Newbie, Mods and party members Options

[Spike]

Hi all,

first of all, thanks to Sikret for this fine mod. I love it.
I'm not really an experienced BG player and the fights in IA are very tough for me, but fun. I did some practice in v4.2 and now i'm waiting for 4.3. In my next install i want to add some more content and hence more mods. Maybe one of the more experienced players can have a short look in my list and give advices for possible incompatibilities or other problems. Thanks in advance.

I also have probs to form my party. I know there are already a lot of other threads discussing this topic, but the decision is hard. My basic principles are to use NPCs, which exists in the original game and to bother with SK or NI isn't an option for me. Here are my thoughts:

Me - F/I or Vagrant - Both are new for me
Keldorn - dispel magic, true sight and a powerfull fighter
Valygar - nice items
Imoen - sorceror in 4.3
Haer'Dalis - pickpocket and nice bard armor
Cernd - Auramaster
Anomen - need a cleric for greater restoration

Help would be appreciated.

No problem.

I'm glad we worked this out so that the players can now safely enjoy the content of both of our mods.
