You mean you like Kagain? What for? Apart from his 20 CON, he's useless....give him the Gauntlets of Dexterity (which Edwin also needs) and he's still nothing but a decoy.
Katherine: If you want to play BG2 with an Evil party, you should get TOB as well. I was kinda disappointed that there were no new NPCs in ToSC,* but happily BioWare didn't repeat that with TOB. As for Evil NPCs in straight BG2, there's a grand total of only
16 NPC's, only 3 of whom are Evil! All 3 are very good characters, though. Don't worry, the selection is just as slim for Good parties as well, especially if your PC isn't a true-class Thief. Too bad you can't keep the NPCs from BG1.....though I suppose you could 're-create' them with Gatekeeper and import them to a Multiplayer game.
*In BG2, you can choose kits for your true-class character(s). One of the Druid kits allows you to shapeshift into a very powerful version of a werewolf, and I was really hoping I'd meet a recruitable NPC like this on the "Mendas's Island" quest.
