[QUOTE="DarkCrisis, post: 9144538, member: 1788"] I usually always played "good". I also almost always played something melee because the lack of turn based combat and the enemies always preferring to go after YOU made playing a D4 HD Wizard a sad state of affairs. Luckily with SIX total slots your PC could be whatever while also having your faves in the party. Canon-ish the Bhaal Spawn was a Human Fighter named Abdel Adrian. People who haven't played 1 and 2, please notice the sheet amount of Companions and most had some interesting storylines and quests. Anyways, here is a link to an overview with a list of Companions to jog your memory: [URL unfurl="true"]https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Companions#Baldur's_Gate_companions[/URL] Jaheira. Her husband lived only long enough until I found a replacement. Nice to know his death is canon in BG2. Minsc. His "Witch" also only lived long enough to be replaced. Also, nice to know her death is canon in BG2. Imoen. She's a thief and your sister. Of course, she always has a spot. Yeah better Thieves existed but she's family. "Heya! It's me, Imoen!" Edwin. A powerful mage with a jerky attitude. What's not to like? Viconia. My drow cleric and future wife (in BG2). Had to thread the needle to keep Ed and Vic from leaving the group but I made it work. BG2: [URL unfurl="true"]https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Companions#Baldur's_Gate_II_companions[/URL] Again, Jaheira, Minsc, and Viconia. Your old battle buddies. The last 2 slots are a bit more rotating as characters come and go. Hexxat the thief for a bit. Imoen when she comes back into play. Aerie and Neera. Sarevok when he pops back up. Mazzy is great. Over all I dont always stick with my "iconics" (except for Minsc) but if I'm in a real "story mode" mind when I (re)play them it's something like above. [/QUOTE]
