Minsc or Korgan...pick your tank

hrizonstickup · 09-12-2001, 02:33 PM

I created my own party (female swashbuckler, female sorcerer, male fighter, elven archer) and had no troubles early on but soon found i had to many ranged attacks so picked up minsc and korgan to see which i would keep.........i like korgan but his evil alignment is going to throw me off..my rep is at 16 and im only halfway throw chapter two...so who's more worth it to you Korgan or minsc...??

Unless you're evil, which apperantly you're not, take Minsc.
The thing with the evil NPC's is that they're only good at what they're good at.
Minsc is good at fighting and a good laugh...

But, In your case, I would switch between the NPC's, and Minsc doesn't have a personal quest so Korgan may be more interesting. Then, you can dump Korgan and take another NPC with you.

I prefer Minsc myself

He's a great loony, and he has Boo too

Minsc seems like the better fit for your party...

I have played both, and without a doubt Korgan is a much better fighter. Give him the dwarven thrower, stonefire axe and Crom Feyer, and then get out of his way! Minsc does hold a soft spot in my heart, however. I still get all teary-eyed remembering the time Minsc single-handedly mowed down 3 giant bolders and 2 gauths while in hell. Wow what a sight that was!

By the way Oldbittercraig, feel free to come over to my cabin for some evermead with tannis any time, although watch it when you first come in because he seems to have a tendancy to shoot anything that moves with his cross-bow of speed.

Minsc. Much more fun. And Berserker is handy.... if you remember to use it, lol!

Minsc And Boo rock´s they´re funnier and sweeter than Korgan

I would pick Keldorn over either Minsc or Korgan. His true sight and dispel magic are soooo incredibly valuable, its no contest.
