I am beginning UD, and did every quest in Amn, except the limited wish quest
Because it was a first run with my favourite mods new version, I played my favourite character, the female kensodruid, Marina with it.
She is extremelly good with melee fights (even better than Kachiko), and with healing/buffing spellz. But first, and foremost, I found a portrait to her extremelly fitting. I never found any picture, that was so perfect to a dualclassed character (not only to kensodruid)
Here is Marina's portrait before resizing to BG.
At the beginning I tried, (as on the portrait), dualwielding Clubs (Blackblood+Gnasher), it wasn't bad, but because Kachiko hasn't a lot of spell, I made Kachiko to dualwield Dakkons, and Marina received Belm to offhand. The result is... A so good weaponcombination, that hits dualkatanas,katana-longswords. So extremellly good, and this can be obtained without any mods (Blackblood+Belm). She made the first duel in Naka arena, making short with Harm+Shillelagh. She is so good, that she will go to the rank of my super-premium characters (400 HP Barbarian-Mage 25WIS totemist, and such)
Sime "juicy" Linvail
As the romantic interest, (and the fact, that she is a blond (half)elf female) I couldn't pass her. The romance was as expexted, as well the "character". She joined with a bit smaller amount of XP, but still about a 500kXP more, than the protagonist. The first HLA again came at 2.25M XP, but the second normally at 3mXP. Sime's first dialogue with Imoen was fine, didn't came the others, but I din'play much since the first dialogue. The previous "Imoen dialogue" problem ocurred with all of the SIme-Dyna SPOILER!
( Boo)
banters, and maybe one of the Sime-Minsc banters (didn't remember). As the protagonist goes for clubs, I can't try with Sime new weaponcombinations. But a Question about SIme: On her background, and banters/lovetalks didn't found any reference, why she is a stalker ranger. The point is, maybe a beastmaster kit would fit more to her "charachter"Yoshimo "trapper" Hashimoto There isn't much to talk about YOshimo. He goes with his previous strategy. Tasheron bow and traps before TS quest, Yosi katana+Blade of Night+mourner armor in, and after TS main quest
Kachiko "supertank" Nakanishi I let her at the beginning with her dualwielded scimitars, but her effectiveness was surprisingly low (only 3. position), so I changed to dualwielded Dakkons, and that is her shine. Many player said, that a kensomage is owerpowered with dualwielded katanas. NO, the true Superpair is a kensage with dualkatana, AND a kensodruid with offhand belm (8, and 10 attack/round with maximum damage...) Her first Imoen banter goes fine, and like Sime, there wasn't any time, to trigger the second.
Minsc I tried somewhat new in TS, so Minsc came along, with various 2 handed weapons, and a lot of banters with miss Juicy. I modified my last entry at the topic TS 12, because he uses Scarab of Goodwill, but only because Gauntlets of dexterity isn"t avaible to him, because he uses bracers of Archery, and throwing spears via Item upgrade mod.
Imoen She is suprisingly effective, because I lost her in the backrank in some improved sauhagin battle, only to find her in the front (I forget to swich Staff of Magi to Tasheron bow), and in the main (improved) sauhagin battle her Malision+Wail of Bashee opened the way to the Superpair to the improved sauhagin priestess and the avatar of Sekolah. As written, the Sime-Immy, and Kachiko-Immy Banters (at least the first) triggered fine

-I didn't say Celestials mod is incompatibe with TS, I am saying only that strongly recommended not to install PNP Celestials with TS
-In my previous non TS play I tried with a male protagonist the Romantic encounters mod, and now with a female protagonist... Some of the Components (weathermstress Ada, Chanelle) are more picant, then Sime's flirts. Obviously Yoshimo, and Valygar component is incompatible, but Desharik is also made some "non-crucial dizzy", but nothing beyond repair.
-Really should someone separate correctly the Solabuffs, so it souldn't be any problem with TS. It is annoying doing the buffs, without the SOla-buffs.
Other mods and components are fine (by now)(pre UD), and the Nakanishi mages was a little (just a little) more difficult than other times, installed Tactics Smarter mages
