Nalia

[hailitho]

I just got her. She said she was going to add a new place to my map. I dont see it. Anyone tell me where I am to go? She told me that WE MUST DO IT NOW she really emphasized the NOW! hehe...

The D'Arnise (whatever the spelling is.....????) Hold should be to the east of town in the world map, it's automatically added to your world map when Nalia joins you. Go to the City Gate District and exit via the city gate at the east end of the City Gate map, it should be accessible.

Hey Hailitho, I'll let you in on a little secret;

spoilerish


She is a little overly dramtic. The quest will be there when you are ready. The only problem is she whines excessively if you don't go do it quickly . . .

She is one of the best mage for a good party (especially if you still have the exp cap), and she can use a short bow.

Although her dialogue is HUGELY annoying, Nalia is not as bad as everyone makes her out to be. She's basically a poor man's (woman's?) Imoen. Not as good as Imoen for either thieving or maging, but she can be a pretty good mage if you need one.

Jan is the best mage for a good party,,even though he him self is not good.He will stay

and you said it yourself, Imoens better,,shes good,so how can Nalia be the best mage for a good party if Imoens good and better

I said she is "one of the best" mage in the game, not "THE BEST". And you DO NOT get Imoen until later in the game (which for many of us, Imoen is a bit behind on experience since many of us do the side quests before doing the main plot ones), so Nalia is a good substitute and I usually ended up keeping her. Although true I would agree Imoen is better, HOWEVER, I do not recall I've said that anywhere on this thread until now.
As for Jan, if the exp cap is still in place, he WILL NOT reach as high level as Nalia, and he levels up slower. Stats wise, Jan only has INT of 16 while Nalia has 17. Overall Nalia has attribution points of 87, and with STR of 14 she can carry a few items before using any STR enhancing items...also her DEX is 18. As for Jan, he only has total attribution points of 81. And the only attribute point Jan has more than Nalia is WIS....(14 v.s. 9). Since Jan is a specialist mage, TRUE he does get the bonus of being a specialist, that means the opposite school is Necromancy, now I know that Illusionist has about 14 spells...while Necromancy has about 15....but Jan is missing out on some of the spells like Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting and Finger of Death, which I consider pretty powerful/useful magic in the course of the game.
For those who likes to talk about how much better Jan is as a thief as Nalia, we are talking about mages here. But Nalia is still able to detect/disarm traps from my own experience, which is what I use a thief for in my games.
Also Nalia will stay, you just have to do that pesty NPC quest.
Don't get me wrong, I do like Jan, hell of a funny fella. But he tends to be filling up the empty spots for my evil parties.
