Okey, to the big question. Who do you think is the coolest charackter in the hole Baldurs Gate series, that you can have in your party. I think I'l cast my vote for Tiax on first place, Hear'Dalis On second and Xzar on third. Now what do you think

Well let's see... Happy I am to see so many friends of our Favorite Zhent agent Xzar, So for me he takes first place, followed by Monty of course, Edwin takes third, while Korgan is fourth.... an Jan winds up at the bottom at fifth. Below him are the honorable mentions, Haer'Dalis, Yoshimo, Xan, Tiax, Boo, Minsc....
As for those that played the game, I am curious, Which romance plots was the highest on Everyone's list? (To clarify, which was the romance plot of most importance to you?) |

| How do you keep Yosihimo then? I liked Zan pretty much to, but most for his flaming sword. He is almost to sucky to have on your theme, I mean he has 7 in constitution. I didnæt have much romances. The only one must have been between Hear'Dalis an Viconia, but that is not so weird couse them and Seravok was the only one I had on the team. |

| You know I didnt have any? I only used a group of guys or a group of females. I didnt feel like putting up with mushy stuff? lol. Actually I wouldnt know. That just reminds me of a couple of gods. They were hot for each other in mortal life and still go at it in god hood all the time. Forgot which two though. |

For pure power, there is noone to touch Sarevok. I mean stat points total to 93 or somethign, with grandmaster in two-handed sword, + his devastating attack. Hits for like 200+ damage. Awesome.

I agree that Sarevok is awesome, as is Keldorn, especially with the Holy Avenger. Appropriately equipped they can wreck anything they come up against. Period. Jan recieve an honorable mention, since he is so funny, except that he sucks are a character. Haer'Dalis also goes up as a mention, but only because he's a Planescape tie-in, and Planescape ROCKS! Since we're talking about tie-ins, did everyone get all the tie-ins that existed in the Planar Sphere? If you did, congradulations. Viconia is easily in the top five, firstly because she's a Drow, and second because she is an awesome cleric...and you can make her good! No that's roleplaying.  |

Well Keldorn isn't that good. He is very good in SOA with the avenger, but in TOB all theifs and bards can use it so you realy doont need a charackter to veild the avenger. By the way, since Jan has been mensioned, has anyone here killed the Dwarf that treat Jans love and her daughter bad, I just wondered since Jan said he would kill him if he treated her bad again , but nothing has happend*
*I should maybe take that as a good sign, but I would rather have a task . |

| The Holy Avenger is not the only reason Keldorn rocks. If you have not figured that out yet, you have not played Baldur's Gate II right. The Inquisitor kit is one of the best in the game because you get True Seeing and Dispel Magic that cast at an incredibly low casting time. If those are not priceless, what is? |

I would say that Keldorn can still hold his own in ToB. The inquisitor kit becomes insanely powerful at the end of the title, and the holy Avenger +6 is near peerless for raw power. It is also suited specifically to Keldorn and is on its own a worthwhile reason to have a Paladin in your party.
Since there are no Monk NPC's, A Keldorn/Minsc, and Sarevok Korgan combo can make a devastating front line. |

| I have already been trough a debate aboute Paladins just reasent, and I do still not like them so much, and for gods sake, Keldorn is a old, lawful good Paladin. He is not very cool, and if you think Keldorn is worth having in your party becouse he is cool then you sould begin wondering if you have played the game right. |

not to be pedantic Ezindir the dark: but your argument you had with someone else, somewhere else has no bearing here. Please explain why you feel the way you feel so we can all beenfit from your views 
I personally think Lawful good characters are nice to have, and have played BGII through at least 3 times with Paladins as my main character. I dont think he is worth having in my party cause he's cool. I think he is worth having in my party becuase he is the only inquisitor in the game. Dan Simpson and his colleagues who are the de fact accepted masters of BG, in their own teams, suggest having an inquisitor on mroe than one occasion. I therefore find a lot of weight in Edain's argument of pro Keldorn.
I think it is also that to say anyone is playing a game wrong is a bit unfair. Everyone plays their own way. I never play with Korgan or Viconia (until she changes anyway) and I almost always play with Aerie. Point is we all have our own preferences. |

| Well okay, a short resume: I think paladins are boring since they are so nice and good, they cant be evil and they cant do anything wrong with them onn your team you cant do anything wrong unless you whant them to bail you. Keldorn is also ooooolllld. And that playing right thing: he started. |

| Minsc is da man! Really, the humor gets my vote. Cespenar was my *****, only because he'd ask if I brought home a lady imp and stuff like that. I'm soooo sorry, but I liked it. I could sit there and beat him if he got too annoying, too. |

MY favorite person was always me, because I was the child of a god, who knows how that came about?!?
But My least favorite pERson is definitly Imoen. Shes horrible, and she whined to much. Her voice killed me and I hated her, But I as well like the Imp in the pocket plane,.

| Imoen does kinda suck, but Aerie's constitution is worse. My party had me, as an assassin, Sarevok, Edwin, juss cuz hes sarcastic, Viconia, Korgan, and Haer'Dalis. He's kinda good if u know how to use him |

My Party Consisted of:
Myself - Ecthelion
Level 8 Fighter / Mage+++ (Human. Dual-Class)
- - Minsc
The master of odd comments.
Equipped him with a bad-ass Two-handed Warblade +4, and gave 'im
that +10% HP Ion Stone
- - Vyalgar
"Minsc... have you seen professional care...? I just find it
disturbing that one that fights so well has so little left
of his bearings..."
He was using his family Blade, and the Celestial Fury. I also
equipped him, like all my characters, with a decent Missile Weapon,
for those embarrasing times when you'd rather stand a bit back.
- - Keldorn
Simply 'cuz hes the only one that could use the +5 Sword that
rocks, and for his True Seeing Ability.
- - Aerie
Although her annoying "My wings, my wings!!!" comments got on my
nerves I still kept her around.
She is a Mage, something wich I like. And She is a Cleirc,
something wich enables her to heal my party, from time to time.
(Alto, really)
- - Imoen
Why... err.... she's me sister? She's a Mage? She's Got good
Lockpicking ability, so that I don't have to waste 1 level 2 spell
on Knock? I don't really know why I kept her. Probably to keep my
party all Good-aligmented.

It seemes to me that you are answering on all the topics I have made, this signs well . And I must remind you about Jan and Hear'Dalis who also could use the holy avanger if they get the use all item abilites. And heres a presantation of my party:
Myself: Z'en Z'ar:
Started as true nutral but ended up as lawful evil, elf(of course) kenai. He did sick much damage in the end, he took like 80 hp in a good critical hit, and that was without any belts of strength
Aerie:
Shes a good spellcaster and with crom feayr she gets okey in fighting, and she was perfect in my elven party
Hear'Dalis:
To cool to miss, and I needed one that could handle the avanger. And again he fittet perfectly in to my elven party
Viconia:
The only Cleric cool enough for my party, and I needed one that could use the flail of ages. and she fittet perfectly in to my elven party.

Vionica has got 10 in strength... a little weak for the Flail I'd say. Then agin... you might have given her a belt.
As for answering all your threads... they were, oddly enough, one only ones I found to be immediately interesting.
Thsi does not bode well... not well at all...

| In baldurs gate it seems that it is. If you speak with Hear'Dalis before you make him join your party you can ask him about his history, he tells you that his mother was a elf and that his father was somthing he not would like to talk about. |

| Well, in DnD and Forgotten Realms a Tiefling is actually half human and half something else from the planes, it's not an elf. The elf version is called a Fey'ri. So a tiefling is not an elf. Besides I wouldn't put too much in the info BG2 gives. It cane be somewhat incorrect |
