Xan or Minsc and Dynaheir?

Minsc and get Dynaheir, or dump Minsc and take Xan?
If I would take Minsc and Dynaheir, I planned on dumping Khalid and Jaheira
and asking Kivan to join me. Would that be a good idea? I'm a fighter, and I
don't want to leave Imoen or Branwen behind.

want to let Jaheira and Khalid go because they were friends of Gorian so I still
have them along with Imoen and I have Minsc and Dynaheir. I got attached to my
characters and do not want to let any of them go. I wish I could just let a
couple of others join.

but Minsc is the stuff of the legends, right?
I might have kept Khalid rather than Kivan (something bad
happened to Jaheira...)

This is an excellent party but very battle oriented, not much magic there.

I have a similar party, except Yeslick replaces Branwen. Anyway, I tend
to use as little magic as possible. In every game, actually. Melee combat
rules.

Close but no cigar .. actually MISSILE combat rules in BG, as any run in
with Kobold Commandos and the Black Talon Elite will quickly confirm.
Magic is nice for Haste, Protection from Evil, and the occasional
'specific' bit of magic that will fix the impossible (resilient Sphere
in a couple of places), plus Dispel, Heal, etc.
I went most of the way with the party above, but also traded Branwen
(who gets on your wick after a while) for Yeslick. Second time through I
picked up Ajantis very early, and did without Kivan .. the extra Heal
being quite useful. Coran is OK too, if you plan to dual Imoen to a mage
(and he's a pretty good Archer, but then so was I by that time).

Yikes! Xan is better than Dynahier?!? Dynahier could kick Xan's butt
big-time. (Hmm, this would be fun to try. :) Besides, Xan's gloom
and doom wore on me really fast.
For me, Minsc, Dynahier, Kivan, Branwen, Imoen and main character are
the "base" party. Later on, I would make at least 2 substitions, but
at this point in the game, that's a good group.
However, the poster who said it "didn't matter" is correct in some
respects. Any balanced party can win the game, I believe. Half the
fun is trying out all the different NPCs. I never gave Jaheira or
Khalid much of a chance before, but in my current game, I'm keeping
them the entire time and they're kicking butt. I'm 2/5ths through the
Cloakwood and Khalid has 210 kills and Jaheira about 180. 'Course, my
fighter/archer has 540, but that's to be expected. :)
So, I say go with that group for the time being. Then when you're
done, play again and this time use different NPCs and a different
class main character. :) If you note that Imoen can dual-clase to a
mage, then you have all sorts of possible combinations available.

My sentiments exactly. What do you think all the NPC's are there for? Does
the word replayability mean anything?
that's what I like better about BG than PS:T, all the different NPC's.
Try finishing the game with these unlikey people:
Shar - Teel (Fighter)
Eldoth (Bard)
Xan (Enchanter)
Skie (Thief)
Faldorn (Druid)

Yes, but Branwen is a babe and Yeslick is butt-ugly. Further, Coran's
constant hitting on Branwen is good light-hearted entainment for the party!

IMO, they're there for Iron Man. Take the default stats thrown at you at
the start of the game, no reloads except the obligatory ones where the main
character dies. You need lots of NPCs to replace the fallen who die in
combat.

You don't need Branwen for that. Coran will hit on just about anyone.
:) My game, he's hitting on Jaheira. I'm kind of disappointed that
Khalid hasn't whacked him over the head yet. The fun combo was Coran
and Shar-Teel, though because she actually responded back.

I guess that Coran's domestic problem referred to in the game was
well-earned!

raise her, but swore that is she died again....well, she was just lost to
the world. I did like Viconia, though. Especially when she demanded food
from the male party members. Safana was also good for variety as well. I
was disappointed in her over all hit points, but she did have good skills.
