Hi all,
My 2nd time through BG2 and I am playing a lawful evil female
sorceress (human). My character is loosely based on Steel Brightblade
from Dragons of Summer Flame. To summarize, he is quested to protect
a good wizard, though ultimately his goals are for the greater evil.
He is much more honourable than evil, personally, but he serves the
Dark Queen unwaveringly.
To that end, I don't want a bunch of hooligans in my group. Law and
order are more important than good or evil, so long as good is not
taken to the extremes.
There is not much to pick from for evil NPC's in the game as it is,
let alone those who are lawful and honourable enough for my tastes.
I am a sorceress so I have the mage end covered; I don't need Edwin.
I think Viconia will make a fine cleric.
So I need warriors and thieves, and I want a romance option other than
Anomen, who is making me ill presently but at least he's currently a
lawful neutral warrior with some disdain for the weak and the poor who
are too lazy to pull themselves up.
The warrior choices:
As evil warriors go, Korgan is useless for my ends: my staunchly
lawful character would not tolerate him.
Mazzy and Keldorn are right out at the opposite end of the spectrum.
Minsc is a nut job and so good he also makes me ill, but I keep him
presently as he's the only real pointman I have right at the start, so
he is a useful tool for the time being.
Anomen is also warrior like and he does ok, but he eventually becomes
knighted or otherwise useless to a law & evil freak, so he's out in
the long run.
I like Jaheira because she is level headed and stable, and although
she is somewhat "good" for my tastes, she seems overall probably the
best choice.
Most of all the warriors in the game, I like Valygar. He best fits
the bill because of his temperment. Despite being good he's not
overly pious about it, and he is a great fighter. Also he goes nicely
with my stronghold quest.
Thieves:
I don't like Nalia because she is too good and bleeding heart, she
makes me ill, though I am presently using her.
I am trying out Jan Jansen presently but I don't really like him, he
seems too erratic and disrespectful of authority.
The Yoshimo / Imoen combination is a consideration as a thief. I
really like Yoshimo, but not Imoen because her thief skills are
middling and I don't need another mage.
Can anyone with mod experience make a suggestion?
Is there a decent thief mod out there for me? What about a Valygar
romance? That would be interesting ...
Any ideas welcomed, and thanks in advance ....
