The Baldur's Gate Saga Cries for a Good Aligned Gnome

This is a selfish Feature request (sorry) and is more of a plea!

After going on 14 years I still just can't believe there's not a Good Aligned gnome to be found in Baldur's Gate or its sequel. Most gnomes are Good Aligned in AD&D and are quirky, fun characters to be around. While Tiax is quirky and fun in a different way, Quayle is just annoying and both are evil and neutral respectively. I'm not sure if there's any future plans for adding NPCs or if the 4 we have is what we get (I'm sure voice acting gets expensive) but a good-hearted gnome would be a great thing to consider. Recommendations: Fighter/Illusionist or Illusionist/Thief. :-)

    A very interesting observation...

    CHARNAME gnome Fighter / Illusionist is a very strong combo, especially if you are playing Good (and gain access to DUHM).

    The Baldur's Gate NPCs tend to subvert the stereotypical AD&D archetypes on at least one aspect. That's what makes them interesting.

    from what I remember from some of his interviews @TrentOster is gnomophibic.

    If I ever need another thing to boast about Finch, she's a NG gnomish cleric who worships Deneir.

    If you don't think Jan is quirky and fun, you're inhuman.

    Mur'Neth is my favorite BG1 NPC. Finch is pretty great, too, though.
