Who do people feel are the best NPCs to take through BG2? I know that it is good to spend some time with each so as to open up extra quests, but who are the best ones to progress the story.

Obviously Minsc, Jaheira and Imoen are integral to the story. Who else? Aerie? Nalia?

Tough one, but I'd have to go with...
1)Main character (obviously!)
2)Jaheira
3)Minsc
4)Imoen
5)Valygar (in ToB he has a funny dialoge with Imoen)
6)Viconia (best cleric in the game, as well as making a hilarious stab at Minsc)

The story eh? Hmmm... well TO THE STORY is different... Imoen, Jaheria is good, IMHO Minsc is aways requiered, and thats it!

Thats all that is needed for integrial storyline.

Now the BEST party depends on your own charater.

1)Cavalier--Anomen(yes i kno someone will contest this) Nalia, Jan, Minsc, and I ussualy go with Jahera*.

2)Mage (any kind)--Anomen, Jan, Keldorn, Minsc, Jaheria*.

3)Archer--Anomen, Jan, Keldorn or Jaheria*, Minsc, Nalia.

4)These are the only classes I have really played! [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]

*Jahiera can be replaced with anyone you want to romance with... IMHO anyway.

But Viconia is evil. Doesn't that have a bad effect on the party?

Vicky lowers thine rep by 2 pts. but will stay in your party if the party's rep stay's below 18 (i think thats it.) Anyway some other NPCs may not like it but they most likely won't care. So have her if you want her!

It is always good to find likeminded people. It seems that people who like Black Isle games will more often than not, like Robert Jordan books.

All my characters are always named after characters from the books.

you get this ultimate weapon after you kill firkragg the dragon... it can only be used by paladins and is more commonly known as Carsomyr. (but spelled correctly. ) It is a +5 and is the most powerful weapon in the game.... IMHO anyway.
