NPCs or not?

Post by Brynn »

Hello there

I'm planning to start the BG series all over again. I think I'll have three characters on my party, all of them created by me. Do you think it's a loss not to have Imoen, Jaheira, Khalid, or any other NPC with me? Will it have an effect later on in BG II? I mean, will Jaheira or Minsc remember me sending them away? What if I let them be killed, will they still appear in BG II or not?

Unless you're playing TuTu, your ingame choices and actions will not affect BG2 in any way.

And why would you want to miss out on Minsc?? "Go for the eyes, Boo!!" And as Moltovir says, there is no effect on their interactions in BG2 - in my current BG1 game both Jaheira and Khalid met sticky ends, but they'll turn up in BG2.

Hmmm, I think my half-elven female bard may have some difficulty romancing Jaheira... And I really can't stand Anomen. Might have to try the Kelsey mod...

I don't think being a lesbian (female female relation -> is it even possible in BG :|) is in Jaheira's tome of balance, it's not nature's way as they say ;) . I have no problems with gay-relationships or whatever, just for the (jaheira) record.

I know that there are a couple of modded NPCs who "swing all ways", so if you really want something like that, you can install them! However, that is strictly SoA/ToB, not BG 1.

Cheers!

Actually i ahve to admit that BG I bantering/NPC interaction is very minimal, comparing it to BG II :) . Have been playing BG I for a time now and i see less voice-overs and dialogues between my party members (none actually ;) ) :D

There is a BG1 NPC Banter pack, if you want to install it. Only works under Tutu though. It's on the Gibberlings 3 website (http://www.gibberlings3.net/bg1npc/index.html). I haven't tried it, as I'm not using Tutu.

Cheers,
