, then did the Xzar/montaron quest, then did the first harper call quest, then it died. absolutely died. then my second time around i thought maybe i jsut wasnt giving enough time, so i did all of the above mention jahiera romance things first thing out of irenicuses dungeoun, but the first call to mee thte six harpers hasnt come, and i have alrady done like 4 in town quest, done trademeet, umar hills, darnise keep. And if somehow i DO get that first harper call, if i go to the insane asylum iseland before i get the next call, will my romance be screwedc cause we cant return? Im getting so tired of this im considering just screwing over all my effort and redoing everythin for my 5th or 6th time, and jsut romance aerie instead. Oh also i have Tob installed, so all the old bugs with the romance are fixed.

3. Are monks any good? what about wild mages? bards? I want my main guy to be a interesting class.

4. I was considering romancing Viconia in another game, but someone told me its inevitable that if you do she will dump you, but stay in party later on. Is this preventable? If it is, which romance is more fun, the Aerie or Viconia romance?

5. Im the kinda guy that likes to run into battle blazing and screaming like a crazed wombat. So i want to make a party thats almost completely warriors, cause i ahte having to keep a bunch of people in back, then make them run like pansies if a monster gets near them. So i want to know what chracters are best to cram in all those utility neds like cleric/mage/theif.

6. You know how each class has a stronghold? Can you ahve jsut one stronghold per party? Like, if I have a warrior, a druid, and a cleric, can i own darnise keep, the druid grove, and a temple at the same time? Or once i take one do those others become unavailiable?

7. Who are the best fighters? i know korgan rocks, but for 2handed sword whos better, keldorn or minsc? Is Haerdalis worth anything? I tried him but between his horrible HP and bad thaco he seems really bad. Am I just using him wrong?

8. If i have a theif in my group, or a theif mage, whatever, should i equip them with a sling or bow and put them on ranged AI, or should i put them on the theif AI that hides them and tells them to go backstab?

9. Traps seem worthless. Are they actually good if you use them right?

10.When should a bard play his song in battle?

Ok guys thanks SO much for actually reading that, id REALLY appreciate it if you answered some of the questions, if not all.
