| | | Another factor affecting this is how your party's reputation compares to their ideal choice. |

| | | so all things considered, Bodhi is the way to go then?
you'll get more out of it all in all?
I have Minsk, Jaheira, Viconia, Korgan and Jan in my party, will they all tolerate siding with the vampires?
I assume it's less hassle to kill the Shadow thieves than the vampires since you need magical weapons to kill the vampires? does it result in less XP if I kill the lame thieves rather than the powerful vampires?
thanks, Alexa |

Can't say I've ever measured the experience between the two, but come on--it's not as though you're lacking experience at any point in the game. If you want to maximize each game event, pull out your favorite walkthrough, and just follow it along like a schematic.  You're supposed to have fun!

| | Just side with whatever side you feel your protagonist would do. In the end, I believe siding with Bodhi gives you one cool axe, but that's about it. BTW, it's a good idea to listen to the banter of your NPCs when making big decisions like this. Quote: |

| | | I couldn't agree more Fable, Klorox. You really have to just play the game and forge your own adventure if it's your first time through; I had the most fun that way.
Believe me, sooner or later you'll want to play again, and that is when you can read up on all the nasty things you can do (e.g. UserUnfriendly etc cheesy spell applications) as well as some of the harder to find quests (first time through I missed the Twisted Rune, Kangaxx, and the Sahuagin City. Can you blame me for telling Saemon to go shove it, though?)
Anyway, since you're already here, my preference is definitely siding with Bodhi (though I sided with the shadow thieves the first time through, I think for the first-timer you gravitate toward them anyway), but my opinion is not always the popular one. I think dualed characters are awful, resting lots takes away from the fun, etc.
By the way, I forget when Renal disappears. Best to kill him after finishing the MaeVar business, as he might not be there after you've sided with Bodhi (initially I had said to take him out before you are sent to kill Aran, but he could be gone by then, or maybe he never disappears...)
Most importantly, though, try to have fun. If the idea of missing a quest here or there completely wrecks your idea of fun, by all means, puruse the available walkthroughs. I don't think this board has left a single stone unturned as far as BGII goes.

Anyway, what is the point? you'll not be roleplaying, and if I'm not mistaken the shadow thief "masters" will be unkillable to your non stat draining atacks as soon as you choose to side with them. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread |  Linear Mode | |
