I have just bought BGI after playing BGII. There seem to be a lot more NPC's that can join your party. I am a good chaotic fighter. I have loyalty to Jaheria, Minsc and Imoen from useing the in BGII. Haveing Jaheria means I also have to take Khalid(sp?). In BGII he is Khalid is dead does he have an unavoidable death in BGI or will he be alive at the end ? If he does die wo should I replace him with. I also have one more spare NPC slot I need a Mage or Cleric I was thinking maybe Quayle as I take Aerie in BGII. What should I do ?

He doesn't die in bg1.

Quayle is an excellent character, just make sure you can keep him around long enough to level up a few times, also give Yeslick a go, he's one of them best !

------------------

Time is only relevant if you have none !

The only way to separate Khalid from Jaheira is letting him die (or killing him yourself, i dunno if Jaheira would note that

). Same goes for Minsc and Dynaheir.
For a good aligned party, i would take these NPCs:
Khalid
Kivan
Minsc
Dynaheir
Imoen
Jaheira

Replace one of them with the character youre playing (for example, remove jaheira if youre playing cleric, etc). You could also take off minsc (kivan is so good with a bow) and add more magic to your party (branwen for cleric, edwin for mage (evil but hes the best

)) I like those cause theyre good and cause you can take them early in the game, which is important for developing them, cause when they level up you´ll choose which proficiencies you wanna improve.

Javi you probably know this but you can also separate the pairs (Minsc/Dynaheir, Jaheira/Khalid, Skie/Eldoth) by going into a house that you won't enter again, leaving the unwanted party member in that house by himself, and then removing him/her from the party. Just make sure you don't enter that house again!

Right Melusine

Once i dropped Montaron in Nashkell, but not in a house, simply i sent him far from the party and then dropped him and abandoned the map. It was a stupid thing to do, cause later when i went back to nashkell i couldnt save cause montaron was still looking for me. I had to kill the poor guy...

And yeah, i forgot that pair (eldoth/skie) and another one, Montaron/xzar.

what the heck is wrong with me? i have been thru bg1...well, this is my 5th time. doing the 4 and 5 time to play all the npcs i missed before. it makes me crazy, i am almost done with durlag's tower and still haven't a clue where Skie is, or Eldoth for that matter. i only found out there was a Skie on the 4 time. *lol*
oh well, with the Throne of Bhaal coming out soon, i don't have the time to go back thru (still gotta do bg2 to prepare for the ep, ya know

).

::sighs:: o well

V***V

Greadius · 05-13-2001, 08:26 PM

I did the Eldroth thing my first time through.. not that he or Skie are useful or good characters (Skie has to be the 7th or 8th female thief in that game)... but she does have the best of the female portraits in my opinion. It is the one I used in BG2 for my multiplayer group.

I had to use that same unfortunate tactic to get rid of Khalid... I don't know what made the poor fool think he could charge an tower of gnolls unarmed but he paid the price

Sir Taliesin · 05-17-2001, 12:17 PM

Yeah Khalid isn't a very smart fellow is he!

If they take my gun can I still use my Claymore?
