She's in Pedvale Forest, on the middle left side of the map. The area is filled with Black Talon Elites so be careful!

Yep, she is cute. It's strange. In BG2 she's pure evil. She sounds innocent in BG1. Anyone played with her? What about her plot? She causes problems with 20 rep?

I've used Viconia. Some people like her, some don't. I never had my reputation up to 20 because of ummm.... certain events. But i doubt she'd like it because she's evily aligned. Because she is a Drow Elf she has a 50% magical resistance, witch is good and bad (i.e. when you try to heal her it doesn' wrok sometimes). She also has a low strength (10 i think) so she can't carry much more than her equipment.
I over all liked playing with her.

When Viconia joins your party you lose 2 rep points because she is a drow. If you have Kivan or Coran (I can't remember which one but I think it is Kivan) they have some great dialog battles.
You can get your rep up to 20 and Viconia grumbles a lot but if your Charisma is high enough then she won't leave. Her magic resistance sucks because she rarely gets the benefits of the Chant, Bless, Defensive harmony, and Heal (lesser and greater) spells. At least you don't have to worry about her getting caught by the very common horror and panic spells throughout the game though. |

You're quite right about her Magic Resistance, though. Still, her resistance to buffing spells doesn't really matter, as it makes more sense to use her as a ranged attacker anyway--and Healing Potions ignore Magic Resistance. In BG2, Magic Resistance only blocks spells that could harm the person.

SixOfSpades,
I was able to keep everyone in my party, including Viconia, through the game without a problem, other than a LOT of bickering. I did have 19 Charisma with the help of Algernon's Cloak and the Tome of Leadership and Influence. Perhaps the catch part is that I didn't always have a 20 rep. during the game. There were several times where I had dropped quite a bit down to 10 or 11 even and perhaps that helped. I almost always had a 20 rep. when going to the stores but quite a bit of the adventuring was with a rep. of 18 or sometimes lower. I haven't been able to get past Chapter 7, and it usually happens in Chapter 5, without Khalid and Jaheira fighting Xzar and Montaron; they are of opposing groups so it makes sense.

AinSage,
I know. That is why my comment contains the word rarely. |

She's evil, but doesn't leave you.
It may be because I was a Paladin back then and might have ocnverted her. Besides, she speaks elvish, and is the only character that does that. It's just so cool to imagine her waving her mace shouting "Lil alurl! For Shar!". If you get a -1 with her in the party she says "Shar looks upon us with favor". I can't recall hearing her complain about 20 Rep actually. Allthough I have heard her complain about the sun plenty of times I like drows. They're a very interesting race, and I think they're the only ones that actually speaks elvish. Common elves don't do that as far as I know. She has a 9 Constitution, yes, but I think she has good dexterity, and if you get her early, you can give her a Missile skill.
