Coolest NPCs?

jbombard · 03-16-2001, 04:44 AM

Who are the coolest/most entertaining NPCs to play with and why?(not necessarily the toughest) I usually stick with some combination of Jaheira, Aerie, Minsc, Yoshimo, Valygar, and Imoen. But for the short time Korgan is in my party(for his quest) he always has me laughing. But I always end up dumping him because he is evil.

Minsc (and Boo!), combined with that nutcase sword make for a very enjoyable night of butt kicking. Besides that he has a very good arsonal of weapons to pick from, good in a fight, and has is my babes bodyguard (Aerie). On top of that he is willing to help me find the deadly snow weezel soon as we can get to Rashaksa. What else can you ask from a true friend? Exclent NPC.

I like Keldorn and Aerie too. I'm so far dissapointed with Imoen. I thought haveing her turn mage would be intresting, but so far all I'm doing is playing catch up with her. (reminds me anyone know where I can find a stinken blurr spell?)

Yoshimo was quickly becomming one of my favorites, but I decided he had to go and took in Imoen. I think he took it well in the end, he was all business.

Im wondering if you can change NPC's alighnments with SK,without the game crashing.
I ALWAYS play a GOOD party,and only took Korgan for the duration of his quest,but he was pretty funny.Its amusing telling Keldorn that you are a 'child of bhaal'and hearing him pledge his allegiance to you!!!!!??(Keldorn-he's a real trooper,and great support in times of uncertainty!)I usually cheat and change Keldorn's Crossbow proficiency to Longbow.
But yes....Minsc is my fave.

If you have shadowkeeper, and don't mind losing the helmet spot for something cool, why don't you try the Helmet of Opposite Alignment on Korgon? I tried it with Viconia sometime back, and I ran my reputation way up, and she never left or complained.

Fljotsdale · 03-16-2001, 04:30 PM

Yeah, Minsc & Boo have to my faves as well. I LOVE "butt kicking for goodness" is such a wonderful concept! I also like Keldorn - he is a very useful fighter. Imoen; yes; well, I thought she would be much more interesting, but she is rather boring, actually. But, then, she has been through a lot... probably badly traumatised! She was a much brighter companion in BG1.....
But I think Yoshimo is the most useful character in the game.. I got quite fond of him.......

you sentimental woman!

No I was upset too...

Anyway, if you have shadowkeeper, it's ten times easier if you just change the alignments instead of using the Helmet of Opposite Alignment. It will not crash the game and you'll save your helmet slots. Also, I always change their alignments to chaotic neutral, so their behaviour and dialogue will not appear incongruous. After all, the Helmet gives them a good alignment and then the things they say will not match their actual alignment. While chaotic neutral means you can get away with virtually everything!

jaheira is my personal fav. She has an attitude, is far more useful than her stats would lead you to believe, has genuine emotions (for a computer character) and she is THE slut! Sheesh, not 2 weeks after she finds her dead hubby, she is wanting The Prince of Sorrow something fierce! Ah well, gotta love Jaheira..

Keldorn is very cool too. Very Pallidinish and that must be hard to implement into a character properly. I also like Minsc but he is a tad too silly. Viconia is pretty cool too but she has no real motivations and that sucks...

The WORST IMO is Aerie. What an annoying character! Following close behind her is Nalia and Valygar. Nalia is also very annoying and Valygar is very boring once his quest is done.
