Oddly enough, I did his quest, he became a knight, and that attitude you all talk about pretty much goes away. He is a good PC and a good Cleric. I generally play *good* parties, and he and Keldorn get along very well. Then again, I don't put evil characters in my party with him, either.

I did start yet another game and am using a chaotic neutral PC - Korgan is a stitch if you can get past the thick accent. As a tank, however, I like Keldorn with the Holy Avenger. He whomps but good!

What is particularly galling is that he is the only NPC available for a female PC to have a romance with. If it were me, I would turn gay and chat up Viconia . He is totally crap, a poor fighter and a poor cleric. His wisdom sucks big time, even after he is knighted. I must congratulate the BG2 team, on devising such an intresting personality though. Viconia is far better a cleric and with a Str boost can fight well too. Otherwise, go with Aerie, who is also a good back-up mage or Jaheira, who is also interesting and an excellent druid who can fight properly as well.

I thought Haer'Dalis was available for female PCs as well, but I could be wrong

Come on...

Stick to the topic..

It's "praise"

If you wanna insult an NPC, go mutilate Haer Dalis or something and leave Anomen alone....

Fear not Stealth, females should have more options in TOB.

I hope so, Memny ! The hard part for us ladies to play computer games (adventure or RPGs) is often that we are compelled to play men. I still am not over with having had to be a big male Avatar in Ultima IX !

The choice should be more - extensive - in TOB. Not sure if the romance will only work during the expansion period or retrospectively through the game. It depends on how they script it.

I never got Ultima 9. It crash-looped on my brother and he took it back. They allowed male/female selections with the earlier games. Wonder why they stopped that? On the other foot, I would have liked the option to play a male character in the Tomb Raider games. Deathtrap Dungeon allowed you to play either

You are on the mark... they must have had a great time with him in the lab - I wonder who the voice is? He did really well! I love the choice to ask him where he got the silly accent... LOL

The only other one you hear about is Korgan - and he is quite a personality... mixing it up with that "tree hugger" Jaheira!
