edited February 2014 in General Discussion (Spoiler Warning!)
I often find fighters to be a bit boring and one-dimensional, but there are some great ones out there. I'd like to see your options

Of course, please vote and share if you wish to qualify your response.

Note: I included Dorn since it did not feel right to put him in the paladin poll, and Rasaad because this is the only place where he really fits. Also did not include duals or multis since space was limited.

    Sarevok is just so cool

    I love Mazzy too (can't believe I never actually voted for her on any of the polls, and she was an option on quite a few)

    I really like Rasaad as well. After finishing his story into ToB his stock may rise.

    Dorn seems to be really popular around these parts, actually. I think that all EE NPCs are at a disadvantage due to familiarity and nostalgia, though I suppose some people will favor fresh options.

    This is true. It was kind of a toss-up between Dorn and Khalid for me.

    "Between me and WHO?"

    Did I say Khalid? I meant Sarevok. Yup. Because you are tooootally more manly than Sarevok. C'mon, Koveras? *snicker**snicker*

    "Hmmm..."

    In other news, yay! I'm not alone on the poll anymore! :D

    I really like Dorn. He's been a staple in my party fot my last 2 playthroughs.

    I'd love to meet her in real life and tame her to a lousy little "love"-begging creature

    Rasaad is the best of the new NPCs in the EEs. At first he's like "Sun Soul this" and "Sun Soul that." But then in BG2EE it's like he loses his naivete and gets somewhat bitter. He strives to uphold the principles of his order but he starts to doubt himself when he resorts to deception and faking his betrayal to the Sun Soul to find Alorgoth and avenge Gamaz. Anyone would if they were committing acts that are the antithesis to their faith.

    His dedication to revenge is respectable but in ToB you realize that its more than that - it's an obsession to him. He does a total 180 in character when assaulting the Deepstone Clanhold and the reaction it got from me was, "Holy crap, this guy means BUSINESS." Thankfully he didn't freak out on us like Exiled Anomen, and once we "killed" Alorgoth, it was like rescuing Rasaad from the deep end.

    Rasaad's a great NPC. I wonder if Cuv has anything in mind for him in the new Ascension, like helping you convince Balthazar to stand down.

    Just as with Imoen we should keep the prize in the family.
  • booinyoureyesbooinyoureyes Member Posts: 6,164
    @Flashburn I agree that Rasaad is the most awesome of the new EE characters. I also think he's the one that fits in the most with the original cast thematically. I loved his development in BG2
  • CrevsDaakCrevsDaak Member Posts: 7,155
    Man, Sarevok is one of the coolest NPCs ever. I don't know much but he the most badass ever, even more assholish than Cernd...
  • TwoWayFinesseTwoWayFinesse Member Posts: 128
    Surprised Korgan doesn't have a bigger vote.
    But Sarevok, come on, son of a God, gets the cool armour and sword, (almost) starts a war, dies twice and still gets redeemed!
    Did I mention the deathbringer assault yet?
  • TwaniTwani Member Posts: 640
    I swore I would scratch and crawl my way back into the world of the living... and I have done it!

    There are many great fighters in this series. I love Mazzy. Khalid has carried me through many BG1 games. Dorn and Rasaad I both enjoy. Our dour dwarves are always fun. Wilson is a freakin' bear, man. Shar-Teel has an excellent BG1 romance.

    But dear brother is perhaps the most excellent fighter you can find, deathbringer assault brings doom to all who face him, and SAREVOK STANDS READY. He'll stand at your side as your Herald if you Ascend evily, or conquer countries in the wake of mourning his girlfriend if you redeem him. No matter what path he takes, it's the path of awesome. Cheers to you, dear brother. Let's take on the world.

    Mazzy and the 'vok are neck and neck. No one else is even close.
    Interesting to see how it turns out! Polling closes at midnight on Teusday the 18th Eastern Time!

    personality wise I would say Rasaad, but the monk kit is so boring to me gameplay wise that it holds him way back with that, so I go with Khalid. he is very effective and it is a shame that people with their 3 charisma charnames complain so much about him losing morale. i never have problems with it and he puts in a hug amount of the work for the party. he isn't as strong as some of them personality wise, but I like him enough in that way to say he is my favorite overall still

    I voted Korgan in the dwarf poll, so Kagain gets this vote.

    That Malaysian medicine student and the shrewd feminist from my school I'm bangin' would beg to differ
  • deltagodeltago Member Posts: 7,811
    Mazzy, but something tells me it'll change to Wilson once I finally meet him.
  • jackjackjackjack Member Posts: 3,251
    A hilarious rampaging lunatic dwarf that tears through the most difficult enemies in the game, whilst rocking shorty saves? Yes please.
  • RewolfRewolf Member Posts: 102
    When he is not busy fleeing, stuttering or running away, Khalid makes an excellent fighter!
  • CantabCantab Member Posts: 56
    Khalid, because he is one of your first NPC's, plus I know I get to bang his wife.
  • Demonoid_LimewireDemonoid_Limewire Member Posts: 424
    Sarevok! There is no better fighter around.
  • AristilliusAristillius Member Posts: 873
    Sarevok is the only evil NPC I have played with - but he is awesome and badass ^^
