I like the hobgoblins. They have cool sound sets, there is a variety of tough they are, and they look cool. Occasionally they even have good items (a short sword?)

I've always liked xvarts (those little annoying blue guys). "Ataaaaack!" heh.

By the time I get to the xvart village my fighters are usually pretty high level, so the whole scene is one of major carnage with plenty of chunkification...

Never liked hobgoblins myself, by the way. The ordinary ones aren’t especially tough, not even for a low-level party, but the hobgoblin elite use poisoned arrows (which mysteriously transform into ordinary arrows once you loot their bodies), and the fight with a large number of the hobgoblin elite could be troublesome indeed; unless all you party members have a very good AC and/or you have some offensive area spells (like Fireball or Skull Trap) in your disposal.

P.S.

A certain named hobgoblins indeed have some very nice magic items on them, though, most notably Boots of Stealth, +2 Short Sword, and Bow of Marksmanship.

I love basilisks, sirenes, and flesh golems. They're all a challenge to kill, and very rewarding in terms of experience.

You know, I'm going to have to agree... Sirines are my favorite.

Anyone who thought mustard jellies really were my favorite hasn't been paying attention.

Ogre Berserkers are pretty cool. When my party was low level they were real tough, and it was a big accomplishment when I killed my first one!

Oh, and the bandits at the Bandit Camp have a great sound set - they sound like Californian beach bums!

I think of the sirenes too, because they were the first enemy that I got to that gave me a hard time, I'd always end up with my fighter chasing my other characters all around.

Damn those Sirenes with their Dire Charms! And they always get their spells off before I can turn them into pincushions...

thanks, sir! I registered because I am playing through wizardry 8 right now, but I also play BG1 and 2 and Morrowind, so these boards are perfect.


talking about the xvarts, I did always love the "attaaaack!!!!" sound :D I had a game where my PC was a human fighter, and she was slaughtering those Xvarts like mad at the village. The last Xvart got scared and started running, and my PC switched to throwing knife and gibbed the fleeing Xvart with one shot....looked pretty wicked :D
