A VERY premature question for the devs

Okay. This is just my curiosity working overtime, but I figure it's a forum, there's no harm in asking...

If there is indeed an evil female thief being added for BG2:EE, could you tell us her name? :)

    That's what you're most curious about? Weird. If anything, I'd be asking what her stats are, as well as how her proficiencies and thief skills are allocated, because I'm a soulless powergamer.

    @TJ_Hooker: They're probably going to keep that information close to the chest, as they did with the other new NPCs... so if they're willing to tell us anything at all at this point, I'm hoping we can at least know her name. :)

    I'm actually curious about that as well, @TJ_Hooker. The most obvious kit for her would be Assassin, who only get 15 points a level,* and as an Assassin that would make it likely she'd have points in Hide in Shadows and Move Silently. However, due to the lower skill points that would have it difficult to utilise her as a utility thief right off the bat.

    * The other obvious choice would be the potentially-unearthed Shadowdancer kit, but that has the same problem, really (15 points per level).

    The things I'm most curious about is whether she'll only be introduced in BG2:EE, or whether we'll catch a glimpse of her in BG:EE.

    I really doubt they'll tell us that... Maybe when we start to get closer to release date we will start getting stories about the new NPCs as they did with BGEE. At least we know there are three new ones as Dorn, Rasaad and Neera will be coming back.

    I'm personally curious as to whether Mr Dangerously Diminished will be returning in a party capacity. I'm kinda hopeful.

    It's Mrs. Nasty McSneaky-Trapfinder. We'll fix it in post.

    @Coriander: She's married? Interesting...

    @Coriander: I wonder how that state of affairs came about.
  • CorianderCoriander Member Posts: 1,667
    @Eudaemonium They're deeply in love, but I've said too much already...
  • EudaemoniumEudaemonium Member Posts: 3,199
    I would actually love if this was all true.

    Everything Coriander said needs to be VA'd for the female thief.

    Anyone want to clue me in about the source of this rumour?

    I would have gone for a Duergar assassin encountered in the underdark myself.
  • shawneshawne Member Posts: 3,239
    @Fardragon:

    We're told that there's not nearly enough evil thieves in Baldur's Gate 2. We'll try and address that in BG2:EE ;) -OverhaulNathan

    BG2 needs a good single class thief. Yeah, and she should be cool, not irritating -OverhaulTrent

    TY

    "she should be cool"

    Confirmation of Swashbuckler kit then. Because everyone knows, pirates are cool. ;)
  • shawneshawne Member Posts: 3,239
    Well, I wouldn't take it as confirmation per se - assassins are cool too - but... I guess we'll see. :)
  • SilverstarSilverstar Member Posts: 2,207
    Assassin would make a lot of sense if it is indeed an evil character, which is a shame due to the much lower thief skills which is why we need a thief class in the first place. I would've loved a pure Thief-type thief, but unfortunately the community seems to despise those for some reason.

    I would prefer a dwarf that's not bat**** crazy... I always missed yeslick in bg2, instead they gave us anomen (ugh) to fill his role.

    Anomen isn't a dwarf, just sayin'.

    I'd actually quite like a Swashbuckler. Of course, then she'd just be a kind of 'lesser fighter', which we don't really need another of (Dorn, Korgan, Koveras).

    I'd go with assassin if I were allowed to choose, but we'll see.

    It's Natasha Badenov searching for her lost husband Boris.
  • reedmilfamreedmilfam Member Posts: 2,808
    Which begs the question of if @Wanderon just pulled a rabbit out of his hat...
