    I finally, finally, finally beat BG2.. my party was over 160 days, and still I think my own character was the only one to hit the cap. Quite odd, considering I kept the same lineup pretty much all through the game. Anyway, all of a sudden, I feel a sudden urge to play the game all over again.. can't say I've felt that before! Anyway, the best part of BG2, imo, is the characters and the way you can choose your path, and since I played through the game with the classic chaotic-good, 6 people party, and took all the obvious paths, this time around I'm thinking maybe 2 or 3 NPC's, and everyone more or less eeevil. Or well, not necessarily evil, but the party should, in general be evil. I want to take Bodhis offer instead of the Shadow thieves' and so forth.

    Any suggestions for my own characters and the npcs? I'm thinking Korgan and Mazzy (I hear they get along!), which would mean either a mage or a druid for my own character, or possibly adding a third character (edwin, viconia?).. I'm not sure yet, I want to prepare this game well, coz I feel that my old character and party was sort of dull.

    Sounds like a cool idea, but I rather try my luck at the good side cause I can never seem to get Romance with Jaheira to work. I heard it was the most complicated, I just love challenges. But evil is also fun cause you'll just have way more people to slaughter. God those fatso Amnish soldiers look so fun to kill. And it would be cool if you barged into the Cowled Wizards base @ govt district and slaughtered all of em. Wouldn't that be a challenge.

    If you are really thinking of doing the game with an evil party, or mostly evil, I do not think that Mazzy will stay with you. She is Lawful Good. Edwin, Viconia,Korgan, and Jan would be a well rounded evil party.

    Mazzy'll stay. She doesn't have any serious fights with Edwin or Viconia, and she actually forms a good friendship with Korgan.

    The ones you won't be able to keep in the evil party are Minsc, Aerie, and Keldorn. They will all come to blows in that party. Valygar may also, but it's rare.

    Mazzy won't stay if you side with Bodhi.

    Edit/

    Idoru: I think it will be alright then, I'm not sure though.

    damn.. I really wanted to use mazzy. I had this wicked plan to use korgan, jan, mazzy, and then my own character, who'd be a dwarf or something - all small folks! :)

    What if you pick up mazzy AFTER you've teamed with bodhi?

    Oh, that's right, she won't side with Bodhi. Feh. She won't fight with any of the other NPC's, though, and she won't leave the group if your charisma is high.

    You should be ok if you remove her from the group, go join Bodhi, and then add her again. However, don't let your reputation be too low when you remove her, or she'll leave forever! Go donate a lot at a temple, then send her back to Trademeet, join Bodhi, and come innocently back to ask her for her help again. You should be cool. (-:

    Do it !! Evil NPC are really more interresting than the good one...

    Korgan and Jan are really fun to have...The funniest NPC in the game.
    Korgan always love Jan stories...
    Edwin can be really fun...especially after you done the "Nether scroll" quest...
    Viconia and Edwin can be funny since Edwin think He can please any woman with his rodent...Interresting discussion with Viconia.
