Tenderfoot Thahd Tango Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I've seen a few places say that the first thing you should do is ditch one of your characters. What's the point in that? One would think 4 > 3, so I'm not sure of the logic of dropping your second character. Why should players run the game with only 3 chars?

Articulate Vlish Failedassassin Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 You get more experience, the less characters you have. That's my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk S M Adventurer Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 My opinion is that they probably said ditch 1 of your characters so you have a space in your party's roster to take in an NPC. NPCs are typically stronger than your party, so having one in your party helps a lot. Note that for most NPCs you need to have your reputation at a certain level and/or complete a quest before they will join you. As for any other reasons for ditching one character, I don't really see anything else. Some people play singleton parties in the Avernum trilogy and delete the other characters. Besides more experience for each of the three characters, that's really it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 The most common party optimization trick is to dump your first slot character, who is presumably a melee fighter, for Jay. He's a fighter in Silvar, he'll join you for 100 gold, and he starts at level 3 far better than any character you can produce at level 3. —Alorael, who considers Andrew in Cotra a reasonably good deak as well, but only if you rush to get reputation without getting experience, and only if you want his stats. He's not quite the no-brainer that Jay is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Tango Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Ok, that makes a ton more sense. The experience I don't really care about since more xp per kill means you gain levels faster. I don't much care about speed as long as I can do it EVENTUALLY.
