Like the question says how many of you use made up charecters instead of npcs?

The first time through I used characters I created. Little did I realize how much story and interaction I was missing! Ever since, I've always had at least one NPC in my party at all times, usually mostly NPCs. Although one can create a perfectly balanced, powerful party using his own characters, he will miss out on quite a bit.

It's fun to see you own characters work

I always play through a game single player at least once, because I found out that if you don't, you'll miss a lot of fun. Even when you come back later, it just isn't the same when you haven't tried it the SP way.
Afterwards, I usually make my own parties and play the game that way, just to see how it would play if I had this or that kind of character. The NPC's add a lot of background to the game ------------------ The last arrow of Legolas kindled in the air as it flew, and plunged burning into the heart of a great wolf-chieftain.

I've done it both ways.
Now, I'm playing the whole game through, with Imoen in my party. Anything that adds replayability, is good. |

Its easy. You can either play a single player game, or a multiplayer game. To use your own characters just start a multiplayer game and import your own characters. You are bascially playing a multiplayer game with yourself.
I suggest using 5 of your own characters, and leave 1 slot free so you can add ingame characters you meet to do some of their quests. That way you get the best of both worlds. Or do 4 of your own, and 2 NPC characters. |

I did it first with all good NPCs, then with all Evil, then with a team completly made by me.
The way I did it was i made a multiplayer game, saved it, then opened the BG2 SoA folder and copied the save files from Msave (I think thats the name) to save (again, I think thats the name) then I had a team completly made by me that I could load without playing in multiplayer ------------------ Jak Jak_TCM@Hotmail.com |

The only NPC I take is usually Viconia or Keldorn, but they get dumped and replaced about 1/2 ways through the game.
I use powerful wizards!! All on "wizard aggressive" script. ------------------ |
