How to mix a Party, Tips anyone?

The Silent One · 07-16-2001, 02:53 PM

I was thinking about my Comrades. my Kensai Mage needs some company.

I would like to take Edwin, but this opens up a well of questions...

he is lawful evil, anyone know if there are people he doesn`t mix well with?

I thought about:

Aerie
Jaheira
Minsc
Joshimo
or even Anomen or Keldorn

but i don`t want any fights in my group. Can anyone tell me who of these doesn`t get along with Edwin? I think good ol Minsc would manage, but how about those Lawul do-gooders?

Any Ideas?

I think Minsc hates Edwin....

Minsc+Edwin=BOOOM.
Don't put the two together. They'll kill eac other eventually. Why did Edwin hate Dynaheir anyway, I never figured that out.

For a good group I'd choose:
Aerie (1 weak mage,1 weak cleric)
You (fighter, 1 good mage)
Anomen (good cleric)
Minsk(fighter)
Kedorn (Karsomyr)
Jan(Thief/mage) changed to Imoen.

That's the party I had in my first game, but with Jahera instead of Anomen, just because I wanted to feel as if the story was continuing from BG1.

Well, Edwin was from the Red Wizards (or maybe Zentharim) and he was ordered to kill Dynaheir.

they dont fight. they argue but they dont break out in a fight.

and the sky will rain fire...

Do any of the combinations break into fights automatically after a while? I think i would enjoy a nasty dialogue, but i want no Intr Party Combat.

Who will fight with Edwin?

(C`mon, some of you 70th time players gotta know for sure...)

Yes, Edwin and Minsk do break into a fight. Perhaps your charisma has somthing to do with it, but I know that they do break into a fight.

Minsc and Edwin will eventually come to blows. Anomen (if he fails his test) will also try to hurt Aerie (nasty bastard).

It's bleedin dark down here, slippery too.

Also, beware of mixing Edwin and Keldorn for too long. They will eventually both leave your party to fight each other (if Edwin has a Finger of Death memorized he uses it first and automatically destroys Keldorn every time.)

However, I think their fight can be avoided by not having Keldorn stand behind Edwin for too long. The fight would always begin when Edwin had his back to Keldorn, so I would reload and arrange their positions differently and the fight wouldn't happen again until Keldorn stood behind Edwin once more.

Also, I believe Viconia and Keldorn will fight. Also, Korgan and Aerie DO NOT mix well at all. They hate each other and eventually Korgan's taunting will make Aerie leave your party.
