Seeking advice for an old game...

[Jarulf]

I will get a new computer soon so that I can play games again (I hate this pentium 133 with win 95 :) ) and two things to play would be Planescape and reply BG2 (since you have been talking so much here).

Just wanting a few sugestions. for BG2, I will basically try out an evil party. So obvious companions are:

Viconia (had her last time, but so what, can get romance)
Edwin
Korgan

And later Sarevok of course.

So, the question is. What should I be and what should I have until I get Sarvok?

I will probably keep Minsc arround until Edwin and he fight it out if possible. If I recall correctly, Arie and Korgan had some talking although it might not turn "ugly" but he teased her if I recalled correctly.

I would like to try out Mazzy since I never used her last time, but she is good. I also need a Thief, either myself or I will go with Jan. So:

Me
Viconia
Edwin
Korgan
Jan
Rotate depending on quest, Minsc and Arie for a while perhaps.

I like Jaheira though, should I bring her as the sixth member when leaving town?

And if my own character is not a thief (if he is, I will skip Jan and use Mazzy or Jaheira for sure), what should it be based on the chars about? What do I need? I don't want to be a fighter really again.




Next, Planescap. For once I have decided to play it without reading any guide in advance or geting any information about the plot. That is, basically play it unknowing about anything to happen. I normally don't do that :)

Anyone have some general tips though (please NO story or plot spoilers). I read some on character generation and it seemed WIS was VERY important and also some for INT. Correct? I never understood if you picked class (like fighter, mage and so on) or got it as you played. Seems you should change mid game, or? In any case, sugestion for good class to pick if that is possible?

Some general advice (that doesn't tell spoilers)? So that I can enjoy it as much as possible.
