Want to create another all-female party... but there is a problem. Too many female NPCs. ;)

My previous all-female party was as follows,

Carlo Sanciona, Cavalier,
Imoen,
Nalia,
Aerie,
Mazzy,
Jaheira.

That was without ToB, but I never got around to pitting an all-female party through ToB. So I thought I would take a break from currently soloing my Archer and Assassin and get back into partying for a while at least.

Due to the introduction of ToB...

... Viconia can be redeemed and turned good. So now I have six female NPCs to choose from. I have narrowed down the list to three of them. Imoen, Aerie and Mazzy will stay.

Imoen stays because she is half-sister of the PC. Aerie stays because she is my second-favourite NPC in the game. Mazzy stays because she is the most mature and noble NPC female in the game in my opinion.

Soooo... ...

Who should I leave out of the adventure?

Jaheira grates on my nerves and I have a tendency to kill her in her cage whenever I start a game. I only tolerated her in the previous all-female party because the PC was female.

Nalia has got to be the whiniest brat I have ever met in this game. At least Aerie got good reasons to feel insecure, Nalia is just too pampered/sheltered... and badly misguided, if unintentional.

Viconia is evil, rude and kills at the slightest provocation. Just like any other female... kidding. ;)

Note... their classes does not matter at all to me. I am going more for personality. Who do you think deserves to be left out?

I say leave out Nalia...

Yeah I would agree with that. You already have Imoen and Aerie so why bother having Nalia who sucks as a thief and Imoen gets one extra spell for a level so is a better mage.

<font color="gold">Leave out Jaheira. Bad personality, only talks about herself and how sad it is without Khalid. [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

As I'm sure you know, Nalia isn't *quite* so whiny and bratty in ToB. I think that it's only right to keep Viconia if you really want to leave the world a better place; redeeming her and whatnot would certainly make the PC remembered. Jahiera I like only because I think she's funny, though I can see why she would get on your nerves. SO... I'm going to have to say leave Nalia, only because of what Dragonbreath and Zarr said, that you already have a dualclassed thief/mage.. It wouldn't be fair to Viconia or Jahiera to dump them, who you've known since BG1, for Nalia.
If you're looking for less bickering in the party, leave Viconia.. I don't understand why Jahiera and Viconia fight, because it seems to me Viconia at least grudgingly respects Jahiera. AND... "Truth be told, I would not mind traveling with Viconia." But Aerie hates Viconia just because she's drow, thus provoking Viconia to be cruel to her. Mazzy doesn't like Viconia, either. Jahiera is a bit condecending... condescending... Al Gore-ish towards Aerie, as Aerie's naivete clashes with Jahiera's worldliness, especially given Jahiera's recent loss of Khalid.
A big factor in this decision has got to be voice. I like Jahiera's and Viconia's voices, and could stand to listen to them the entire game. Nalia's voice isn't as appealing to me.
If I was the PC and I had to choose, I would pick Jahiera and Viconia, simply because they've been around and I would value their input.. even though these two in particular can be just a liiiitle bit biased in their opinions.
Viconia's rudeness can be refreshing. Since my party is almost always polite and such, to see Viconia make comments that even I would make at times is nice. Ultimately, though, it all boils down to who you like best. Let us know who you decide on, ok?

Who I like the best? It should be phrased as who irks me the least. ;) Although that only applies to Jaheira and Nalia. The only reason why Viconia is debatable is because of her initial alignment, the reason why she was not even a contender in the first team. Now that she is redeemable, I am giving her a chance, but I want some opinions on this matter first.

I say, try the new nalia romance.
It could be refreshing...

Eh? While some might find it appealing, the very idea makes my skin crawl. http://www.plauder-smilies.de/sad/smhair1.gif Aerie and Viconia any day. :D

Refreshing... Not enjoying...

Now, on a more serious note..
If you want a good female NPC which you can romance, download Tashia.
She is really the best female romance...

I have the Sola mod and Ascension already. Besides, if I am not mistaken, the Tashia mod is still under testing and not cleared yet.
