I love Keldorn power-wise, but I think he's kinda boring.Nobody likes Keldorn or Cernd?
Cernd doesn't help me in power or dialogue,.

Oh, squiggly line in my eye fluid. I see you lurking there on the periphery of my vision. But when I try to look at you, you scurry away. Are you shy, squiggly line? Why only when I ignore you, do you return to the center of my eye? Oh, squiggly line, it's alright, you are forgiven.

Keldorn's okay, but he can't use Carsomyr IIRC, and he doesn't have lay on hands... 
And besides, he should *really* be at home with his family!

I like both of them Cernd, but unfortunately I have a favorite who surpassed them him.
I lied, I don't much like Keldorn.

I love Keldorn. Adore him, in fact. But there was only the possibility to vote for one.

Yeah he can, and Lay on Hands isn't that useful as far as I'm concernedKeldorn's okay, but he can't use Carsomyr IIRC, and he doesn't have lay on hands...
, would rather have Dispel and True Sight anyway...(but you're probably right about your last point ).I'm not surprised Cernd hasn't gotten any votes. I am a little surprised Keldorn hasn't gotten at least one. And I'm very surprised Jan and Sarevok are tied for the lead

With so many Bioware and mod NPCs, you can play two main types of game. There's "Spring Break" in which you go partying with your five best friends, and "Company Conference" in which you force yourself to go with the five most annoying and/or inappropriate people.
I don't know anyone who would choose the second option but it's there if you are really bored. It would be like playing a multiplayer game with six gnome thieves who have no lock-picking or trap-detecting spells and who are all proficient in darts and nothing else. Yes, that sounds like my last company conference, all right.

I did battle with monsters, and they became me, and when I gazed into the abyss, the abyss looked away shyly.
See, it helps not to believe all the stuff that philosophers spout.

I would have assumed that Keldorn would have received a vote before Nalia or Yoshimo.
I'm not really surprised at Jan and Sarevok being in the lead, although I would have thought some of the other NPCs having as many votes--or at least more than they have now. Minsc, Edwin and Anomen immediately come to mind. Or even Viconia.

Me neither!! I can't stand him and his silly turnip stories, and knew a lot of people felt the same, but had no idea he would be a favorite!I had no idea Jan was so popular
Just goes to show...

A tough call. Each one (with the possible exception of Cernd) is unique and brings something to the table. I feel that Minsc is without a doubt the most enjoyable person. The only time I leave him out is if I am trying an evil party. He & Boo are magical!

Butt kicking for goodness! is the appeal.
Cernd sucks. Boring personality and dull soundset. Keldorn is ok for a goody, goody paladin.

Cernd has some very nice moments, actually.

Cernd's okay, a decent druid, but *really* he should be at home with his kid (didn't I already say that?? Oh now, wait, that was for Keldorn... 
)
Seriously, though, I like Cernd, he has a few fun banters, but I just never seem to have space for him as I always seem to have just one cleric or druid in my party (and it's usually Anomen, because I'm either romancing him, or want to see the romance conflicts, and besides, he's pretty good, once he's knighted, and if you put that nice Flail of Ages in his hands).
As for Minsc... I heartily agree!! BG2 wouldn't be BG2 without Minsc and Boo and Minsc!
Go for the Eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes!!

Aerie isn't so bad. Her so-called whining never bothered me and honestly, I would very much like to see how anyone else would react if they had both of their arms shoulder-down cut off.
As for Cernd, he's not parenting material. The child would be better off being raised by someone else.

With as much flak as she gets, I'd certainly expect better of Edwin and Valygar than her. But no, they're actually behind her. I kinda feel bad for them.I'm a little surprised at Aerie being so popular, too.
