Kill Dyanheir, turn Edwin into a girl, Minsc has a new witch to protect. Everybody wins!




Seriously, though... 4. I never played the first Baldur's Gate, but I'm willing to bet that the bickering will be glorious.

How can you go wrong with a three mage party? Plus, more options for later yadda yadda.

I never liked Edwin anyway. Wait, choice 1 lets us say precisely those words to Edwin's face?

Yeah: get rid of the stuck-up prig, and keep the awesome ranger. Did you see how many things Minsc was gibbing? It's like having Shar-Teel back in the party, only with "Go for the eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes!" replacing "... all strength and grace, if little of pleasantness." Win-win.

They changed Dynaheir to a Sorcerer? Okay, now that's a change I dig. My install didn't do that, though... maybe I should go do that.

3 - pit fight

We don't strictly need either of them, much less both, and it could be fun, so.


Flinds are apparently slightly smarter and stronger cousins of the gnolls. In BG2 stats (which I guess this mod uses as well) a gnoll has 15 HP, AC 5, 1 ApR and 19 THAC0, while a flind has 19 HP, AC 4, 2 ApR and 15 THAC0. (I'm trying to figure out if I should put :eng101: or :goonsay: here.)


Oh, and you seem to have a broken image under this line:

There's a reason why people like Minsc, and it's not only because he's funny (that's just a part of it). It's also because he's a walking murder machine, and we already have a magic murder machine, so the choice is clear...

...4 because I never did it and I want to see how it turns out. I doubt they actually go for each others' throats so it should be fun just to see the bickering.

In my current playthrough, inspired by this thread of course, I ended up going with 4, and to be fair, it has been quite amusing.

Still, I always was curious who'd win the duel, so....3. PIT FIGHT!







But, if you haven't seen it already, I'd totally recommend 4.

I think the bickering would be far more amusing from a story standpoint then any of the other options. That and you just payed 400 gold for Edwin, it would be a sunt invest to potentialy lose him here. 4

4. I want to see if the modders added any more bickering with the extra inter-party banter stuff.

Question: I don't really know how BGT works, so would Edwin still be around in BG2 if you killed him/he left the party here?

Olive Branch

There is no wealth like knowledge, no poverty like ignorance.

4. Inter-party bickering and strife? That hasn't been working against us at all, no sir! And this certainly won't cause issues now!

(Besides this delays the inevitable battle the three will have, and why not make a movie of it when one of them finally snaps on, say, the Cloakwood Forest?)

I guess so, seeing as one of the responses to meeting him in Athkatla is "Weren't you dead?"

Aye, I never took Dynaheir over Edwin. I always killed off Dynaheir so that I could get Minsc AND Edwin in the same party. I didn't even know you could have all 3, unless that was added in a mod?

I know that, I just don't know if BG Trilogy (BGT) does anything to change that or not. It links both games together into one and can therefore probably recall some data from BG1. Just depends on whether the modders thought about it or not.

But not that much better, and not worth putting up with him. If Dynaheir is a sorceress in this mod, I'd definitely take her over Edwin.

4. We need to fill the Jovial Juggler, after all.

However, we should have Dynaheir and Edwin mind-duel (save before the choice and show the pit fight, too) to get it out of their systems.

I could totally do this. Ok, I will. If you do not choose for them to duel to the death, I will give an alternate-reality vision update and show their fight anyway.

I'd vote for option 2, but I think Minsc alone would obliterate our whole party, so I'm going with option 4.

Edwin is just too sarcastic for us to let go. He's a goldmine of spiteful remarks!
