Ah, yes, the good old BG1 days when Jaheira was the most despised NPC of the game (though I have to admit that from time to time I wanted to reach in through my screen and choke the life out of Edwin). People hated her with a passion or at least they had a very, very strong dislike. When BG2 was announced I can still hear the waves of disbelief that Jaheira was coming back. Now we have the "beloved" Anomen, *cough* *cough*, who drives normal people into having obsessive-compulsive thoughts and actions of inflicting as much pain, humiliation and death upon this NPC.
So here is the situation. Both are in your party, the scripted BG1 Jaheira and the scripted BG2 Anomen. Now to make this fair don't rush your answer. Usually because BG2 is much fresher people will have the tendency to go with Anomen. So relax, think back and try to remember Jaheira's melodious voice and demeanor as she castegated almost every move you made, especially if your rep was high. Ponder, ponder, ponder. Weight out the facts. Now, who gets wasted first and why? |

Jaheira...hands down, anyday. Anomen is a wuss that will shut up if you ignore him long enough, but Jaheira is, in her own words from BG1..."insufferable."

Jaheira WAS pretty annoying back in BG.
However neither BG Jaheira nor BG2 Anomen annoy me as that Gnome from BG2! I can't stand Jansen(BTW Quale-sp?- was even more annoying...What's with those gnomes anyway?)

Oh yesssss... I remember Jaheira. 40 hit points...tsk, tsk. My favorite thing I would do to her was to blast her with a wand of frost. Those were SO powerful back then. She would freeze into a jaheira-shaped ice cube, and blast apart, and Khalid would say "Jah..Jaheira? No, NO!!!!". HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! [img]graemlins/rambo.gif[/img] BAM! HAHA! Er, *ahem* sorry, got a little carried away there. Anyway, I hate jaheira more than anomen. A lot more. Still, I like to do the Flesh To Stone - Imprison- Freedom - Stone to Flesh- Disintigrate combo on Anomen, but I still hate Jaheira from BG1 more.

Well Saz this shows that two radically different oppinions can be both correct!
![]() Jaheira is a little annoying(although I admit that in BG1 she was terrible)but I use her in all my games,save the evil one. She works fine for me as a tank and has all the healing spells I need. Jan however...I just can't stand him although he is a good NPC in general.

BG1 JAHEIRA MUST DIE.
Hands down, BG1 Jaheira. At least Anomen has an excuse for his stupid attitudes (the paladins, snooty as they were, offered him something better than the back of Cor's hand.) But Jaheira... ugh. Nothin' doin'.
