That doesn't alter the fact that by the time you end up in SH Nalia is almost guaranteed to be a better mage than Imoen.

As for role-playing, there are many reasons why finding and reuniting with Imoen may not fit in with the protagonists plans. If, for example, the protagonist is a self-centred warrior type then keeping in with the wealthy landowner may well be far more appealing than re-uniting with the annoying brat you were forced to grow up with. Or if Imoen died in Baldur's Gate, then you may well decide that the woman you meet in Chateau Irenicus is a fak, she looks nothing like the Imoen you knew for strarters, as well as being a differen class etc..

However, to reiterate, the original post was to correct false information about Imoen being a 'much better mage' when in fact she's inferior.

I also as it happens disagree about archery being useless in BG2. It certainly isn't as dominant as it was in BG1, but having an archer or two at the back is far better than everyone trying to bundle through a doorway at the same time. They are also useful when fighting trolls, nice to have someone firing acid arrows to finish the blighters off. Dispelling arrows also can be very handy at times.
