How come in a game where you are spoilt for choice during character creation there are so few NPC characters. Maybe i am just lazy and unobservent but i have found no Half Orc NPCs, nor have i found any Monks or Sourcerers or any of the other more exotic types?
There is only so much space in a game i am shure and the Developers no doubt stuck in as many as possible but think how hard a sourcer is ( If you don't use one, try it, but only if you are a magic user, not a Hack'n'Slasher).
Anyway if you no of any exotic NPCs that i have missed please tell me where they are.

These are all the npcs in bg2
Imoen Thief/mage human
Minsc Ranger human
Jahiera Fighter/druid half-elf
Yoshimo Bounty hunter human
Valygar Stalker human
Mazzy Fighter halfling
Jan Thief/illusionist gnome
Aerie cleric/mage elf
Viconia cleric elf
Keldorn inquisitor human
Anomen Fighter/cleric human
Edwin Conjurer human
Korgan Berzerker Dwarf
Cernd Shapeshifter human
Her'dalis Blade Tiefling
Nalia Thief/mage human

As you can see there are no monks or sorcerers, shame.

And Keldorn is an Inquisitor if I am not mistaken.

Well spotted! Sorry, I correct that now.

there are so few npcs beacuse black isle decided on quality not quantity and developed the storeys and charecters more, like ing BG1 they hardly ever talked to each other.

With all those humans couldn't they fit in ONE half-orc?

Alas, you have another minor problem in your list:

Viconia- cleric dark elf. Sorry for nitpicking.

His right. There's to few NPC's. Even the critters in the game aren't different. Maybe they could put a very funny half-orc tavern owner or an dark quest about an suspicious Sorcerer (we could even find a little about their nature, are they dragons, as said?).

Viconia doesn't cout. Just paint her black and put a "Dark" before the "Elf" and she's ready. No new special abilities and succh.

Hate to tell you but Viconias special ability is her high magic resistance.

I wish they´d put in even less npc´s with more script.
Take Planescape Torment, only 6 npc´s but yet the best i´ve ever had.
