To be honest , I have had a few incomplete runs at the game . I know there are better picks for party members out there , but tough giving up some of the characters I like . 1 I guess I should have mentioned I would have a stand in thief while Imoen is not in the party . 2 Is Keldorn and Minsc enough of a front line with one using 2 handed swords and the other dual wielding , or should I plan on Keldorn using a shield ? Do you have any suggestions on a good warrior replacement , i ' m not particularly set on having Keldon and Mazzy . 3 I am set on being a mage , and I was planning on importing my previous character . I would consider , possibly , replacing Aerie with someone else , but I am interested in seeing how here character arch pans out . It would probably need to be a cleric , so either Jahiera or Anomen .
