I was just wondering, which NPC cant you stand. For me, no matter how many times I play through, I will never take Haer Dalis with me. Is there anyone you cant stand?

Imoen. There is only one step between mocking and cruelty, and she made it.

Edwin, for sure!

But asking Valygar: "Hey, word's on the street that you killed your parents," or stealing Keldorn's ring qualifies, I guess. (Not to mention being present in the game in obnoxious proportions, but this is another story entirely.) -------------------- |

Jan. His stories annoy me.
I don't like Haer'Dalis (hands off of Aerie!) or Edwin either. I've never taken Mazzy, but that's because she never fits into my party. |

Well, truth be told - Jaheira.
I can't stand her crappy sniping annoyances. I feel like killing her, using raise dead, and putting her in front of a dragon naked and watching her get chunked. "Omnipresent Authority Figure" indeed... |

I don't like Anomen. I only took him once, when I was playing with a female pro, because I wanted to see how the romance is going to develop. Other than that I find him annoyng and I think he represents a specific quality in people that I really don't apreciate - braggadocio.

Nalia. Her crusade to help the poor combined with her general immaturity gets on my nerves. Mods have changed my perspective, though, so I will allow that a well-written mod might change my mind. What I mean by this is that sometimes expanding an NPCs role in the game sometimes adds sufficient complexity to a character to offset an initial negative reaction. Before the NPC Project, I hated Kivan. Now, I love him.

Cernd, for such a generally inoffensive guy, seems to elicit extremes. It seems like people either love him or can't stand him.
I don't like him, personally, but some people for whom I have a great deal of respect do like him, so there must be something I'm missing. Either that, or he's like that one childhood friend of your spouse...you know the one. |

Aerie and Anomen. I don't know why, I just don't like them. I could stand them only when I tried their romance, but when the romances were over - aloha, Ano and Aer!

Imoen. Unlike other characters that rub you in the wrong way she is also plot-important and therefore endlessly mentioned as someone you gotta have some warm feelings for. That puts her beyond competition in my books of the Worst Joinable NPC ever.

Anomen..I mean, everything from face to dialect screams JACKASS!
He's not even fun-jackass like edwin..bah, the only reason to have him in the party is to polymorph him into a squirrel and send him first against firekraag. -------------------- *knock knock*

Wow, you guys are vicious. I'd never take someone just to kill them off, well, except Khalid from BGI, but you have to if you want Jaheira.
I've come close with Anomen a few times, but I didn't want to sully any of my party slots with his sickening character. The portrait just makes it worse, you know. And this is weird, because I almost always play a chaotic good char striving for goodness and not caring about the laws. You'd think the laws part would be my only problem, and that one not much of one, but the guy just makes me SICK, and I don't even know why. -------------------- Everything that is in the mortal world has been made.

Thankfully, everyone is different. Otherwise, the world would be a boring place.
I never liked Aerie or Nalia, but some people adore them. Something good can be said of the 'worst' NPC, just like something bad can be said of the 'best'. Let me say some nice things about some of the NPCs I don't particularly care for: Aerie--very sweet Nalia--crusader for others, very unselfish Cernd--generally agreeable (as in no one in the party ever threatens to beat him up) |

Khalid gets a raw deal a lot of the time. To be honest I prefer Khalid's personality to Jahiera's most of the time...it's just that Khalid isn't much help in the party as a tank...he tends to run away "better part of valor" and all that! He makes a nice archer though!

I don't like Valygar, he's so plain it hurts. At least Cernd has moments of feelings...the closest Valy comes is the death of Lavok with his "Aww shucks, Oh well" attitude.
Edit: Ok, He's good for backstabbing and dual weilds like a master. Valy is a pretty good NPC, I just think his personality is lacking. This post has been edited by Khaos1987: Oct 5 2006, 03:21 AM |
