Because face it, you can't like everyone.

So far I made it to Neverwinter once, and I like all the joinables well enough.

Except Neeshka. That voice of hers just drives me nuts. And she is the only thief in the game.

Give me a different voice and I would probably like her. She actually reminds me a bit of someone I know.

But that voice...


So anyways, who is it that irks your nerves like nails on a chalkboard, that pushes every single button like a younger sibling, that... well you get the point. Post them here, but no flaming those with differing opinions. Express your own, but respect others'.

Casavir gets my vote. It's not that he's a bad guy, he's just so... boring.

[whatbrick]

Egads, let's see here (in no particular order as they all grate on my nerves equally):

• Bishop - He's a jerk. A homicidal jerk. A homicidal jerk that doesn't know when to shut-up...strike three, you're out!
  
• Casavir - Too emo.
  
• Elanee - Creepy stalker type that has all the traits of a bad wife with none of the angry grudge sex.
  
• Khelgar - I get it already, you like to fight...now shut-up about it before you find out how much I like to fight.
  
• Qara - See Khelgar...substitute fight with fire.
  
• Zhjaeve - A serious speech impediment and no sense of skin-care.

Wait, did you want only one?

[Kellen]

I feel kinda guilt asking, but you've made me curious. So (OT) is there anyone you do like?

And no, don't need only one. I did one because I like both Khelgar and Elanee so far.

I don't like Kipp much though.

And haven't gotten others to join me yet.

[Solstice]

Casavir. A more one-dimensional character who you see outside the prologue, there is not.

Bishop. That sexist pig mother****** I can't stand him. I wish npcs were killable, he would have been dead the first time I even talked to him.

I either like, or don't mind, the rest of the NPCs: Neeshka, Sand (he was pushing it some, though), Grobnar, Shandra, et al. I don't want to list them all since I don't know if I'd be divulging any(more) spoilers.

Though all of the characters in NWN2 suffered from taking their personality traits too far, the ones I listed above were traits that just rubbed me the wrong way.

I don't think I'd be happy just killing him once...Raise Dead would have finally served a purpose in the game.

Are you kidding? I'm female, and Bishop was my favorite character in the entire game! He's one of a grand total of three characters with any depth to them at all-him, Ammon, and Khelgar towards the end. I really wish I could have had a real romance with him.

[MystykStar]

I haven't met many so far, but Quara (or however you spell it) I do not like. No matter which option I choose when talking to her she's still recruited. Snooty stuck-up people I can't stand. So, I left her in the pub.
I actually don't mind Neeshka's voice and personality. The first time I heard it I laughed as it sounded like she'd been sucking on helium balloons It's a bit odd at times because I'm female and play a male character, and Neeshka, as well as Elanee, both have a thing for my character

[DS Divine]

I never really liked Nasher.
Not in NWN nor NWN2.

Though there are features in him that I liked too.


I don't know, there are quite a few character I disliked, but can't figure out who's the most hated.
Maybe its nasher after all

Now this I don't understand. I have seen this at the Bioware forums as well. Why would a woman want a abusive pig like him as a romance? He's the type that would use you for sex, cook and clean his place and you do what he tells you.

And my "main" NWN2 character (the one I always think of as *my* character) is a CN Tempus-worshipping Tiefling Fighter/Weapon Master with a scythe. He's perfect, from my point of view. And look at it this way: Viconia's an evil-wannabe whore in need of a therapist, and yet the Viconia romance remains quite popular. And the only "romance" option in NWN2 is that insufferably dull, utterly one-dimensional paladin with a stick up his posterior named Casavir. He doesn't even have any of the flaws that made Anomen an interesting romance!

[Kellen]

I see. Uh most informative.

*Signs to the men in white coats that he found the patient suffering from anger issues*

jk. But yeah, I can understand that. And honestly. She's rather plain imo. Sometimes Obsidian just can't get anything right.

[Kellen]

Yes, I meant Obsidian's.

Let me fix that.

Probably the onrush of new members and the Oblivion forum that I got it messed up. Going now.

[MorningGlory]

Qara gets my vote. I tried to incorporate her into the party the first time I played through and just gave up after a very short while. After that, I avoided her as much as was possible.

I agree with Casavir. He was a dullard, which his voice matched perfectly. Seems like women get screwed over when it comes to romances. Whiney cry baby Carth in K1, Over the top goody two shoes Disciple in K2, Arrogant ass Anomen in BG2.

[Tempest]

Yes, the vigil practically screams ROMANCE ENCOUNTER HERE!!!

But we get Shandra instead. I really have to agree with the Mary Sue analogy with her-she rivaled Casavir for my least favorite character. As bad as it is for a female character, if you're a male, it all but yells that she's already in love with you and you with her, you can't tell her that you and Elanee are already an item-there are basically no opportunities for you to put her in her place, kick her out of the party, or otherwise say "Shut up, Shandra, or I'll shove a hellrime blast up your..."
