Maneha / Zahua Npcs - White March focused?

[Himself]

So, did a quick search on google and these 2 party members are found in Stalwart from WM1, that ok?

 

Questions:

 

Is the content of these 2 npcs related MOSTLY to White March, or they affect much of the general game?? (outside of white march)

 

Also, White March being an expasion, should I wait until finsihing to game to try it?

The option to go there has been available for a while but I avoided thus far, assuming its a high level area (like say Watchers Keep for BG2).

 

Thanks for clarifications!!

No, it is mid to lategame content, and after reaching the point of no return in the main story, there is no goimg back to do White March.

The new companion's quests take place exclusively in WM areas, they'll still have comments and party banter anywhere though. No companions affect the game outside of Grieving Mother for a single quest.

 

White march can be done anytime before the endgame quest. If you do it at higher levels it will scale up in difficulty. It also drops some pretty good gear so you might want to do it early on.

It's worth pointing out that there are three WM companions; Zahua and Devil are from the first expansion.  Maneha is from the second.  Also, I personally only liked Zahua, but your value may vary.

 Maneha is from the second.  

 

Though if you bought it you can get her as soon as you get there, just her quest does not happen untill later. Devil you can only get after doing a short dungeon, it's also avaliable right away but can be a bit of a challenge.
