I plan on taking Karlach, Shadowheart and Gale most of the time. I don't have much interest in Lae'zel, although I plan to use her before getting Karlach, Astarion or Wyll. I like idea of playing with Jaheira, Minsc and Halsin, but of course, we're limited on party members.
So, which college should I go? I'm definitely taking persuasion, but I though of skipping Arcana skill till I pick college of Lore, but now I worry college of Lore isn't good choice. What do you think? I don't like idea of bringing party members that I don't like, so I would like to be pulling my own weight.
I'm playing on balanced, but don't tell me my build doesn't matter in balanced. I still struggle.
College of Knowledge is a great choice, especially if you take Karlach.
