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?

I moved your post to the right topic, Magnus!

Where were you all those days that we were discussiong over this change? As you can see in this thread, the majority of players agreed that having two identical NPCs in the vanilla game (i.e. Nalia and Imoen) was absurd and most of them voted for changing Imoen (rather than Nalia) to a sorceress.

what will people like me do who relied so much in her thieving skills (to unlock and disarm)? We will have to stop using the Yoshimo - Imoen combo and will have to create a PC

Nalia's thieving skills are more than adequate for your needs in IA (specially because her skills are re-distributed). Jan Jansen is also a capable thief. Use either one of them or use an NPC mod or create a multi-player thief. Personally, I recommend taking Nalia.

Yoshimo is a weak character in IA (regardless of changing or not changing Imoen). I wonder who really may want to play the enitre chapter 2 and chapter 3 with Yoshimo. It's wasting XP on a weak character who will eventually leave your party after consuming all those valuable XPs.

I fear that at least me, and regretting it a lot because of the big amount of new content I'm going to miss, will have to stick with v 4.2.

V4.2 will no longer be supported after the release of v4.3. If you stick to v4.2, not only you will lose several hours of additional game play/new quests etc... but also you will be on your own if you encounter any problem during the game. The choice is yours to make, of course.

Cheers

Isn't there a somewhere mod which provides the option to transfer all his gathered XP to Imoen? I recall having seen it somewhere.

Even if you find such a mod don't install it with IA, because IA adds XP to Imoen when she joins you in spellhold. If you install another mod which adds XP to her, they will stack and she will gain too many experience points.
