Umar Hills

Lady Avalon · 03-12-2001, 10:51 PM

I just picked up Valygar in Umar Hills. I understand I need him for the quest to the planar sphere. In order for me to pick up Valygar, I have to get rid of one of my characters. I have Minsc, Jaheira, Aerie, Nalia and Yoshimo. Who shall I get rid of? And is this a temporary thing? Do I just keep Valygar until I finish this specific quest and then pick up the character I got rid of? Advice please!

An advice first, if you do not have any character using the katana Celestial Fury, you might want to consider keeping Valygar and let him dual wield it.
As for your party composition: You can pick between Minsc and Yoshimo (although ditching Yoshimo before going to Soellhold aka chp 4 you will miss some potential experience and story plot, but it is up to you). However, you can always dump Valygar once the Planar Sphere is done and pick up Minsc or Yoshi later in the chapter.

In the event you decide to dump Valygar, ditch Minsc (and BOO

) for now.

Personally, I would dump Nalia and hang on to Valegar. Not that Valegar is better than Nalia - I just find Nalia irritating, and when you have Aeris as well....! Anyway, Valegar can fight better!

True Nalia is a bit irritating, but a successful party should be a balance one, and no party should do without a mage or two. (I know Aerie is one, but Nalia has better mage potential than Aerie due to higher INT and exp cap, Nalia can also use a bow).

IMHO unless you are deeply into the romance with her, you should dump Aerie. You need Nalia for her thieving ability, plus she can cast spells. Valygar is a decent fighter and a worthy addition. I just wish he had more to say!

I'd ditch Nalia. Aerie can be your mage, and Yoshi your thief.

FAIR DINKUM!

Yoshi is one of the best thieves in the game! Nalia is only level four and can't rise. What are you talking about? He has a great storyline and short but rewarding subquest too.

I'd dump Aerie as you have Jaheira for your healing and Nalia for your magic. It's up to you if you want to keep Valygar permanently in your group after that - check him out and see how well he fits in with your party and playing style.
