Minsc doesn't mind Edwin joining

Minsc had just joined my party and I had agreed to help rescue his beloved friend Dynaheir. Then I walk to Edwin and agree to help him kill Dynaheir. Minsc or Boo had nothing to say to this. I found it somewhat amusing.

    It's not until you find Dynaheir that they come to blows.

    Generally, BG1 had very little party interaction.

    I can't recall in what order I did things, but I actually managed to have Minsc, Edwin and Dynaheir in the party at the same time without them killing each other or Edwin leaving. This was years ago back in regular BG though, so maybe it was bugged or something.

    It's possible. What you need to do is to pick up Minsc first and ignore Edwin. Then once you've rescued Dynaheir, talk to him and he'll say something about needing to "keep watch" of her, coming along. They won't fight after that, at least to my knowledge.

    After what Chow said, they'll be in the same mode as Jaheira/Khalid vs. Montaron/Xzar and Ajantis vs. evil NPCs and so on. They'll fight eventually, but depending on when you get them and how high your charisma is (delays the reactions) you won't see it happen.

    I cannot remember the exact details but does Edwin mention Dynaheir specifically?
    Yes. He says "...I am Edwin, and I would have you work for me. It is but the simple chore of killing the witch Dynaheir..."

    Thay and Rashemen are like cat and dog. There aren't that many Rashemi witches on the Sword Coast. Even if Edwin didn't mention the name, he's a Red Wizard and even Minsc should be able to put one and one togeher.

    This is Minsc we are talking about...
    Minsc is a bit slow, not autistic. He grew up in Rashemen and became a berzerker there. It would be a bit weird if the one thing they forgot to teach him was who the enemy is, or if he graduated (berzerker school or wherever such people are trained) without knowing that.

    Minsc is brain damaged actually, who knows whats going on in that head of his.

    Boo might have a fair idea.

    If Minsc was unable to seperate friend from foe, no-one would have hired him as a bodyguard. And if so, certainly not survived the trip from Rashemen to the Sword Coast (unless Dynaheir can run really really fast, who knows?).

    MInsc is actually to cautious not the other way around.

    you can have all 3 in the same party.

    Side note: well when you installed ToSC for the original BG1, the game gave you a hint to which characters would follow in BG2. The mission pack that came with was composed party of Abdel (Human Fighter) with 18/91 Str, 19 Dex and Con and Char, and then 7 Int and 6 Wisdom I believe then, Imoen, Minsc, Edwin, Jahera and Viconia. Which just happens to be the party I like the roll with since all of them are in BG2 as well.

    Kind of interesting to see that party with no Khalid or Dynaheir.
