Have I made a mistake?

Gespenst

I just reached Spellhold island or whatever it's called, if I take Imoen into my party whenever I get to her am I going to have to abandon someone here?

spoiler free advice: rescue her first, then worry about party dynamics

Gespenst

Ok. I just didn't want to leave someone behind in case I wanted them later/because that would have been a dick move.

Who's in your party currently?

Gespenst

Minsc, Keldorn, Nalia, Aerie and Jaheira.

Tresset

Nalia = Imoen so you could ditch her and you wouldn't feel hardly any difference...

Gespenst

That's what I'd planned to do but just because I didn't want Nalia in my party doesn't mean I wanted to leave her marooned for all eternity in the centre of a dead island.

Buried alive!

...no, wait that's something else.

I just don't want to kick her out and leave her in Imoen's cell...

Edit: Oh, it looks like I can just tell her to go home

Well that solves that.

Once again I have saved the day and with none the wiser!

Or something.

I'm glad it worked out for you ^_^

It is one of the issues with the game. It really does feel wrong.

"My comrade! I thank you for your friendship, and all you have sacrificed for my quest. But I can't have more than five allies. So...let's not make this any more awkward than it already is..."

Yeah, I've had the same problem, because I was running a five-person party and installed the Tiax mod. But even though you just rescued Imoen, you can ditch her. In a similar vein, you can kick Minsc out in Irenicus's dungeon, and then tell him to go to the Copper Coronet, which you, according to continuity and chronology, have never been to, and neither has he.

I recommend that you try Yoshimo in a later playthrough.
