Ahahahahaha, I was testing something and started a new Shadows of Amn game, going through a ton of cutscenes. When I finally got control of my character and started wandering around Irenicus' dungeon, I discovered something horrible.

My friends, we're going to have to go into :siren: CODE RED FURRY ALERT :siren: when we get there. Irenicus really is a disgusting bastard.

Oh god, the modders have gone nuclear :ohdear:

also, whatever else you do I vote we ditch the dumb bard because he seems dumb and annoying.

Since we're waiting on a new page, I might as well ask a question.

If you finish Baldur's Gate with a party of your choosing, do you get that party in the beginning of Shadows of Amn, or do you get the standard party members anyone starting a new game from scratch would get?

Without mods? No. Vanilla SoA assumes a "canonical" party of Imoen, Minsc, Dynaheir, Jaheira, and Khalid. I think the Baldur's Gate Trilogy mod brings whatever your BG1 party was into SoA, though.

 Shar-teel +1
Finch +1
Will Scarlet -3

Alternatively, if it's feasible to remove a single mod from this giant clusterfuck: The mod that ruined Kivan -5

 Personally I'd like to see Imoen die and not get resurrected some time during BG1, just to see how Vorgen deals with her suddenly being alive (and a mage) when BG2 starts :v:

-5 for Shar-Teel.

She's a terrible tank, a drain on our resources, and the romance with her is incredibly creepy. Ditch her, preferably for Kagain or someone else decent.

"Incredibly creepy" you say? We have not even begun to scratch the surface of creepy poo poo that BG modders have done. The Shar-teel stuff is kinda dumb, but nowhere near creepy by BG2-romance-mod standards :gonk:

 My only regret re: Ajantis is that you should've left him dead :colbert:

Something about that goddamn bard just makes me hate him, I don't even know why.

 You absolutely should play the games (nearly) vanilla for your first time. I'd recommend getting BG Trilogy or EasyTutu, since it just updates BG1 to use BG2's version of the engine without changing any of the content. Other than that, the G3 fixpack and maybe some of the convenience stuff in the G3 tweak-pack is perfectly fine.
