Howdy all.
Was curious to hear some opinions on Party compositions. I am in Chapter 2 right near the beginning. Before setting off I decided to explore the city a bit, and came across several NPC's. Currently my party is made up of: Me (Paladin) Minsc Jaheira Viconia (Yes she is listed as evil, but hey people can change!) Nalia Aerie Now I am very happy with keeping Minsc, Jahiera, and Viconia. Good amount of melee and healing. Nalia I like for the limited thieving and casting abilites, though I will bring Imoen back in once I rescue her. I am really on the fence on if I should keep Aerie or replace her with Jan. If I replace her with Jan I can later on replace Jan with Imoen. So anyways, any thoughts or comments? Thanks! |

Ditch Nalia and Pick up Jan. Aerie has healing spells, and if you pick up Jan, you don't need Nalia's theif abilities. Interesting combo with Paly and Vicky.

You need a thief so pick up Jan.
Ditch Nalia..she is dumb. Do not start a romance with Virc. Try Jaheira(go to Harper strhold) Ditch Virc for Imoen in...spoiler..............Chapter 4 otherwise nice. You should aim for: 2 Warriors 1 Mage 1 Mage+Thief 1 Cleric 1 Druid |

it all depends on your play style, some combo's are not as effective as others but try to find a balance you are happy with.
you've got two tanks pc & minsc (jaheria can pitch in too) 3 healer types (jaheria aerie & viconia) more than enough 2 mage types nalia & aerie you've got some problems w/ thief, personally i like nalia as a mage (her voice can get a little grating at times) but i don't like her as party thief aerie -> jan looks like you're best move if you want to keep a second mage. yoshimo should still be an option also. you could then look to dump nalia if a better mage comes along... |

Well thanks for the timely info! Much appreciated. Now one question regarding Nalia. When I met her she had a quest involving a keep I believe. By removing her does that effect the quest in any way?
Tough choice between Nalia and Aerie.... should be fine either way. Jan I will grab tonight. Regardless I will have Imoen rejoin once I save her. O and as far as Yoshi goes, that guy annoyed the hell out of me the second I picked him up. As soon as I found a good spot to ditch him he was gone! |

Dump Nalia. Shes a MORON. If you pick up Jan hes a better spellcaster,theif and he cracks me up. Half the time when you click on him to tell him to do something the first thing he does is fart!!!! I LMAO playing with Jan. Most enjoyable character in the game. Then theres the fact that Nalia is just plain annoying. Worthless as a theif. She is easily the mos replaceable caracter in the entire game. Edwin is a much better Mage than Nalia and if you have him and Jan in your party you can kick some serious butt.
------------------ IS THE PIZZA HERE YET???? WANNA PASS ME A BEER??? THANKS!!!!!! |

Yes, Yes indeed, certainly pick up Jan, I'd think twice about taking back imoen, get rid of Aerie also and pick up valygar or Mazzy, you need a good ranged weapons person !
