Ah, the quest with Garrick one of the few things I actually remember from when I attempted to play BG1 years ago. Not that I could never really get myself to actually finish it because I couldn't stand it mechanically.

Now my original party pick would've been Imoen, Rose, Kivan, Gavin, and Will. But then I realized that is an incredibly squishy party with no real tank. So let's switch out Rose for Shar-Teel for the time being. So my final pick is
Imoen
Shar-Teel
Kivan
Gavin
Will Scarlet
Also keep the Wolf.

Probably an poorly balanced party but then I've always been terrible at gaming the system so to speak.

I want to see this too.

I'm not really sure that I want to know what will happen with the romance so...

1.Kivan needs to grow a pair

2.Yes for the warrior woman lovin, but dump her for Minsc as soon as you can

3.Get back to Beregost or Nashkel ASAP

All the girls we have access to are in the party save Jaheira, and she brings Khalid with her. You're gonna have to wait until we make it to Nashkel for another girl, I expect.

If I recall correctly there aren't any in Nashkel, only guys.

What do you have against UNGODLY AWFUL poetry? Also, does effortlessly imposing her will upon EVERY NPC you, the protagonist, speak to, really make her a Mary Sue? I mean, just because you're the next lord of murder doesn't mean there isn't someone awesomer out there, you know.

(gently caress Chloe, never go near her. Though to be fair she isn't awfully powerful mechanically. 25 dex means 2 points better AC than 18, so it's pretty much just more fluff about how amazing she is.)

I never got around to BG2. Who is Chloe?

Replace Tiax with Ajantis, because if he's a paladin, then he should get lay on hands if I'm remembering correctly, effectivley adding one more cleric to the party. Unless cavaliers don't get paladin spells...

That Thunder hammer smith guy in beregost can make some good armor out of the shells.

Well switching genders is just a 1% chance. And a 1% chance in a game this long is practically a certainty.

What would happen to current romance, as with Shar-teel, if you changed genders? Would they just be put on hold until you change again or what?

I don't know. Many if not most clerics in DnD never actually act like priests. You wouldn't know Viconia was a cleric if it didn't say so on her character screen, and I think the same goes for Finch and Quayle. Don't remember Gavin, Branwen, or Yeslick well enough to say. Looking ahead to BG2, Anomen does a reasonable job of it at least.

Most people don't want theological arguments in their High Fantasy game, and that generally reflects onto the characters in the game.

I'm going to add Shar-Teel to the party while they are in the Jovial Juggler. I'll wait long enough for her to trigger 1 or 2 lovetalks, and add them to the update. Then we'll form our actual party and hit the road. Whenever we get back to the Jovial Juggler to replace party members or rest as we're passing through, I'll temporarily add her to the party again to see if there are any new lovetalks.

Sounds good...

Nevermind. Dynaheir is not a romance option. You need a Wisdom of at least 10 to qualify for the romance, and our hero has a wisdom of 3. Our hero's Chaotic Neutral alignment also fails to meet criteria.

We should definitely keep Minsc, Dynaheir, and Edwin in the same party, and that means rescuing Dynaheir. The only reason to keep Shar-Teel around is to advance her romance, and we need Viconia's rep penalty to keep her interested in us, so if we have Shar-Teel, we need to keep Viconia too. Imoen's got an important game function...opening chests and stealing people's poo poo...so that leaves Branwen. I like her, but we can see her again later.

We don't need Viconia with us at all times. I'm fairly sure that we can send her back to the inn with no problem.

Also E. I'm going to vote for Imoen from now on just to see if she does get sent away for awhile.
