Does anyone else make regular use of Level One NPC's? I know I certainly do, since I dislike some of the Bioware NPC's classes (and the fact that there aren't many kitted NPCs!).

So, without ado, I present... my altered NPC's!

Jaheria: Alternatively a straight Druid (or Druid kit, like the Shapeshifter) or a Beastmaster ranger (which seemed appropriate to me at the time, not sure why though...).

Edwin: I've experimented, just for kicks, with mage/xxxx. So far, Conjurer/Fighter is meh, Conjurer/Thief was appropriate with the Thayan fluff, but Conjurer seems to be the best class for Edwin overall.

Korgan: Since I use The Darkest Day, and it has a Pit Fighter kit, I thought it'd be appropriate kit for him. Since most folks probably don't use TDD, I tend to leave him as a Berserker, though Korgan the Barbarian was fun a few times.

Nalia: I just can't see her as a mage, so I change her to Fighter/Thief. To me, it makes more sense almost: she's in the slums, she's a rich white girl, she isn't very tough looking, but if you try to mess with her, she pulls a longsword and goes to town on your sorry posterior.

Jan: I can't see him as a thief, so I turn him to straight Illusionist, and find that he's way more effective that way. He's still the same old Jan we all know and love/hate, but now he's twice as effective!

Anomen: I like him as either a fighter/cleric (since there isn't a way to dual class with Lv. 1 NPC's, it makes him a multi-classed character, which is better IMO, and amusing too) or a straight cleric, though I find he isn't the greatest as a straight cleric.

I could go on and on, but I won't, to save you the time of reading my 1:30 AM ramblings.

Anyone else do this too, or am I just a crazy person?

Ok, so, I've made it to the point where I talk to Aran to go meet Seida. My only dialog option is "I'll be back in a little while" or whatever it is. The walkthrough says Arledrian is meant to show up at some point, but I've been wandering around the city for 2 real-life hours, and nothing is happening. Not really sure what to do now, since I'd dearly love to actually finish this mod someday (last run through I had I didn't finish, thanks to a catastrophic comp. failure that wiped my drive (that was fun)). Thanks for any help you can give.

Ok, so, I fixed that problem by dicking around for two more hours, and then Aran wanted to talk with me. Hmph.

However... I still have an issue, a bigger one at that. So, I beat the game. I defeated Irenicus, and I'm back in the world of the living. I have The Darkest Day installed, so I get the option to go straight to Candlekeep from here, though I refuse, so I can see the wedding between Kova and Kiyone. It then goes to the beginning of the cinematic, with Kiyone being revived by the Mage and Priest. They run through the dialog... and then she falls down and doesn't move or do anything. I waited for ten minutes with no change. Is this a mod-conflict issue... or did something go wrong somewhere along the line? Thanks.

Self explanatory really. Personally, I'm curious as to why everyone seems to prefer sorcerers over wizards for BG2. I've heard a lot of talk about playing sorcerers, and almost none about wizards. Am I the only person that loves wizards for being Batman??

Discuss! Analyze! Flame... wait... nvm. XD

Not too helpful I know, but that's the issue. I'm having some issues with getting them to join up. When I show up to get the Luxley's, it says Andrei is already in the party, and the battle with the mugger and all of their conversation doesn't happen. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? If you need me to post something, just let me know what and how, and I'll be happy to help out.
