Armen:
i struggle to justify how a party paladin would ditch his party in SoA (especially Imoen) - just a thought . . .
Consider what happens to you at the beginning of SoA. Pally might conclude it's better for all concerned if he deals with his problem alone, so no friends come to harm, die in battle, get polymorphed into squirrels, etc.
Ditching Imoen is even easier to justify because it's a micro-level change. She's annoying, for one. For two, if PC didn't use Imoen in BG1 he might conclude she's not "ready" for adventuring. (Regardless of the level/class game assigns her, where did she get the experience?) Third possibility: You took her along in BG1 and she died (permanently). Protagonist concludes she's a doppleganger in BG2 and sets out on a quest to KILL HER. *maniacal cackle*
