Keldorn is the only one who can wield the Holy Avenger, so I'd stick with him for that reason, though Minsc is really funny and can dual wield maces and you get some good ones in the game. He can also specialize in 2H swords and use the Vorpal blade. It all comes down to personal preference.

Ouch, that's kind of a tough one. You are definately tank heavy. Personally I'm inclined toward the Minscter, but Keldorn with Carsomyr is good to have. For me it's a matter of versatility and sentimentality, I'd keep the Minscter, I have him as a master dual wielding +3 and +2 maces for CQB, and he's good with the Elven Court Bow and Bracers of Archery at range. Just my opinion. Memnoch is probably right.
Did you see my response in the thread regarding Jaheira and the battle in the Druid Grove?

I'd go with Minsc. Putting my dislike for paladins aside, I'd still say Minsc is more versatile. You've got Edwin, so you don't need Keldorn's little innate abilities; the only thing you'd be keeping him around for would be Carsomyr. Minsc can scout, kick ass in both close-quarters and ranged combat, and go nuts if you're in a tight spot, and he's funny as all hell.

Heh. Good luck deciding Lora!

I'd say keep both and ditch Korgan. In my own humble opinion he's the most boring NPC (aside from Nalia maybe) and with both Minsc and Keldorn you don't need his Grand Mastery at axes either.

'Cept Korgan's the best fighter in the game.

I've heard Korgan described a lot of things uncomplimentary but boring wasn't quite on that list.

Well, ok, I might be wrong about him being boring since I havn't played with him that much really. However, I found Keldorn and Minsc more to my liking.

Cannot argue about him kicking butt on the battlefield though.

Ah yeah, I wouldn't say he's boring at all. The little quips he makes at everyone else's expense are priceless. Especially that one about Nalia that just comes out of the middle of nowhere.
