I'll come out and admit it, there are certain NPC's i just can't play without, or some duos i have a really hard time breaking.
1.) Alora
I always clua console in Alora and change her to level 1 in candlekeep. I just can't play without her and even when i play a rogue myself, she has to be in my party. Between her 19 dexterity, halfling race and way too powerful rabbits foot, i can't not have her in my party. No other character have as good thieving skills as she does, throw in the + damage from luck and -2 AC from her rabbits foot and she is too good. She blows every other rogue out of the water.
Skie shoots an arrow = 1-6 damage
Alora shoots an arrow = 3-6 damage
Alora can't deal less than 3 damage while using a bow, with the 19 dexterity she is an incredible archer.
2.) Kagain
I'm really trying to break my habit of using Kagain as my main tank, but with the gauntlets of dexterity and his 19/20 constitution, i just can't see someone else doing his job. Highest HP in the entire game, best saving throws in the entire game, throw onto him the fullplate from Beregost, Gauntlets of Dexterity, Large Shield +1 and one of the many rings of protection and you have him on -6 AC.
Right from the start (an hour into the game) you can sit with a dwarf warrior that has 19/20 CON, shorty saves and -6 AC! He is a beast and could easily solo the game. People will complain about his Strength but with **** in axes he'll still deal a ton of damage and if you feel like really breaking your game you can throw the Big-Fisted belt onto him and you have created a monster.
19 STR
18 DEX
19/20 CON
Shorty saving throws
High Mastery in axes
You get him really early
3.) Jaheira and Khalid
I really like both of them but it's a bit tiresome to always have two spots taken by a duo, so i have to let one of them go. This for some reason is very hard for me to do as i know what happens in BG2 and it doesn't really make sense from a RP viewpoint to leave Khalid and then find him in BG2 like you do. I have tried to come up with a sensible reason like him having to go on another assignment for the harpers and after he is done he'll meet up with you right after Sarevok and before you get captured. It still doesn't feel right and i have a hard time taking Jaheira without Khalid, or the other way around. I miss being 10 years old (25 now) and just sending one of them into a house and not letting it bother or cross my mind again.
------------------------------------------------------
I'm right now trying to start up a new no-reload game and would like to keep Jaheira so i can give her some tomes and import her with me to BG2. But the problem is that i can't really let go of Khalid, Alora HAS to be in my party and i'll get all OCD over leaving Kagain in Beregost. I don't know what to do and it's soooo frustrating!
