Who should stay, and who should go???.......Spoilers

AngelofDeath · 09-03-2001, 08:35 PM

Ok, so I go out and get TOB.......YAY.....

I'm going through the prison, and Minsc(my Fav, up to this point) starts Yackin' about what is he doing here, are we still headed down the same path Etc, etc.........He also has been getting pummeled..... What to do???

Also who should be picked up? I picked up Sarevok, then dropped him in the PP, should I go back and pick him up......

Can somebody help me?????

I preferred Sarevok over Minsc, because my main Char. that I play is a ranger, and I needed more strength than what Minsc could give me.

I had Aerie, Jaheira, Mazzy, Me(ranger), Sarevok, and Imoen.
I fared very well in battle.

Personally, I suggest you decide who you favor, and who you think can offer you a good hand in combat.

Asking us is kinda asking your mom what shirt you should wear with these pants...no offense, just an example.

I had before Aerie, Jaheira, Mazzy, Edwin Imoen and Me a Ranger too... now, I chose Sarevok over Mazzy, armed him with Wave +5... boom! He blew off Mazzy of the charts!!!

Larry's example is right...

Heya! It's me, Imoen! And I looove bunnies!!!

AngelofDeath · 09-04-2001, 09:10 AM

OK, then try this..........Who is in your party????

I have
Me(kensai/Mage)
Minsc & Boo
Aerie
Jaheira
Valygar(though I dropped him for Sarevok, for Saradush, then went back to him)
Imoen

I was having problems with Sarevok, always dying, till I used Limited wish, for some armor He was getting better, but I got a little nervous. He startewd to pick a fight with Jaheira, then Minsc, and he is always wanting to kill stuff.
Telling me we better kill stuff or else.

I just hate Sarevok too much from BG1. I have him imprisoned in my pocket plane until he regrets tricking me into resurecting him. Maybe I should free him, cast Horrid Wilting and Contagion on him, and re-imprison him just to make sure he is suffering enough!

------------------
I'm confused. Explain to me again how peace and forgiveness will help me to crush my enemies and make them suffer.

But you owe him so much! If it was not for him, you would be trapped in that Library, still...never getting to do that romance stuff with whoever your porkin', and all that!

Hi, I've a question related to this topic, which is : How many fighters or priests are sufficient for TOB?

I had 2.5 fighters (Kensai PC, Minsc and Jaheira) and 1.5 priests (Viconia and Jaheira) in SoA. But I read somewhere that lots of monsters are highly magic resistant and that fighters would be better at eliminating them (being properly buffed up). So I'm not sure whether to dump Jaheira and get a full fighter for this purpose.

If anyone has any comments on this, please feel free to share them. Thanks!

Who to pick, and who to drop, depends on your playing style.

For example, do you use spells as your primary offensive,and fighters to mop up? Or fighters to hack n' slash, with spells to protect and give support fire?

My style is the latter, and I used this party in SoA:

Kensai - NG
Minsc
Aerie
Jaheira
Keldorn
Jan (Imoen from Chap 4 onwards).

In ToB, I dropped Minsc for Saraevok.

Try to have a balanced party - tanks, offensive spell casters, defensive spell casters, and a thief (to find and disarm traps, and pick locks). My party has all these elements and I like to use Imoen (w/Staff of Magi) as a scout to go ahead of the party (invisibled, of course), to check out the next area before I move in with the rest of the party.
