New Enhanced Edition DLC NPC (What class/kit?)

Which class (kit) you want to be a possible new DLC NPC in BG2 Enhanced Edition. A pure class kitted or vanilla or a multiclass or dual class. Please explain.
Only 10 poll options are availible. As we already have Hexxat and Rasaad it would be fair to merge this 2 classes into one poll option if you're not pleased with them and want another thief or monk. Same for Mage\Sorcerer as we have Neera and Baeloth. "Pure Paladin" option only for a Lawfull Good NPCs, not like Dorn the Blackguard as we already have one.
Or vote for "Other" if you want to see a specific multi or dual class NPC or even a new classkit and explain your position.

    The argument for Barbarian seems strongest to me simply because we've had variants on every class except that one - I mean, I'm not sure why you'd want a pure Paladin when Keldorn is around, but... yeah.

    BG1EE DLC first. Maybe something between BG1 and BG2, for expirienced parties after final fight

    I got couple things I'd like to see neutral Favoured Soul(mainly to add varition to choice of healers), neutral good female barbarian(with strong character bit like Shar-Teel), and it would also be cool to finally a sorcerer NPC in BG2.

    I'm thinking an archer. It looks interesting but I like my char names up front

    A heterosexual female thief whom you can't have children with because she only likes buggery.
  • DarkDoggDarkDogg Member Posts: 598
    @Jalily voted for "Other". Interesting to know what kind of other NPC she would like to see :-)

    I'd like a new druid kit/character. If you wanted me to go deeper, I'd like an insect powers and disease spreading druid. Kind of like a cancer mage/vermin lord put together. I want to play a PC covered in cockroaches. Thus also providing a needed non-mediocre druid kit. Or on the less disgusting end, maybe a shadow druid kit since we've kind of already seen them running around in universe.

    I'm also down for a female barb. Maybe a straight neutral because I dont think there are any neutral tanks existing in BG2.

    Also, a cleric/thief might be nice to add, but only if the interface is fixed so the thieving button isn't in the special abilities section.

    Well, considering that tank is covered by Rasaad/Dorn, melee is covered by Dorn/Hexxat and ranged is covered by Hexxat/Baeloth/Neera, the only thing I really miss is healing.

    EDIT: A druid would be fine as well I guess, apart from the Cleric.

    I like to have two arcane casters on my team... It would be great to have a good aligned caster so powerfull as Edwin...

    P.S.: I trade the above for Baeloth!

    Halfling who is a cleric (Leaftender kit)
  • AramintaiAramintai Member Posts: 232
    No more NPCs, better make more content - quests, locations, Black Pits 3...

    There is no many archers in the game. I would create some kind of ranger or fighter with high proficency in bow skills. Maybe dual class it to fighter / thief

    There's already two ranger NPCs. I'll state again : We're missing a good old jester.
    Chaotic Neutral. Cracking jokes around.
    Becomes Jan Jansen Best buddy EVAR

    And can't be romanced. Please. At least give us some "unromanceable" NPCs, it's not like our characters are walking dicks that want to screw whoever happens to be their teammates :|

    - Evil/Neutral Ranger Kit (basically non-good) something in the way of Dark Hunter (a Ranger that can set traps and possibly poison enemies/low backstab (x2)
    - If not that - a Halfling Barbarian with an interesting backstory.

    Can I vote for more kits in IWD instead of new NPCs on bg2?
  • SceptenarSceptenar Member Posts: 606
    I vote bard, don't really care what kit though. The reason being that there is only a single bard in the game, Haer'dalis, and I don't particularly care for him.
  • ElendarElendar Member Posts: 831
    pure Bard or Jester.
  • MaconaMacona Member Posts: 70
    I would like a Fighter/Mage NPC.

    i realy wouldn't mind any of these; bard, cleric, archer, thief. i feel all of these are lacking in BG2
