    [​IMG] Imoen, definitely.
    Not only did she do a massive amount of damage with a bow, especially at the beginning of the game, she's a char that grows on you as well. You actually care for her, not unlike some others that you just say fuck em (excuse my French) if they die and get a new one.
    Or maybe that's just me?

    [​IMG] Imoen, apart from her impressive archery talent, you can choose how she develops her thieving skills as you get her at level one right at the start of the game and she does grow on you. And she can dual class as a mage which can be very useful I find.
    Although I dont just say fuck it when Minsc or Vicona dies either, the rest of the characters I might, but not them.

    Probably Sarevok. He rocks. For an NPC, I liked Tiax, he wasn't that great at anything, but he was cool. And they way he was mentioned in the credits, pure genious! "Tiax rules, make way!"

    [​IMG] Mine is Coran -- he is a killer backstabber, especially when you equip him with both the Boots of Speed and the Gauntlets of Ogre Strength. He has a suave personality too, though a tad irresponsible in his dalliances...

    [​IMG] Xzar is defintley my fave character. I guess his slightly homicidal antics make up for his lack of hit-points (I'm sure they must be fixed to ALWAYS be poor, even for a mage), but his stats are pretty good really. And he's a necromancer, and they rock. And if you reach Baldur's Gate those guys upstairs in the Sorcerer's Sundries reveal Xzar is a Zhent agent. Oh yeah, he's got a brilliant voice as well. Shame Montaron is a bit of a loser then really!

  12. Ajanis, and the way he stubbornly clings to his honor above all else.
    Although I wish they could have come up with something a little more original than "my honor is my life", which they ripped off from Dragonlance. Some eerie chanting as he charged into battle would have been cool.

    I'm soory, but I despise Khalid. When I got frustrated, I used to save my game, go back and pick him up, then have him killed in all sorts of ways. When I felt better I would re-load and pick up. Twisted I know, but what are you gonna do? He's just so WHINY!

    My fave was Imoen. She was just the kickin-arse archer, and you got to choose her thief skills right from the start. I like KHALID too because you can make sure he has high hit points. I hated Garrick personally, and I would have my sadistic pleasure by having him killed in awful ways. He also is hillarious when he fails a morale check. Jaheria sucked too, but I had her executed by Khalid so it didn't matter :)

    Albert. He was too hyped! When he changed into the Naycodemon and gated away, if you were quick enough, you went with him to the Nine Hells. Bloodly crazy battles. My swords where swinging, my magic crackling, my arrows flying. Oh no, wait. I didn't use arrows in BG1, only cowards use them and my party is nothing of the sort. I have a few cowards in BG2 though because it's a little tougher and it's mostly Nalia anyhow ;) Albert. Yup, never forget him and the trip he took me on.

    [​IMG] Xan (<--is that his name??)I loved his end-of -the-world attitude, but I didn't keep him for long as i wanted to make room for another character, besides the fact that he was depressing all the others!!

    [​IMG] I just can't get enough of Minsc! How could you not like someone with lines like: "Squeeky wheel gets the kick!" and "Minsc leads, swords for everyone!" Plus that funny noise that Boo makes when you click on him. GREAT CHARACTER. Most of the NPC's in BG1 were not made up out of nowhere but actualy D&D characters that Bioware people played used in their personal pen and paper games. Think of that the next time you play the game.

    My favourite character (apart from my own who i call Majikus) is Minsc. With his funny speeches he just makes me crack! Especially with "you point, I punch"

    My fav is Coran. He´s a real great archer and a good thief, too. (it´s practical to have him AND Imoen...one can find traps, one can open locks). The only thing I find a bit confusing about him is his saying: "Wie gut ´ne Frau zu sein" (German version perhaps badly translated) which means "How good it is to be a woman".
    Yeslick is quite cool, too.
