You know, one of the worst things I've done to NPCs is that I took them into my party, promising the great adventures and a lot of money ahead. Only to get them chunked in the process because of golems/dragons/demonknights.
Now looking at this again, I'm coming to a conclusion that including NPCs into my party was the worst thing possible for them.
I'm on a solo run as a Kensai/Thief and I was in Nashkel after clearing the mines when I got attacked by Nimbul the assassin. I was just about to finish him when Rasaad stepped in and struck the death blow. I was so annoyed that he had stolen one of my kills that I recruited him and took him to meet Shoal the Nereid:
It does of course mean that I have broken my own rules for my solo run but it was still strangely satisfying.

I agree , Rasaad interfering is infuriating. (just why Beamdog?)
However, there is one thing Rasaad can be useful for with Nimbul. And it's so totally ridiculous you would have thought somebody would have noticed.
If Nimbal turns invisible, you can be in real danger. But if Rasaad has zoned in on him, he can see through the invisibility. So you always know where Nimbul is because Rasaad follows and attacks.

You didn't break your rules... you just helped a lost soul find peace and then resumed your adventures

That makes me feel better. Is there a way of excusing the fact that I also allowed Neera to join my party - just for long enough to relieve her of her gem bag - and then ran away when she was attacked by an evil wizard?

You lightened her burden as she found her path to ultimate peace and quiet.

I still have a bad conscience because of what I did during my first playthrough.
Not only did I keep Keldorn after reconciling him with his wife, I then took him into ToB with me and left him in the Pocket Plane to recruit You-Know-Who.
My only excuse is that it was almost 20 years ago, I was 18 years old and my boyfriend was guiding me through the game that he loved and that I was learning to play.
The thought of Keldorn standing there without a chance to leave still haunts me, though. Needless to say, I didn't marry the ruthless guy who recommended that

I'm sure that Cespenar would have sent everybody back to where they belonged. He's my butler, after all. But where will Cespenar himself go??

Serve his new master Charname, Lord of Murder, of course!

But not her, she's not worthy.
Three times (BGEE, SoD, BG2EE).
I'll seek a priest now.
Feeding a Flaming Fist enforcer to a daemon;
Dropping a cow on Jaheiras head;
Xzar and Monty sacrificed their lives for me, and I did not better resurrecting them because I need them golds;
Helping myself to the harem girls most priced possessions;

Thanks, I was planning to rid myself of that thing at the soonest opportunity to do so.
Things took a dark turn all of a sudden...

I suppose I could use another lackey to carry my loot and massage my feet at night on my continuing adventures across Faerun...
The Main Character is really The Spoony Reviewer
