Whenever I need a thief in this game, I find myself either making the PC a thief or using the multiplayer option to make a second PC for a thief. The choices in this game stink compared to BG1.

The four NPC thieves in BG2 don't entirely work for me. Only one is a pureclass thief. The multiclassed one takes FOREVER to get useful. And the dual-classed princesses have laughable mage skills. I had Nalia under the influence of two Master Thievery potions in order for her to be useable, much less useful.

Are any modders listening? Here are some NPCs I'd like to see:

--a skald romance
--a witty, wild swashbuckler
--a wild mage (ToB only)
--a wizard slayer

Things this game should have, but doesn't.
