Party Membership is a Democracy, The Weave is Not.

A fledgling vampire? How about a dragon, or some half-kobold druids? Perhaps a spontaneous sex change? Anything that can happen, will happen the results will be beyond entertaining.

Here's how the votes stand right now:
code:
Which dialog option should we choose?

1:- A voice of reason at last.  ....
2:- A deal is a deal is a deal! 
3:- I trust neither of you.     .............
4:- Enough bickering.           ....................
I'll leave voting open for another day or so. This whole voting thing is truly fascinating. I think I love writing up this LP more than just simply playing the game.

I say go with 4 but them do the pit fight in a different save or something, like mentioned earlier.

I actually really like Edwin...but that's more in the second game. I honestly forgot the girl even existed, but that's probably because I've only played the first game twice or so and the second one a million times.

Going back through all the updates, you've spent around 3000 gold on resurrections alone, give or take a couple hundred.

It's been a while, but isn't there some way to store gold somewhere other than your pocket? Is there a bank, or can you give it to Imoen or something? Hell, is there something you can buy that keeps it's value well? You've lost quite a bit of gold on those stupid wild surges, there's gotta be a way to guard against that.

You would think after the first time He would have learned to distribute the money a bit. That way, if you get that roll you only lose a small amount of wealth, rather then a large chunk or all of your gold. That in mind, maybe you should keep your money in easily liquidatable assets. Rather then gold, keep it in gems. They don't get taken from you as easily.

Oh. Vote. Humm... 4. Keep em all, let the Jovial Juggler sort them out.

Nope, gold is a special value that is just there on the character sheet after you pick it up. You can't drop it or anything :(. And nothing I can buy will be worth even a significant fraction of its buy price. Its like I buy something for 100,000 gold and sell it back for maybe 15,000. I'll take my chances with the wild surges.

And yes, the wild surge doesn't destroy 100% of the gold, but more like 75-80%. Just enough to give you hope that you can get it back somehow...

There are wild surges that put gems into my backpack. That happened once during the first or second update. It could happen again! I could get some diamonds or pearls or something.

4, because it'd be nice to have them all available.

Also if I'm remembering this right, something special happens in the BG1NPC mod if you manage to keep both of them in the party for a while. Not saying what it is but it's probably worth taking the pacifist route for that bit alone.

I had the idea of creating a video and editing out all the pauses in order to make a fast and real-time rear end-kicking extravaganza. But I have been unable to find an adequate video editing solution for Ubuntu within the past 3 hours, so I'm giving up and going to bed.

However, I present to you an unedited 4:30 schooling of the party by Minsc as a consolation.
