Imoen. Dunno if I could leave my darling little sis behind if my life depended on it.

So many favourites to choose from. Honestly, I think BG1 had much more interesting NPCs than BG2. I voted for Garrick in the end though. The 'clueless bard' type of comic relief character is usually a must in my BG parties. But other favourites include Xzar, Minsc, Jaheira, Khalid, Viconia, Edwin, Quayle, Skie and Imoen.

Yeslick immediately stands out to me as adding something characterization-wise that's missing in BG2.

I voted before I realized there are possibly interesting characters I haven't got to know (Shar-Teel, Skie, Safana).

I voted Coran, because I had to even the odds: Kivan is too damn boring. And I think Coran is actually better in combat. He's a thief, too.

Wow, I don't remember seeing anyone before sayin that Kivan is boring. I agree, by the way. I like Coran, although I don't like how he treats the problem with his kid. Otherwise he's cool and good to have around in the party.

I don't know; he just seems too serious (although he does look like Robin Hood). I prefer more cheerful and laidback characters around.

Me too, I like characters who actually add something to the overall feel of the adventure. Which doesn't neccesarily mean that they can't be serious. I like having Jaheira around, for example. Even though Kivan does have a reason for being so brooding and serious, it just seems that his character doesn't go much beyond that. And that's depressing, and I prefer my parties lively.

I vote for Kivan - I like him very much, he's so... normal. Xan is good, but this is not enough for me

[smoky tune]

well I vote for Kivan too.
firstly I thought about Edwin as he is one the most powerful chars in the game, but his personality isn't that good. ajantis and kagain are also of great use, but the former is evil and the latter (like most paladins) is too righteous.
Kivan is both powerful and pleasant character, though he keeps some hate in his heart for those who killed Deheriana.

Montaron. It's absolutely diffrent of standard halfling, like Allora (that is as it should be normal halfling.) Monty has great soundset (Polish version) and NPC Project adds great flavour to him.

[Vherdel]

Well the worst for me is Anomen, but thats not the deal here now is it?

The best to me are Edwin, since he's awesome, along with Korgan and of course, the mighty Tiax.
I like Imoen in bg2 for her cool comments ( and she's hot ), and Minsc is just plain funny, even though he's good ( and i tend to dislike good characters, especially paladins ).
I also dislike Jaheira's annoying bossy comments.
Well, I stab most NPC's who disagree with me in the back anyway >=D

Tiax would be my favorite out of all, he's damn funny and does'nt mind when I just kill stuff without a reason.

If I shove my fangirly side out of the picture, it's a fight between Coran, Viconia and Xzar. I have a weakspot for the womanizing characters, especially when they're elves.
I dunno what it is about Viconia, mayhaps the fact that shes a drow and the fact that drows hold a special place in my heart, but she just happens to be the girl of the game that completely wins my heart.
And what's not to love about mentally unstable loony? Frank Welker won my heart with the splendid job he pulled off shifting from calm and collected to the sudden HERP DERP.

Now, if we leave the idiot fangirly side with us, Xan is the character adored by my whole family since my years in elementary school, (I still hear my mom mumble his "Let us simply save our efforts and just lie down and die" quote from time to time.) His pessimistic attitude has always been considered humerous, despite the urges to punch him as well.

[Zireael]

I voted for Viconia, although there are several hot on her heels. Jaheira, Khalid, Imoen, Kivan, Minsc, Dynaheir, Coran...

[Lord of Al]

Was a tough fight between Edwin and Xan for me, it ended up Edwin since his personality had always made me chuckle and want to bring him along, while Kulyok's mods made Xan into a real person. The problem is I usually end up taking Imoen, Nalia and Xan, and I barely have enough room for my PC a fighter and ANOTHER mage! (Edwin) Hm, I guess I could fighter/mage Xan, and use Anomen as the fighter/cleric and fit the mage/thieves in...

This is a BG1 pool, not a BGT/BGII one...
The best combo is Fighter/Paladin or Ranger PC, with Minsc, Dynaheir, Imoen, Branwen... and usually Jaheira or Ajantis. Thus the Dynaheir.
