The one thing that these 3 have in common is that each is a pure class character.
Korgan: pure fighter
Edwin: pure Mage (Conjurer?)
Viconia: pure cleric
I know that this is what a number of people have cited as their reason for their belief in the superiority of this evil trio of NPCs.
There are not that many other good versions of these pure class NPCs.
Mazzy could be seen as Korgan's opposite, since she's a lawful good pure class fighter.
Nalia is the closest thing to a pure good mage. (I play her that way since she really had only 5000 XP as a Thief before dualing to Mage). But she cannot be nearly as potent as Edwin due to the fact that he's getting 3 extra spells per spell level (1 per since he's a specialist and 2 per since he's got that non-removable amulet).
Finally, the closest thing to an opposite number for Viconia is Anomen. Even though I'm a person who prefers to play paladins, I find Anomen to be a major pain. There were times when my last paladin just wanted to haul off and stick the Holy Avenger right up his useless ass. Viconia may be "evil" and her conversations do little to change my mind about that. However, as a paladin, I don't find her nearly as annoying as Anomen. Vic and I just have some philisophical differences. Anomen is an arrogant, pompous, unreliable jerk who should be fed to Fiirkrag as an appetizer!!!
