Memory loss - possible to recruit both Minsc/Dynaheir and Edwin in BG1:EE?

Sed

Title says it all more or less.
I can't really remember the original, but at least I know you could bug the whole thing.

But now in BG:EE, is it possible to get them all at the same time, or how does it work?

Koson

It was possible before too - get Minsc and rescue Dynaheir then recruit Edwin who will tag along to keep an eye on the witch. Sooner or later though they'll come to blows.

I remember one playthrough where I searched for Dynaheir on Edwin's request. When I found her she started to thank me, then noticed Eddie peaking over the edge of the well and, in a very dignified manner, she asked me if she was to die after all. I said, nope, no way. Edwin threw a fit, then grudgingly decided to still tag along with us to, yes, to keep an eye on the witch it was I think. Later on we encountered Minsc, who was overjoyed to see his witch, and immediately asked who where those ruffians (my party) surrounding her, and if they required any righteous butt kicking. Dynaheir told him to be quite and come along like a good boy, and we all lived happily ever after. (Weeeeell... until we all died messily in a bandid camp shortly thereafter. Those cold arrows, such mean weapons they were... ;P ).

While you can have all three in the same group for a while they will eventually come to blows. The only way I think you could finish the game with all three is to rush to beat it before this happens as I believe it was set on a timer. So after a number of in-game days the three would go at it.

If you want two mages and a fighter type character though I'd suggest just taking Edwin then pick up Xzar and Kagain. All three are solid choices.

I'm not planning on keeping Minsc and Dynaheir this time around, I'm doing an Evil run :-)
Just planning ahead on how to do the quest of finding Dynaheir.

Oh, and how I could have forgotten that - I once completed the game with no-warrior party:
Bard PC
Imoen
Dynaheir
Xzar
Xan
Edwin

No arguments broke out - I guess because the bard!PC had maxed charisma and negotiated all conflicts (at the time I didn't know charisma had that effect, so it was just a very lucky choice of class on my part. )

I always found it funny when you walked up to Edwin with Dynaheir in your party and he ask will you help him look for her. Hopefully its been addressed.

I remember once having a team of Kagain, Yeslick, Minsc, Dynaheir & Edwin. Not only did the two mages continuously start quarreling but the two dwarves as well. At least an interesting episode. But I reformed the party evetnually as it didn't work out very well (not that the class setup was wrong).

I rescued Dynaheir with misc and when I came back I turned down Edwin and he disappeared. I changed my mind on him and Im wondering if there is any way for me to find him again to recruit him.

kxr1der

no one?

@kxr1der: generally, if you turn down someone, they're gone. as in: forever. new characters are the exception, but for everyone else... yeah, console is your only bet.

I'm in a playthrough right now where I just picked up Edwin and Minsc. I sort of hoped/expected that they would come to blows as soon as I picked up the second one, but surprisingly, they both joined. So now I'm headed over to pick up Dynaheir and see what happens.

@Rhyme: bloodbath. you're gonna leave at least one corpse at the scene.
