Seeking advice for an old game...

Re Mazzy: Did you not notice her Grand Mastery in bows? A poor man's Keldorn she is not. Give her a nice little bow and she'll shoot the wings off a fly from fifty yards.

I never found ranged specialists or even ranged attacks in general to be effective at all in BG2. The monsters just move too fast and have too many HP. An ineffective bow, wannabe Paladin abilities, little dialogue, and an annoying personality? No thanks :)

Re Cernd: Note that he also gains a Greater Werewolf form that's a good deal more powerful than his earlier morph.

Even in Greater Werewolf form he still gets shredded rather easily. Plus, Druids just aren't good enough straight up spellcasters in any of the BG games to utilize him effectively in that role.

I didn't even like Imoen all that much. Well, actually, I utterly loathe that stalking brat. But that's another post.

I never understood people's dislike of Imoen. I always liked her from a "kid sister" perspective and she was also a useful character.

Plus, the rather significant role she plays in TOB makes her worth having.


That's my story and I'm sticking to it ;)
