I'm new to the whole Baldurs Gate boat and just got the games finally working after a billion hours of pain and woe. But finally got the game going (and with the tutu mod... or whatever it's called to get the BG2 graphics and design for 1) and have been playing the game for a little bit.

Now, I never played a game like this so I have been taking it slow and careful, talking to people and flailing about when battles happen and keeping an eye out for special portiat npcs (after I accidently turned down one guy who would have given me a side quest to get him. Nooo DX) and now about 5 in game days deep and the two evil characters I recruited have started to get... rather vocal about how annoyed they are that I haven't gone to Nak... however it's spelt.

I haven't gotten a chance to get through some side quests and have been running back and forth between towns and exploring to see if I miss out on anything (I tend to play slow) but the main question is are they going to leave my party if I don't right away take them to the city in question?

I have looked it up, but I haven't found an answer to it. Help please? I don't want to lose them just yet because I'm exploring, and I don't like being rushed along in a game thanks to time limits.
