    @ZaramMaldovar , Be careful taking Eldoth that early, from the Lion's Way crossroads.

    He makes Bentley shut down all services in the Friendly Arms Inn as soon as Bentley sees him.

    Oooh...thanks for that. :)

    I'm going to pick him up this playthrough for the first time ever, not that early as I'm already through a goodish part of the game. But that would have been a nasty surprise.

    @UnderstandMouseMagic
    Yeah I know, I found that out the hard way. Zaram had to kill him for that (Eldoth obviously, not Bentley)

    @tbone1
    That is true, no one can stop Edwin as a mage. Baeloth however is a Sorceror and tops Edwin quite nicely as an arcane spellcaster.

    @JumboWheat01
    While I've never used Alora, quick tweaking with the BG1 NPC Project Mod allows you to pick up late game NPCs a little earlier

    Tiax can be moved from Baldur's Gate to Beregost.
    Alora can be moved from Baldur's Gate to Gullykin
    Eldoth can be moved from Cloakwood to the Crossroads
    Quayle can be moved from Wyrm's Crossing to the Nashkel Carnival

    Okay, its probably more accurate to say that evil has BETTER specialists. Edwin trumps Dynaheir, Kagain is the best tank and one of only three trueclass fighters (two of which are evil). While good/neutral get all the multiclasses IIRC.

    Mmm... Yeslick is indeed quite awesome. Wish he was available earlier, and that I didn't have to leave someone to die or go through the mines with only five characters worth of carrying space to get him. Though I can see arguments for Kagain (who's evil,) who has better physical stats without needing to rely on spells to make him better, and natural regeneration all the time. Plus, Kagain is available quite early and quite easily too.

    I can also see arguments for Viccy (who's evil) over Branwen, do in no small part of her innate Magic Resistance. Spells be a problem, at all levels.

    As for Alora, by that point in the game, it's almost silly to try adding a new party member. All your current crew have been invested in with items and time.

    Kivan, though, I'll hand it to you. Well, if we ignore Coran, who's at least the same alignment.

    Yeslick can make one of the best characters in the game with a few items...

    Big Fisted Belt (Str19, Int6...means +4 Str for -1Int)
    Gloves of dexterity
    If your PC doesn't use wisdom, you could also throw the 3 wisdom tomes his way.

    This gives him:

    Str (19) Dex (18) Con (17) Int (6) Wis (19) Cha (10)

    Then he casts some buff spells on himself, and with his fighter levels goes to town smacking bad guys around.

    Jaheira, True Neutral. Everything about her screams Neutral Good.


    Isnt she NG in BG 2?
  • JumboWheat01JumboWheat01 Member Posts: 1,028
    Still True Neutral, because the 2e rules state that Druids must always be True Neutral. If she was ported to 3.X, she would totally be bumped to Neutral Good, and could still be a Druid.

    @helmo1977
    No, Jaheria is still TN in BG2, you might remember her being NG if you used a mod that did it.
