What do you guys think about...

Post by fatcow15 »

About... a party of

Minsc
a Paladin (me)
Viconia
Korgan
Aeerie
jan

Unfortunately, jaheira got pasted beyond resurrection, and I never liked her that much anyway (shhh), so she died, and I dont want to do the twisted ruins again, i did it 3 times, to try and save anyone from permanent death. So adding Viconia to a pretty much good party, will everyone hate me, and try to kill her?

This is the order i plan to put them in, to prevent bloodshed...

Me (I dont mind evil ppl I found that out already)
Viconia
Korgan
Minsc(he's always been beside Korgan)
Aeerie
Jan (he'll be replaced by Imoen)

What do you guys think, plz, help Im quite distraught.

If they haven't complained about Korgan then they're certainly not going to care about Viconia. I've only seen Mazzy and Keldorn actually go after her, and I almost always play a good/neutral party with Viconia in it. You're fine.

It is an unbalanced group. Prepare for problems when your reputation reaches 18 (Korgan and Viconia will leave you) or when your reputation drops below 6 (you get a fallen ranger and a fallen paladin). I recommend to keep your reputation between 13 and 17 for the whole game at any rate (well, you will pay in shops more than you must). Avoid reputation gaining quests.

When you say you dont like jahaira...I'm assuming you've never realized how useful her insect plague spell is...I mean this spell makes any and all mage fights to from difficult to being as easy as squashing a bug...i mean any mage...including irenicus... Amazing how you guys fight without this spell...must like betting you butts kicked regularly.

If you are a Paladin doesn't that contadict having evil (selfish see GVSE) people in your charachters, if you are playing it as a true RPG then this mix simply doesn't work, plus your party does not fight so well if they do not get along Image

Genesis is right, insect plague is very useful. It also helps you keep track of where all the enemies are at, even hidden or invisible ones.

I find Jaheira to be very useful because she can summon fire elementals without control problems very early on. There are a number of monsters that cannot hit the fire elemental because they do not have magic weapons. Jaheira is strong enough to wear plate and she can use equipment that are restricted to fighters. There are at least three +2 or better wooden/bone clubs in the game for her. With the right equipment she can be a decent melee fighter. I gave her the gauntlet of ogre power and the sling that included strength damage and she rocked. I remember her doing close to 30 points of damage on a critical hit with the sling.
