Hehe I understand what you are saying about Jan being anoying...but is Nalia any better? "I just wanted to help", "Do you help people all the time", etc. [img]smile.gif[/img] My advice if you take Nalia is kick her out for Imoen later, which you probably would have done with Jan anyways.

I don't find Imoen any less annoying than Nalia. At least Nalia can speak a complete sentence without stuttering her way through it. They both have high dex so they can contribute with a bow especially Tuigan's. They both have a hefty amount of HP for a mage. Imoen has better picklocking skill but they both can find and disarm traps equally well. What can't be picked/disarmed can be overcome with knock/potions.

From an evil point of view Edwin is a no brainer. Simply the best pure mage in the game.

From a RP point of view, getting to Spellhold quickly to rescue Imoen makes sense. You can do the side quests after Underdark.

From a good aligned point of view Nalia is the best choice if you want to do a lot of questing before you hit Spellhold. If you quest before Spellhold then Nalia is a good 3+ levels above your sister and with nearly a full spellbook.

A couple other observations:

Having Nalia and Edwin in the same party is quite fun. She teases him endlessly and Edwin makes a lot of threatening dialog towards her. It's a powerful mage combo for the Tactics mod but overkill for anything else.
