Is new NPC worth dropping one of my old tried and true NPCs

Ronn_Bman · 08-11-2001, 02:25 PM

The idea of adding Sarevok is almost overpowering (maybe he's trying to influence me...lol), but I hate the idea of dropping Minsc for him. Is it worth it? I don't want any spoilers, but just wondering what others think.

Also, are there any NPC specific missions in ToB? In SoA, I added almost every NPC to my party long enough to finish their specific mission, but always reverted back to my "chosen" party, which is my main character, a monk, Minsc, Jaheira, Imoen, and my own cleric and mage (adding playing multi-player mode).

The only character I wouldn't mind losing is Jaheira, but I want to finish the romance with her first. I activated it late in SoA using CLUACONSOLE, and have heard romances pick up where they left off.

Well, diss Imoen.
He is the best NPC ever, but Minsc is not far behind.

My only problem with lossing Imoen is she's my only thief

My monk can detect traps with the best of them, but can't disarm them or pick locks.

Sarevok is definitely worth it. He's the best fighter in the game and he has some very cool dialogue. Drop Minsc and pick him up.

I'd get rid of the cleric and grab Sarevok, but than again I'm just one of those people who don't find clerics very useful. Jaheira's got better summoning spells anyway and can handle any healing and raising (of the dead).

i found Jahera useful only in 3 things

1) lvl 10 spell in summoning
2) ressurection
3) distractor

and thats it... once she cast that lvl 10 spell of summoning then i just let her go to the back and just heal those people who need it, ressurect people who died.. and be a great distractor in case i have to reform my group. she is only a supporter for me

Get Jan as a thief instead of Imoen, and drop the homemade Cleric or Jaheira, Jaheira is good for combat since she can wield scimitars and spears, of which there a many which are enchanted, and has a large number of summoning spells, especially the elemental summoning Quest Spells, they are powerful.
No NPC specific missions in ToB, none that I have found anyway, also, what is the command for activating a romance with the CLUAConsole?

I dropped Minsc for sarevok and I think it was worth it

I suggest having them both, because Sarevok is THE best NPC tank and Minsc is the second best, also, Minsc has LOTS of entertaining dialogue, Sarevok also has a few good ones, and you need more than one tank, and even if you don't actually NEED more than one, it's damn useful.

i dropped viconia for him. after that my party was:

1.Me(bard)
2.sarevok
3.minsc
4.jaheira
5.imoen
6.edwin

it rocked!
