Companions[]

Various companions from the original game, but not all of them, will be available - not always from the start - and various new characters will also become available.

The game starts with a Prologue, which is basically a carry-over from Chapter 7 of the original game of Baldur's Gate. This Prologue consists of two phases, a starter dungeon and a city phase with minor quests and initial stages of recruitment. If you are importing from a completed play-through of the original Baldur's Gate, or continuing on from one, you will initially begin with the same party (complete with all their equipment and inventory) that finished the original game... with one exception: Imoen, if in your party, will leave it to begin training as a mage under Duchess Liia Jannath, regardless of whether you actually kept her as a thief throughout the original game, or dual-classed her to mage yourself. She will be replaced by Safana, if the latter was not already in your party anyway (so if you dual-classed Imoen and she was your only mage, you may be out of luck.) If you are starting afresh, you will be assigned an alignment-appropriate party. Don't get too attached to them, though, they will break up after the starter dungeon.

At this point: All party inventory will be put in a storage chest which is accessible from the Ducal Palace (Prologue) or various other army camp locations as you advance the plot (later on in the game). So will the inventory of any party member who does NOT recur in Siege of Dragonspear - but their equipment (including Quickslot items) will be gone.

Any party member who recurs in Siege of Dragonspear, whether immediately or later, will keep whatever they were wearing at the end of the Prologue (if in your Prologue party) or wherever you left them earlier (if you previously took them into your party), so you will regain the equipment. Party members can be recruited as you carry on through the game.

Chapter 7 prologue, City phase:

-Minsc and Dynaheir can be (re-)recruited at the Three Old Kegs inn. 
-Safana hangs out at the Elfsong Tavern, and can be recruited (after having just broken up with Coran, who cannot.)
-Viconia DeVir is keeping a low profile in the crowds outside the Ducal Palace just before you end the chapter. They're pretty much all you can get at this stage, though any whom you missed will also show up at the start of Chapter 8.
-(Rasaad yn Bashir is at the Iron Throne Headquarters but will not join right now - he will reappear later).

Chapter 8:

-The Coast Way Crossing area allows you to find any of the previous companions that you missed, plus Edwin Odesseiron from the original game.
-Baeloth Barrityl from the Extended Edition, and the new M'Khiin Grubdoubler can be found in the north of the zone - provided Baeloth was not made an enemy and killed off by the party in BG1 (otherwise you miss out on both).
-Glint Gardnersonson and Schael Corwin, both new for Siege of Dragonspear, hang around the army camp at the Coast Way Crossing.
-Rasaad yn Bashir returns in the Coast Way Forest, and this time is recruitable.

Chapter 9:

-Jaheira returns, and Voghiln can be found for the first time, in Troll Claw Woods.
-Dorn Il-Khan is a prisoner in the camp at Boareskyr Bridge. His equipment will not be on him, but in a nearby chest.
-Neera and Khalid both reappear inside the Bridgefort. Neera can be recruited immediately, Khalid not till nearly the end of the chapter, but once he becomes recruitable, he becomes inseparable from Jaheira again - if you don't take Khalid, Jaheira will leave.

That concludes the regularly recruitable characters from Siege of Dragonspear. The rest of the original-game characters do not appear.

Chapter 12:

-A certain former enemy can BRIEFLY join your party right near the end of the game - if you have any space for them, which you probably don't.

Chapter 13:

-Oh, it's goodbye to them all again. The next bit is solo, although your various companions will react to the circumstances that enforce this in different ways depending on their alignment and your prior actions and reputation.

Epilogue:

- You are temporarily joined by as many as remain alive (most usually all of them) of the "canonical" party, that begins the story (three of them as companions, the other two dead for story reasons) at the start of BG2: Minsc, Dynaheir, Jaheira, Khalid and the now definitively dual-classed Imoen, just in time to fade to cutscene.
