I'm new in BG (yeah, there are still such people...) and not sure how to compose my first party.
So far I've got:
Protagonist - Blade
Aerie
Anomen
Jaheira
Minsc
Nalia,
which more or less is everybody I've met so far (just started Chapter 2).
Having read through NPC descriptions on this site, I'm thinking about something like:
Protagonist
Aerie
Jaheira
Minsc
Jan Jansen
Imoen - when (if?) I get her back
I have a solid tank (protagonist) + Jaheira and Minsc, 3 mages (sort of) and 2 divine casters. In addition Prot. and Minsc can deal a decent amount of damage in face-to-face. Can you, the more experienced guys, tell me what are the drawbacks of the party I don't see?
Do I need to have NPCs in the party to complete their quests (eg. Nalia)?
Thanks for all replies
