Your party

Post by Denethorn »

I originally posted this on the Baldur's Gate boards but since I have completed that and have imported to start (again) on BG2 I am again curious as to what peoples party preferances are.

I go with:
Me (paladin, oh and he is a Surpreme universe commanding child of bhaal, Lord of Murder for future referance)
Aerie (annoying voiced mage)
Keldorn (Holy Avenger :cool: )
Anomen (whining git but a good cleric)
Minsc (Tank, and comes with a free! Yes Free! giant space hamster!)
Yoshimo (pinhead dancer and theif)
"I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!"

my trying new stuff party:

Valani Darkmour elf ftr / thief
Anomen, always.
Keldorn, dual wields foa & equalizer. (picked him up early enough to set proff's)
Imoen, always.
Mazzy, pleasant suprise.
Cernd, not as bad as i had thought, did not need jaheria's ftr skills anyway w/ this party. really want to see what druids are capable of in tob.

---

powerwise i liked this party better w/ jaheia & minsc instead of mazzy + cernd. we'll see what happens, wondering who to drop for new tob npc.

Ftr/ thief dual Tieran (me)
Mazzy- I like her dialogue she sounds sooo nice! ;)
Imoen- You have got to have her, she shares your godhood.
Minsc-His righteous butt-kicking is #1 in BGII FoA/Frost Reaver or crom Fayr when available.
Viconia- Her undead turning is great/ great cleric with lots o' MR.
Nalia- She's the best mage in the game.
When the warrior is not in battle he doesn't rest. He sharpens his sword.

Valygar (dual-weild Celestial Fury+Equalizer)
Korgan (dual-weild Frostbane+Crom-Faeyr)
Anomen (My romance and a good cleric)
Imoen (Main offensive spell-caster)
Jan (Backup mage and a great thief)
Valorhan, High Justicer of Asteran

Hang on..

Keldorn and Valygar wielding The Equalizer (usable by 'true' Neutral only) :rolleyes:

Anyway..

Jan Jansen, my fav NPC.

So many crypts and ruins that need disarming. Jan is the "gnome" when it comes to mouse traps (put ALL points into traps and locks). Also thanx to those Illusion spells and cloak of non-detection, is the finest sneak. Armed with his frazelthingy and disable/dispel spells, he makes an incomparable Mage Slayer. Imowho?

Besides, you have to adore all his interactions.

Me: Some cheesy dual (haven't decided yet). :D Either:
Kensai-Mage
Stalker-Cleric
Swashbuckler-Mage
Priest of Helm-Mage

These three practically make up a party all by themselves:
Jan
Jaheira
Aerie

On top of that:
Imoen: Sister.
Keldorn: Master of cheese, placeholder for brother Sarevok.

Cernd shouldn't dual-wield at all. He gets a -2/-2 (or was it -2/-4?) with only one * in dual-wielding. Let him fight in his werewolf forms instead.

My part before: (it was good one and i completed the game SOA and got all of them to the exp limit)
ME (Undead Hunter with dual Katanas... dont remember which, i think Celestrial Fury and something else good)

Minsc (Minc will lead with blade and boot, Boo will take care of the details. I wanted him to have that two-haned sword from Red Dragon cos it rules but only for Paladins and i couldnt hit crap with it. So he had 2 handed sword Jorill dagger or whatever that i bought from Aventurers)

Anomen (He had damn good shield and a damn good mace and a damn good armor 'n a damn good spells... dont remember names :-)

Jaheira (Not bad fighter and not bad spells specially with that equpment i gave her hehe. Oh yeah she was my %#tch :-)

Jan (good one i must say.)

Aerie ( When her and Jaheira started to argue about who i like most i wanted to choose like LEAVE ME THE F%&/ ALONE but there was no thing like that even with 20 Charisma so i jus said Jaheira since she is not that childish and whining all the time )

Now i started a new game as Ranger (with two Katanas again since i am im a wanna be Samurai and have all old movies about them like Yojimbo hehehe :-) and wanted some other folks in my party. I was always good and stuff and guys that whoop ass were bad (Edwin, i wanted him but i knew that Minsc and him will fight to deah. Korgan, good warrior but always *****ing about how good and nice i was.) Minsc is one good who is bad ass.

So now i have:
ME (Ranger, 2 Katanas or 1 Katana and one good Long Sword)

Keldron (Good warrior, though after his wifes quest when i came back to get him after he spent one day with his family he said that he felt like father again and said LETS GO RESCUE YOUR IMOEN FAST SO I CAN GET BACK TO MY FAMILY. I was standing there like F/%#. I felt like it was real life. i almost pressed YOU KNOW KELDRON I'VE BEEN THINKING... WHO AM I TO KEEP YOU WITH ME WHEN YOU HAVE A FAMILY AND WANT TO BE WITH THEM... NEVER have i felt like that with anygame and when im gonna get TOB and complete it i think im gonna be quite sad... i am already :)

Minsc and Boo (tank and tank commander, guess who's the commander)

Yoshimo (now i like him better than Jan cos i got bored of his smart-ass talking and cos Yoshi he can handle KATANA hehe)

Jaheira (again)

Aerie (again, though i tried not to have her and got Viconia instead but then found out how hard it is without Mage. Viconia tragically "chunky" died in sphere when i had to get the heart of demon. So i found no-one else than her, wal there was Nalia but... truly if u could romace her than i would choose her since she's a human and nice girl lol )

So thats all my parties that were commanded by yours truly hehe :-)
