| | | Viconia
Today when I was playing BG1, Viconia wouldn't join my party. She thanks me for killing that dude that was after her, says that our paths may meet again(reference to BG2?), then leaves.
My party currently consists of me(TN, Human, Fighter) and Imoen. |

| | | Ah, your charisma must be too low. Many NPC's will not join your party if they have a "negative reaction" to you. In BG1, try to always have the PC with the highest charisma talk to NPC's.

I think my current PC has a Chr of 7. I tried having Imoen talk to Viconia, but Viconia did the same as when I had my PC talk to her.  |

| | | NPC reactions are random numbers generated by the game whenever any party member speaks to an NPC. They're adjusted by the charisma bonus/penalty. I've noticed that NPC reactions are used far more often in BG1 than in BG2, which is why it's important to get the party member with the highest charisma to speak the first time to any NPC. In Viconia's case, you need to make sure she approaches Imoen to ask for help.
