Anomen, priest paladin-wannabe, had some psychic problems with uncontrollable anger. I don't know why cause I never had them both, but *SPOILER*: he kills Aerie in some circumstances.

Heh, indeed, Call Lightning...very handy.

Hmm...I had no idea that would be part of Anomen character arc.

I knew there was a reason why I kicked him from the party in favour of Viconia. Despite her being a bitchy drow, she was still a sultry firey wench and was the best romance and cleric in the game. What was even more amusing was the by play between her, Aerie and Jhaheira.
Having all 3 romance plots in the party created Interesting Times


Ahh good times....

He acts like that if he fails, or so I heard. I wanted to keep Viconia with Keldorn but... sigh. I wonder how much of these incompatible people that will try to kill each other after after some weeks.

What a womanizer, man!

Actually my first run through the game was exactly like that, having the 3 women in the party, plus Minsc and Yoshimo. Aerie for her combined mage/cleric ability, Jaheira for her druid fighterness and Viconia for being a kick ass drow cleric. And yeah, why not have a few pretty ladies in the party? Once Yoshimo makes his exit, that gave room for Imoen to join in so it's 4 girls to one paladin and a lunatic with a hampster.

I had no idea at the time that they'd start a bitch fight over the protagonist which made it even funnier!

That is what made BGII exceptional I think. I have yet to see another single player CPRG go into such depth and detail with the NPC's and their relationship with the protagonist and other party members.

That is the underlying appeal to BGII and its where I firmly believe game designers need to go back to and look at closely if they are wanting to produce a game that will stand the test of time like BGII has.

Voted for BGII.
No Torment on the list, that would come second. And no NWN2, that would come third.
The above post - yeah, it happened to me too. Those three make for a pretty powerful party and it was enough to make me pick them. And then... wham! They start talking at the worst possible time.

Icewind Dale 1 + expansion for me. I've got all the IWD sound tracks playing in the background whenever the game's on. Works a treat!

Oh man - I cannot decide!
BG, NWN or EOB, I loved them equally for different reasons obviously... I have to meditate, I did not esxpect EOB here (leaning towards BG though)...

EDIT: Just had to go with BG 2, though I think we should have option BG 1+2.... EOB and NWN followed pretty close, though.

I personally enjoy both Baldur's Gate games. But I chose the second since I could not pick both.
