BTW, 18 con is not necessary for a Thief/Mage, only warrior classes (Fighters, Rangers, Paladins, Barbarians) get a bonus for constitution >16. I was thinking that he might ...

Thanks everyone for all your input!

My current party looks like this, I've only just entered Chapter 2.
PC: Elven Thief/Mage , I spent about 15 minutes rerolling my stats and finished up with: STR:18, DEX:19, CON:18, INT:18, WIS:8, CHR:18 (with the ring of charm you get early).
PC2: Half-Orc ...

So Korgan is all the tank I'd need?
I'm wondering what class to make my PC in that case.

Possibly
PC: Fighte/Mage
Korgan
Viconia
Edwin
Jan Jansen

Or
PC: Assassin
Korgan
Viconia
Edwin

Or
PC: Thief Mage
Korgan
Viconia
Edwin
A N Other Tank

I like the idea of having more than one big stronger ...

Thanks for all the advice!

Is there another tank to play alongside Korgan to replace Imoen?
I 'm considering taken Anomen, let him fail his quest and become fallen.

How does this party sound?
Me: Thief/Backup Mage
Korgan
Viconia
Edwin
My own created tank.

I'd then rotate in other NPC's for their ...

hello, I've finished BG:SOA once as a ranger, taking the 'good route' all the way through.
I'm interested in having another go and not being such an angel this time
I'll either be a Thief, or possibly a thief/mage.
So I won't need Yoshimo or Imoen really.
My planned party will have

Me T/M
Korgan ...

What I did was use 'animate dead' spells to get about 5 undead to use as fodder.
If you use your thief hidden in shadows to find out where exactly Yxunomei is, then retreat the thief and send the undead summons to that spot.

If you don't advance to where she is in sight of your party then the fight ...

I think it is worth beating the lich in Crooked Crane before you embark on Chap 3. That's because you'll get a nice weapon useful against enemies you'll meet.
The lich is not connected with other liches, though. There are total of three related to ...

well the less spoilers the better I suppose :)
my Qs boil down to,

is yoshimo the best to use Celestial fury?
Jaheira, dual wield Belm scimitar and blackblood, or is the bonus AC of a shield plus Belm a better way to go?

Crom Faeyr - How soon before I can trundle off to cromwell to get it made (I ...

I've just finished Chapter 2 and I've got

1) Keldorn wielding Carsomyr - this guy is an absolute beast! I don't get
how anyone could stick with minsc and Lilarcor when they could have this guy
this early in the game.
2) Anomen with big shield and Flail of Ages. He's got 1 proficiency
in flails ...

More Questions!

Thanks for all the replies (and the Minsc quotes!)

a few more questions,
1) Lucy the Wyvern in the Adventurers Mart, she never talks to me, even though my reputation is 18, she still "turns away haughtily", is she actually useful for anything?

2) You know all the notes and keys ...

just to clarify!
In the examples I mentioned in my first post(s), the enemys always had the red circles around them, or else I'd sent Yoshimo hiding in shadows scouting ahead and he'd initiated a conversation with a cyan circle monster/boss, but since he was hidden I was able to make him run back to ...

Is this a cheesy tactic?

I'm in chapter 2, and just completed the Unseeing Eye quest,
when I went deeper down to get the second part of the Rift Device I was getting mugged by the Gauths and Beholders, reloaded about 4 times, still getting killed and heavily damaged.

So I had a look at the ...

4)She is very flexible and can use her either as a tank (IMHO the best option), give her a shield and her AC can be very high (iron skin helps a lot here), or she can stay in the back casting spells+plus sling, last option let her dual wield a club plus Belm and she ...

First thing, though, I have two questions:
-Have you got Throne of Bhaal (ToB) add-on, too?
-Do you like play hack'n slash, or you like using spells?

not got TOB
prefer hack and slash at the moment, but I'm guessing later in the game is a bit easier if you've good ...

Just started playing BG2, enjoying it hugely,
my party is Me (Archer), Minsc, Anomen, Jaheira, Yoshimo, Aerie.
I haven't got too far into the game so far, done some small quests around Amn, and the D'arnise Keep, and Trademeet+Druid quests. But I already have some n00b questions!

1) Fallen ...
