This is what my party looks like atm:
Da'Rok(Sick bastard kensai)
Korgan
Yoshimo
Jaheira
Viconia
Edwin

*SPOILER AHEAD*
This sucks because Yoshi will turn his back on me after spellhold. I just had a great idea to replace him with Anomen.. but then two issues came into my mind:
1. I got no thief in my party! How am I supposed to open locks and get pass traps. :(
2. Does Anomen change in party such as this? Since guy is trying to reach his knighthood. eg if I slice n dice his dad and not bring him to justice.. and every other way take the wrong path what will happen to him?

What would you suggest.. (prolly a topic that has been around once every month - lack of evil characters)

Just grab Imoen in Spellhold. She's a fair thief and a mighty mage.

Imoen in an evil party? I guess if you didn't care she was your goody-two-shoes sister and all. I'm not sure what wil happen to Anomen in an evil party. From what I understand, if he fails his knighthood test, he will become openly hostile to a good aligned party eventually. I don't know what he would do if he was part of an evil party. And if you want an evil thief, I would suggest creating one yourself. Jan is nuetral, so that might be a possiblity if you wanted to go that route. But I'd suggest just making your own in multi player mode.

Jan was neutral? Damn.. that's my man
Thanks

if you turn Anomen bad he will eventually go completely mad you know.

at first he just comes out with some plain nasty comments, THEN he will start going beserk in the middle of battles.

Eventually he turns on the party. Bleedin' wonderful!

I am intending to start an evil party soon as well and am stuck with the same problem although I think I will have my main PC as a thief and take Haer'dalis for a grin. But having Minsc in an evil party would be quite evil in itself... you know an evil master manipulating a loyal, less intellegent, well meaning friend. Oh and I finshed the game with Anomen in my party having failed the knight quest and he never turned on me, though the party was fairly neutral in allignment (true neutral bard, Minsc, Mazzy, Cernd, Jan...later Edwin)

Take Minsc and sacrifice him at the end. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

He, if your rep drops to 4, Minsc will turn on you and he will do quite some damage!
I had some xperience with this in BG, got kicked... ;)
