I remember first time playing; Shadow Thieves. My character was a good guy and didn't want to break his early deal with Shadow Thieves to find Imoen. Second time playing, I was playing evil, so I was with Bodhi. It was interisting to see the other side. Third time again it was Shadow Thieves for some reason and now fourth time, I was forced to stay at Shadow Thieves. I was suprised Bodhi refused to even make a deal since I was playing Swashbuckler and leading the guildhouse instead of Mae'var. She was thinking I would "never" betray my guild. Never expected that.
1. My favourite class is a thief 2. I love them! 3. I feel it is more of a challenge to wipe out the vampires than it was to wipe out the Shadow Thieves
Unlike Bodhi, Aran seemed to have some (albeit slightly twisted) code of honor.
That much is true, at least. Aran is not your typical sinister assassin who would happily give anyone a knife in the back if it benefits him in the slightest.
I don't believe that the typical assassin does just kill people on a whim. In the end, an assassin is a businessman and knows enough that it is good practice to remain seen as a professional killer and not a crazed butcher.
Always sided with the thieves, never got myself to play an evil party to try out Bodhi's way around. Always considered that the evil way, definitely playing it both ways when the game comes out now.
I'm actually glad that either side will lead you to that Saemon Havarian guy. He's the best hero-villain hybrid in the game, always having an exit plan for himself, leaving his mess behind for me to clean.
First of all, it hated walking around through that fucking huge maze to meet Aran every single time you completed a quest xS Much quicker to get to Bodhi.
Besides, I get to kill ALL the Shadow Thieves AND the vampires by siding with Bodhi. (xp Xp XP!)
...Those Shadow Thieves are a bunch of pussies anyway
I have always sided with Shadow Thieves. I tried to kill all the thieves, though. The hardest part was Arkanis Gath(the guy that kills you with one blow).
I tend to play neutral characters and I can't see how a character who's not evil would join Bodhi. Also, in Baldur's Gate all but the most powerful undead, are pathetically weak.
"There's no life better than the thieves guild." That and half of the time I play an assassin or multi/dual class thief which leads to Shadow Thieves being the only option available.
I sided with Bodhi because I was playing as an evil character and playing down the evil path of course no matter what. Shadow thieves have proven themselves weak and I did myself a service by getting rid of their annoying presence.
Both depending on the character, but I think people are being a bit hard on the Bodhi option. For one thing, your character might not even know they're vampires until talking to Bodhi, by which time you've burned all your bridges with the Shadow Thieves anyway. The Shadow Thieves are a known force for evil and this new organisation is unknown to your character and is offering a chance to get to Imoen faster. Also siding with Bodhi provides the best outcome for Athkatla, both the Shadow Thieves and the Vampires are wiped out.
Shadow Thieves for me. There's just something that feels wrong with me when siding with Vampires in killing humans. I prefer to side with humans to kill vampires. :P
I've played the game through so many times. I've always sided with the Shadow Thieves. I've always wanted to give Bodhi a try, but every time I get to that point in the game, from a RP perspective, I've never played a character who has been so utterly evil (or stupid) as to think siding with a league of vampires is a good idea! That said, I'll have to side with Bodhi someday! I've done almost everything else in the BG games, so it seems like it's high-time to beseige the Shadow Thief stronghold.

I often install the Alternatives mod so there's a good choice.
