Just a question: even if Edwin is evil, can you still take him in a good/neutral party? Will he join? I've heard he's great as a mage.
My current "main character" is a berserk dualled to a mage (fantastic mix) so I probably don't need additional firepower, especially since I have Nalia and Jan tagging along and I'll be picking up Imoen later, but I would like to know if one could pick up Edwin and/or Viconia even if you're playing good? Also, if you're playing evil, can you pick up good NPC's as well?
Alignment is such a pain; one of the few things I disliked about AD&D...other than that, it's a pretty cool system.
