There should be more thieves in the City of Thieves.
Personally I would like to see an Assassin evil elf girl in BG2:EE :-)

They mentioned in the AMAA they were adding a female single classed thief in BG2EE. Now let me go see if I can find said quote in the AMAA.
Or rather I should but its like 4:30 am. Long story short, yes they plan on adding one. My bet is that it'll probably be a new thief and likely romancable but that's mere speculation and no fact.
Sorry my information was slightly off at the start. The predictions are that it will be a pure thief since the rest of the evil NPCs in BG2 are all pure classes.
Also summoning @Quartz just for fun
I think it was Trent who said later somewhere in the AMAA that they would add a new thief and something along the lines of, "And she should be fun, not annoying." Notice 'she.'
I wouldn't exactly expect that. Nalia is pretty close to a single class mage (dualing at 4 doesn't give her much utility). On top of Imoen and then the multi-classed annoying godcaster known as Aerie, I doubt good will see any more mages =( Honestly any new NPCs they add (other than Rasaad, Neera and Dorn which are confirmed) I figure will probably be Evil.
There are only 4 evil NPCs in BG2EE (Korgan, Viconia, Edwin, Dorn) and only 5 in ToB [Spoiler]Sarevok[/Spoiler]
Just throwing numbers off the top of my head, Good NPCs = 9, Neutral NPCs = 8 [Spoiler]7 After Yoshimo bites the bullet[/Spoiler]
My numbers on Good and Evil NPCs are close I believe but I don't remember exactly atm.
Edit: Just read that reddit thing and they specifically mention that it's an evil thief. YAY!
also:
[Spoiler]Your paladin has to side either with the Shadow Thieves guild or with a Coven of Vampires which also doubles as a thieves guild and you're complaining about running with Imoen or Nalia?[/Spoiler]
Also, I'd love if they just finished Yoshimo's questline, or at minimum at least slapped a line in there to get him back in the party, even if they don't add the rest of it. Doubtful, since I think that would probably be one of the things they can't touch, but damn it, it annoys me that it was left unfinished
Anyway, about the question: Jan is all I'll ever need.
"Do you like my perfume?" She'd say, before she sinks the blade into the peasant's gullet.
But Skie would be wonderful. Either a more confident Skie, that has run away from home on her own accord and not because some bard told her to. Or a Skie who has been swindled of a priceless family heirloom by Eldoth, so she's taken it upon herself to retrieve it back. Partly to get back at Eldoth but mainly to avoid shaming the Silvershield name and having to answer to her father.
Her questline would take her across Arm tracking Eldoth's movements and later whoever he sells the heirloom to in the Trademeet. There could even be a little Garrick reunion, although trusting him he probably doesn't even remember her.
Human female thief please
AND a barbarian
edit:
And a sorcerer for good measure
Anyway, pure thief please. I don't think it should have to be human or elf though; I'd rather have a conceptually cool character than one that's crowbarred in to fill various quotas. I'd just as soon welcome a Gnome/Dwarf/Halfling thief as a Human/Elf one.
I imagine a dualled Kensai/Thief would also be proficient at slaughter, 5x max damage backstabs, maybe throw in some one handed style for some double the critical threat love and to accentuate the point that this one stab matters. Wouldn't be half terrible in melee after the pain train arrives either. You'd think the AC should be poor but in truth, with two points in one handed style and the kensai base +2 bonus, it's the equivalent of a thief wearing studded leather +1 with AC 6, and that's just for showing up with a weapon. 18 dex? AC 2. +2 ring? AC 0. Cloak of Bal-OKAYWEGETIT.
Also, Kensai + Use Any Item = WEAR ALL OF THE THINGS |o/
So yeah, if thief, I hope there's some stabbyback love, either in the form of recurring invisibility or some physical presence on the field. Because now fighters can hit a 5 APR "unbuffed" with Belm or Kundane and that rogue'll really need to justify their place beyond plinking away on my backline.
I almost posted a really long comment basically explaining exactly what you said. Thank you for understanding!!! I was hoping this poll would have an Other or a No option (I would have voted Other and specified Yoshimo!!)
