Playing a mostly good (Jaheira and early Anomen excluded) run through and just can't decide who to leave out. Although I played the original BG when it was released, this is my first BG2 playthrough and trying not to look up much. Only in Chapter 2, although closing out a lot of quests before advancing.
Party that I'm currently sold on:
Main - Dwarven Fighter/Cleric from BG1, strong, wise and hardy, but no dex and mistake of spec in shields (working on changing that).
Keldorn
Nalia (replaced by Imoen eventually due to space constraints)
Members I think I'd probably like to keep:
Anomen (especially now that he's good and with increased wisdom)
Jaheira (messed up and gave her two handed instead of two weapon with first prof, but still feel loyal to her since she's been there since the beginning.
I was originally going to go with Rasaad as the sixth since I like the idea of a monk and used to play PnP with that class, but then I found Mazzy and liked her as well (although I'll work on setting her up to dual short swords and use her bow since she already specialized in short swords). Then there's also Neera, who I romanced in BGEE. Another consideration is that I'd on occassion like to pick up people for just the quest they are initially associated with (Valygar, others?). I don't want to weaken an end game character by having them miss out on exp though.
So conflicted and mainly venting frustration, but opinions are also welcome. Ha.
