Okay, so having decided to do an evil runthrough as I never really did that in the original BG my blackguard met Monty & Xzar on the road outside Candlekeep and decided to go straight south with them to Nashkel, missing out on the Friendly Arm Inn for the time being for a variety of reasons.
I always intended on picking up Dorn and having a part of Charname, Monty, Xzar, Kagain, Dorn & Tiax. But having cleaned out the mines and heading back up to the FAI to deal with the bandits, Dorn is no-where to be seen. Have I lost out on the opportunity to pick him up?
If so, I reckon this is another hideous oversight on OH's part. What made the BG series so pioneering was it's place among the first RPGs to open up the world and push the non-linear format. For the 'enhanced' edition to railroad you into doing things in the 'canon' order if you want to enjoy the new content is just retarded.
