Viconia and NPCs

Hi
I am through my second pass of the game, and I have decided to pursue the Viconia romance.
I was wondering which NPC's will Viconia fight with eventually (so I can avoid them...)
The only one I know of so far is Keldorn.
Is it possible that she gets in a fight with Minsc or Valygar too?

I've generally found that if you keep your reputation in the midrange, so nobody is getting upset over alignment, and your charisma is high, party NPCs won't fight. I've played through SoA five times without ever losing a person in my group.

I think that Valygar will get into after a while. They do not get along very well.
And Cernd does not get along very well but I think these two will not fight but just sling words at each other.
And welcome to the board.

@Fable, have you ever played through with Korgan and Aerie in your party? I was just wondering because I had tried but no luck. If you have done it, I may try again and keep my rep in check.

I have a paladin and my charisma is something like 22-23 (18 without the items)
I am just about to leave for Brynnlaw and my party consists of
Me
Minsc
Valygar
Yoshimo
Nalia
Viconia
If I keep my rep down (by the way how low should it be?
I think I have 17 right now)
do you think I can finish the game with this setup? (well swapping Imoen for Yoshimo of course...)
If I am to dump Valygar I obviously have to do it before leaving for Brynnlaw... I would hate it if Valygar and Viconia decided to have a fight in the Underground... No replacements there...
Thanks for the welcome!!!

As stated in the
NPCs section @Gamebanshee:
Viconia vs Valygar
I had them both in my party for a while and they seemed quite unfriendly. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere yet, but I suspect they'll finaly have a go at each other. This is quite clearly demonstrated in the Government District. Outside the Firecam Estate there is a lady named Oriana or something by a fountain. I talked to her and she offered Valygar her services. Valygar said something about saving that for another time, and suddenly Viconia stepped into the conversation. She said that Valygar didn't seem attracted to women and that he probably liked ghouls better and then dared him to show her how to take a woman. Valygar became angry and they both left my party to do battle. I think something similar will happen sooner or later even if you don't talk to Oriana.

Yes, my second party had Minsc, Aerie, and Korgan all in it at the same time.

But I kept that Ring of Human Influence on, and never allowed my rep to rise to the danger level. Kept saving regularly, just in case somebody did object--I wanted to see what others were talking about, just for the fun of it. That never happened.

Thanx Fable, now I guess I will have to see for myself.
I believe you, but any excuse and all.

to keep viconia satisfied, u should have a rep not above 12. on the other hand, for all the good chars u wont want to go below 9. kill someone and u have 9, maybe donate a little to 10 or 11 to get normal prices if u care. having 17 with an evil char becomes difficult already. and i think evil members leave at 19+.

Thanks for all the info...
I will try to keep them like this and balance my reputation as much as I can...
By the way, does anybody know at which reputation my paladin becomes "Fallen"?
