Keldorn or Korgan?

Remove all ads!

Your thoughts on which one to use? My party doesn't really have an alignment that is either "good or evil".:

Minsc = (NG)
Yoshimo = (N)
Aerie = (LG)
Haer Dalis' (CN) Trying to get the fight over Aerie started. How?)
Korgan = (CE) or Keldorn = (LG)
Myself (fighter/thief if that matters) [whatever alignment that will mater?]

So far Aerie and Korgan haven't bothered each other yet so I'm not sure how that will play out if I keep Korgan.
I've never been through the end with any of them except Minsc so I'm trying to get through with them if I can.
Next I'll try with Jan Jansen

 

Korgan would be my choice.
Simple because he is a beast of a Tank.
And give the right "Tools" he becomes unstoppable.

 

Korgan is a good fighter, but not much more. Minsc does the rage and fighter thing as well. Keldorn is the best anti-mage NPC in the game.

Powergame considerations aside, just pick one based on whose banter you want to hear. Or pick one up for a while, do his quest, then swap him out for the other one.

 

Neither. Take Mazzy. Although Mazzy with Korgan is good ... but then Minsc with just about everyone is good (especially Edwin if they don't fight).

 

Keldorn is a better version of Minsc. Take Keldorn and Korgan, dump Minsc.

Or....

Dump Minsc, take Mazzy and Korgan like T2 said. They are very entertaining when in the same party.

 

Nope. I haven't come across anyone who's banter I have any issues with

You can have them both in the same party without one of them actually attacking the other or leaving the party?

OMG Mazzy I am SOO sorry little one. I forgot you! Your my 3rd favorite NPC and I FORGOT you. Please forgive me....??

Do Boo & Lilacor count as favorite NPCs?

 

I think of the two in terms of OP I would say take Keldorn. Dispel magic is not just powerful it is a life saver. You can use it to take away enemy protections and to save your party members from certain death (such as when they are held). True sight is also fantastic and having it so quickly on tap is amazing.

Korgan is a fine beat stick but that is all he is. Offensively he is nastier but he will not bring anything but slightly better destructive power due to an extra half attack over keldorn (and a few extra points of damage). His rage will give some nice immunities but it is so personal that he does not bring as much to the party.

However Korgan is hilarious if you have Mazzy. On the other hand he will end up killing some good characters in your party if you have them.

 

I just can't keep Keldorn past his quest. If I'm evil I don't want him and if I'm good I can't tell him to leanve his family....

 

That's the same problem I'm having. I love the guy but so does his family. Family always comes first.

Is there something you do that makes Keldorn's quest start? If so how can I avoid it?


I'm seeing a lot of love for Keldorn. Is the Inquisitor you kit of choice? Or is it Cavalier or Undead Hunter?

 

Inquisitor, no question. The true sight is great in that I generally don't have many true sights memorised to dispel every mislead or projected image that most mages summon. And the dispel is great for dispelling fear, stun, hold, whatever on your party members or getting rid of invisibility, the flame/cold shield, PfMW and what not.

On the whole, it makes the fights with mages and liches much quicker, in a way that's definitely noticeable when you don't have an inquisitor in your party. I still play the other kits, but it's mostly for novelty value.

 

I like his voice set. Plus I'm usually playing a good character so he fits.

You have to avoid walking into the government district with him in the party. When you go into the gov district with him he will say that you should go see his family in the district. As far as I know it will never come up so long as you don't go there with him in the party.

 

Like everyone else said, Inquisitors are a god among mortals. Mages are deadly at the higher levels and with one of those bad boys in your party they might as well be goblins for all the good they will do against you.

 

....and if you are Neutral?

Depends. Inquisitor is the most useful. UH is great when dealing with Bohdi's group and my personal fav. Cav is great versus the Wyrms and Demons, also fun to play. No missle weapons leads to "Charge!" over and over.

 

Timid or Bloom County?

 

I'd say that you should take Keldorn first until he leaves the party for the sake of his family. Then go back and take Korgan or Mazzy.
Don't rush the quest by excessive sleeping, but do try to complete the quest as quickly as possible so you can tailor Korgan's level ups to your liking.
Doing it this way gives you the best of both worlds.
