Nalia & Imoen Options

[Sikret]

Are you happy with Nalia's class (= A weaker duplicate of Imeon)? Or do you prefer her to be a sorceress? Of course, she says things about lockpicking in her dialogues, but perhaps they are not really too many or too important. Another alternative is to increase her level in thief class to make her a better thief for those who want to save a slot for a party member (though in this way she will become even more identical with Imoen).

Another option is to leave Nalia as she is and change Imoen to a Sorceress when you find her in Spellhold. The justification can be that through the rituals and experiments performed on her, amazing and radical changes have occurred in her mental status.

A last and moderate choice is to leave both of them as they are but just re-distribute Nalia's thieving skills to make her a better trap finder/disarmer. 10% of her pick pocket skill can be safely moved to her remove trap.

Any comments?

Well I'm personally not a big fan of Nalia or Imoen, so I suppose this won't affect me much. However, I will say that in a run or two I've done with Nalia in my party I don't seem to remember her commenting on thieving stuff very often. Maybe 3-4x throughout the game. With numbers that low I don't think it would be a big deal to change her to a non-thief class.

As to the issue of sorcerer learning spells, I'm not sure. It was always my impression that a sorcerer gaining new spells at level-up was merely a means to recognize the "discovery" of new spell-casting ability as power is gained.

I always like Edwin as my main caster. Which makes me wonder, Sikret, does IA have any compatibility issues with the part of the tweaks/EoU that makes it so that party members of all alignment won't leave or fight eachother?
