Keldorn will happely tolerate all other evil companions (and even your char if he's evil), which is retarded.

Yep, Keldorn is surprisingly tolerant. He even has something of a friendship with Korgan which is somewhat amusing considering their polar opposite alignments and views of the world.

I found Haeravon walktrough far superior.Otherwise, I also read walktrough while shitting.

Also, my inner munckinny autistic self disagree with some point, but i'm not sure we should listen to him in order to enjoy BG2

Care to develop ga♥ ?

What should I elaborate, dsimpson's guides are just better organized, better structured, and they are just... guides, not a playthrough report.
Moreover 99% of chance he just copied dsimpsons guided, even if he never mention it...

Hum what ? Structure tend to be pretty much the same on gamefaq, whatever the game. Playthrough report is a decent critic, but :what:about copying it, his word count his nearly the double from dsimpson, and dsimpson guide is heavely edited by other people comment.
Moreover, he's just plain wrong on few thing, like how the fuck valygar got a better rating than edwin ?

By copying I mean he used dsimpson's guides to write his long, prolix, full of superflous infos, playthrough reports, which are a clusterfuck to follow (but I did enjoy reading nonetheless).
And he doesn't even mention or thanks dsimpson.

And no the structure is not the same, for example dsimpson's Baldur's Gate 2 faq is divided for areas. Each area has its quests described, which is neat and functional.

Regarding Edwin and Valygar, he may be wrong, but the guide is still just better (or maybe he meant to compare apples to apples, so you shouldn't compare Edwin rating with Valygar's, but let's say Edwin's with Nalia's).

Dan Simpson had incredible output. He did several reviews for several long games, and I've never found anything missing from them. He must have spent an incredible amount of time on them, and for nothing -- it's not like anybody at GameFAQs was getting paid back in 2007 (or are getting paid now, for that matter).

I never tried this. This is one of those builds that can allow you to solo the game, correct?

Well, you could technically finish the game solo with any class, but it's regarded as second strongest build, just behind all the variant of F/M

What makes half-elf better at being female/male/trannies?

It's powergamey but it's just the stats increase you get through BG1/BG2/TOB.
IIRC you can end up with 21 DEX, while with an elf you would be 22 dex, which doesn't increase AC so its useless (unless you want to solo using bows...)
