Who's in YOUR party?

Remove all ads!

Just a general discussion idea.

Not looking for the best combos in the world or anything, I'm just curious as to who is in your party, as currently constructed.

 

I just finished SoA yesterday with a dwarven - one of the tdd fighter-kits
I did it just so I´d get the bonuses from hell before I started ToB. I plan to take an Evil party, as my dwarf is evil and took the evil path in hell (for the first time in my life). So I´ll probably take Edwin, Viccy and Sarevok (he´s evil IIRC). And just go with those four.

I haven´t really finished ToB, so please let me know if you think I´ll need more people.

 

My current party consists of:
~ Korgan
~ Imoen (the second time I took her in - I am quite pleased by her performance but next time I will keep Jan Jansen nonetheless)
~ Aerie (its a pain to keep Korgan out of her hair, as always it pays to have her around)
~ Keldorn
~ Mazzy (reliable fighter, second time I let her join, but probably wont do it again)
~ and my NE human Jester (fills in where there are shortcomings: Imoens pickpocketing, adds to the arcane department, supports Keldorn during heavy meele, babysitts Imoen & Aerie while the tanks are out slicing the really tough guys and when I feel like it he sends half of the enemies to limbo with his song).

This fighter-heavy party is great. I finished SoA with it and took them over to ToB.
Here I replaced Mazzy with Sarevok.

It depends on my PC's alignment. If I play a goody-goody, I will take Aerie, Keldorn, Imoen and Sarevok (with Ascension). My PC is either a Blade or Sorcerer.

If I play an evil character, I tend to solo (reliance upon others is weakness for the strong, eh ), or start a multiplay session with 3 PC (Assassin, Blade and Necromancer - tweak the Necromancer kit a bit so he is more powerful), and take Sarevok along when I get to him (the other evil NPC are just not evil enough IMO).

 

My protagonist is usually a sorcerer, but I sometimes choose thief or ranger too (shame that there isn't sorcerer/thief multiclass). Since I no longer even try different party combinations, my other party always consists of...

• Imoen. Thief and a wizard in the same package.
• Aerie. A bag of spells.
• Viconia. Good cleric, although I'm now testing how she would do as a sorcerer (LG at that ).
• Minsc. Flesh-barrier.
• Jaheira. Another flesh-barrier; good with iron-skins.

 

Myself as a Monk
Minsc
Jaheira
Aerie
Viconia
Imoen

Imoen since she's my sis. Minsc because I like someone wielding two-handed swords and I have a very profound disliking of Keldorn character wise and wouldn't be able to keep him in my party because of roleplaying issues (I could never have him to let his family behind). I still haven't decided who I'll romance so I took all three of them along.

I like my Monk but maybe I'm going to restart the game just to change to Shapeshifter, I really love the idea of fighting in an alternate form since I tried the Shifter class of NWN.

I haven't decided yet if I'm going to drop Minsc for Sarevok or not.

 

When I last played through I had:
Barbarian PC
Minsc
Keldorn
Jaheira
Aerie
Imoen

And I replaced Jaheira with Sarevok.

 

Me (Skald)
Sarevok
Korgan
Viconia
Jan
Tashia

Currently the only people killing things are the two tanks with song support, and the summons (Mordy Sword, skeleton warrior, Tashia's cat, improved Kitthix). Jan just does nothing - he's only there for the traps and locks.

 

I just finished TOB and SOA with (Protagonist) Swaxhbuckler, Immoin, Saravoc, and Viconia. Had a little trouble with the last battle, but that was about it. Sorry if I spelled there names wrong, I am terrible with names.

 

My current run is a playtest for Delainy, a werewolf bard. Party is myself (half-orc F/T), Keldorn, Minsc, Anomen, Imoen, Nalia, and Delainy.

 

My latest party is:

Me- Human Berserker7/mage x
Anomen
Jaheira
Imoen
Edwin
Aerie

This is the most ridiculous party I've ever played with. All can cast spells, 5/6 of us can cast Stoneskin, and my 3 tanks are dual-wielding with GM. It's quite ridiculous. For TOB both Me and Anomen are going to undergo some SK alterations so we'll be 12th level fighters and Imoen will be a 15th level thief.

 

Hey CamDawg is Delainy a new NPC you're working on at the moment? If so when will it be ready and where can we get our hands on it?

 

Of course I've played lots of different parties, but right at the moment, it is:

• Main character (Neutral Evil, Elf Assassin)
• Korgan
• Viconia
• Edwin

So, as you can see, an evil party.

 

Me - Fighter/Thief
Edwin
Viconia
Sarevok

 

Me- Paladin: Cavalier
Minsc
Anomen
Airie

We rock the house down! Yaga Shura? Ate her like an oreo biscuit.
Balthazar on the rampage?
No sweat... okay, maybe a little
Hey! No party's perfect y'know!

 

Here's what I have going:

PC = Human Bounty Hunter
Minsc
Jaheira
Anomen
Viconia
Edwin

Little bit o' everything. Edwin is still Edwina, so those banters (which are hysterical) are still going on. Minsc, Jaheira, and Anomen are always in my group. Nalia isn't along only because I am experimenting with Edwin and Viconia is along because it's been a long time since I've included her in a party and I've forgotten what interactions she has in the Underdark.

Last time through (a while ago, been busy with work):
Kensai me
Jaheira
Imoen
Tashia
Redeemed Sarevok
Anomen

 

My current run-through is the alpha test of Kitanya, so this party will look a little wierd, since I'm trying to max the dialogue testing.

Male Elf Invoker (PC-romancing Kitanya)
Kitanya
Minsc
Anomen
Aerie
Keldorn

 

@Thyorna
Delainy/Durlyle is a romancable werewolf bard NPC on which I'm working with Bri, a writer. (S)he's based on the character from werewolf island at the end of BG1 TotSC (if the player was female, they met Delainy; females met Durlyle). We're at an alpha playtest, though it's very bug-free if I say so myself. Thanks for posting the link, Sparhawk. We also have Delainy forums where you can get some previews of banters/lovetalks or sign up as a playtester.

My party in my current game (BP-BGT-NeJ) consists of:

Keldorn - As a dual-wielder (long/bastard swords) which I don't think is a very popular use for him, tank

Anomen - Flail of the Ages + shield, to change to dual-wielder with flail/hammer when I get proficiency points for it. Tank, primary cleric

Minsc - Two-handed sword/Halberd, tank

Assasin, halfling (PC) - Katanas. Backstabbing, scouting

Nalia - Short bows. Primary mage, offensive spells.

Aerie - Sling/shield. Secondary cleric, secondary mage (summoning, utility spells)
