NPC question

[Dado]

In A1 for example, had 4 npcs, but the max characters that yow can have is 4, so what characters do yo prefer to put on, and what do you make? create 4 character and delete other to put other, or create one character and put the npcs in the 3 free places? what do you think

[Sticky]

I think it depends on the person

 

I like to start with 4 characters all with the reputation bonus. Then I can delete them in the correct order to get the other special ability types from NPCs

[Alorael at Large]

I stick with my four created characters. Taking the NPCs just isn't as much fun.

[Toenail Returns]

I usually get maybe one NPC and stick with three of my own.

ive tried out many different party-types, and the one i atm find best is: start out with custom-made fighter, druid, mage and get the npc from cotra as fast as possible. that way you have a highly-specialized, powerful and well-balanced party thats good for any situation.

one more thing: if you put an npc in the first slot when you get him/her, he/she will get elite soldier trait. in slot 4, he/she will get natural mage. (this will only work if the npc gets that slot when you get him. putting him/her in there afterwards doesnt do a crap.)
