Boo's NPC Polls Part 6: Who is the Thickest Thief?

booinyoureyesbooinyoureyes Member Posts: 6,164
We here at this forum are as thick as thieves! (thanks to @JLee for the term)

Pick your fave (based on whatever you want) and give a brief explanation if you are so inclined.

PS: I really wanted to add Hexxat and Nalia, but the space was limited to 10. I didn't add Hexxat because I felt bad leaving off an original character, but would love to add see her as a "write in candidate". Nalia only has four levels, but would still be a legitimate option.

Sorry guys :( Just too many thieves trying to display their skill and expertise, andthe world will just have to be blind to some of their passing.


edit: I think "write in candidate" section section is Hexxactly what we need
Hexxat: 2 votes
Nalia: 0 votes
  1. Boo's NPC Polls Part 6: Who is the Thickest Thief?112 votes

    6. Alora (she makes me HAPPY)
        6.25%
    7. Coran (Since life is adventure or nothing, I think he deserves a pat on the back)
      10.71%
    8. TIAX RULES ALL

    This one is even harder than the Cleric polls for me, since Yoshimo and Imoen have been in every game I've ever played, and are probably my favorite NPCs overall (respect to Sarevok and Boo as well)

    I gotta go with Yoshi simply because he is more of a pure thief and I will probably pick Imoen as my most magnificent mage. He is so suave, has great quotes, and simply has the most swag of any character. Voice acting and lines are top notch and entertaining. His tragic story both aggravates and pleases at the same time.

    Weird, my previous post got blanked, I did not know such a feat to be possible, I'll leave it that way for future reference.

    I have a hard time ever dismissing Imoen, because she's been with me through the whole game, and I can't take her "kick-out" dialogue in Spellhold, but Jan is my favorite thief.

    First, with his technological equipment, he's the *best* thief. He has 100 percent detect illusions without sacrificing any open locks or find traps. He has leather armor that lets him cast spells. He can stun enemies with the Master Blaster. He keeps progressing as a thief, so you can build his stealth and/or set traps skill as well.

    And, he's so funny! BG2 can be so dark with most of the characters, it can get depressing. Jan and Minsc provide desperately needed comic relief.

    He always reminds me of Neelix from Star Trek:Voyager. What would Voyager have been without Neelix? For me, the same goes for Jan Jansen and BG2.

    WHY IN THE NINE HELLS I LIKE MANY THIEVES SO MUCH! I simply can't vote :(
    Esit: voted for Jan, I won't forgot Safana, Tiax and Coran! Never!

    While not the greatest character... Skie has the best natural thief skill distribution.

    No room for Hexxat in poll options I see...

    Where the Hexxat? (oldie bud goodie) She's just awesum, love her both physically and for her physical abilities.
  • TressetTresset Member, Moderator Posts: 8,268
    You could have left Tiax out since he is in plenty of your other polls already. I would have found room for Hexxat.

    but Tiax ruless ALL polls. I actually considered leaving out Skie as I didn't think she'd get any votes (many seem to despise her). I felt more comfortable leaving Nalia out to be honest. The other option would have been to exclude Coran since many use him mainly as an archer, but I thought that would upset more people.

    Tiax deserves his own poll!

    Alora is my fav, I mean she can pickpocket Drizzt without potions!
  • the_spyderthe_spyder Member Posts: 5,018
    Jan just eaks out Yoshi, both in the poll and in my view. Both are awesome in their own right.

    @Delvarian - what poll would you have Tiax deserve? Greatest tiny dictator? Most awesome in his own mind?

    Who rules all? @the_spyder
  • the_spyderthe_spyder Member Posts: 5,018
    @Delvarian - Ok, but so who would he compete against? In order for it to be a poll, there needs to be some dispute as to who DOES rule all, and as far as I know, there isn't. Tiax Rules all. There is no contest. So no poll.
  • DelvarianDelvarian Member Posts: 1,232
    Tiax agrees.

    Hi-YAH!

    (This was a pointless post.)
  • shawneshawne Member Posts: 3,239
    Hexxat, with Safana as a close second.
  • booinyoureyesbooinyoureyes Member Posts: 6,164
    I'm gonna start counting Hexxat or Nalia votes in the poll text for people like @shawne who want to vote for her. I'm giving two right now (along with Tresset's)
    Speak up if you want to vote for Hexxat or Nalia

    THE Yoshimo! Feared by all!

    I was SO sad when he died.


    I also like Coran though....I picked him up because he's absurdly good at shooting things (that 20 Dex, man....), and brought him along to Durlag's Tower where he shot all of the things and found...most of the traps.

    wow this was a hard one for me. tbh though his betrayal makes me feel bad for him. a geas is a horrible thing. imoen, I am sorry but you don't really have much to you when in both games you were never meant to be in until last minute. you were swiftly put together for BG1, and in BG2 you were meant to die. you just don't have enough to you other than a shared heritage for your character
