I decided to pick the game back up and play through again. I'm actually playing through with two game (Good Sorcerer is one, Cavalier is another). I pretty much know what composition I want for the sorcerer (Me, Aerie, Anomen, Yoshimo-->Imoen, Minsc, Keldorn (mainly because I've never used him yet)).
However, with the Cavalier, I am a little torn. Current composition: Me, Aerie, Nalia-->Imoen, Yoshimo (kept only because Nalia couldn't pick a lock if it opened itself), Anomen, Minsc Once I get upgrade thieving items (Ring of Lock Picks especially), I plan to boot out Yoshimo (probably use that opportunity to pick up Valygar to open the sphere, which gives me access to the Ring of Danger Sense; this will allow Nalia to do the thieving work until I get Imoen back). However, I am torn with who I should replace Yoshimo with, and am thinking of ditching Minsc as well (other than my Neutral Berserker/Cleric, he has remained with every party I have played until the end). I like Minsc, but have never played with either Mazzy or Valygar (usually boot him out after opening the sphere). Thus, I have two slots, and three characters (I don't want Keldorn simply because I am playing a paladin myself, and have already devoted 2 slots to two-handed swords and 2 slots to two-handed style). So, should I keep Minsc and take either Mazzy or Valygar (and if so, which one?), or should I drop Minsc and take both Mazzy and Valygar? Thanks in advance for responses to this post!

I wont spoil anything, but, Mazzy and Valygar develop a special relationship in the game. Quite entertaining to watch.

I would recommend giving Mazzy a try. She can be a very good archer or a very good tank depending on how you want to use her, although to be a effective as a melee fighter she does need a strength belt/girdle.

However, this still leaves the question of whether to go with Minsc or Valygar. Minsc is a better tank, but Valygar has backstabbing (and Anomen can be a solid enough tank once you get the Gauntlets of Dexterity).

valygar is a great tank too. give him the celestial fury in his main hand, and his family blade in the other and he tears everything to shreads.
