If that's all you do, no harm should be done. Try to ignore everything else that Shadowkeeper can do, though. [img]smile.gif[/img]

This can be very hard sometimes...

Lilacor also seems to be tailor-made for Minsc, and you can get it early in the game without too much hassle... Who has ever played a party in which Minsc didn't use Lilacor at least for a while?

Seems like you're just "supposed" to take Minsc with you.

That's why they put him right there in the beginning, right along with Jaheira and Imoen. The designers "assumed" you would have these characters after BG1 (or they were their favorites, and stuck you with them as a reult). Thus, they altered all of them to fit the new game better. Imoen was dual-classed, to give a mage in the first dungeon (and was assumed that you would have done so anyway in BG1, since there was only one good-aligned mage). Jaheira went through a major personality shift, so that she would not be despised as much as she was in BG1. And Minsc was changed to make him useful to the PC throughout the early game, and along the main plot quests (change in favored enemy, etc.).

the designers just decided to make SoA more a plot-driven game than BG, and therefore all the bouns and tweaking go to their appointed NPCs (among the romanceble NPCs, we get the most out of romancing Jaheira). However, as we all know, we can play the game in anyway we wish without paying attention to the *assumed* storyline. the interesting thing is that they actually took out Minsc's own quest (the unfinished business mod restores it); maybe that's one more reason to give him more bonus.

I haven't yet installed unfinished business. Without spoiling too much, what is the nature of Minsc's own quest?
