Do you have any favourite npc? In my case it is Kivan, I played BG1 several times and I always looked for him as soon as possible. I just don´t know what to do without his bow-skills.

i never even used kivan, who is he, where do you meet him, and why is he good?

Kivan is a ranger with very good shooting skills, and I think in the very beginnging you can find him near to the place where Thalantyr is selling his magic items.

ah him, think i told him to fuc... er to go away [img]tongue.gif[/img] oh well i rarely use missle weapons anyway im a melee man [img]smile.gif[/img]

Is Kivan really that good? I have never had him (because he has never agreed to talk to me)in my party. My favorites are Xzar and Montaron (they are funny).

Kivan, is pretty decent. I found him to be kinda low on hit points towards the end as a front line fighter but he is great for long range combat. He works well with Arjantis, and not so well with Viconia but I recommend putting those two together just for the conversation.

As for my favorite NPC, I can't really pick it is such a hard question. How about my worst, that would be any Bard, and Skie because you need to take that chump bard along just to get her.

My FAv NPC would have to be Immy. LOL, I can remember when "we" first took down a pair of wolves and a blackbear ;) just outside Candlekeep, my Char would be dead if she hadn't been there... lol, and shes lighthearted I guess, my Char has these ridiculassly heavy lines he has to say, and Immy kinda balances that all out.

I have to agree with Calaethis, as I liked Imoen the best too. Her light heartedness was in stark contrast to the Main Character.
After her, I would say Yeslick.

I like Boo the best (giant space hampsters rule!) But With kivan just give him a longbow of marksmanship and a few arrows +2 and you have a lot of dead enemies. :D

Kivan is my favourite. He is absolutely great. Give him a bow and watch things drop. Even at the beginning of the game, I can be a fighter with THAC0 17 and there he is with THAC0 12 at level two, killing everything in sight. Near the end of the game, I always check which NPC has the most kills to his or her name. It is always Kivan.
