Long ago I played through the original BG series as a Neutral Good Cleric. In BG1 I had Imoen, Khalid & Jaheira, and Minsc & Dynaheir. This seemed to be the 'assumed' party, based on how BG2 starts. In BG2 I had Jaheira, Minsc, Keldorn, Aerie (later switched with the ToB NPC), and Yoshimo & Imoen.
If I play again, I'll be looking for ways to switch things up, to experience as much of the game as possible (i.e. story, characters, etc.)... without mods, and without that Enhanced Edition.
I'll probably do my second go-round as a multi-class Fighter/Mage (either Elf or Half-Elf), which will cover playing three of the main classes in two play-thru's.
And I'll also probably try different NPCs. Several of the evil-aligned NPCs look interesting. Kagain, Edwin, and especially Viconia look like fun.
This made me start thinking: maybe I should be Neutral Evil, to offset the Neutral Good alignment of my first play-thru.
I understand that going around smokin' everybody will essentially break the game. That's certainly not what I'm looking to do. I'm looking to play evil in whatever capacity would make the game work with a party of evil alignments.
For the original (non-EE) BG1, does anybody have any experiences or recommendations for playing with a party of evil alignments?
