Which characters should I try this time...

[Luvian]

Ok, I decided to try the classes, aligments, and characters I never use, so right now, I'm playing Bg1 as an Evil bard.

For continuity's sake, I took Jaheira and Khalid in my team, as well as Imoen. I traveled with Viconia for a while, but then I went to Naskel, politely declined Misnc, and then booted Viconia for Edwin. We then killed Dynaeir (Just me and Edwin, we didn't tell those goody two shoes...)

In Baldur's Gate II, I plan to try Anomen and his romance, and turn him CN. I'll take Korgan and Edwin, too.

For the other characters, I'm Considering Jan, and maybe Haer'Dalis.

I know Viconia is usually a most have for an evil party, but I used her a lot already, and I'm trying to create a party with funny dialogs. From what I heard, Jan and Edwin have lots of funny dialogs, and I saw a few interesting quotes from Korgan, too.

How about Haer'Dalis? Is he interesting? Does he have lots of Banters with those characters, or should I wait until I can add him in a party including Aerie?

The only characters I have never really tried are Jan, Edwin, Haer'Dalis and Anomen. There is also Cernd, but I dislike him a lot.

So, any party suggestions?

IIRC Heardalis has an interesting banter. Yes Edwin and Jan really havefunny dialogs. Jan and Korgan too. I would take the Blade-Heardails becuase of good HLA`s.

Why do you dislike Cernd? Because of his personality? Ok, I'm with you there. But as a partymember? Let me tell you this: with the Ease-Of-Use Shapeshifter rebalancing component installed and Cernd getting level 13, he can transform, at will, even during a fight, into a greater werewolf. This is a powerhouse baby a long way through SoA. 21STR, 20DEX & 25CON, regenerate 3hp/SECOND, 40%MR, protection from the elements, protection from normal weapons and even more greater than great: he can continue to cast his druid spells !!! YEA FOR CERND !!

I don't like the Shapeshifter un-balancing component of the ease of use mod. If I wanted to cheat, I would simply use Shadowkeeper.

Yes. The Paw is mighty. Too mighty/overpowerd...i mean, you regenerate 3hp/second?. I once made a Shapesifter for fun. Used SK to give him XP and went to Mae`Var. Then aa Thief backstabbed me for around 70-80 dmg. I was good as new in no time.

Despite the fact that he altered Cernds spellbook, what cheating is there involved? Note that you encounter greater werewolves in the game. They are the same as Cernds greater werewolve-form. He fixed some bugs Bioware didn't and made Cernd a great early NPC. He's a better tank than most of your NPC's early on.

And the staff of the Magi & Flail of Ages +5 & CFury are also legitemate weapons. You mean overpowered instead of cheating maybe?

So you just gotta hit him hard and fast. Personally, I have more trouble with Improved Torgal's Regen than I ever had with a Greater Werewolf.

Yes I agree here.

I think they are legitemate weapons becuase they are very hard to come by(assuming Tactics Mod is installed). Except maybe SotM.

There is a HUGE difference between a Wherewolf (Human shapechanging into a wolf, that is what Cernd should be able to do, and what he do in the real game)

Ans a Wolfwhere (A wolf that can shapechange into a Human, that is what the Shapechanger un-balancing mod did).

There is a reason why the class was made as it was. Druids should NOT be better tank and fighters than real fighters. That is totally unbalancing, and totally cheating. He might as well have said: "Wherewolf are too weak, so instead Shapechangers will be able to shapechange into a Red Dragon."
