Baldur's Gate II character who was also with you in the original
Baldur's Gate. The quest to rescue
Imoen takes up the first half of the
game and by the time you
rescue her all of your other party members will be much more powerful than she is. Nonetheless, Imoen is a
vital aspect of the
plot and should be taken into your
party anyway - she has much to reveal to you about your
true nature.
Perhaps most importantly, Imoen has been made vastly less annoying than she was in Baldur's Gate. Also, her thief skills are all you will ever need out of any thief in the game, so her relative weakness as a mage when you get her back is offset by the fact that she fulfills two roles in the party.
Imoen will also never desert you know matter how terrible of a bastard you are. You can kill all the townspeople you desire and she'll still stand faithfully by your side.
