Coming from a deep Final Fantasy background, I always seem to get a little scared when I'm forced to give someone the boot. Well, the time has finally arrived.
I'm working on the Unseeing eye quest for the temple of Helm, and I've run into mr. goody goody paladin (ok ok INQUISITOR) Keldorn. I got a pretty good thing going with myself (a dual wielding blade), minsc (duh), Valygar Corthala (dual wielding Katanas, one his family sword), Yoshimo (a capable a thief as any, what can I say, he's grown on me *for now*), Jaheira, and Aerie. (which I are essentially my spell tossin' tag-team, and Jaheira is a rather potent melee force in a pinch too). Do I need Keldorn? I mean, I can turn him down. Just curious on opinions.

Well, it's up to you, but Carsomyr is the best sword in the game. And only a paladin can wield it.

That's a judgement call personally I didn't care much for Valygar. But anyone you drop can pick them back up later.

It is always difficult in BG2 to decide who should be in the party, because all NPCs have very bright personalities and the question To Drop Or Not To Drop becomes the most hard to answer.
I like Valygar really much, and I can tell tales about his advantages till next morning... BUT I still think he is not much a fighter, *sigh* he is weak in combat. As to Keldorn... well, he is wonderful addition to any party, IMO [This message has been edited by Tananda (edited 06-25-2001).] |

It's really hard to choose what party composition you will stick with. I rather liked the Valygar concept. After all, he nixed 2 cowled wizards on his own! Anybody who does that can't be all bad.
If you give him a set of first rate equipment, he becomes a powerful force. He can use Malakar, Celestial Fury, or his Family sword. He has decent HP, a good THAC0, and can backstab (with the patch). That makes him a great mage killer. If you use his family weapon, he works as well as a kind of assassin - doing "poison" damage. Try out his katana on Trolls, and you'll be pleasantly surprised to see them die permanently. He's nasty to Illithids too. As a frontline fighter or a tank, he won't match a full blown fighter, paladin or regular ranger. But he makes a great scout and is most useful in a fight. On the other hand Keldorn is a nifty character also. You just can't lose with either one. |
